an electric line. Among the manufactures are
pressed bricks, tile, beer, ploughs, flour, agate and tin-ware. The
village, picturesquely situated at the north end of Canandaigua Lake, a
beautiful sheet of water about 15 m. long with a breadth varying from a
mile to a mile and a half, is a summer resort. It has a county court
house; the Canandaigua hospital of physicians and surgeons; the
Frederick Ferris Thompson memorial hospital, with a bacteriological
laboratory supported by the county; the Clark Manor House (a county home
for the aged), given by Mrs Frederick Ferris Thompson in memory of her
mother and of her father, Myron Holley Clark (1806-1892), president of
the village of Canandaigua in 1850-1851 and governor of New York in
1855-1857; the Ontario Orphan Asylum; Canandaigua Academy; Granger Place
school for girls; Brigham Hall (a private sanatorium for nervous and
mental diseases); Young Men's Christian Association building (1905); and
two libraries, the Wood (public) library and the Union School library,
founded in 1795. There is a public playground in the village with free
instruction by a physical director; and a swimming school, endowed by
Mrs F.F. Thompson, gives free lessons in swimming. The village owns its
water-supply system. A village of the Seneca Indians, near the present
Canandaigua, bearing the same name, which means "a settlement was
formerly there" (not, as Lewis Morgan thought, "chosen spot"), was
destroyed by Gen. John Sullivan in 1779. There are boulder memorials of
Sullivan's expedition and of the treaty signed here on the 11th of
November 1794 by Timothy Pickering, on behalf of the United States with
the Six Nations--a treaty never ratified by the Senate. Canandaigua was
settled in 1789 and was first incorporated in 1812.

CANARD (the Fr. for "duck"), a sensational or extravagant story, a hoax
or false report, especially one circulated by newspapers. This use of
the word in France dates from the 17th century, and is supposed by
Littre to have originated in the old expression, "_vendre un canard a
moitie_" (to half-sell a duck); as it is impossible to "half-sell a
duck," the phrase came to signify to take in, or to cheat.

CANARY (_Serinus canarius_), a well-known species of passerine bird,
belonging to the family _Fringillidae_ or finches (see FINCH). It is a
