Kverybody would say that he thought it was a good idea and that it should be carried out, but there the matter ended. The Kino thought it would be a gooil idea, and it kept the thing before the public by timely articles, and, fol- lowing its lead, other journals took up the refrain, rendering valuable assistance. In this way, what was merely an idea ripened into action, and lailniin- ated in a .Summer Carnival memorable for its attrac- tions and jileasures, and which, in every way, must be satisfactory to its promoters and the thousands of visitors who enjoy it. The Ki HO decided to issue a special number, which, by descriptive articles and choice illustra- tions of the various points of interest, public build- ings and bits of beautiful and romantic scenery everywhere abounding in the city and its environs, would serve as .1 inemcnio of the occasion. It is now before yo'i, and altliough we are fully conscious of its defects, and, no doubt, carpii'g critics would remind us of them if we were vain enough to siip- l)ose it perfection, we view it, we trust, with a pardonable degree of satisfaction, considering the limitations and difficulties under which we labored as a pioneer journal in an entirely new field " down by the sea." Determined to make it an elegant and appropriate souvenir of this great occasion, we have spared no reasonable expense, and trust to an appreciative public for our reward. The prime motive of getting u|) this Carnival has been to advertise the advantages of this city and province as a summer resort. Kvery year witnesses the migration of lens of thousands of the more wealthy inh.abitants of the great cities of the United States and of the large and wealthy inland cities of Canada to watering pla( es and summer resorts of various kinds, where they can escape from the in- tolerable heat and secure healthful enjoyment and freedom from the cares of business, with such re- creation and amusements as will build uji exhausted vitality. It has been believed that once their atten- tion could be called to the charming natural beauties of this province and Halifax ])art:cularly, with its noble harbor, bracing climate and delightful pleasure grounds, many of them would turn to it in the hot season to revive exhausted energies, as the Ma- homedan pilgrim turns toward Mecca to have his faith revived. I'or some years past they have been coming here in fair numbers, and these have been increasing year by year, for all who came presented " a goodly report " to their friends on their return. But instead of having a few hundreds of summer visitors, why should we not have as many thousands ? With better fa<:ilities of travel, with expanding hotel accommodation, which could be increased indefin- itely should occasion demand, there is no reason why we may not have them, with advantage to hosts and guests. Chierty with this object in view tlie '"^umrner Carnival was [irojected. The City Council, grasp- ing the situation, voiced the general sentiment by voting three thousand dollars towards theenterpri.se, and this was supplemented by liberal contribiitiims from publii spirited citizens. Meetings were held of representative citizens of various classes, and committees fonned to arrange i)rogrammes of events such as would attract people of all tastes. The committees worked with energy and intelligence and a<:( oinplished the various tasks they took in hand with a degree of success that is worthy of all praise. Many thousands of visitors will see Halifax in holiday attire and witness what it can d(/ in the way of balls, concerts, theatrical performances, military and naval disi)lays ai|uatii sports, horse racing, and the many athletic sports and pastimes whi< h lend grace and energy to the human form. They will enjoy Halifax's wealth of natural beauty, its abounding hospitality, its good iheer, and its life-giving climate. 'I'hey will, doubtless, be satis- fied and loud in their praises. The brilliant success which must attend this Carnival has been most encouraging to all c oik erned. Henc eforth, if we mistake not, a Summer Carnival will be an annual feature of Halifax life. The ex- perience gained will be of the utmost value in carry- ing (nit fiiturt enteriirises of the same kind. Kvery effort will be made to make eac h one an improve- ment on the last. In this way the fame of Halifax will sjiread as the [ilace /',ir rxcelliitcf to spend the hot months of summer, and the I'a no will be here to work for the interests of the city and to extend a cordial welcome to all visitors.

Halifax, instead of l)cing an un]>lt>asant place of ab(xle, as many have l)een led to I>elieve by the expression ahove (^uotetl, is really one of the most de- lightful cities on the continent, and especially in the sum ner season. It is IwautifuIIy situated, on a peninsula claspc-d Ity the loving arms of old ocean, commands a view of the most jieerless harbor in the world, anil Nature seems to have exhausted itself in the surrounding attractions. Its climate in summe/ is simply sn]>er]>, while its condition in winter is one to Ik.' envied by the lovers of the sjiorts ami pastimes peculiar to the season who do not like them to i>c accom- panied with a too strong application of Jack Krost's biting attentions. Hut it is r)f Halifax as seen by our Carnival visitors that we windd speak. If we ascend to the top ot Citadel Hill, :he stiong fortification which towers above the city, and stands upon its southern slope, what a magnificent view greets the enraptured eye ! Slightly to the right are the Tublic (iardens, a charming spot elsewhere descrilwd ; what is known as the -'.South Knd," with its aristocratic re- sidences embowered among trees ; Point I'leasant Park, suf- ficiently l)eautiful to Ik? the suhjecl of a separate article; while bold promontories, extending like huge battlements .^gainst the rude bufietings of the broad Atlantic, stretch for many miles along the shore. Directly in front of us the ocean stretches as far as the eye can see, and one may watch the white sails of scores of coasters and fishing smacks as they dance up
