C2>SB3 -f^'y^^ TO THE PUBLIC It is hoped this little pamphlet may contribute in some degree to the success of the Halifax Aquatic Carnival, by vscrving as a safe and useful guide to visitors and others. It will also enable strangers to take with them to their near or distant homes a memento of what we trust may prove a pleasant visit to the Capital of Nova Scotia. The Editoi: NOYA SCOTIA. -^^♦tc jjjf HE early history of Nova Scotia, or Acadia, is full of interest aI!) ami rich in materials for romance. England claimed the country from its discovery by Cabot in 1479, but retained no permanent hold, and in 1604 the French were in posses- sion. For more than a century the Acadians were alternately the subjects of England and France : but in 1710 the English captured Port Roj'al, which they re-christened Annapolis Royal, in honor of Queen Ann, then on the throne of England, and Nova Scotia has ever since remained a dependency of the British Crown. Haliburton's history of Nova Scotia was long a stand- ard work, but is now out of print. A later and much more vol- umniovis history by Mr. Murdoch, embodies all that the student could desire ; while in Parkman's " Pioneers of flance in the New World," and Cozzin's "Acadia," may be found sketches of romantic incidents of the alternate French and English occupa- tions of Nova Scotia, unencumbered by the dry details of history. The Province consists of the Peninsula of Nova Scotia proper, and the Island of Cape Breton. The length of the Peninsula is about 350 miles, and its greatest width 100 miles ; it is connected with New Brunswick by an isthmus only twelve miles in width between tide waters, and divided from the Island of Cape Breton by the Strait of Canseau (or Canso) 10 miles long, and from half a mile to three miles in width, affording a safe and convenient passage for ships between the Ocean and the Gulf of St. Law- rence. Its area is nearly 18,000 square miles, or about 12,000,000 acres ; of which Cape Breton forms about 2,000,000 acres. There is no country in the world of the same extent so well "!r <2> <. fi THE AQUATIC CARNIVAL Iti t watered as Nova Scotia. It liaa a coast line of nearly 1,000 miles indented by numerous inland basins, bays, and excellent harbors, of which Halifax is tho principal on the Atlantic. Massive bul- warks of slate and granite protect the whole coast, and enclose many a snug harbor where shipping may ride out the fiercest gales in safety. Of lakes there are no less than 400, while the rivers, though small, are numbered by scores. There is sufficient water power to move the machinery of a continent. The value of tHfe fisheries is well known. The lakes and streams abound with salmon and trout, and the forests with game, making this a veritable sportsman's paradise. Mineral wealth is abundant. Cape Breton contains vast and apparently inexhaustible beds of coal. The gold mines yield largely, and are increasing in pro- ductiveness yearly. The gold is the purest mined, and the yield per ton of quartz greater than in California or Australia. The Londonderry iron mines produce a quality of metal greatly es- teemed in England for the manufacture of fine cutlery — razors, knives, and scissors ; and the grindstones for sharpening this cutlery are also furnished by Nova Scotia. She has slates, gran- ite and many kinds of freestone, in great abundance. The lat- ter is extenijpely used for building purposes in many Ameri^ can cities. Plaster and lime rock have long been exported in large quantities. Clay for bricks and pottery is abundant, as well as material for finer ware. Copper, lead, manganese and marble are also found in this favored land, whose natural resour- ces are as yet but imperfectly developed. The people on the Atlantic coast are principally engaged in the fisheries; and trimmer schooners, or a finer race of seamen, than those sailing from Nova Scotia ports, it would be difficult to find. Ship building is another great branch of Nova Scotia industry. If we leave the Atlantic coast and journey inland we find a soil unequalled for fertility. Marsh land, reclaimed from the sea by dykes, where grass grows (and has grown for more than a century without the aid of fertilizers), higher than the head of the tall- est man ; rich fields of luxuriant clover ; and two of the finest V i HAND BOOK. 6 iv J, 000 miles nt harbors, Passive bul- md enclose he fiercest while the s sufficient The value IS abound ingthis a abundant.

Tlie apples and potatoes of Nova Scotia are unsurpassed. This section is known as the " Garden of Nova Scotia," and embraces the site of the ancient vilh'fge of Grand Pre and the scene of '< Evangeline." To the American tourist Nova Scotia presents many attrar- tions, some of which will be enumerated in another place. Those wishing to read up her early history, or to enquire more particu- larly into her resources, will find every facility in the library in the Province Building. The capital of Nova Scotia, was founded in 1740, by the Loids of the Board of Trade, and named after the President, George Montague, Earl of Halifax. St. Paul's Church, which is still standing, was built by Government in 1750. It has, however, been enlarged and improved. Between the years 1751 and 1758 a number of German settlers arrived and settled at the North End, now called Dutch Town. The " Dutch Church," so called, which now stands on Brunswick Street, was erected in T701, and remains as originally constructed. The Town of Dartmouth on the opposite side of the harbor, was settled in 1750. The Dock Yard was established in 1758. An interesting sketch of the early history of Halifax may be found in the life of Sir Erenton Hali- burton, by the Rev. G. "W. Hill. The Citadel, which crowns the city with its fortifications, was commenced by Edward, Duke of Kent when commander-in-chief of the garrison. Martello towers were built about the same time at Point Pleasant, George's Island Eastern Battery, Meagher's Beach and York Redoubt. These towers have given way, and all but the three latter points to more modern fortifications, yrom the summit of the Citadel an extend- ed view may be had of the city and its surroundings. Halifax is one of the healthiest if the English military stations I 1!B"I 6 THE AQUATIC CARNIVAL ui t f and is free from malariouB diseases.

The summer climate is almost invariably beneficial to those who have become debilitated by residence in tropical countries. The autumn months are particularly delightful. Royal Mulira3ic Yaelit Club. This flourishing institution was established 23rd March, 1857, under the title of ^he "Halifax Yacht Club." During the visit of II. R. II. the Prince of Wales to Halifax in 1800, the Club took a prominent part in the splendid reception given him by the Hnligonians, the Regatta which then took place under their management forming one of the most interesting features of the celebration. His Royal Highness signified his appreciation of the efforts of the Club by becoming their Patron, and presenting the magnificent Cliallenge Cup for which the ypchts ol' the Club now contest annually on the 1st of August, the anniversary of the Prince's visit. In 18G1 Her Majesty the Queen conferred upon the Clnb the title of '« Royal ;" and in 1862 the Lords of the Admiralty granted them a Warrant to fly the Blue Ensign of H. 11. Fleet. The Club now numbers 200 memberb on the active list (to which they are limited), and has already a goodly show of yachts, which is yearly increasing. Their Club House is beautifully situated on the water-side at Richmond, in the North Suburbs of Halifax, and commands a fine view of the most pic- turesque part of its noble harbor. It is a well-appointed build- ing, containing all the requisites of a first-class Club House. The w.ater-front is occupied by piers, slips, boat-houses and all the accessories for keeping yachts and boats. A capital Bowl- ing-alley on the premises ofiers an additional means of recre- ation for the members.

It was felt that a race between two crcw.s was not the best way to decide the championship of the world ; and so arrangements were mude for a contest, open to all, in which the prize oftcrcd, aside from the honors at stake, is sufRcient to bring together the best oarsmen of the Old and New Worlds. Other races were arranged that the spectacle might be one worthy of tlie anticipated throng of visitors.

It is hoped those who come to Halifax for the A<][uatic Carni- nal, will embrace the opportunity of seeing something of Nova Scotia before their return. There are few pleasanter routes of travel than that from Halifax, by rai^ to Annapolis, via Wind- sor, Wolfville, Kentville, and Bridgetown. A few days may be pleasantly spent at any of these towns. Between Windsor and Wolfville is Grand Vr6, the home of the exiled Acadians, and the scene of " Evangeline.'* Annapolis has a memorable history and is the most ancient town in this part of the world after St. Au- gustine. It was the headquarters of the French in the new world,, and was many times beseiged. The remains of the old fortifications are still standing. On three days in each week there is a steamer from Annapolis to St. John, New Brunswick. The sail down the Annapolis Basin, touching at Digby, and the passage through Digby Gut, afford many charming views. A four hours passage across the Bay of Fundy brings the traveller to St. John. A steamer leaves Windsor, Nova Scotia, once a week for St. John, affording a pleasant sail down the Avon river, through the Basin of Minas, passing Cape Blomidon, and then down the Bay of Fundy to the point of destination. The steamer Af. A . Starr, leaves Halifax every Tuesday morn- ing, at 6 o'clock, for the Western Shore ports, touching at Lun- enburg. Liverpool, and Shelburne, and connecting at Yarmouth with the steamer Linda for St. John. Pictou, 118 miles from Halifax by rail, is quite an important point of departure. Here the tourist may take a steamer for Shediac, New Brunswick, via Charlottetown, Prince Edward Is- land, connecting at Shediac with the railway to St. John. — Steamers for Charlottetown, depart every day or two. Every Tuesday a steamship leaves Pictou for Quebec, and every alter- nate Thursday for Montreal and intermediate ports, at 7 a.m. Bui before taking their final departure from Nova Scotia, tourists should visit the Island of Cape Breton. As pleasant a route as any is to take steamer at Pictou for Hawksbury, Strait ofCanso. Hence you stage it to West Bay, a distance of 15 miles, passing en route the famous Marble mountain. The fol- lowing morning you embark on the steamer Neptune and proceed to Sydney, through the celebrated Bras D'or and Little Bras THE AQUATIC CARNIVAL D'or Lakes. From Sydney many pleasant excursions may be made. The ruins of the great French fortress of Louisbuvg are well worth a visit; while of course the ^reat coal mines will claim attention. To point out the attractions of Cape Breton in the brief space at our disposal, would be impossible. The tourist should discover them for himself. The day is not (kr distant when this portion of Nova Scotia will be one of the favorite sum- mer resorts of North America. > f HAND BOOK. d5 < SP£GIAL NOTICE. fie Itmfi^fll €f ew. We are without advices as to the intentions of this cr€»w, though it seems hardly probable they will compete in the race for which they were entered, now that their leader has fallen. They may, however, conclude to man their boat with their reserve, John Bright. Under the circumstances we preferred to let the entries stand as recorded. James Renforth. \ As the preceding pages were going to press tidinfirs came from New Brunswick of the death of Renforth, and the victory of the Paris crew. This intelligence came at an early hour, and many were inclined to regard it as a cruel hoax. Later, other telegrams were received confirmatory of the first, but still people doubted. No one wished to be- lieve that the English champion had really depart- ed this life in the full zenith of his powers ; that the grand central figure in the aquatic events of the present season would no longer ply the oar ; that for him were to be twined wreaths of cypress and not of laurel. Karely has the great heart of Halifax been so deeply moved as when the fate of the gallant English oarsman became known. — When the pitiless telegrams extinguished the last spark of hope that Renforth might have tarried on this side of the dark river, and the sad tidings were flashed under the broad Atlantic that were to carry mourning and desolation and woe to a hap- py home on the banks of the English river Tyne, heartfelt expressions of sympathy for the afflicted and s.(irrow for the untimely end of the great oars- man were heard on every hand. Renforth's form- er comrades, Messrs. Taylor aLd Winship, and Sadler and Bagnall, all of the eecond Tyne crew, were deeply affected at the tragic fate of the man they had crossed the Atlantic to meet a few days hence in friendly rivalry upon the broad bosom of Halifax harbour, and the flag which floats over their quarters at the Atlantic hotel was promptly placed at half mast. The Royal Halifax Yacht Club also drooped their colors in respect to the memory of the dead. r JC ' !/t -^ That there should have been whispered about rumours of foul play when Renforth dropped his oar^ and was rowed to shore while thousands of spectators W;^re gazing upon a contest destined to 80 tragic a termination, is perhaps not surprising.' Fortunately for all concerned, these suspicions have been proved to be without foundation. A post mortem examination, held by^ Doctors Mc- Laren and Wade, of St. John, revealed the fact that Renforth died oi pulmonary apoplexy or con- gestion ot the lungs. His fate rests with God. — ; That man should have had agency in it was a sup- position almost too horrible for credence. James Renforth was about twenty-eight years old at the time of his death. He was born on Ra- pid Banks, Gateshead, near Newcastle. Wh^n a very young man he enlisted m the East India Company's service, and served in the Madras Fusileers until the transfer of the Company's forces to the Imperial Government,- when, with others, he obtained his discharge, and returned to Eng- land. He was first known in athletic sports, at home, as a swimmer ; and was unknown as an oarsman until 1866, when, having entered the em- ploy of the Tvne River Commissioners^ he becaine * practiced witt the oars while engaged in lerry- mg woi-kmen who werp taking down the old Tyne bridge, between the. piers and the shores. His after career is well known on both sides of the Atlantic In closing this brief sketch the words of a city paper recur as both eloquent an,d pro-- per : " Wg are speaking for St. John and Halifax most truly when we say that dead Renforth's memory will be cherished here across the Atlantic by those rival oarsmen he had hoped to conquer with a chivalrous regret and sorrowful regard, more deep and lasting than any renown he might have won upon our waters." :« 88- THE AQDATIC CAHNIVL. t^!«eea«ft?59^sB-,, f «?f . - - ■ M®M S@@Teft- - ■ - ««?«.
