Niagara Falls was reached without further mishap. These Falls are
situated on the Niagara River, between the Canadian side and the United
States. They are a hundred and sixty-two feet in height and are
considered by competent critics to be one of America’s most famous
natural beauties. The train stopped twenty minutes and Mr. Figgey had
several fast hacks convey the party to the various points of interest.
By way of getting an expression of opinion from the various members of
the party, the Editor secured short statements for the readers of the
_Argosy_.
“Great sight,” said Mr. Figgey. “Those Falls have power enough to run
all the factories in the U. S. A.”
“A notable sight,” said Mrs. Riley Withersby.
“More impressive than Dante’s ‘Inferno,’” said Mrs. J. Milton Brown.
“A masterpiece of Nature,” said Reverend Walpole.
“Unequalled in history,” said Wilbur Fry.
“Fine, but wait till you see Saint Peter’s in Rome,” said Mr. Ernest
Pratt, who was in Europe several years ago.
“Too bad I can’t get a good photo of it. The Falls would make a
beautiful moving picture,” said Mr. J. Milton Brown.
“Truly a sublime spectacle,” said Mr. Smiley Greene, the popular
undertaker.
“Gosh!” said Elmer Pratt.
It was with mingled feelings of sadness that ye Editor saw the gay party
steam eastward, as he was obliged for business reasons to return to Bird
Center. Other communications from members of the party will be printed
from time to time.
