 The Attractions o/ 
 
 Beautiful *Abeg'weit 
 
 " This I<and has a spell to enchant me." 
 
 " Where'er you walk, cool Rales shall fan the glade • 
 Trees where you sit shall crowd into a shade ; 
 Where'er you tread the blushing flowers shall rise, 
 And all things flourish where you turn your eyes."— Pope 
 
 HERE come, now and again, to the dweller in 
 the tumultuous city and to the world-weary 
 tourist, visions of a beautiful land in the midst 
 of the cool sea--a land fanned by healthful breezes 
 — a land of green hills, purling brooks and fer- 
 tile fields. The new note of repose and recu- 
 peration, instead of the nerve-racking conven- 
 tionalism of fashionable watering-places, strikes 
 his ear. and he yearns for some Elysium where rest in its 
 fullest sense can be obtained ; all unconscious of the fact that 
 close at hand, in these days of quick travel, 
 such a spot really exists. In the silvery 
 waters of the beautiful Gulf of Saint Law- 
 rence, and but a few miles from the shore of the Continent, 
 nestles tl.at wonderful green crescent — Prince Edward Island. 
 
 Th« Dream of 
 the Tourist 
 
 " its glorious summer bewitches the tourist " 
 
 Cartier called it the 'low and beautiful land," and the Mic- 
 
 macs, "Floating Beauty"; and to-day with the added charm 
 
 * The Indian name for Prince Edward Island, meaning " Home on the 
 wave. ' 
 
of cultivation, its loveliness is enchanting,'. The Island and 
 its glorious summer hewitche.' the tourist, and he will return 
 again and again to he soothed by the music of its bell-toned 
 streamlets, and kissed now l)y the cool saline bree/.e frum the 
 
 ••enchaiitin ; glimpses oi silver streams' ■ 
 
 swirling sea, and anon by the scented winds which in soft cad- 
 ence whisper o'er the meadow thyme. 
 
 The Scenery o( the 
 Summer-land 
 
 makes. 
 
 The tourist's first view of ihe Island in its 
 summer garb is one ihat will never be for- 
 gotten and " time but the impression deeper 
 As he approaches the coast a panorama unique 
 
 and glorious opens up before him. From out the sail-flecked 
 sea arises a land of almost tropical loveliness— 
 
 " A long low line of beach, with -^rest of trees, 
 With openings of rich verdure, enl^ ald-hued, " 
 and on the pearly flood laving the ruddy shores is mirrored 
 an azure sky— the colors red, green, and blue, intensifying 
 and beautifying one another. 
 
 The appearance of the land is wholly unlike that which 
 the tourist has just left behind. While it lacks the element of 
 grandeur, being devoid of the romantic boldness that charac- 
 terizes much of the Gulf shore, it is yet graceful with hills and 
 dales, with here and there through fir and spruce enchanting 
 glimpses of silver streams, or charming lakelets mirroring the 
 encircling woods ; and it is picturesque and pleasing every- 
 where. The scenery is of sweet pastoral simplicity, resembling 
 that of England, and the undulating expanse is thickly dotted 
 o'er with comfortable homesteads, which in many cases are 
 
\ 
 
 surrounded by trimly-kept hedges, imparting an nir of great 
 neatness. The peculiar greenness of the fields and meadows 
 rivals that of the Kmerald Isle itself, and presents a scene of 
 rare beauty. And invading the land everywhere, and mould- 
 ing the red cliffs into fantastic shapes, is the lovely, restless 
 sea. The all-too-short summer months unfold a series of beauti- 
 ful panoramic views— from the living green of June to the 
 yellow sheen of August's waving grain, and then the golden 
 hues of autumn.

 With spots of sunny openinRS, and with nooks 
 
 To lie and read in, sloping into brooks, " 
 there are some particular summer haunts which have become 
 popular. To the vacationist, Charlottetown and Summerside— 
 the two gateways of the Island— may offer attractions enough, 
 since they are radically difTerent from the hot, bustliug cities of 
 the continent, and they may be made headquarters from which 
 many delightful jaunts may be taken. Summerside, attrac- 
 tively named, is situated in the midst of a beautiful country 
 and affords good summering facilities. Not far away is the 
 Dunk River, a famous fishing stream, where many piscatorial 
 beauties have been killed. From a hill behind the town— it is 
 but two miles from shore to shore here— can be had one of

 away. Kiijoyahie excursions hy steamer, and pleasant drives 
 through pretty scenery can he had ; and horses, sail and row 
 boats may he hired at ciieap rates. Souris and Georgetown, 
 too, are perfect resting places. The former village, perched on 
 a high bhifT, has a inagn'Pcent prospect seaward, Mud is yearly 
 becoming more esteemed as a summer resort Within a few 
 miles of Souris is Bay Fortune, one of the Island's beauty 
 spots, and the summer home of several well-known actors. 
 Quiet, somnolent Georgetown— there is something in its at- 
 mosphere that is .soothing— is one. of the most convenient of 
 outing-places, and its superb harbor offers every facility for 
 boating and bathing. 
 
 The (amous ^^'^ majority of tourists, however, go to

and sea. This resort is reached by steamer or carriage from 
 Charlottetown. These, and other hotels as well as many farm 
 houses, welcome and hospitably entertain visitors at moderate 
 rates. Numerous clean an 1 intelligent families will receive 
 tourists, and if the menu be not as varied as that at the hotels, 
 the guest may depend upon getting the richest cream and the 
 most golden but.er imaginable, together with an abundance of 
 all the other good things furnished l)y fertile Prince Edward 
 Island. Several citizens of the Great Republic have r ected 
 cottages— in one or two cases mansions— for their own use, and 
 come here year after year to participate in the delights of this 
 enchanting iand. The best drinking water in the world, a 
 wild and cultivated strawberry season, extending from July ist 
 until late in August, with raspberries and other small fruit of 
 an equally good quality clcsely following ; pretty and quaint 
 subjects for the camera at every turn, with the free use of 
 "dark rooms" in Charlottetown for the development of pic- 
 tures (or the o])tion of having the work perfor iied at a trifling 
 cost),— these are a few of the minor attractions that prospective 
 visiters might make a note of. Come then to this unique 
 among islands-" The Island " as its people love to call it-for 
 where else in all America can be found its duplicate -a garden 
 of perfect beauty, redolent of the fragrance of a subtropical 
 verdure and cooled by the health-giving winds of a northern 
 sea.

 "The writer has enjoyed many pleasa-,t visits to the seaside 
 resorts. The perfectly natural life which one may lead at 
 these places is their chiefest charm. For a moderate sum per 
 week one can enjoy living near to nature in this happy holi- 
 day land, with miles of beach to wander upon, a beautiful 
 country to walk or drive through ; and fishing if vou are so 
 inclined. And the greatest charm of all seems to be the fact 
 that the Island is only being " discovered." One ha.s almost 
 all the pleasures of a first-comer in visiting these resorts. The 
 people are so kind, everything is so homelike, that the visitor 
 soon feels quite at ease, and conventionalities and "form" 
 bother him not at all. 
 
 "The unbounded hospitality of the Islanders is proverbial. 
 They spare no trouble to show you around, if they find 
 you would like to see the Island. Do you fish? Well, if your 
 friend cannot go with you, he has a friend who will, and vou 
 are forthwith introduced. Next day you have a charniing 
 drive in the cool air of the early morn, and catch the lordly 
 trout before the sun gets too high ; returning to town to dream 
 of the strikes you made and to feel again in imagination the 
 "swish of the line and the click of the reel. " Or it may be 
 that you have been driven over to the "North Side "—it is 
 only fourteen miles acros,-. the Island- and there you have 
 spent a delightful day, returning refreshed, sunburned, in- 
 vigorated, and full of tin. ,ne of the Gulf air. 
 
 '• Yes, the people take ^ou as a matter of course, and are 
 nice to you. They make you one of themselves, and you join 
 Ui their social amusements. You go to Government House 
 at the Ivieutenant Governor's invitation when the British war- 
 ships are in port, rub shoulders with the jollv sailors, and 
 dance with the pretty Island girls, counting this one more 
 
 13 
 
]oy added to the store. On other occasions too, is dispensed by 
 His Honor and his lady that rare hospitality which seems 
 indigenous to the Island, and always with a graceful warmth 
 that charms the guest. Indeed, in every home is the same 
 pleasing cordiality noticeable. After the slight reserve com- 
 mon to all insular people has thawed, one finds the Islanders 
 thoroughly sociable ; and in conmion parlance "they're all 
 right." Society in Charlottetown is represented by' no mil- 
 lionaires either in blue-blood or money line ; but it docs consist 
 of an extremely agreeable and prosperous middle class with 
 which it is a pleasure to associate. 
 
 " Perhaps like many others you will not take the trouble 
 to go outside of Charlottetown during your holidavs pave for a 
 day or two, because it will seem .so' quiet, so different, .so 
 emancipated from the con.straints of the rapid life you have 
 left behind, that you consider it comparatively tranquil and 
 spend your time pleasantly there. And that may be a good 
 thing to do. Boating and bathing may be had near the 
 city, and the country around is always within reach, two or 
 three hours of driving taking one to any of the .seaside resorts. 
 
 "The writer would fain see more of the good people of 
 our great Republic visit this land— "compassed by the inviolate 
 sea" —and test its peculiar summer charms. Rugged mountain 
 and roar of cataract, trackless forest -and mighty river, there 
 are not. Apart from old ocean's thunderous surf there is no 
 grandeur here. But who shall attempt to depict the sweet 
 pastoral scener) of beautiful " Abegweit, " its fragrant groves 
 and velvet-carpeted fields abloom with an almost tropical 
 luxuriance ; the glint of its crystal waters or the health-giving 
 breezes from the surrounding sail-flecked sea. And over it all, 
 an atmosphere marvellou?ly clear, and a sky as blue as that of 
 sunny Italy. 
 
 "Tourists receive a hearty welcome— the very air is redo- 
 lent of hospitality."

How to reach the Summer-land, its Sport, its health- 
 giving Climate; and a glance at Charlottetown, 
 its Capital City* 
 
 " tile trip on the " Northunibtrland.' 
 
 How the 
 Summer-land 
 is reached 
 
 Not nany decades ago, Prince Edward Is- 
 land was far removed from the tide of tour- 
 ist travel. But in these later days the con- 
 tinent, bound by bands of steel, has grown 
 smaller, and luxurious flying trains" and swift, palatial steamers, 
 have brouglit the Island within 24 hours travel of Boston or 
 Montreal. From either of these cities— convenient starting 
 points, -there is a pleasing diversity of routes. The tourist may 
 leave the great Canadian metropolis daily, either bv the Inter- 
 colonial Railway, skirting the noble Saint I^awrence and through 
 the far-famed Metapedia Valley on to Point du Chene— a pano- 
 ramic feast all through ; or else by the Canadian Pacific Rail- 
 way through the State of Maine— a route slightly shorter than 
 the Intercolonial, but not so rich in scenic splendor— and 
 thence via St. John and to Point du Chene as before. From the 
 last named place, one of the fast and finely equipped boats of 
 the Charlottetown Steam Navigation Company,— the " North- 
 umberland "—conveys the tourist to Summerside where con- 
 nection is made with the Prince Edward Island Railwav for all 
 Island points. TL. trip on the "Northumberland'"' is one 
 of the most delightful that can be imagined; and the menu is 
 the best that the Island— that land of good things— affords. 
 The boat is a twin-propeller 230 feet long and 33 feet beam 
 especially bui't for the route, and covers the 36 miles in 2j^ 
 hours. Should the tourist desire a water trip he may leave 
 Montreal by one of the excellent boats of the Quebec Steam- 
 ship Company, the Black Diamond, Dobell or Scotia lines, passing 
 historic Quebec and down through the St. L,awrence with all 
 its wealth of scenery, direct to Summerside or Charlottetown. 
 From Boston there is an even greater choice of routes. 
 By the "All Rail Line " Boston to St. John (daily except Sun- 
 
 15 
 
ilay), thence via the Intercolonial Railwav to Point du Chene 
 one can reach Charlottetown in 24 hours. If a sea voyage 
 be preferred and time is not of paramount importance; the 
 tourist may take passaj^e on one of the boats of the Kastern 
 vStejimslup Company to St. John, thence via the Intercolonial 
 Railway ; or he may take one of the steamers of tlie Yarmouth 
 Steamship Company from Boston to Yarmouth, thence, throu}<h 
 the Land of Kvanjreline, to Pictou, where connection is made 
 wuh the Charlottetown Steam Xavij,Mtion Company's line for 
 Charlottetown. The boat on the Charlottetown -Pictou route is 
 the "'Princess " — smaller than the "Northumberland," but 
 e(iually well-appointed, and the trip of 50 miles takes four 
 hours. 
 
 For the tourists who wish an inviji^oratinf? sea trip from 
 lioston to Charlottetown, the fine and luxuriously maintained, 
 boats ^f the Plant Line— the "Halifax "and " Olivette "—are 
 all that can be desired. 
 
 From Halifax, the Island is reached bv rail to Pictou 
 thence by the "Princess," or bv direct steamer. The transpor- 
 tation by all the different lines is thoroughly up-to-date. 
 
 Facts for Prince Fdward Island affords no large 
 
 Sportsmen game or extensive salmon fly-fishing, and it 
 
 is a fact that the verv best sport can onlv be 
 had before and after the tourist season. Yet there is g'ood 
 trout fishing in June, July and- August, and fair shooting 
 may be obtained before the tourist departs for home. 
 
 Trout and '^''^ Morell is the best fishing slream 
 
 Salmon o" the Island and is easiest reached from 
 
 Peake's Station 22 miles from Charlotte- 
 town. vSecond in order comes the Dunk, best reached from 
 Summerside. Other good trout streams are the Tignish, Mid- 
 
 The Dunk, best reached from Siiinmerside.' 
 
 gell, Pierre Jacques, Miminigash, Percival, Enmore, Kildare, 
 Bonshaw, Wheatley River, Bell's, Winter River, Sturgeon, 
 Murray, and Fortune, near Souris ; also at North Lake, East 
 
 16 
 
Lake and otlier salt-water ponds and lajjcons alonjij the North 
 Shore, heaulifiii trout are taken. The Fortune trout are far- 
 famed and are taken !)y fly early in June. Ciood trout may be 
 killed at Trout Point at the entrance to Charlottetown Harbor, 
 in the Kast and North Rivers conti^^uous to the City, and very 
 often off the wharves and Park of the City. The rivers are not 
 large or deep enough for salmon fishing with the fly ; but sal- 
 mon are netted in the spring at St. Peter's Harbor an<l other 
 North Shore places. They enter the rivers in September and 
 October to spawn, and very rarely have been caught in the Dunk 
 and the Morel 1 by fly. Ckjod deep-sea fishing — mackerel, had- 
 dock and halibut, etc.,— can be had during June, July and Aug- 
 ust, about three miles from the coast. 
 
 Shooting 
 
 In September is first heard the honV of 
 the wild goose, and it slays until the ice 
 arrives, returning again in the spring, which is the best time 
 for shooting. The be.st shooting is at Egmont Bay, Malpecjue, 
 Cascumpec, St. Peter's, Savage Harbor, and Rustico. Brant 
 shooting is concurrent with that of the goose, and there is 
 plenty of it in spring and fall, although May is the best time. 
 The black duck season opens August 25th, and its strident 
 quack may be heard in any of the ponds and salt-water lakes 
 that fringe the northern shore. Of sea-duck there are many 
 varieties — large black and white, loon, teal, and cock-a-wie, 
 but they are often fishy. Migratory sea-fowl are plentiful. 
 Partridges — ruffled grouse — are diminishing although the close 
 season of a few years ago proved l>eneficial. They can be shot 
 along the railway line. Snipe, wood-cock and different speci"s 
 of plover, can also be had. Rabbits, or rather hares, which 
 turn white in winter, furnish excellent sport. 
 
 The summer climate of Prince Edward 
 Island is exquisite, and as Jacques Carlier 
 described it " of the best temperature, which 
 it is possible to see." Singularly free from extremes of 
 
 Its health-f^ivint; 
 Climate

 St. Paul'sChurch (Anglican) and St. James' (Presbyterian ) are 
 beautiful buildings. The Chajjel of St. Peter's Cathedral is 
 a little gem. Other prominent .structures are the Prince of 
 
 Wales College, Bishop's Palace, City Hall, Masanic Temple, the 
 Prince Edward Island and Charlottetown Hospitals, and the 
 Public Schools. At the Charlottetown market- which is the 
 admiration of strangers -are twice a week offered for sale 
 the beautiful rich cream, golden butter, still bedewed vege- 
 tables and other luscious farm and market-garden products for 
 which the Island is so famous. 
 
 Among the Institutions of the city are two well-conducted 
 Hospitals (Protestant and Roman Catholic), an Insane Asvlum, 
 situated at Falconwood. the Prince of Wales College' and 
 Normal School, Saint Dmistan's Roman Catholic College, two 
 Convent Schools, three large Public Schools, a Kindergar- 
 ten, Schools of Music, and two Business Colleges and Short- 
 hand Scliools. A quarantine station or hospital for infect- 
 ious di.seases is under the control of t'le Doniiiiion Authorities. 
 There is a well-appointed Young Men's Christian Association, 
 and a modern Opera House furnishes amusement for the 
 theatre-goins; population. Victoria Park, connected with the 
 city by the Park Boulevard, has an area of about 60 acres. 
 Within its limits are tennis courts, and cricket and football 
 fields— the scenes of animated gatherings through the summer 
 and autumn days. From Fort Edward, with its six grim dogs 
 of war— now happily silent— mav be obtained fine harbour and 
 river views. The Park is full of charming vistas througli which 
 the .soft roads wind ; and beautiful trees, in the shade of which 
 the tourists revel in the enchanting sylvan scenes. Nearer the 
 city is Government House. The Exhibition Grounds and Driv- 
 ing Park, and the Charlottetown Athletic Ass3ciation Property 
 contain good racing tracks, that of the former being pre- 
 
 view near Soiiris— pretty land-locked bays.

 trips to Orwell on Wednesdays, fare 25c., to West River on Thursdays, 
 fare 20c., to East River on Fridays, fare 20c,, and to Crapaud on Satur- 
 days, fare 40c. The boat leaves Charlottetown at 3 p. m. in each case and 
 returns early in the eveniiiR. 
 
 Ferry boats make hourly trips every day to Rocky Point, a few min- 
 utes walk from the famoiis historical spot " Port I,a Joie." 
 
 Half-hourly trips are made by ferry to Southport from which point 
 Keppock, one of the pleasantest suburban resorts, Pownal, and other 
 pretty places are reached. Many other spots on the shores of the 
 beautiful arms of the sea %vhich extend for miles north, east and west 
 from the main harbor, may ibe visited by boat, yacht and steam launch. 
 
 The Island is traversed by good roads free from stones, running in 
 every direction through its charming vistas. From Charlottetown, trips 
 of from 13 to IS miles '"cross country" via the Brackley Point, Union, 
 Covehead, Tracadie and other roads may be taken to the principal North 
 Shore resorts. Hampton and other South Shore points are distant about 
 20 miles via the beautiful South Shore Road from Rocky Pcinl F.^ .y, or 
 by way of the North River over the famous Bonshaw Hills. A pleasant 
 drive by the " 48 Road " over Tea Hill with its magnificent view, takes one 
 to Pownal and other picturesque villages. It is impossible in this limited 
 space to convey to the visitor any idea of the beauty and variety of 
 the drives that one may enjoy. They must be taken to be appreciated. 
 (Jood conveyances can be obtaujed at rea.«onable rates.
