Montreal, Quebec Monday, March 21
I get up at 7 A.M., and find the day dark and fine snow falling, which I judge to be a typical winter day in Eastern Canada. It should keep all days.
Had a good breakfast on the cars, and I must say that the dinners on the C.P.R. are all they are advertised to be. The train is on time and we arrive at Montreal at 8.55 A.M.
I have now come 2885 miles on the C.P.R.
The mileage of my entire trip is something like this:
New Haven to Cincinnati, Ohio 725
Cincinnati to Madison, Wisconsin 350
Madison to Little Rock, Arkansas 675
Little Rock to Houston, Texas 175
Houston to Austin 250
Austin to Tucson, Arizona 925
Tucson to San Diego, California 600
San Diego to Vancouver, B.C. 1815
Vancouver to Montreal, Quebec 2895
Montreal to New Haven, Conn. 200
Total mileage 8650
