Words Of Introduction. * * * THE OBJECT OF THIS BOOK.-This liltle guide book has been prepared for the use of visitors, and efforts have been made by the publishers to have it as accurate and complete as possible. THE INDEX.— By makinfj full use of the index, the visitor may save much time, for locations bcinf,r accurately descri' '1 in the text, it is desirable often to get at them as qu. ^'.y as possible, and this facility is afforded by the index. THE fAJkP, A map has also been provided, and refer- ences to it are made in the text while describing locations. Visitors may very quickly find a place by following these directions, p'or instance, sup|K)se the reference is Map 5, E. Find E on the right or left hand side and 5 either beneath or above, and trace lines from each inwards until they me"t. The location will be within an inch of that point at the very most, and the area of search is thus restricted. If a number appears after the letter in a reference it signifies the index number marked at the place on the map. THE NOVA SCOTIA TOURIST ASSOCIATION.— The offices of the Nova Scotia Tourist Association are at 134 Mollis Street, west side, between Sackville and Salter Streets, and near the principal hotels. (Map 5, F, i.) Here information regarding Halifax and the province of Nova Scotia will be gladly furnished to visitors on enquiry. Printed matter will also be furnished on request, giving information concerning things going on in Halifax during the week ; also, booklets and various things descriptive of places of interest in Halifax city and Nova Scotia. (3) J 5^/7 6 3 u^idxki^.^i^^ :^aumsm Where To Commence. "HE Province Building (Map 5, F, 40), bein^ central and near the hotels, is an excellent point at which to commence sight- seeing. Together with its grounds, it occupies a block bounded by Hollis and Granville, and George and Prince Streets, the site of the Government House of the early days. Its history dates back to 1819, when it was completed at a cost of over $200,000, which was con- sidered an extravagant price for any building in those ciays. It is a building of the Georgian type of architec- ture and possesses a quiet and imposing dignity. Here the provincial parliament meets yearly to discuss the affairs of tlie province. The assembly and council cham- bers are the chief points of interest in the building, particularly the latter, on account of its rich and ancient finishing and the portraits of kings, soldiers and statesmen done in oil by famous artists. (1) r'TS..*. *'tf -f\ '?7 ^^WyJzV^^ .^y^ ■r«r-^?f^-y This buildinff on several occasions has been the scene of importtnl state functions. Here the present Kin^, then Prince of Wales, was jjiven a >frHnd ball on the occasion of his visit in i860 ; and his son, the present Prince of Wal.s, received the |>eople of Nova Scotia on the occasion of his visit in October, iqoi. In the north enclosure of the Province Building jfrounils is the South Africa Monument, erected by jxjpular sub- scription to the memory of Nova Scotian sokliers who fell in South Africa durinjf the Boer war. The Provincial Museum is in a buildinjf on the opposite side of Mollis Street and on the corner of Cheap side, which the visitor will readily recojjnize as havinjf a telegraph and cable office on the ground floor. The museum is up two flijfhts of stairs and is worth a visit by the curious, for it contains specimens representative ot the productive cajiacities of the province as weM as some relics of early days. The museum is open every week day from 10 a. m. until 4 p. m. No charjje. Where one will find the Post Office (See pajfc (,), he will find the unique Open Air Market of Halifax on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Here the du- ky denizen ot Preston and the native Mic-Mac Indian take up their positions alongside their pale faced brethren and ex|)ose lor sale the products of their industry. It is considered one oi the distinctive features of Halifax and no tourist :«ver misses seeing^ it. I J Public Buildings. The Domlnio . Building occupies a block bounded by Hollis Street and Bedford Row, and Georjje Street and Cheapside, just opposite the north enclosure 01 the Province Building groimds. (Maps, F. 39)- H is a handsome structure in the Italian renaissance style with extensive porticoes, elaborate and excellent carving, and <-) •.t^?M is adorned with a statue ot Britannia. It is in this build- ing that one finds the Post Office and the Custom House. The City Bulldlnfl. on the north end of the Parade (Map s & bfp, T9) is Comparatively new, but hascons.der- :bre^a'chitect;.raTmerit. The Parade, with .ts heavy baU.;^ trade, its nice lawn and fountain, .s an art.st.c oP^"J;P^','^ in which many years ago military revanys ^'^^ h'^^'^;^^^' lies between Harrington and Argyle S reels and breaks the continuity of George. The c.ty l?ol--e court and the Citizens' Free Library are .n the c.ty bu.ldmg. A new library is soon to be b./ilt at a cost of $75.ooo, the gift ct Mr. Andrew Carnegie. Government House, on I^e*\^"t'. f'^^'^P 7^^"° " Streets. (Map 5. F, 47). is the official residence of the La u t - Governor of the province, who at present .s Hon. AG lones. In its time it was the finest residence .n al North America, being representative of the best type ot arc lecture popular in those days. It was bu.lt in 1803.

The Halifax Infirmary is an excellent K^"'^"^^ *;?'';; hospital, on Barrington Street, corner Blowers. (Map 5 F-) The Park. * 9 * POINT Pleasant Park (Map . and 2. Band C) is one o, a select number of places in Halifax that every Tourist should make sure of visiting. The most f •'^.f^;'*"';^ ^'^^^ of making a first trip through this extensive pleasure grou 1 is'ln an open barouche which will accomodate fou •persons comfortably and may be h.d fc,r an ^--^J^^)^^^ of one dollar. When one has learned its main roads much pleasure may be had by going through it awheel and still (6) '^^r,^iM^ji^sim^!^Arv more pleasure may be had by travelling its devious paths afoot. Apart from scenery, the main interest centres in the forts, of which there are three— Point Pl.'asanl, Cam- bridge, and OgiJvie. An object of particular interest is (he Martello Vower, throug-h which the visitor will be shown by the caretaker. This tower is a species of coast defence of Italian origin much used in Europe in the early part of the last century, but not much in America. Chain Rock (See Page 25, and Ma| B.) and one of the public Bathing Houses (See Page 25, and Map 2 B.) are within the hmits ot il is park. The main entrance, marked by the great gates (Map 3, D), is at the south end of Young Avenue, but em ranee may also be had by Pleasant Street which leads past Green Bank (Map 2, E'.) where open air concerts are given two evenings a week; also by Tower Road on the West. Trams marked " Richmond and I teasant St.," " Richmond and Spring Gar^len Road," and " Depot and Hotels," pass near the Park, and the con- ductor, when asked, will put passengers off at the proper place and give further directions for reaching it. (7) m^^i.'': The Public Gardens. * * * THE Public Gardens of Halifax cover 17 acres ot lanti, 1 bounded by Sackville Street and Spring Garde.. Road, and South Park and Summer Streets. (Map 5. ^)' The tourist may easily reach them by tram, for the cars marked as follows pass the most generally used entrance : .' Richmond and Pleasant Street," " Richmond and Spring Garden Road," " Coburg Road and Willow I ark, .' Quinpool Road." From most parts of the south end of ihiTcity it is only a short distance afoot. There is nothing of great historic interest in the gar- dens except, perhaps, a fountain in the norlh-wes.ern part, erected in .897, i" honor of the late Queen V.ctona s diamond jubilee. The strong claim the gardens have to the attention of every visitor is their rare beauty. It is said that, except for size, they are unrivalled on d,e continent of America ; wherefore every visitor makes .t a point to see them. Thirty years ago the ground was used by a companv for raising vegetables, but the venture not proving a su'ccess, the city happily got possess.on of .t and turned it into a public pleasure ground that with splendid taste in its platming and cultivation has become famous far and wide. A nice time to be in the gardens during t»^- summer months is on a Saturday afternoon, for then a reg.menta band is present, to hear whose music large numbers ot citizens and visitors come and lend the additional attrac- tion of animation to the place. Another occasion o.> which a visitor should not fail to be present is on one of those evenings during the summer when the garden commissioners give an open air concert and turn the place into a sort of fairyland with Chmese lanterns, colored fires and fireworks, and the mus.c sometimes of several bands. (8) SCENES !N THF PORLIC GARDENS The Harbor, Arm and Basin. 9 9* •• Halifax Harbor, formerly called Chebucto Bay, ex- tends sixteen miles in from the sea," says j hnson s Encyclopajdia ; " it is one of the finest harbors in the world, is easy of access, and is admirably sheltered. The water is so deep that the largest ships can lie within a few feet of the shore, and the rise and fall of the tide are slight. " nacNab's island lies directly across the harbor proper separating it from the ocean and thus providing a perfect shelter for shipping in a body of water which in some parts is a mile and a quarter in width. Northwards, the shores gradually approach until they come within a quarter of a mile of one another, at a place known as "the Narrows," after which, broadening out again, they encircle a broad, extensive and beautiful sheet of water known as Bedford Basin. It is the North West Arm, running off from the harbor at Point Pleasant, and extend- ing nearly three miles in a north-westerly direction, until it reaches a point half a mile from Bedford Basin, that makes the site of Halifax a peninsula. These three bodies of water -the harbor with its water front, its shipping and complement of men-of-war, sometimes representing many besides the British nation ; the Basin, with its miles of wooded shores and pretty suburbs nestling close to the water's edge ; the Arm with its rare natural beauty, and its residential properties on either side, suggestive of happy, comfortable home life, form a large part of the glory of " the garrison city." The best view of the three can be had from the decks of an excursion steamer, and the tourist should not miss the trip that can be had any fine afternoon. Information regarding steamers, the wharves from which they depart, and the routes they take can be had by application at the Tourist Association Office. (See page 3). The fare is 50 cents. (10) ^^^" \^^(^S Sr^:*^1 Good Points Of View. 9 ¥ ^ The Citadel (See page 12 and Map 6, E.) is the most commanding: point in Halifax. From the ramparts and the path encircling the whole fortification one may see the city lying at his feet in all directions. The view on a fine clear day extends many miles out to sea and embraces a great wealth of land and sea scape. Fort Needham (Map 10, F.), an abandoned fortifica- tion, remains of whose earth works are still to be seen, occupies high ground in the north end of the city. The site is open and wild to-day, but comman.ls a beautiful view of the northern part of the harbor and Medford Basin. To reach it, see page 30, "second day.' Point Pleasant, at the point where t le North West Arm joins the harbor, has a splendid outlook towards the sea, and there are many other places in the park that afford excellent views. From Green Bank at the entrance by I'leasant Street one may have a fine view of the harbor mouth and lower part of the harbor proper. York Redoubt. To reach this place, see page 15, " Skventh." The view is charming. Here the breakers pound oi\ the rocky shore and one may look out on the broad ocean in one direction and up one of the finest harbors in the world in the other. Dartmouth Park probably affords one of the best views of the harbor to be had. Another beautiful view is to be had from Prince Arthur Park in Dartmouth. The Dingle. From the elevation at the Dingle (See page 15, "FIFTH") is to be had a very enchanting view of the North West Arm, the western slope of the peninsula, Bedford Basin in the distance, and the wooded country to the west. To reach it, see page 15 ; or cross Arm by South Street ferry (Map 5 & 6, B), and ask boatman to give direction. (•I) ^^&-:i^ The Army, Navy and Militia. * * ♦ IIALIFAX is the chief British military and naval station ^ in North America, and a large part of the interest of the city to most visitors is reposed in the various evidences of Britain's might here displayed. The city is also the headquarters of the ninth division of the Dominion militia. The garrison at present is composed of a regiment of in- fantry, quartered at Wellington Barracks, (Map g, F.), and various companies of Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers ; also the different departments necessary to carry along the army's work in a garrison town, such as pay, service and medical corps, etc. The army affairs are controlled at the headquarters office. Pleasant Street, foot of Spring Garden Road. (Map 5, F). The general officer com- manding on this station is Major-General Sir Charles Parsons, whose residence is Bellevue (Map 5, E.) His Majesty's Navy in North American waters is repre- sented at Halifax every summer by several fine warships, which lie at anchor off the Dockyard, (Map 7 & 8, G.) and may be visited by strangers who will be treated on board with (he greatest courtesy. (Page 30, " FOiRTH day). "— Vice-Admiral Douglas is in command of the North Ameri- can squadron, his flagship is H. M. S. Ariadne, and his Halifax residence is at Admiralty House, Gottingen Street. (Map 8, F). There are three well equipped militia regiments in Halifax, which have fine quarters at the Armouries, corner Cunard and North Park Streets. The Armouries is a handsome building of red sandstone, and being opposite the common (Map 7, E.), where the military reviews are held, is well situated. Visitors may learn at the Tourist Association's c"^ce when the various regiments march out, and may see them parade by taking car marked *' Quin- pool Road " or " Coburg Road and Willow Park " and getting off at Armouries. FORTIFICATIONS.— Halifax is very strongly fortified. The central and most interesting to visitors, and in fact the only one visitors are allowed to enter, is the Citadel (Map 6, E.), which rises high above the town. Visitors must inscribe their names in a book in the guiird room. This fortification, known as Fort George, was built under the supervision of the late Queen Victoria's father, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent. A soldier is detailed to show visitors about the ramparts and various parts of interest, who makes no charge, but will not object to a gratuity. (12) Fort Charlotte occupies Geor^res Island. On the oppo- site side of the harbor is Fort Clarence. In the park are several forts (Map i & 2, B & C.)-FortsOgllvle, Cambridge and Point Pleasant ( Map i , C. & D. ), all modern and stron tf- ly armed. MacNab's Island has two forts, viz., Ive's Point and ^1acNab, both modern and well equipped. York Redoubt, which occupies the crest of a hiph bluff on the western side of the harbor entrance, is one of the strongest fortifications in Halifax. 1--ARMOURIES. 2--BROADSIDE OF WARSHIP. 3--CITADEL ENTRANCE THE DOCKYARD — The dockyard is the principal imperial property in Halifax devoted to the purposes of the navy. The entrance is far north on Upper Water Street, and is best reached by taking a tram marked " Richmond," going north. Descend at Artz Lane. In various parts of the dockyard are relics of great interest : a sun-dial, bearing date of 1809 ; a large coat of arms, bearing the date of 1759; a clock tower dating back to 177". a'i(i another to 1769. Here also the spot is marked where King Edward VII landed, as Prince of Wales, on July 30, i860. (Map 7 & 8, G). (13) ^u^r'; Around The Environs, Driving and Afoot. * * # 'T'HE most enjoyable and satisfactory way o. secinjj^ Halifax and its environs, particularly if one is in a hurry, is to drive. If one has some time at his disposal he should not fail to take some lon]^ walks. Sujfgestions for both drives and walks are set forth in this page. See page 3' regarding- cab fares. First. — Drive south along Pleasant Street and enter Point Pleasant Park (See page 6) by Green Bank. On the way the driver will point out many buildings and places of interest mentioned in this booklet. In the park take note of the fortifications (See page 13), iMartello tower, the precipice, the serpentine road, chain rock, the seven bunkers, and the bathing house. Leaving the park by the great gates, presented by the late Sir William Youn(„ drive north along Young Avenue and South Park Street to the gardens (See page 8). Having seen the gardens, drive on to the citadel, and driving round the roadway outside the ramparts and seeing the town lying in all directions, also the harbor, leave the carriage and wait to inspect the citadel. (See page i^)- Second. — Drive via Common and Quinpool Road (Map 7 and 8) to head of North West Arm, thence through Dutch Village to Fairview, thence through the suburban places mentioned on page 22 to Bedford. Return may be made on Dartmouth side, in which case team will have to cross the ferry. The return may also be made by retrac- ing the route to Bedford as far as Fairview, thence to drive into the city by the shore road through Africville (Map 12, E and F), a settlement inhabited by colored people. Both ways of return are very beautiful, affording magnificent views of Bedford Basin. Third.— Drive to Bedford, following a different route during the first part of the journey, this time selecting Windsor Street and the road passing the exhibition grounds (Map 9, E) and P'airview and St. John's ceme- teries, until the Bedford road is joined at F"airview. Thence to Bedford and from Bedford drive to Waverlev. (See page 22). From Waveriey into Dartmouth is a remarkably pleasant drive of ten miles, past lakes and (•4) through prettily wooded country. It the approach to Dartmouth be made during the early evening, so much the better, for the lakes, then placid and covered with pleasure boats, will look their best, and the cool salt air from the ocean will be a grateful change if the day has been warm. Fourth — Drive from Dartmouth (See page 21) to Cow Bay. This drive also is a pretty one and terminates at a place where splendid surf bathing may be had. (See page 22). On the road Eastern Passage, through which the Tallahassee, a ship belonging to the Confederates, made her historic escape from the watching ships of the North during the American civil war, may be seen, and also Lawlor's Island, where the quarantine station for the port is located. The village of Eastern Passage is a picturesque collection of fishermen's homes. Fifth. — It is a b lutiful wooded spot that lies in the lulls beyond the North West Arm. Go by way of Quin- pool Road and journeying the road that leads down the western side of the Arm, note Melville Island and its military prison. Then mounting to the top of the hill entrance may be had to the Dingle property. (See page 11). There leave the carnage for a few minutes and ascend the Dingle elevation. Returning to the carriage, drive to Long Lake, then to the Rocking Stone, and go out the St. Margarets Ray road as far as Chain Lakes before returning to the city. Long Lake and Chain Lakes supply Halifax with water. Let the return be by Chebucto road. Sixth. — An interesting excursion on foot is to the Rocking Stone, " a freak of nature " that rocks with the application of a lever. At one time the stone would respond to a slight touch, but its base has become worn with use. Take the ferry across the Arm at the west end of South Street (Map 5 or 6, B) and having landed on the western shore, climb the hill through Jollimore settlement and work your way out back to the Herring Cove road, leaving which after a time your path lies through one of the prettiest of woodland rambles. The way is rather difiicult to find without a guide. Seventh.-The road to York Redoubt is not so diffi- cult. Cross by ferry from Point Pleasant to Purcells Cove (Map i, C), thence following the road you come out on Falkland Village, and then climb a steep road to the church. It is only a short distance thence to the fort, but admission can only be had by special permission. (See page 11). (•5) fS^H^M' ^i^\i>A.

It is the luailiiuarters of the provincial educational system ; it has splendid public schools, a manual training' school, industrial schools for refractorv boys, », well eipiipped business collejfe, schools •or those afflicted with loss of si>,ht and speech, a medical coIU-kc, two theolojfical schools, an art school, a ladies' collcKe. two conservatories of music, se%eral convents, and a university for higher education. Halhousie University has several faculties, emhracinjf arts, science, law, medicine and technology. It has in afHIialion with it the Halifax Medical Colle^fe. The academic or teaching' and examininjf staff numbers over forty names, and the attendance of students is larjfe. l>alhousie was founded in i8.'i by the Karl of Dalhousie, and the original endowment was derived from funds col- l.'cted at the port of fastine, in Maine, during' its occupa- lion by the British in 18,4. The college building faces the south tiid of Carleton Street. (Map 5, IX) Pine ilill College is the theolojjical school of the Pres- byterian I iinrch. and has a beautiful situation on Francklyn Street, overlooking,' the North West Arm. (Map 3, C.)

On Saturdays ihe oMiiitiK^ papors publish a full ihurch profframnu- for the (tillowinjir Sunday. Of all the churches, that which affords the first interest to visitors is Oarrison Chapel, to whit h, at 1 1 o'clock on Sunday mornin^fs the troops parade for worship. Visitors always make it a point to he on hand before the hour, in order that they may see the red coats and after- wards avail themselves of the privilefje of cnterinf^ the church when the soldiers have taken their seats. Take tram marked " (Juu., o\ Road ■ or " Cobur),' Road and Willow Park," which passes ri^lit by. Situation, corner Brunswick and Co)fswell Streets. (Map 6, F, 2^^. St. Paul's Church, (Church of Kn^'land), was erected in 1750, and has since been enlar),'ed, but the orij^inal building forms the main part of the present one. It is the oldest church in the city. Situation, opposite south end of Parade (Map 5, F, 18). St. Matthew's (IVesbyterian) opposite St. Pauls Cemetery on RarrinKlon Street. (Map 5, F, 8), is the place of worship of the oldest dissentinj,' conKregation in Halifax. Its first pastor was Rev. Aaron Cleveland, an ancestor of ex-president Cleveland of the I'niled States. The Dutch Church, no lon^jer used for worship, was built 111 1755 for Lutherans. Except for the steeple, added in 1760, It is just as when built. Situation, Corner Bruns- wick and Gerrish Streets, (Map 7, F, 29). It is a very quaint and interesting place. St. aeorxe's or the Round Church, (Church of fc.i)^land), attracts visitors on account of its unusual shape. It IS circular in form and was built in the early years of the last century. Situation, corner Rrunswick and Corn- walhs Streets. (Map 7, F, 48). St. Mary's Cathedral, (Roman Catholic), is the seat of the Archbishop of Halifax.

Fare, 5 cents each way. Dartmouth was founded in 1750, the year following: the founding- of Halifax, and its early inhabitants suffered nuich at the hands of Indians. A point of groat interest is the old Shubenacadie canal, which v\as built at g'reat expense to connect the Ray of Fundy with the Atlantic, but was a financial faiivre and subsequently abandoned. Remains of the old locks and other works may be seen at various points. Dartmouth Park is a very aUractive place and alTords an excellent view, as also does Prince Arthur Park. (See page 11). One of the best features of the place is tlie beautiful chain of lakes, which commences in the town and extends back into the cotmtry many miles and which formed so many links in the unfortunate canal referred to above. Camp- ing parties make use of the shores and islands of the first and second lakes and dming the summer months form themselves into a miniature town, which they call Twin Oaks, electing- a mayor and other responsible ofiijials. X'isitors chancing to g^et an introduction to any of the campers out may be sure of cordial treatment. Mount Hope Hospital for the insane, or, as it is ofiicially called, the Xova Scotia Hospital, is in Dartmouth, and has one of the most beautiful situations in the whole province. Lawrencetown is about 14 miles from Dartmouth, and is noted for its very fine beach and surf bathing. The hotels are good. It may be reached by coach ; otherwise a carriage must be specially hired to make the trip. Good fishing and hunting- in season. Cole Harbor is also a good resort for these purposes. Cow Bay is about 10 miles from Dartmouth. Its great .illractions are the sand beach and splendid bathing (^0 opportunities. The surf is not too stronjj ..d the tem- perature of the water is always very mild during warm weather. Two interesting places to the eastward of Dartmouth are Chezzetcook and Preston. The former is the home of French people who retain the speech and customs of the.r Acadian ancestors to a very large extent. Preston IS the home of rr.any of the colored people who sell wares Ml the Halifax open air market on Saturday mornings. 1 he place was once a fashionable military suburb. Rockingham and all the suburban places on Bedford Basm are very beautiful and have excellent bathing and boa ,.,g fac.hties. From F^n'rvlew to Bedford are s?ve,al well appomted hotels where one mav find exc^eUent accommodation during the summer months. Rockinirham js the seat ot the Convent of Mount St. Vincentran excel- lent Cathohc school for girls.

Bedford is at the head^of t",e Bas'n and .s a delightful suburb where many Halifax people tiJe m summer t.me. These places are reached either' by rail or carnage (See page ,4). The rail approach to Halifax skirts the shores of Bedford Basin. .0 that travellers tha^ way are at^jrded a most enchanting view.

How Best To Spend Evenings. * * ^ pEOPLE who care to spend evenings indoors will find on occasion somcthinjf to interest them in Halifax theatres and music halls. The Academy of Music, on Pleasant Street, foot of Sprinj,^ Garden Road (Map 5, F, g), .s a very comfortable theatre. The Empire, on' Tower Road, opposite Victoria Park, (Map 5, E, 4s). makes a specialty of summer attractions. Orpheus Hall, on Gran- ville Street, (Map 5, F, 46), is sometimes eng-aged for entertainments of various sorts. None of these places are open every evening dnriuK Hie summer, but when open, Ihe fact is fully advertised. Many pleasant evenings may be spent by the tourist out of doors. On two evenings each week open air band concerts are given at Green Hank (Map 2, E). A special tram marked " Academy and Point Pleasant ' runs between the Academy of Music and Green Hank on concert evenings. A pleasant way to enjov these con- coris is to hire a boat and tloal lazily off shore while the concert is in progress. Hoaling on (he Xorth West Arm "s a favi>rite way of spending an evening, particularly when there is a band coiuerl at the North West Arm boat house. These concerts may also be enjoyed on excursion steamers, which cany passengers from advertised places to the Arm and back again for J5 to 50 cents. Hoaling on Iho Hartmouth lakes is also a pleasant way of spending an evening. See page 2, regarding Harlmouth and way of getting there. When the warships are in port, the harbor in the vicinity of the do kyard is always dolled, during fine evenings, with pleasure boats whose occupants enjov the music of the fiagship's band, \isitors desirous of engag- ing a boat lor use on Harbor, Arm or Dartmouth Lakes may obtain mtormation on applii-ation at tourist otfice. (Page .^). Anevenii.gconcert in the P>,b!ie G. = dens should not be missed. When there is one, the fact is well advertised. (-'4) ^k.l>4J5^'l:^!JSW^JHI^^ Various Places Of Interest. * * * The Halifax Dry Dock is tlie larjfosi on tho contiiicm of North America, beinjj^ 600 feet loiij^ by 8y '2 ft'i't wide. Steamers frequently underfjo repairs here and it is an interesting^ thinjf for visitors to see tlie dock at such times. Take tram marked " Richmond and Pleasant Stieet " or " Riciimond and Spring Clarden Road," going north. For location, see Map 9, G. The Common and Camp Hill lie west of the citadel. Both are used for review purposes by the militar}', but the former is also used by the public for pleasure purposes. It is the play grouiid of the people and groups may be seen there at any time enjoying v;irious out door games. The roads leading across the Common are lined with beautiful trees. Bathing Facilities in Halifax are good. Theri> .ire two public bathing houses, one in Point Pleasant Park (Map 2, H) and the other in the north end of the city, m-ar the dry dock (Map g, G). These may be utilized at any tnne during the day, but only by ladies and children between the hours of 10 a. ri. and 1 p. m. At Green Hank (Map 2, E) there is a place for bathing, and near Chain Rock (Map 2, B) another, but th se being unsheltered may be used only by men and not after 8 a. m. Chain Rock, in Point I'leasant Park, is interesting on accoimt of its historic associations. In the city's early- days, when there was fear of French invasion, tiie military authorities laid a chain cable across the Arm to i^revent French ships from sailing up, anchoring its ends in solii.1 rock. The place is marked on the map in 2, H. The low mounds nt the point where descent to the shore is made are tne remains of an old fort and are called the Seven Bunkers. Exhibition. The annual provincial exiiibilion is held in Halifax every fall, and is very interesting as showing the art and industry of the province. The grounds are at Willow Park (Map 9, D and E) Trams marked " Ouin- pool Road ■" or ** Coburg Road and Willow Park pass near. (^5) i \imB^;imtMi:i Fishing Grounds Near Halifax. _^ * * * yHE country in the vicinity of Halifax is covered with lakes in all of which are trout and ether fisii in abundance. Even although they have been fished for many years, there is not a lake commonly visited that will not yield a j-ood fare, and the farther one can tret i„to the 1. ick country the belter will be his luck both in size and number ot fish. The pursuit of this sport is < ery cheap Most of the popular piaces can be reacheil by coach at small cost. If a team is hired the charge for a sintric day IS about $3.00, with better rales for a longer time. Where there are no rej,'ular hotels, one can always find accommo- dation in farm houses at a very reasonable fijruiv ; for instance, meals 25 cents, or about $1.00 per day, if stayinir over night . For $ 1 .50 to $j.oo a day one may" hire a boat with man to row it and have his horse boarded. Both bait and fly are used by anj,'lers here, but while bait seems to K>ve j,'ood results in the earlier part of the sea- son, during June and thereafter until the season is ended anglers usually make more use of fly. What success he will have depends largely upon an anglers skill, but in the lakes that have been well fished two I'.ozen to u hundred hsli are a common reward of a couple of days angline while in more out of the way places much larger fares are the rule. To give an idea of the number of places at ones disposal. It IS only necessary to state that on both sides of the St. Margaret's Bay road between Halifax and Hub- bard s Cove, there are lakes all the way, in which trout abound, and there are many places besides to the west- ward where good fishing may be had, as Ketch Harbor, Sambro, Prospect, Herring Cove, etc. Grand Lake, 20 miles out of Halifax on the line of railway, is particularly good for grayling, trout, etc. ; return fare about $1.00. An excellent Indian guide is available there. Eastwards the best places are Lawren.etown, Cole Harbor, Porter's Lake, Chezzetcook, Jeddore, Petpeswick Harbor, Mus- quodoboil Harbor, Tangier River, Spry Bay. Mushaboon l.ake, Sheet Harbor lakes and river, Salmon River and yuoddy. At Petpeswick and Musquodoboit there is splendid sea trout fishing ; also at (Jut 'dy. There is F.ood salmon fishing as well at C}uoddy and at East and West rivers. Sheet Harbor. The lakes being connected by brooks and rivers, waders can find splendid pool fishing (herein. Easiern points can be reached by coach and in some ca s^by steamer, and the extreme eastern points by rai. to Shubenacadie, thence by coach down the Musquo- doboit valley to the shore. Out Door Life. ¥ * ¥ A STRONG feature of Halifax is its out door life. Yachting.— Every Saiurday afternoon a yacht race is held under the auspices of the Nova Scotia Royal Vacht Club. The Squadron is on Pleasant Street, near Point I'ieasant Park (Map 3, E). Races may be seen to ^L^od advantage from Green Hank (Map 2, E). The yacht club YACHTING AND REGATTA SCENKS. is a great social institution. The band from the tlagship frequently plays at the Squadron on Saturdav afternoons. Boating. — Tiie Lome Club has long encouraged the pleasure of boating and has a large dnb house and shed at Richmond (Map 9, C). The strong attraction fo-- boating in that part of the ci'y is the presence of the war- (-7) •^daik£^i£itwiLL^ki^i!s;a^ -hips. The North West Arm Rowing Club (Map 6, B) has no place could be more uleal for boating.
