Just a picture of one of these far-off parts of the British Empire.
Many of us have, by reading, been to countries other than our own, and have imprinted on our minds vivid pictures which give unbounded pleasure-many of us have experienced that yearning to visit certain lands. To-night, then, "5SC" will ring up the curtain on Canada.
Make yourself quite comfortable, adjust your ear-phones, and if you act on our advice by lowering the lights, we feel sure you will receive a picture of the Dominion as it is to-day, with here and there a phase from the past, showing the struggles and successes of the great Pioneers.
The train will leave Quebec at 7.35 p.m., and we shall halt at Montreal, Ottawa,
Toronto, Hamilton, Niagara, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Jasper Park, Vancouver.
