The Sunset doorway of the Dominion, Vancouver, . The theatres and places of amusement are many, and con-ducted in accordance with modern taste. The Vancouver Opera 6 House, managed by Mr. E. R. Ricketts, has a most completeand up-to-date equipment, the system of lighting in use beingparticularly elaborate and costly, and found elsewhere only inthe great metropolitan Business blocks and public buildings in Vancouver aremainly built of stone, giving a very handsome and stable effect. Educational facilities and opportunities are of the highest,students being able to take their first and second year coursefor McGill University, Montreal, without leaving the city. Of all the fine intellectual arts held in the greatest esteemby the people of Vancouver, music certainly ranks first. Be-sides the excellent local brass bands, a strong association ofamateurs are banded together under the capable directorshipof Mr. Fred. W. Dyke. A Choral Society, of 140 voices and anorchestra of 45 instruments all of more or less training andknowledge, have been rehearsing some of those rich, seriousand modern compositions admired in the critical world of society has already done some capital work, is growing,and gives evidence of improvement year by year.
