One of the finest bicycle trips is along the .St. John river. Starting at St. John the road and river run side l)y side for some 250 miles. 'I'his body of water begins in Maini' and fed by numerous streams assumes enormous proportions befoie it reaches an outlet into the harbour of St. John, through a narrow rocky gorge ncjt more than 150 yards wide. One of the peculiar features about this outlet is, that the water runs l)oth ways, that is, at low tide the river emj)ties into the harhcjur and at high tide the harbour runs into the river, backing it up f(jr twenty miles and more. The tide in the lie Alaritiiiu' :1 not exceed always co<;l. mate. Wry ng lakes and -'s a tourists" harltnur rises and falls 15 to 20 feci. Ail along our highways good drinking water is pluntiful. 'I'he roads lu.-ing of n gra\ell\' nature afford easy riding, hills not trouldesoiut-, and stopping placrs evtr> few miles. St. John to Moncton, through the Kennel )e(:asis X'alk)-, is anolhcr nice trip 'i'hcn again there is a triji u[) the North Shori' to I'lathurst and along the i!a\ ( 'haKur to ( 'am[)l)ellton and Metapedia, where the ffimous salmon fishing pools on ihr Krstigouclu' river are situated.

'I'he land of I'^vangeline has been immortalized b) 1-ongfellow. It presents man) features to tourists. Halifax, its capital, is one of the strongest fortified cities in ('anada. It is naval head- ijuarters for England. Like its sister province, New Brunswick, it abounds with lakes and streams teeming with "speckled beauties." The roads are good with the exception of a part of the Annapolis N'alley, where sand is the rule. \'armouth is the most convenient starting point, from which there are two routes to Halifax. An S I extended tour would be from Yarmouth to Halifax via the South Shore route, returning by the \'alley route to Kentville, take train to I )igl)y, crossing Bay of Fundy to St. John, thence uj) the St. John river. Another way is to wheel from Yarmouth to Annapolis, train to Kentville, wheel to Windsor, train to Halifax, train to Amiierst then wheel to St. John. Wheelmen who have visited Cape Breton do not speak very highly of the roads for cycling. PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. This province has been styled the "darden of the (iulf." Its delightful climate and charming scenery are very inviting. The soil is of a sandy nature, not altogether to the cyclists liking. It is reached by steamer from I'ictou, N. S. and Pt. l)u Chene, N. B. (one mile from Shediac). 'I'he rules of the road are : — -Meet to the left, pass to the right. July, August and September are the nicest months. If in the latter month a light overcoat will feel good in the evenings. Don't feel annoyed if you are asked to show your C. W. A. ticket at official hotels. Our agree- ment with hotel proprietors is very binding in this respect. The firms advertising in this book are the leaders in their respective lines.
