Tht fragrant cool r, ess that invades the bed chandlers of the land induce shnnber and the sultry heat that results in restless nights is unknown. There are various things that su])])ly the reason for this blessing of coolness. The northerly location of the country and the ])roximily of Ihe gulf stream account in part for this climatic condition. But there is another reason arising from the irregular geographical formation of the provinces. The American coast from I'Morida to Maine ]>resents a Ijold, unbroken front to leather .Mlantic. When the old sea god .sought to break through the sturdy opjiosing ranks he was repulsed. Hut when the boundary line was pas-sed he found a weak point in the defense and the .sea king cut great gaps in the ranks of his foe. Broad bays and basins eat their way into the country and divide it into narrow strips of laiuf with shores wa.shed and cooled by the Atlantic waters. Kvery town of imjiortance is on the sea-board where the ii-.fluence of t!;- tempering waters and the breeze are felt. The Bay of Fundy, the chiefofthe.se indentations, i:> a funnel-shaped arm of the .sea and at its head is separated from the waters of the gulf t)f St. Lawrence by a narrow isthmus. DilTerenccs of temperature on the two bodies of water create currents of air that blow across Chignecto from Tidnish to Tantramar. .Ml summer long the breezes are in motion and the air seems like the fabled shades, full of trouble and never at rest. Here is the rendezvous of the winds aiul the places that border on the bay, St. John, Annapolis and others, feel their light touch as they pass crowding up the funnel to meet at the bead.

It is the purjiose of the writer in the succeeding jiages to guide his ider in imaginatiou to this fair city, show him its many beauties and its iKJvel sights and discourse to lum of its rich histoiic and romantic as,sociatiou,s. There are two or three routes of travel lo St. John from Hoston. but the .shortest, the most iilea.s.int and the most desirable in e\ery way is the direct route by the steamers of llie Inlernalional Line.

Sports of some kind are going on all the time during the summer, — horse racing at the driving park, games at the athletic grounds, yachting and canoeing, and the other various forms. The finely built streets and the comfortable and complete electric car service are a satisfaction to those who dwell in cities and the Rostonian and New Yorker can feel that they are not without their city comforts. There is much to stu.iy and to learn at St. John. Rut here there is a chance for a digression. Reference was made to the geographical formation of the Maritime rrovincL's. I,et the reader look at the maj) of North .America. There he will find these provinces jutting out from the rest of the continent and giving an impression of separateness. It is a little corner of the vast country detached from the rest and with an individuality all its own. There are peculiarities of climate, phy.sical condition, people and history that in their novelty will enliven the interest of the most disinterested and to the student will be a .source of delight. Here are "all .sorts and conditions of men " from the hardv (iael in the uttermost tip of Cape Breton to the sjirightly French-.Xcadian in the northern bounds of New Brunswick. In St. John is found a truly .\merican city, .\merican in its habits and modes of thinking but thoroughly Canadian in its i)atriotisin. Halifax on the other hand is the most ICnglish city on the continent and a jjaradise for the .Vnglomainac.

And then conies a mixed route by the steamers of the Yarmouth and Way of Fundy steamship companies and the Dominion .\tlantic railway. Hut the International line offer the best inducements, This is the shortest and most direct route, there is not the inc.m '.'nience of changing from stea'iier to car and vice versa, their accoimnodatio;is are excellent and ani])le and there is tue sujirrb scenery to be seen a the mouth of the Hay of I'^undy. .Vnold and well eslahlished Ihic is that of the Interii.'.iiMnal Steam Ship Company and the service which they ])rovide for their patrons is unsurpassed. They have three large steamers on the route, the "vState of Maine" and "Cumherlf.nd," of about i,(xH) tons burden each, and the ".New Hrunswick," of aoout r.ixx) tons. They are side wheel steamers, full in the beam and steady on the waves and have am])le accommodation for carrying hundreds of ti.-.vcllers. The appointments of the steamers arc luxurious, the sc.loons au't cabins handsomely furnished, the statenionis large and airy, t' ■• cuisine the best that caterer's art can furnish. The stalV of employes of the line is large and comiiletc and the com))any's undeviating rule is to demand of their oHicers the strictest courtesy and attention to the desires of travellers During till tourist months, from July to September, these sti.imers make four trij)s a week frt)m Hoston and two from I'orlland. Returning six trips ari' made from St. John. During these mniiths the east-bound boats do not call at Portland as they do during the greater portion of the year. The distaiu:e to St, John, via Portland and Ivaslport, is ,^,s.S miles anle in telling them of their own land that they know and love so well for its present worth and its historic associations.

The peculiar conformation of the rocks here in many places is suggested by the names that they bear, the Southern Cross, Bishoj) Rock, Swallow Tail Head, &c. Here Glooscap the mighty warrior of the Micmacs accomplished many great feats in his conflicts with the evil magician and the Devil's Pa.ssage was scooped out in one of his displays 01 prowess. St. Ajidrews, four miles away, is reached from Eastport by steamer passing between the islands of the Passamaquoddy and past the numerous Indian settlements. Here there is another big hotel, the Algonquin, beautiful and magnificent in architecture, and splendidly equipped for the cojnfort and delectation of tourists. The travel- ler would fain tarry for awhile but let us on in our tour of imagination. I'p the historic St. Croix, one time a scene of suffering when Li Monts spent his first terrible winter in Acadia, the little Ro.se Standi.sh steams and reaches the thriving, bustling, progressive towns of Calais and St. Stephen, the centre of the scenic beauty of Charlotte County. But to return to tlie main trip I Leaving Kastport behind the steamer passes up the bay and the first promise of picturesqueness that was given in I'assatjuoddy Hay is fulfilled in the later scenes that pass in procession across the northern skies. I-'irst the Wolves, fierce and eager, chase one another across the horizon ; then Point Le])reaux, its sharp rock cleaving the bay seems to approach the steamer ; then cliffs of trap, basalt and jiorphyry succeed, broken here and there by little bays. Perhaj)s there may be a slight haze on the water which gives a dimness and mystery to the shore line and fan- tastic shapes to the rocks and the evergreen growth uj)ou them. Mace's Bay, Dipjjer Harbor, Musquash Harbor and the uneuphonious Pisarincc succeed one another in raj)id succession and the islands that iiulicate the ap])roar'.; to St. John at length appear. First there is Taylor's Lsland hiding the marshes of Manawagonish. Then come Thrum Cap Rock and Mahogany Islaiul, i^-ith its sandy beach aiul slojjing meadows, the resort of bathers and picnic parties and all who onjoy a sail on the little steamer that plies between it and the city. Guarding the 'larbor mouth is Partridge Island with its lighthou.se, its fog whistle and its quarantine station. The first steam fog whistle ever established was placed here and from the lugul)rious sound it gives its antiquity would be sur- mised. Rounding the island the journey's end is reached and the fair harbor of St. John, rinnned by its fairer city, is re- SifiBI Muil WHERE BREEZES BLOW. vealed. On St. John's da}' three centuries ago, in 1604, De Monts and his party saw the place and just as it pleased their eye, then, so it has been a satisfaction to every one since to look upon the scene. The picture is an hannonious and sjMnnietrical one. The oblong harbor lies just in front, bounded to the watei 's edj^e on every si(ie by the habitations of the city. On the ri ht side is the city ])roper built on its rocky jjcninsula, a nia.ss of substantial stone and brick with high church towers and factory chinnieys risir.g iiere and there. In rear on the crest of Fort Howe and Mount Pleasant are the residences of the North End. On the left and western side of the harbor arc the homes of Carleton with the ancient round tower standing (Hit boldly from the height above and the ma.ssive brick grain elevator rising high into the air at the water's edge and dwarfing the other tniildings around. On every side the harbor is lined with broad wharf areas flanked by great ware- houses and factoric-, the liusy hive of the city where the brawny men, the great drays, and tlie almost hunuiii mechanical contrivances are busy. In the harbor there is a regidar forest of .shipping. In the centre !ie great ocean tramps loading lumber from scows at their sides, and manned by men of all countries. Lying beside the wharves are steamers, .ships and barks, while in the .slips lie do/ens of little coasting schooners. To and (ro ever moving and kee])ing everything else on the movio ply the active little lugs. In the rear of the harlior is Navy Island, a l)are low jjiece of grey mud and if it is low tide the fish wiers that surround it with their gauzy ajjpearance look novel and the arti.st is sure to get out his .sketchbook and catch a suggestion from the sight. On the east side of the peiunsula is Courtenay Hay, while .shooting out obliquely from it extends the shore to Red Head and Cape .Sjiencer. PVom Carleton toward Partridge Island extends the Negrotown Point breakwater, while beyt)nd it are the favorite l)athiug beaches of the Bay .Shore and Duck Cove. Hut now the steamer is nearly at her wharf, the Ileaeon rising from the waves is passed and Reed's Point is attained. It is now the time when the afternoon ends and the evening begins and there are many, their work being through, down to see the boat arrive ami to welcome those on lioarvl. Most demonstrative in their welcome perhai)S are the coachmen, in this respect being not unlike those of other lities. Soon the traveller is whirled to his hotel and he proceeds to make plans for Seeing the city and its environs, congratulating hii:iself that he has come to such a jjleasant appearing and comfort- able feeling city, and that he chose the Bay of I'uiidy route with its beautiful scenerj' and splendid steamers to arrive there. their eye, mnetrical , On the jwers ami ces of the staiidiii}^ edge and reat ware- lechanical ps loading shi])s and g else on it is low clchbook jhHqnely egrotown attained. down to cliinen, in lako ])lans conifort- •ive there. CHKPTER 11. A CITY SET ON HILLS. NTHRONED upon its foundation of solid rock St. John comiiiands the proud ijosition of warder to a noble river. Whatever of influence and prosjjerity has come to the city has been brought down on the river's llowing current. Toward New llnniswick's great artery the trend of life and trade has turned and thence down its length to the city at the nioutli. The currents thus established have ])roduced counter currents seeking St. John as their connnoii centre and bringing trade to its wharves and warehouses. The city's chief coniiuercial importance is as a lumbering centre, and it ainuially sends away va,st quantities of the products of the forest that border the river. Each spring the waters bring down on their Ikisoui their treasure of logs and the busy whirr of life is heard in the dozen H'tle milling villages that snrrt)und the city. There was a time too when St. John was encompasstd with shipyards and the air resounded with the stroke of tlie hammer and mallet. Among the busy cities of the world she stood in the van and won the proud distinction of being the fourth city in the liritish Empire in the registry of her tontuige. Hut time and change have wrought a revolution in atTairs and her shijjs which once were .seen in every port have now man}- of them disa])]H'ared. The ship yards are rei)laced by factory chimneys for the " wooden walls" are no longer built about St. John and capital has had to seek other investment. Other forms of manufacture li.ive arisen, she is re])lacing the tools )f a worker ill wood for those of a worker in iron, and thus adjusting herself to changing circumstances. A case in point, large .smelting works are shortly to be established in the city, and the natur il facilities which vSt. John po.ssesses as an iron working centre are thus to be made use of on a more exten.sive scale than heretofore. The site of these proposed works is on historic ground, the site of Eort I, a Tour, the spot where the history of the jilace began. Wita its handsome buildings ai d noble .streets St. John presents a substantial appearance. It is a city built on hills. It has not the seven hills of Rome, but they are almost that number. The maiu portion of the city is built upon a 30 VVHERR BRKEZES BLOW. I li I' rock peninsula lying between the harbor on one side and Courlen-iy Ha}- on the other. In the centre it rises into an emin- ence that slo])es on three sides to the water and in the rear to the Valley. From the Valley rise abruptly the heights of Mount Pleasant and l'"()rt Howe, and to the westward of these is the Head of Portland. Then on the o])posite side of the harbor from the city projier and in rear of Carleton rise Lancaster Heights. The pleasant diversity of hill and valley render the city aaractive and charming views are innnmeralde. .But the builders of the city would probably have been willing to give u]) the beauty to save their pockets. It cost much to build St. John for it was hewn out of the living rock. There are streets where the rocks ri.se high on either side giving them the appearance of mountain ]iasses in miniature, .\g.iin streets climb in spiral ])rogress the limestone cliffs where once there were oidy narrow paths and from the boidevards of ^Mounl Plea.sant and P'orl Howe the sightseer overlooks the housetops rising immediately below. The rocks have had to give way before the hand of man ;ind so has tlie water domain, and in a part of the " Valley" wliere once the harbor flowed, the C. P. R. has its .Atlantic terminus, the ternnnus by the way of the only trans-continental line in America. The athletic grace and healthy vigor of St. John's fair daughters has been charged to the fact that there is not a level street in St. John. Perhajjs this is the .scurce of the grace which visitors so nuich admire. .\nd then there is the my.stery of their clear comi)lexions, and to the occasional (og which St. John has this is ])rol)ably due. .And now that the fog question is up, it nnist be admitted that St. John has fog. There is not enough though to cause discomfort but rather on the other hand it nuni.sters to health and jjleasure by cooling the air, cleaning it of all iminirity ami remlering it whole- some and free from contagion. A couple of decades ago when a St. John nuin said " In the Heginning " he referred to the year [7X3, when under strange circumstances the city was f(mnded. Hut in 1S77 occurred the " Cre.it I'ire" and a new date arose from which to reckon time. lughteen years ago on the iSth day of June the city was swejit \>y a terrible conflagration aiul a full third of the fiiir metro])olis was rendered desolate. Twenty -.seven uuUion dollars worth ofpropertv was destroyed and thirteen thousand people were rendered homeless. But out of the ashes a fairer and nobler city has arisen and the wooden .struc- .■11 uiiili-'r which to Ihinl of Ihirti'cii ■ n struc- I'RINCK WlIi- M ■;t ti I 1 i A GUIDE TO ST.

Two of the most interesting ejiisodes in all history are associated, with the l)eginniiigs of hVeiich and ICnglish occupa- tion of St. John. The landing of the Loyalists is one and the other is the warfare betweei, La Tour and Charnisay. The .storv of the two rival chiefs resembles nuioh the legends of (iernian nobles who warred with ore another from opposite towers on the Rhine.

The finest homes of the city are here, including the Jimes, Thomson and Hoyd residences. The first was buiU about a do/en years ago by Mr. Simeon Jones, a retired man of wealth of the city. It is the handsomest ])iece of residential architecture in the ^Maritime Provinces and perhaps in Canada. It is after the tyjie of the old ivnglish castles, and is a magnificent .structure of limestone of a .soft and pleasing color with sandstone facings. It cost many thousands to eiect for it is s>d).stantially and gracefully liuilt and the interior decorations are handsome; The princi])al streets and stpiares of the very lieart of the city have now been seen and the south end is the next feature in the programuje. The finest building liere is the Wiggins :Male Orjihan .\sylum, a charily founded by a .ship builder for the benefit of orphans whose parents had been connected with the industry. It is a handsome piece of Gothic 28 WHERE liRHEZES lU.OW. w \ architecture built of red and gre)- freestone and granite, and it cost about Jioo/wo. The .southern tip of the city is devoted to exhibition purposes. Here is the large and connnodious exhiljition building with its outbuildings where there have been many highly succcssfid disjilays. Here also are the drill shid. barrack groiiiuls, battery and ollices devoted to the purposes of the local militia, the 62nd Hallalioii St John I'usiliers, the \l\v llrunswick liatlalion of (larrison Artillery and the St. John Rifles. These features may best be seen and a fine view obtaint-d as well of the harbor, bay, Courtenay Hay flats and Red Head by driving around the Iwulevard that skirls the barrack ground. Returning through the city centre the east end is the next portion of the city visited. On Waterloo Street is the Roman Catholic Cathedral rivaling Trinity in its magnificence. It is built of marble and sandstone and is 2«) feet long and 110 feet wide at the transepts. Over the eastern portal is a beautiful marble bas relief of the Last Supper. Adjoining tlie Cathedral are the Uishop's palace, the Nunnery and the Cliff Street orphan asylum. The whole property here is valued at nearly a tjuarter of a million. Inirther along Waterloo vStreet is the jjrovincial general liosi)ital, a large brick structure standing on an eminence overlooking the Valley. Haymarket Square, a triangular space, is at the fool of the strett and from it l)ranch off many jdeasaut drives, to Rothesay, Loch Lomond and Red Hea-i M n p) o m o o !^ K A OUiniC T(l ST.

On some of the avenues the residences are jjcrched ;ipon clitTs away above the street level while ou others the street is huilt u]) with masonry, so that they look down on one side u])on hou.ses nestling underneath. Tpon the very summit of Mount I'leasant comnianding the finest view- of the city is the Roman Catholic Convent of the Sacred lUart. It consists <>•" a long rambling wooden main building, a pavilion and an olwervatory. I'Voni the observatory a binl's-cyc view is obtained ol the city, harbor and surroundings. Descending Mount I'leasant boulevard and u\) through the miniature rock jiass of Kocklaiid Road the next in the chain of hills back of the city is traversed. This is I'ort Howi' intertstiiig cliielly because of its military history. Here is the city's chief anti- (jiMly, an old and dilapidated stone barracks. 11 iscoasiiKrably over .1 huudred years old and was the liist imjierial barracks erected in St. John, being established before the coming of the Loyalists. Near this and on the highest eminence of I'Virt Howe is a little block house with several camions mounted. The view of the city from this height is superb. In the Millidge field halfway along fort Howe and under the ba.se of a rock that fiiees Rockland Road is I'eggy's Well, an hi.storic s])ot. Here it was that William Lobbctt, the great British refornur, first met his wife. .V hundred and ten years ago he was a corjjoral in the 5|lli regimi Ml stalioued at I'on llowc One morniiu; he went out for his accustomed walk at day- light and saw a bright and buNoni sergeant -major's d.iughter busy ovrr her wash-tulis at this spot. He wa.s so entranced with her manner of disposing of tl'! family washing that he fell in love with her at first sight and told a coini)anioii that she was to be his future wife. .\nd sm-e enough she was and she provi'd as faithful and energetic in every line as she had seemed on that morning years before. In fact she was more faithful than Cobbetl, for two or three years later when he was stationed at I'ledericton lie became infatuated with a dark -haired nyiii])!! of lUissfii'.d on the ihomocto, and u' .;d to paddle there and back by night over thirty miles in order to s|)eiid Sunday witl. her. Hut at length he proved true to I'eRKy ""'I the nyniph of the river was left to mourn. Hut he says that if there had been one suggestion even of iiidifference from Peggy, he might liave enileil his days on a New Hrunswick farm. Passing from Rockland Road into Main Street, the North Ivnd is traversed.

A short distance farther u]) is the Willows, a ])retty sunnner hotel, and if the start lias been made in the morning dinner can be had here. After that duty conies a novelty, that of cro.ssing the river on the rustic ferries that are the mode. They are nothing more tliaii scows and are j)ropelled by sail, or when the wind does not serve, by sculls. These land their freight a few miles aiiove Rothesay on the .south bank of the river and the homeward jonnicy is made. Another favorite drive is that to I, och I.omond, a distance of fourteen miles from the citv. The objective point is usually the Hen Lomond Ibni.se, a famous country hostelry where are found a most hos])itable welcome and the mo.sl enjoy- able rejiast in the whole countryside. The road is a broad .smooth carriageway and ]ja.sses by Silver I'"alls, Little River and Long's Lake, at length reaching the Loch, a fine expanse of water. .Vfter dining or sujiping at the inn another route is taken on the return jouriKy. Retracing your course a little a cross road is taken to the Cioldeii (".rove thoroughfare. It is a pretty road and where it comes into the Ciolden ('.rove highway the laiuLscajie is especially fine.

It passes first through Crouchville, where there are a number of pretty residences besides the boys' reformatory and almshouse, and then traverses the Red Head shore affording a sjjlendid view of the city in thu distance. At Mis])ec the scenery is beautiful. It IS a milling village at the mouth of a river of the same name. The stream is a rapid and turbulent one and the falls and rapids are charming bits of scenery. Starting from Mount Plea.sant the Howe's Iout fourteen miles around the shores of South Hay and Ciraud Bay, two large inlets from the river, and the scenery at Westfield is charming. The fishing waters of New Brunswick are unsurpassed on the continent for the keen sjiorl which they afford to the angler.

Words fail to give a true conception of its itist he seen and its ])ersouality felt to he projjerly ai)])reciated. Rising four hundred and fifty miles ^ay 111 llie wild forest regions of Maine it (lows through a marvellously fertile valley, sometimes ahounding in scenery of the suhlimeaiid rugged type and again olferiiig peaceful ]iielures of pastoral sini])licity. Receiving unto itself the contrilmtioiis t)f many tributaries, some of them great rivers of themselves, it is the grandest river system on the Atlantic coast and New Hrunswiek's proudest heritage from nature's hand. Some have called it the " Rhine of Auieriea, " hut away with the term ! It does not desire to shine in the reflected light of another or to ]>ose as an imitator. It has an individuality all its own and i lieauty that is entirely different from that of the Danube or Rhine or Ihidson. It does not depend for its interest upon the works of man, n])on turreted castle keeps or elegant modern stnu-lures. Its beauty is its siu,|)lii'ity, its broad blue sweep, its terraced and fertile iqilands, its tree-encircled intervale, its clilfs and waterfalls and isl.iuil-dotted reaches. Though one has known the river all his life he can never tire of it and should he be called ujxui to li'ave its presence it would he like parting from an old friend. There is always some uo'-elty to be found, some new w.iy in wliieh to cxjilore its mysteries. Though the writer has seen it in various moods, though he has had many exjierieuces upon it he has much yet to learn. He has camped at many ])laceH on both sides of the river and he has spent nights under canvas on a raft in the midille ; he has travelled on many ."jtyles of vessel, from a bark canoe, through the stages of a rowboal, sailing yacht, iSic, to a river steamer ; he has .shot the ra])ids and falls at the mouth and experienced the keenest evnltation tlien.it and he has had other feelings while he wrestk'd with the eelgrass of Ciagetown at miend a very ])Ijasant day on the river. The May (Jueen, which is a commodious and comfortable boat, runs Tuesday and I'Viday excursions up as far as the hlvandale Hotel. It is a sail of about twenty-eight miles and a couple of hours are s]jcnt uj) tiiere before retnriMiig. .\n excellent dinner is served on the boat or it maybe had at the hotel.

Just below are the Palls and just above are the Narrows. These are beetling cliffs of limestone attaining in places a height of 20(j feet or more and resembling the Palisades of the Hudson. At the foot of the cliffs nestle lime kilns, in little coves are '.umber mills and an air of bustling industry pervades the scene. Guarding the upper entrance to this narrow pass are Hoar's Head and (rreeu Ik ad, two small promontories. Above these the river makes a sudden expansion into a space about ten miles wide. On the right is the capacious mouth of the Kennebecasis and on the left the broad area of Grand Bay. Here the wind blows freshly and yatchs and sailboats maybe seen cleaving the waves. Twc or three miles further along is WcsUkld, the mouth of the Nerei)is and Woodman's Point, constituting a pretty place for a summer resort. The Nerepis is a beautiful stream, serpentine in its windings and a pretty i)lace for canoeing. It seems never to be di.sturbed by a ripple for it is narrow and protected by trees and shrubs that line the banks. Men who have canoed among the famous Thousand Isles on the St. Lawrence say that they cannot compare with this spot as the home of birch and paddle. Woodman's Point stands out piominentlv anil commaiuls a bend in the river. There was once a French fort there but now it is given u]) to i)retty villas, the residences of St. John men. There are many summer residences at Westfield and the two places are joined across ilie nioulli of the Nerepis by a long wooden bridge.

It U tjiu » A GUIDE TO ST. JOHN. 5$ traveller's goal. Here is Digby Strait and beyond it the smiling Annapolis Basin in sheer contrast to the rugged clifiFs that stand like colossal sentinels guarding it. As the steamer a])proaclies the i)assage the view is a magnificent one. The massive rock rises high above on either hand and the straits swirl with eddies made by the rush of the waters. Heyond are glimpses of Arcadian sim])licily, sloping meadows, long beaches, languid sails of fishing and ])le:isure boats and the peaceful white cottages of Digby embedded amid their orchard foliage. The little town of Digby is the first slopping place on the trijj and it has occupied from three to four hours to cross the hay to this pleasant harbor. The distance is forty-three nnles and the steamer's record for covering the distance is 3 hours and 15 niimites. For the Monttcello was built for sjieed and with her cli])per build md graceful lines she is as pretty as she js speedy. Digby is a town of a thousand or two inhabitants and is prettily situatid on the sloping hillsides that rise gently from the water's edge about a mile from Digby channel. It is a place of neat cottages and pleasant groves and of shady streets and orchards anlayed had he been in Paris itself. The fort is S(|uarc in outline and the eiiclo.sure occupies a space of .about an acre. The carthern ramparts are about *.weiity feet high and beyond it is a deep wide ditch with earth-works flanking it. The ])osiiion is commanding being on a high point of land between the .\nnai)olis river on one side and a low marsh on the other. The ruined stone sally-jiort is very old and dates from the Fieiich period au.i there is al.so in the enclosure an ancient wooden barracks Iniilt under the British regime. A GUIDK TO ST. JOHN. 55 From Annapolis the trains of the Doniinidii Atlantic railway may be taken through the Annapolis and Cornwallis valleys and along the shores oTlMinas basin to Halifax Or if the travelkr is making the ronnd trip he i-.m retnrn to St John on the Monticello the same d;iy arriving in the city about six o'clock. The chief rail \va\ route Irom Si. John is that via the Intercolonial railway. It i*- the pathway to the fishing waters of the north shore and to the delightful scenery of Cajie Hreton. The first portion of the road skirts the Kennebeca.sis and a varied ])anorama flashes before the car window. At Hampton there is a branch line that leads down to St. Martins, one of the prettiest spots for coast scenery on the whole Atlantic shore and the home of retii -l >hip builders .in.l ship captains. Farther along a country is reached where mineral si>rings abound that promise when they .ire fully develojied to be v.iUiable pos.sessions. First come the Apohacjui alkaline sjjrings. The water has a good repnlation both here and in New England and it is claimed to be the only natural eiunlsifier of cod-liver oil. At Sussex there is an .irie.sian spring and near Penobscpiis are valuable suliihur s]ia situated amid very ])leasant surroundings. The Ilavelock .Mineral springs are the best developed of all and th^lr output is large. Then beside these on the 1. C. R. there are s])riugs ,a I'emi field, Charlotte county, at Jeniseg on the St. John and at other places. The last arc called the "La Tour" Mineral springs and thfir ca])acity is about 200 barrels a day. Moncton is the first place of im])ortaMce on the line of the I. C. k. It is a railway centre, the r< • lir shops of the 1. C. R., which by the way is a governnieul road, being located here. There are several important industrial establishments and it is a busy and jjrogreasive city. The chiel attraction to the louri.st is "The Hore." The city is located on a bend of the I'etitcodiac which is a tidal river. Twice a day the tide comes rolling up the river in a wall filling the previously almost empty bed. Sometimes the bore is very small, at other times it reaches a height of five or six feet. It is worth going a long ways to see for there - but one other tidal bore in the world, on tin Tsien-Tang iu China. Now a little sluggish rivulet covers imly the very bottom of a muddy river bed with banks rising In^ii above. Then olf in tlie distance across the verdant and level stretches of meadow ajijiears a long white advancing line. Nearer and nearer it comes in .swill pro- gres.sioti like the van of an advancing army but with an iinpre.ssion of greater i -sistibilily. Then a snb.sued noise is heard "Is.

Nearer yet and the wall of water is dis- tinguished in front tumbled and broken into Hying sjjray. At length it is at our feet and the ends of the column leap high upon the bank and with exulting clainoi claim the smitten land. It is a scene of tunmlt and confusion and the noise is deafening. As swiftly as it came as swil'tlv it jiasses on and the water is placid again excejit that it is a river where once it was a stream. There seems something human or more than human in such a phenomenon if nature and it is an in- .spiring sight to see it and hear it in all its might. There is a spleiid.il hotel in Moncton, the li/unswick, ke])t by :Mr. Cleo McSweeny. It is a large and roomy hou.se and is excellently managed. From tV.e city the road diverges in two directions, north to the IMiraniichi and Restigouche and east to Halifax, Cyi)e Breton and the Anna))olis Valley. Then again another road maybe taken fiom Moncton to Prince Kdward Island. A man arriving at Moncton is a]>t to lie divided between different opinions, and will find it rather difficult to decide between t''e attractions of the far noith and the far ear.t. If he is a fisherman he will go north, and if he is not he will gi east tc lovely Cajie Breton, wIkto many itrominent Americans havi' sunnner homes, where there are sjjlendid hotels, where the .scenery of the Bras D'Or lakes is umivalled in natural beauty, and where davs may be sjient in boat and yacht on the placid nooks and inlets of these wonderf\il inland waters. The two vSydneys are 'owns where many tourists flock. Itaddeck is a place of delight that Charles Dudley Warner wrote about, and at Loui.sburg is the site .if the great I'rench fortress that New Ivngland cantured iti .7.45. This year the hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the occasion was celebrated by the establishment there of a memorial of the event. H.I- \ IIA\ ll\ I'll'! \S !>'( >U I.AKI'S. CHHPTER VIII. A VARIETY OF INFORMATION. Of N the preceding pages the attractiotis which St. John and llie province of New nrunswick present to tourists have been I set forth quite fully. Hut then" is another consideration,— apart from clin\ate, .scenery, novelty, or capacity for * pleasure, — that in tliis utilitarian age must betaken into the thought. This is the question of cost, and in this, as in all other features, St. John is easily first. I'lverything is on a large .scale, its hospitality and its attractions, except its bills. It requires only a very moderate sum to s])eiid a week or two in the province, though, of course, a great deal may be spent if desired. Tho regular return ticket from Doston to St. John by the I. S. S. line is Ig.tx) and the ticket is good until used. Excellent board may be obtained in vSt. Jobn for from one to three dollars a day, and for even less if a .stay is made for a week or two. Then the tri]) on the vSt. John is the cheajiest on the continent. It costs only Ji-oo to go to Tredericton, and there are excursion rates u]) one day and droniineiit wholesale men as president, Mr. Ward Pitfield, and an active md energetic managing director, Mr. C. A. Kverctt. Their main building is a large and spacious structure, only a few blocks from the very heart of the city, and easily reached, and they have other buildings for agriculture and stock adjoining it, and ample grounds about. The fair will open on September 24th and will continue until October 4tli. The exhibitors will come from all over the continent, and from other countries as well, just as they have done at previous fairs. The prize list will be a large one, as the city, province and Dominion ar.e aiding the association in their work. l.eside the attractions vhich the exhibition itself has to olTer there will be other entertainment provided b^ its jiromoters in the way of sports and amu.sements of various kinds. The.se u.sually partake of the nature of field .sports, base ball, hor.se racing, aiiuatic events, jiyrotechnics, and i:uisical and 'liamatic entertainment. With such a variety of programme the e.\liibition will be an excellent one. and it is the intention to make it surpass any that was ever held previously.
