“ Niagara is an awful symbol of Infinite power—a version of Infinite beauty—a shrine, a temple erected by the hand of the Almighty for all the children of men. ”— Oration by Jas. C. Carter.

GENERAL VIEW OF THE FALLS.
Favorite positions for this view are Hennepin View in Prospect Park and the New Steel Bridge. At the left is the American Fall with Luna Island and Goat Island dividing it from the Horseshoe Fall. The Maid of the Mist, near her landing, and the inclined railway are minor objects of interest.
CANADIAN FALL, AND MAID OF THE MIST.
A trip on the “Maid of the Mist” past the Falls is one of the most fascinating of the experiences to be had at Niagara. The views of the descending floods, the swirling water below and the rainbow through the mist all lend enchantment to the trip.
AMERICAN FALL FROM PROSPECT POINT.
It is while standing at or near Prospect Point that the very large majority of people who visit Niagara get their first view of the wondrous cataract. At one wide sweep of vision Niagara is before you and you see the water pour over the edge of the precipice, falling with stupendous power on the rocks below.
