 The copy filmed here has been reproduced thanks 
 to the generosity of: 
 
 Library of Congress 
 Photoduplication Service 
 
 The images appearing here are the best quality 
 possible considering the condition and legibility 
 of the original copy and in keeping with the 
 filming contract specifications. 
 
 Original copies in printed paper covers are filmed 
 beginning with the front cover and ending on 
 the last page with a printed or illustrated impres- 
 sion, or the back cover when appropriate. All 
 other original copies are filmed beginning on the 
 first page with a printed or illustrated impres- 
 sion, and ending on the last page with a printed 
 or illustrated impression. 
 
 The last recorded frame on each microfiche 
 shall contain the symbol — ^- (meaning "CON- 
 TINUED"), or the symbol V (meaning "END"), 
 whichever applies. 
 
 Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at 
 different reduction ratios. Those too large to be 
 entirely included in one exposure are filmed 
 beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to 
 right and top to bottom, as many frames as 
 required. The following diagrams illustrate the 
 method:

 has been pushed vi,v,n)rously in theSonth 
 by -Mr. Plant, he has at the same lime 
 been improviii)^; his lines between the 
 United States and the Maritime Prov- 
 inces, lie was one of the first to fore- 
 .see what has since been so abundantly 
 proven, that Xova Scotia and Prince 
 Edward Island were the most desirable, 
 sunuuerinir s|)ots within easy access 
 for Americans, and that they would, 
 as they have now become, the favorite 
 and elio>;en regions for health as well 
 as ])leastire seekers. The [)olicy of the 
 entire Plant System rellecls the jrene- 
 rous, broad-minded spu'it of its creator. 
 It is not to see just how little can be 
 done for its jxitrons to keep them from 
 complainini;-, l)Ut rather to do all for

 Xova. Seotia isa land girt round about 
 by the sea. No spot within itseonlllles is 
 niore than thirty miles from salt water, 
 lis summer elin'iale is as soft as that of 
 southc in Italy in May, Its sky rivals 
 that of the Kivieia in the intensity of 
 i-olor toms. lis air is vitalizing, exhil- 
 arative and rt'eupeiative. 
 
 it is a iiiuntrv in which nature has 
 been so lavish in'lier eharms that art is 
 scareelv missed at all. A region where 
 
 Hi.UlL' ^imlls 
 
 eaeh little hamlet, whether by sea or far 
 baek in the rugged interior, lias its indi- 
 vidual eharms "of (piaint novelty, and 
 where (lavs or weeks may be idleil away 
 in healthful rest. 
 
 ( )ne of the teiiderest of ])oets has east 
 over the region "the eonseeration and 
 purple light of his imaginings." i'erhaps 
 the hills will not be ipiile so softened in 
 their lines; jierhaps the mellow atmos- 
 phere mav be less seduelive, but if we 
 lose the eharms and faseinations of the 
 ideal, if the fair dreams of our imagina- 
 tion are seattered in the awakenin,g, we 
 lind in the reality of the present a full 
 eontent, and need not fear the erueial 
 test of personal aequaintanee. 
 
 One of the great all-pervading eharms 
 of Xova Seotia is its health and whole- 
 sonieness. Thejieople show it, and their 
 manners bes])eak it. The ehildren you 
 see arc ruddy-faeed and elumsy-limbed, 
 the voung men and maidens pietures of 
 robust health. Malaria is a slran.ger.

 Those who have spenl a vacation tin)c 
 with oiu- neighbors to the .Northeast, 
 know them to be a most liospitable, 
 warm-hearted and wholesome people! 
 without affectation or greed. The nerv- 
 ous activity, the ceaseless luirry an<l 
 hustle of the United States have no place 
 with them. Their characteristics are 
 more like those which mark the iMiglish- 
 nian at home. Genial, hosi)itable and 
 generous, they make the stranger wel- 
 come within 'their gales. Ask' a New 
 Yorker on his native' streets to direct you 
 to a sought for place, and you will get a 
 cpiick incisive answer. Ask a man in

 Such a thing as a burglary would, it

 and line ealhedral, a .governor, lieu-

 is the London and Paris of the Maritime

 points worthy the visitor's c<iUsidLr.i- 
 tion. Sivcraiiif her chnrclii'S, of which 
 there are niori' than I'ortv, an- histori- 
 cal, and will )'eiiay a visit. St. I'liul's, 
 l)ej;im in 17:0 and iidar^ed in i^lj, is 
 rich in mural tablet--, ,ind main- of Nova 
 Scotia's f'amous nii'ii sleep the loni;' .slci'p 
 under till' slR'lli'r of its protectin.!;' walls. 
 It is said the fi'aiue of this church was 
 bronj;lU from .Massachusetts in 1740, and 
 it has had but five rectors in the century 
 ami a half snice then. The " Little 
 I tulch Church," built in 175?, and whose 
 original si/i' and architeclni'e have never 
 been altifed, is still in ^imh[ ri'pair, aiul 
 the seeker after (plaint epila])hs can find 
 many curious ones in the mo.^sn-rown old 
 cemetery snrroundini;- it. 
 
 The official buildings of the Province 
 are archilectually strikiniL;'. and l)espcak 
 solidity. The l)ominioii Buildinjr, the 
 coriu'i'-stone of which was laid in iSii, 
 was up to 1.S30 the finest structure on the 
 Xortli American continent. It is still t!ie 
 admiration of architects and its };icat 
 lialls are beautiful in decoration aiui im- 
 |)osin)4- in si/.e. Within this building- are 
 located the Customs and I'ost-* >tfice de- 
 partments, .'uid Provincial Museum. The 
 new City Hall and the (iovernnieiit 
 House, occupied by the (iovernor. are ini- 
 posinxand conspicuous official liuildinj;s. 
 
 I)alhoiisie Collej,^', a handsome and 
 pretentious modern structure, richly en- 
 dowed and well ei|uipped, is the most 
 prominent of the educational institutions 
 of Halifax. 
 
 The visitor whose time will permit

 The railroad runnini;- from 
 (jrand Pre westward takes the 
 traveller through the Cornwallis, 
 (iaspereau and Annapolis valleys, 
 in turns. ICach is a beautiful re- 
 gion, dotted with prosperous farms, great 
 orchards and here and there delightful 
 villages, in which the summer tourist 
 will lind plain, wholesome inns and the 
 choice of many private homes, which 
 are thrown open to summer boarders. 
 Wolfville and Kentville are most desir- 
 able points at which to spend a day or a 
 
 summer. The roads round aluuit are ex- 
 cellent, and as the iH'ice of horse hire in 
 this eoiuilry, as everything else, is ex- 
 ceedingly ehea;v, it is easily possible for 
 the tourist, making these places a center, 
 to visit all the region round about, includ- 
 ing several prellv I'esorls on the I'ay of 
 Fundy shore. 
 
 Ki'iUville is a clianning litde leaf-em- 
 boweix-d and i'lm->haded village tucked 
 in between the hills. Prof. I'iiihards 
 |)aints this pretty i)en jiicture of this 
 (liiaint and quiet little town: 
 
 " The vallevs wind unexpectedlv, ami

 ' In the heart of the primeval furrst wlu-ri' tlu- ta

 set thick with willows. The brook washes 
 the dooryards. There are unexpected 
 bridges, and green shade dapples the 
 streets. ICvery turn gives a new and 
 haunting picture, and one feels as if the 
 place had been planned in a dream. The 
 air is wholesome, especi:dly kindly to the 
 weak lungs or throat. The streets, wind- 
 less though shady, are warm in

 chief ambition of the siiort-man who visits 
 Nova Scotia is to kill a moose, the male 
 of which specie s is fre(|uently ei.uht feit

 horns measuring from live to six feet from 
 tij) to tip and' as much liKht in 'I'm. 
 when wounded, as a Rocky iNbuiniain

 moose are often surprised and killed while 
 wading lu the cool waters., I inland lakes, 
 where' ihev feed on the roots and stems 
 of aciu-.ilic plants. Like the red deer, 
 the moose "vard" m winter, the "yard' 
 consisting <>f !i cedar or spruce swam]),

 tracks in their ramblinK. A yard will 
 sometimes be found by hunters conlam- 
 iiij^ forty or tiftv animals. After a Iresh 
 tall of snow, hunters on snow-shoes can 
 easily overtake the moose, whose ^\xi\\. 
 weight causes him to sink in the snow,

 invariably turn on his assailant. No 
 hunter can do better than make liis first

 'JMiere are in this ])rovinee three recog- 
 nized sportinj;- districts, of which the 
 best is })r<)bably the western, which takes 
 in all the country to the west of a line 
 drawn from Halifax to Yarmouth. Here 
 moose are reported ])lenliful anil increas- 
 in.i; in number. No one is allowed to kill 
 ni'ire tlian two moose or four caribou in 
 one season, the iienaltv for violating;' this 
 law Ijcing' from S50 to i^2in>, and is rigidlv 
 enforced. 
 
 Caribou, or American reindeer, are 
 abundant in Xova .Scotia and in j)arts of 
 Prince ICdward Island. They are not 
 ;is lar.ne as the moose, ran.ly weiRhin.i;' 
 more than foo pounds, and are a less 
 dangerous foe when wounded. They are 
 
 light-colored, 
 almost white in certain sea- 
 sons, and have broad horns 
 of the elk ])attcrn, \vith a 
 peculiar formation which fol- 
 lows the bridge of thi' nose 
 almo'-t to its tip, ))erfcctly 
 l>roiecting it from the attacks 
 of its fellows. The common 
 red deer of the .States are seklom, 
 if ever, found in Xova Scotia, 
 (lood bird shooting may be 
 obtained in almost every part of 
 Xova Scotia. Duck and snipe 
 abound, and Ivnglish jiheasants 
 that have lately been imported 
 are saiil to stand the winter well 
 and to be increasing rajiidly. In 
 many sections capital sport mav 
 be had with rulTed grouse, wood- 
 cock, sni])e, quail, ])lover, ducks : 
 and geese, are so plentiful that 
 good bags may always be 
 counted on. , , 
 
 Sportsmen, not residents 
 of Xova Scotia, must takeout 
 a license before they can en- 
 joy the excellent sport they 
 are sure to nave. 
 These cost ,$30

 The panorama of island and sea is ever

 reader will take the map, he will see that 
 two narrow estuaries, the Great and 
 Little Bras d'Or, enter the Island of 
 Cape Breton, on the ragged northeast 
 coast, above the town oi Sydney, and 
 engtli widening out and 
 occujiying the heart of the 
 sland. The water seeks 
 out all the low places, and 
 ramifies the interior, run-

 bays and lagoons, leaving 
 slender tongues of land 
 and picturesque islands, 
 and bringing into the 
 recesses of the land, to

 The Uras d'( )r Lakes connect with the 
 ocean at their eastern end throiijih two 
 lon^ arms or channels, and near the con- 
 thience of ocean and sea are located the

 About thirty miles from Sydney, 
 reaehed bv a narrow gua.ge railway, is 
 Louisburg', onee eounted among the 
 strongest fortified jilaees of the world. 
 'J"o-dav its ramparts are grass-grown

 Us capture bv the undisciplined New 
 England farmers', commanded by William 
 Pepperal, a merchant ignorant of the art 
 
 of war, is one of the most extra- 
 ordinarv events in the annals of 
 history.' The zealous i-rusadcrs 
 set forth ujion a task, of the dilli- 
 culties of which they had no con- 
 ception, and Ihev gained a triumi)h 
 whieh should niake their names 
 as immortal as thoseof the 'noble 
 six liundi-e<l.' It was a feat 
 without a parallel— a marvel 
 among the most marvellmis 
 deeds which man has dared to 
 do.
