Vancouver is a veritable metropolis, a beautiful cosmopolitan city; perhaps the most English in all the entire Dominion of Canada. It is famous for its wonderful forests, lovely drives, beautiful gardens and the finest private estates in all Canada. There is shown a water-wheel turned by the water from a spring from which the table water for Queen Victoria's own use was furnished and sent all the way to England because of its purity. There are many Scottish societies in Vancouver. Mr. Holmes takes you to witness an unusually fine series of athletic events and the awarding of prizes to the winners of the Highland dances. Such Scottish games as tossing the caber, tug of war and the like are also shown. Charming young ladies do the Highland Fling and the Sword Dance.
