GENERAL VIEW OF THE FALLS.
Favorite positions for this view are Hennepin View in Prospect Parkand the New Steel Bridge. At the left is the American Fall with LunaIsland and Goat Island dividing it from the Horseshoe Fall. The Maid ofthe Mist, near her landing, and the inclined railway are minor objectsof interest.
CANADIAN FALL, AND MAID OF THE MIST.
A trip on the “Maid of the Mist” past the Falls is one of the mostfascinating of the experiences to be had at Niagara. The views of thedescending floods, the swirling water below and the rainbow through themist all lend enchantment to the trip.
