The Credit Valley Railway Company having placed a car at the service of the council we were kindly invited to accompany them to Toronto, a short time after the opening of the road.
Whene'er we take a tour abroad / We love to travel o'er new road, / Where scenery to us is new / And landscape pleasing to the view, / When invited for to rally / And take a trip on Credit Valley, / We resolved for to afford / A day with Council and School Board, / For to view the rural charms / Of hills and dales and fertile farms, / With joy we saw the sunbeams gleam / On Grand River beauteous stream, / And those perpendicular walls / Of rock, like old baronial halls, / We saw the great lake ebb and flow, / And queen city of Ontario, / While some enjoyed the genial smile / Of Hanlon on his lake girt isle, / Returning home each one exclaims / "Happiest spot is banks of Thames.
