And o'er their foam-capped crests to us reveal The outlines of a ]ianorama grand, — Passamai|uoddy"s shores and islands green, The ruiiged sea-girt cliffs of drand Manan, Forever \\ ashed by I'"undy's mighty tides, Acadian fiells, and Piloniidon's steep sides, And Ureton's Cape whereon the sun to man New rising in the western world is seen. VEXING ([uestion this, "How and where shall I spend my vacation ? " when a hundred attrac- tions offer themselves in tempting array. You may have "done" resorts near home till the desire for "something new" demands attention. Then allow me to offer a few suggestions. From the tourist's point of view there are always new worlds to conquer, fresh fields to visit, new experiences lO live. The surprising thing is that so much remains so near at hand and so rich in entertain- ment. You may not appreciate how much lies in store for you "just over the border," in that region " toward the sunrise," that landscapes of unique and varied beauties wait to gladden your eye ; nor how novel may be your experiences under another flag. Not alone a land of strange and beautiful physical features, but also rich in historic memories and bathed in the soft glamour of romance. All this, and more, is true of that portion of Canada called the Maritime Provinces, the " Aquoddie " of the Indian, the Acadia of the pioneers of France in the New \Vorld. Who has not conjured up legends and tales at mention of "Passa- maquoddy," or felt a stimulus in the resounding names of " Grand Mnnan "or " Fiindy " ? what s])ortsnian that has not seen visions of noble game and Indian giiiiles with deft jiaddles, to the music of such names as " Meta])edia," " Restigouche," or " Miramichi "? Certainly none could have read " Evangeline " without a longing for the fair fields of (Irand Pre and the mysterious forests of Blomi- don. All this becomes reality for him who reads, by means of the water route of the well-established Iiiirnuitional Steamship Company, — a reality prefaced by all the delights of an ocean voyage sans discom- forts, — a voyage skirting the pictured shores of more than half New England, the waters of Passamaquoddy and Fundy iJays, having I'os- ton for its initial point, Portland and Eastport its intermediate landings, and St. John its terminal. This company has three side-wheel steamers, the " State of Maine," " Cumberland," and " New Brunswick," the two first named of about sixteen hundred tons burden, and the latter of about one thousand tons, fitted with conveniences and luxuries of modern naval construction. 'I'he cuisine and service have long been a matter of note to travellers, and are kept at an unvaryingly high standard of excellence. In connection with its steamship lines this company has established a system of tourist routes and rates (see latter part of book), covering rail and steamboat lines necessary for reaching the summer resorts of Maine, as well as those within the Maritime Provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton, famous Crand Manan, the charming Passamacjuoddy Bay resting retreats of Campo- bello Island and St. Andrew's-by-the-Sea. The reader will readily understand that the limited space afforded in a book of this description will not allow (jf an exhaustive treatment of the many summer resorts reached by this company and its connec- tions. \ irs//!iit' of personal observations, combined with numerous im- pressions of other and more careful obser\ers and writers, is all that the author can offer on this most fascinating of subjects. " See it for yourself" is the only perfect satisfaction. I I ^ THE NORTH SHORE, BEACONS, PORTLAND, MAINE COAST AT SUNSET, SUNRISE. . . . ,v ** fi FIKR an admonitory blast or two from the hoarse throat of the whistle, the polite suggestion, "All ashore that's going ashore," the heavy plash of stern and bow line by the steamer's side, the great i)iston plunges into the depths of the engine pit, and the ponderous wheels begin their revo- lutions, not to cease until two hundred and thirty miles and more have been spanned, and twenty-one thousand revolutions scored on the wonderfully human little register below. From the hurricane deck the roofs of the warehouses seem moving slowly away, the voyage is actually begun ; we would not bespeak for you any other than a balmy, sunny day, be it early o'' late summer, or mid-season, the great steamer, in its holiday attire of gay bunting, re- cei\ ing numerous little marine courtesies from small craft, glides out among the exhilarating scenes of a great harbor at the height of the season, and heads for the open sea. Perhaps for the first time you will realize, as you look back, what an evolution Boston is undergoing in its physical aspects at least, as the hnlf-ilozen recent architectural achievements assert themselves, and soar grandly heavenward. Wonderfully striking and picturesque it is, suggestive perhaps also of the " (Ireater Boston " that is to be ; the gilded dome sinks into a secondary position, dwarfed by the superior lowers that stand before it. 'l"he steamer is now swiftly leaving the city behind and bringing into view the islands of the harbor, — Governor's, with its sullen, silent Fort I 4 1 Winthrop, on the left, Castle Island, with massive walls of Fort Inde- pendence on the right, tied to South Boston by a many-spanned bridge, and following the main ship channel. Spectacle and l-ong Islands glide silently by. That large group of buildings on the left is not a summer resort exactly, although it is quite a favorite retreat for certain individ- uals who frecjuent it at the invitation and expense of the municipality ! A mile or so and we are off the northern end of Long Island and Nix's Mate, with Galloupe's and Lovell's beyond. It is just here that our course is brought around to N. K. by K. and we are headed straight for Cai)e Ann ; on our right, again, the striking group of the Brewsters swings into view, (ireat. Middle, and Outer: just beyond and over the Middle, looming white in the morning sunlight, stands the tower of Boston Light. "Though if a clouil-shade cliaii;* to dip Upon it a nioiuciit, 'twill suddenly sink, Levelled and lost in the darkened main, Till the sun builds it suddenly up again As if with a rul) of Aladdin's lamp." The broad waters of Massachusetts 15ay open up before, sprinkled with many a flying sail, the line of smoke from a distant steamer deli- cately pencilled along the soft summer sky. Nahant, first to appear of the group of headlands along the North Shore, lifts itself as a kind of promise of much that is to follow. Behind it a golden thread moors it to the land, then melts away on either side in glistening, shining strands, — the beaches of Revere and Lynn. The moving panorama shifts again, and another bold peninsula stretches out along the northern horizon, flanked by the white beaches and glowing bits of ledge of Swampscott on one side, the dim outlines melting into mist on the other. It is Marblehead Neck ; from it to the many spires of Lynn a chain of summer colonies, basking in the mellow light, close on our port the tiny light on l':gg Rock. As the light on the neck comes into full view, " Not far auay we see the port, The strange, old-fashioned, silent town. The lighthouse, the disniantletl fort, The wooden houses, (juaint and i)rown," of Marblehead itself, that delightful old town of song and story, gnarly, knotty, loyal, and conservative. Salem, scarcely less interesting in its picturesqueness, modestly retires to its snug harbor behind Marblehead, and is scarcely discernible through the haze of an early morning, dim ■»£ and shadowy like the tales that Hawthorne wove from the witchery ot Salem's olden time. Indeed how saturated wiih the glamour of romance and tradition is all this northern shore, from Boston ]5ay to Portsmouth town ! How many names dear to New England's heart, or written on fame's fair scroll, are suggested to the mind of the beholder ! From Salem to Ca])e Ann's rocky verge is an almost continuous procession of country villas ; creations of many of the first architects I I -f: ? 01 our day ; homes of elegance, luxury, and refinement. Beverly, Manchester, Magnolia, all of them backed by mile upon mile of bronze green verdure. East- ern Point, another of our favorite haunts, supporting on its baUl front a light, marks the entrance to Gloucester and its ample harbor, from whose remote shelter a score of sail are lazily drifting. For some time past two gray towers ha\e been growing out of the distance, like the dim portals to some mysterious haven, out there be- yond Cape Ann, — " Two pale sisters all alone, ( )ii an island bleak and bare," — the Cape Ann lights of Thatcher's Island, first to the eye of the trans- atlantic pilot, first, also, in their classification and importance, their twin columns rising a hundred and twelve feet skyward, constituting, with Boston Light, the Shoals, and Cape Elizabeth, the great guide- hoards, as it were, from Ho.ston to Portland, It is jiisl here that the steamer's course is shaped, either for Portland or Mastport as the case may be: if for the latter, east by north, to Matinicus laght, if the former, as our present purpose recpiires, then it is for Cape I'dizabeth Light, and within sight of the Isles of Shoals, those " half-dozen frag- ments of wive-worn rock, thrust up from the bottom of the sea, like the cast-off remnants of a continent," that wonderful, sunny archi- pelago, like '• A string; 'if pearls tlicy Hl'oii Ocean's breast, Steeped in a ]anj,'iMt l)niu,L;lit them frciin afar." '["hey, too, have been sung by poets and limned by artists as no other island group along our coast, it seems ([uite apropos that the light- keeper's daughter should ])ossess a poet's soul, shtnild be the annalist and idealizer of its charms and mysteries. 'i'he indefinite and misty shore hne that reaches in a vari-hued arc from ("ape Ann to Cape Neddick we know to be the boundary of three States on the ocean side, the strands to which so many thousands ilee for their breath of salty air and cooling l)ath ; Agamenticus only, the storied hill of York, standing out in strong relief, a sort of beacon to guide the sailor to a safe harbor. This hill had peculiar fascinations to the Indian, a tradition averring that St. Aspencjuid, a prophet and saint of these people, was interred with savage pomp of funeral rites upon its summit ; let us be thankful that its sonorous name still lives, though Charles I. sought to distinguish it with the name of 15oston. Iloon Island and its light, that comes just in line with Agamenticus, stands out in solitary isolation, some ten miles from shore or neighbor. It is about this time when blue coat and brass buttons, assisted by a bell, announces dinner, and an opportunity offers to discover that one can get as perfect service on a steamer as on shore, // he is on the present steamer. Returning tcj (jur picture gallery on deck, nearly three hours of constant delight is experienced prior to arrival off Cape Elizabeth, //v^r'A/^v/ you have not violated the laws of nature by unceremoniously rushing through the bill of fare ! Just here we review the fair summer lands of Scarborough and Old Orchard beaches, curving gracefully arc nd to westward and Wood Island Light farther still to Cape Por- poise and dear old Kennebunk, fifteen miles or so away, every inch of it mouldy \,itli the history of two hundred years and more. Pathetic history, too, some of it, that of decadence from the palmy days of ship- I it; * I I t4 I % ■■'I '$ TO •I x« buildiiii,^ to be awakt'iiL'd again by the advent of " improvement com- panies " with their jinglin,;:; ducats. The twin lights of l'",liz;ibeth, range lights they are called, one a " first-order fixed," the other a tlashing light, are among the finest of our exceptionally fine lighthouse service. We seem to be competent to furnish guidance at any rate, if other powers fiu'nish ships, — something to be grateful for ! This High Head of Cape I'Mizabeth might more aptly be called Cabha^^rlieaJ .' for aside from lighthouses and rock it runs to cabbages, j^ix thousand ions of them raised in one year ! Another cro]) also seems indigenous to this spot, one not as profitable or pleasing to contemplate, one "sown by the tempest, reaped by the whirlwind" as it were, for perhaps no one locality Maine coast-wise has seen so many wrecks. One page alone from the marine diary will suffice, its date Sept. 26, 1SS9, when seven hopeless wrecks strewed Elizabeth and Scarborough shore ! Hut these are not congenial subjects, and while we are retrospecting, Portland Head has "ho\e in sight," its light the first to shine on this coast, dating trom 1 790, and marking one extreme of Casco Uay Seguin the other, and Half-A\'ay its central jioint, or nearly so. l\iss- ing Ram Island, which looks perfectly harmless, we are confronted by the rather imposing Ottiwa Hoijse, charmingly placed on Cushing's Island, the most important resort jjerhaps on the bay. Passing House Island on which Fort Scammel solemnly stands, with Fort Ciorges be- yond, and historic l''ort Preble on our left, we are fairly in Portlana Harbor and before the fair city itself. »3 \M I I ■■?&■ L-tJ^ PORTLAND '>2 "'J"he greatest seaport in the world could iKjt liave a more splen- did or more im])Osing approach," says Drake; and certainly none is more worthy of it than the {''orest City, ([ueen of Maine's munici- ]-)alities, seated on her noble hill, the proud monarch of f;iir Casco Bay and of a harbor unexcelled on the Atlantic seaboard. Her streets, lined and arched by stately elms, fronted by no less stately churches and colonial mansions, suggest her historic past, or recall the memory of her beloved poet, Longfellow ; with her numerous handsome civic and commercial buildings, her " inalienable freehold in pure air, generous sunshine, and the most excjuisite of sea-scajies," It is natural that Tortland should ]^TO\•e attractive to a stranger, and on closer acciuaintance a most "livable" town. Populated by some twoscore thousand souls, the terminal ol several railroad lines, the very heart, indeed, from which numerous rail- way arteries radiate, north, cast, and west to the great seaside resorts of Maine, the White Mountains, and the woods, lakes, and streams of the north, and of course the first maritime city east of Boston, the temptation is strong to dwell on such a congenial subject much more than our limited space allows. Portland has a history too, a rich and savory one ; dating from its incorporation as Falmouth in 1658, re-incorporated as I'ortland in 1 786, known also to the savage as Machi- gonne. Such names as Munjoy, Bramhall, Preble, Cleves, and a score of others keep alive the memories of those whose valor or greatness has made history. Of course every one will wish to find the old house of Peleg W'adsworth, he of Castine fame, and grandfather of the jwet, standing near the hardly less venerable Preble House, and the birth- place of the poet on Fore Street. The antiquated eastern cemetery will furnish material for a good day's rummaging among its moss grown stones and tablets. Some hot naval engagements have taken place off Portland, that of the " Boxer " and " Enterprise " in 18 14 leading the list. She also enjoys the distinction of being the only Northern port visited by rebels during the I f I 2 ■n Civil War, sacrificing by that daring feat her cutter " dishing." Portland, too, has been tried by fire, that famous disaster of July 4, 1S66, wip- ing out nearly one half the city, and explaining the air of newness in its western section, enhancing perhaps the value of the historic re- mains, revealing too the significance of its seal, the phcenix rising from ashes and bearing the legend, " Resurgam." lint the views, yes, and s/n-// views ! those of liramhall's and Miin- joy's hills, or " Western and Ivistern promenades," as they are now known ; from one, — 4. 1 I " Tlir sweep i)f a luist of niountaiiis, The llash nf a huiulred rills"; I Stroudwater and I'resumpcott winding through their evergreen beds, and the White Mountains scarce sixty miles away ; and from the other, the fairy archipelago of Casco liay, — no, it is not strange that our poet often recurs to the fair home of his youth : — ' ( iftc'ii I tiiink of the beautiful town That is seated by the sea; ( tflen in thought go up and down The pleasant streets of that dear old town. And my youth conies back to me"; ur lluit m;iny of (.iir writiis Iclt drawn lo ils iinitiii); sliadcs. (Joiilil there be mentioned any eityof New Mngland more desirable as a sum mer resort? A temperature always mild ; a breath from the sea ever moving ; an Inexhaustible list of excursion trips always in. hand ; a social life that is eminently charmin},' and desirable ; and a Public Library of great value. It is but twelve miles from the eityof Portland to ( )ld Orchard licach, and the train delivers its jjassengers directly in the miilst of one of tile liveliest seashore scenes in the world. The beach is but a hundred yards distant, its .yreat combiufi surf line making itself known at once. 'The largest hotels upon the coast of Maine are here, and in\ ite a sojourn. Old Orchard ranks with ("ape May and .Atlantic City in po])ularity with summer guests. It may be reached on the day of departure from Boston, in season for a six-o'clock tea, by the ocean day line in con- nection with trains at the Portland Union Station. The reader may fmd all this and a host of other valuable sugges- tions in Mlwell's (luide to the city.

A momentary jiassage between the gray walls on the starboard and the green banks on the ])ort side of Cushing's and Peak's Islands, and we are met by one of those visions of beauty that only the coast of Maine reveals, — " Bays resplendent as the heaven, Starred and fjenimed hy thousand isles, (lird thee; Casco with its islets, (Juoddy with its dimpled smiles," — melting into the golden distance of a late summer afternoon. Drake, in his " Pine 'I'ree Coast," uses the ai)t illustration of a l)loughed field for this remarkable bay, the ocean having filled the fur- rows, and produced a crop of some two hundred and twenty or more isles, all trending like the furrows in a northeasterly direction. It would be madness to attempt to name all the islands in sight, the more ])rominent beyond Peak's Island being I.ong, (Ireat Chebeague, Hope, Jewell's, and the two tiny specks of inner and outer Green, near which latter rises a bare rock known by the euphonious title of •' the hunk of pork." The commander of one of the steamcs tells us of a gunner who, deprived of his boat by the rising tide, found very scant sustenance from this same porcine morsel during a long November day and night. By the way, how much the enjoyment of a sea trip is enhanced by a cheery and communicative captain, such, for instance, as will be found on the steamers of the International line ! 15 I ■A ■'I fail fy ''lit to rciiiw uiir l(>iv»n *n j{f»»j;t |il»y, at'icr p.i^sia;^ llu- (Irccii Islands, llriKid Sound opens on ll '■ left, ami I yoiid, MerrifoniMKMC SoiMid witli llarpsweirH Not k on its left.

K New liiunswick, the first city, ot C'anaihan shipown- ing cities also the first, with a population of some fifty thousand, and a history dating from the early seventeenth century, St. John is not distinctively i'.nglish or, indeed, Canadian, in its characteristics or outw;)rd appearance. It is even denominated the American city, in contract with Halifax, which is quite Knglish ; but for all that, the visitor from "the States" finds miich tliat is new to him in the minor details of life ; perhaps nowhere so markedlv as in the universal courtesy of its jieople, of whatever class, and the good quality of the language one hears everywhere, not alone here, but throughout JMiglish-speaking Canada. 'rhere are a great number of hotels in St. John, — a tact which is true of nearly all Provincial cities. There are also among them some very comfortable ones. Your " Appleton " or"Ticknor" will direct you, fiist of all, very in-operly, to see the falls and graceful suspension bridge, whi(di are the great " ^how pieces" of the town. h. John can boast of at least one novelty without duplicate, — the '• reversible fall," ;'s it has been hap- jiily called, - a phenomenon for which the Fundy tides are responsible.

The l)nsin<'ss interests centre around the shi]i|iinL;, as one niiglit itna,L,Mne ; lumber in vast (luantities from the river country northward is exported, lime is also at. itnportant item when trade relations are fa- vorable with the StateN. Naturally this is a trade centre for all C'entral and S(jitthern New I'.runswick, and the types of littiibermati, Indiati, tarmer, or llsherinati that one oftens meets are striking and pictiiros(|ue to a degree. Of course no otie would think of leaving St. b)hn without first tak- ing the charming steamer trip to l'"redericton up the river, nor any less the trossach-like waters of Kennebecasis River. When one does leave, there is always the choice of following the Intercolonial Railway to the eastern Provitices. Prince I'ldward or Cape ISreton Islatids, or of crossing the ba\' to the l.itid of Evangeline, Aimapcdis N'allev, and Halifax by the l'>a\- of I'undy bine. While verv charming and soothitig in its pas- River St. John, toral meanderings, it is a tritle far fetched to call this ^.treain the " Rhine of America." To say that a river has an itidi\iduality and charm ail its own is the greatest praise one can be>tow. It seems that this can be said very truthfully in that the St. lohn cannot be cotnpared to atiy other. If the valley of the Aimai)olis is the " garden of No\a Scotia," then i> this also the garden of New linmswick. and a \ery large garden at that.

Having shaped our cuurse northwest, and left behiml the narrow gateway to the (Irand Bay, which opens here, and leads the delighted eye for ten miles over its smiling surface, to rolling hills and fair farms, which line the banks here on either side. On the inmieiliate right- hand shore, standing defiantly at the entrance to Keimebecasis May, is ISoar's Head, its bristly summit justifying its name, (leologists e.\- l)lain that the ri\er in prehistorii times fotmd the sea by two channels, (jne through the South Bay over on our left, the other, \ ia l\ennebe<'asis' loxeiy reach and the valley between St. John Citv and Portland's Heights. The last-mentioned bay, as described elsewhere, is in picturescpie charms fully up to the promise it gives as seen from the steamer's deck. The river (raft encountered on this tidal lake ujion which we are sailing is entertaining and even amusing to a great degree, for it is not uncommon to meet or pass here a half-dozen or more schooners of varied model and rig, some in tow and some undiT sail : old relics in the way of steamers wheezily tugging long rafts of logs from the upper river, with now and then a hay barge la/ily sauntering down with the tide, and half a score of tugs and pleasure craft that are always in at- tendance ujjon such a nautical assembly as we have mentioned. The Star Line thoughtfully issues a \ery good (jutline map ot the river from its mt)uth to I'Vedericton. With this in hand one (-an- 42 ^, im J? locale I'vory di-tail dI" the |ii(:tuiOM|UL' trip.

We find on our map as souvenirs of a former visit to l'"redericton and the voyage therei:' .iiany shorthand notes and hieroglyphics which we venture to inter])ret for the reader. .\t the licad of the (irand Hay is a most attractive little hotel and cluster of cottages, known as Helyea's, a resort of many St. John people, and, we are told, a very (omfortable nook for a summer rest. It is just here the river makes another turn and a great sweej) directly northeast, revealing the " Long Reach," with its nevvvariety of scene, hold hills and golden marshes alternating. The tiny white lighthouse at ilelyea's places itself, with almost con- scious effect, very sketchahly in front of the noble "Devil's liack," though why the devil got his back iijt so high as four hundred and fifty feet is not e.xplained ! That dark person is responsible for some very striking scenic effects, here as elsewhere. The eight landings between Melyea's and Sterret's are //^'/ all land- ings so it would appear, for the interesting method of leaving mails cv passengers obviates that tormality : here, the signal from steamer calls from the shore a wherry or row-boat which draws up by the slowing steamer, a foMing pair of steps is dropped, the transfer is made, and we are on our wav in a moment. This is only one of many primitive and ipiaint customs met with all the way of the journey. (Ireenwich Hill or I'itts' Landing is another spot to hire a saunterer. ( )ak Point, with its " grassy island '" lUiating on the lu.l siream. is (piite character- istic of the river. The " Mistake " is best explained by the i)ilot who has sailed three miles behind its marshv ooint only to retrace his course again. The glimpses both fc and an, at this jx' at, are es])ecially pleasing, not to say beautiful. 'Ihe course now ( hanges to north, the river narrowing and growing.' m'l ni«ore tortuous, threading its way among i-lands, and b<)un<;«': are spread with fertile fields of vari- colored produce, the frur of the happ\ farmers who are so fortunate as to possess tii-ni.

Here one sees the long-pointed bayous or "dug-outs," of the lumbermen, the raft huts and curious stern- wheelers of the upper river, and catches refreshing sniffs of the odor from new lumber, that leaxes a narrow passage only for the steamer as it threads its wav and brings into view the spires of lo\ely Fredericton. It is doubtful if in all the Provinces there is a more Fredericton. delightful town than fredericton, city, we should say. I'he impression first recei\ed is abundantly connrmed bv chiser ac(]uaintance. Its streets are beautifully laid out, shaded generously by the American elms that grow so i)ro:ligally all through the \alley. Its public, educational, and ecclesiastical l)uildings are numtTou> and e^peciallv hanil>omr. Its Ixitels are wellnigh perfect ; and a charming en\iromnent of natural beaut\- (oiubinul with numer- ous avenues of access and egress make it in all wavN goodl\- to look upon. It is the centre of a vast firming ( nunlry, the distributing jioint for great lumber tracts, the centre of numerous rail lines, a notetl cotton manufacturing town, and the seat of Provincial government, as well as normal sidiool, university, and militia. I'lie social atmo>i)here is nat- urally ot a liigh order, and a generalK progre-i-ive idea seems to ])er- \At]v the rt sidents.

The tourist here makes choice of returning to St. John by rail, of continuing on by the curious " stern-wheelers " (if it be high water) to Woodstock, of branching off by rail along the wilds of the Mirami- clii to Newcastle, there nieetin_g the Intercolonial Line, or of continuing north by rail to \Voodstock. the regions of wild Tobique, mentioned elsewhere, or the sublime scenery of (Irand Falls and the upper St. John. I'he scenery along the upper river is \aried by many rugged peaks and wooded hills, attaining its greatest novelty at the mouth of the Pokiok Ri\er. the outlet of Lake St. Ceorge, where a wikl cascade comes tearing through rocky walls for several hundred feet. At Can- terbury is the portage to Clhiputneticook lakes and the St. Croix, at Kent a portage to Miramichi's waters, and at Andover the head(juarters for cmoeists about to take the 'rol)i(|uc trip.

The fall is a perpendicular one of seventy-three teet, and is set in a landsca])e oi jieculiar effectixeness. dull rocks and deep e\crgreens e\ ervwhere makim; a contrast to its llashinu' lights, 'i'he gorL^e below, through which the ri\er rushes in ( easeless turmoil, is marked by many curious evi(len( es of the torrent's power, — the " Coffee Mill" beside the channel grinding eternally, the •' '\'\'ells, " worn drill-like into the ledge, and linallv. the huge basin at the lower end receiving the troubled waters into its placid depths. The little village of (Irand Falls is a st'vly in itself: the (|uaint hotel, whi( h, b\ the wav, is comfortable if vou tare to tarry, the pros\' but broad street connecting railway and cataract, and a hetero- geneous ])opulation of Indian.

Near]\- all of these small streams are full of tro'it, and give good returns to the rod that reaches them. The regions beyond diese streams, and but a few miles from 'he railway, are essentially an unexplored wildernei^s, full of large game, nnd the wildest jjossible scenery. River, penetrated for fifteen miles by a l)ran( h railway, The Tobique has certain elements of the grand and picturescpie not possessed by any other I'mviiicial stream. It runs through a mountain grouj) of astonishing grandeur, a ])ortion or con- nection of the Alleghany system, they seemingly assert their relation- ship bv ajipearing in abru])t and striking forms. The lilue Mountain range on the lower side attains an altitude of eighteen hundred feet. Sixty miles from its con- fluence with the St. John, Tobicpie "forks" into four small streams. At this \)nm[ is a huge salmon ])ool in which fifty-four beauties ha\ e been actually counted at one time. The right and left I)r.inches ha\e good fish- ing, the latter more espe- cially in trout. S(ime twenty miles below I'erlh, at the little station of Kent, one can secure guides, and in fifteen nnks of driving reach the tributaries of the Miramichi, where some of the be>t salmon fishing of the Province may be enjoyed. The Soutiiwesl, Northwest, Little Southwest, and S.ivogle branches are all irood. 'I'he fish are not large but exceedingly gamy. 'J'hese streams are said, by Mr. Philip ('o\ of Newcastle, N. I!., to be early, fish enteiiiig them last of May and continuing till late Septem- ber. Eighteen thousand se\en hundred salmon were taken from these streams in one year, and that within i\\v years. Fishing ])rivileges on these strer.ms are mostly held liy the owners of the lands. The Nash- w,\ak River, entering St. |ohn just above l''redericton, contains some CiUport, i,ri!se mav be taken in ahuost anv of the smaller tributaries, and sea trout arc plenty in mo>t of the streams uitcring Miraiv.ichi or Kouchihouguac bays, east of Newcastle. Shiiijiing can pc ctralc nearly fifty miles inland, by the Miramichi, and canoes fur two hundred or more. following the Intercolonial through fifty miles of Chaleurs Bay uninteresting country to liathurst, we are introduced and to the liaies de Chaleurs, that magnificent arm of t'.e Jacquet River, ocean around which cling st) many legends and super- ^titions. iJatliurst itself is a most inviting-looking town, and has one hotel, at least, th.it may well claim to be a smnmer resort, h iving a charming situation on the \erv edge of the bay. The ..■ ionaventure, and out over the beautiful Chaleurs (that bewitch- ing expanse) the towering cliffs of Tracadiegash at (lasp^. Steamer trips are made to the bit of France out yonder, where all the (]uaint customs and dress of the Breton fishermen are retained, to a large degree. The Indian name for this bay is I'xketuam Xemaache, meaning "a sea of fish " ; exceedingly apropos it is, too. Dalhousie is practically at the mouth or estuary of the famed Restigouche. At Campbellton, a few miles above, and, in fact, all the way along the rail route is had an inspiring view of the waters, an almost primeval mountain forest lying beyon;!, the little settlement of Indian Point sleeping at their feet, near the historic ruins of Petite Rochelle. The Intercolonial have chosen this view, quite wisely, as the subject for a picture, whose reproduction has recently been accomplisheil. 53 Tlu' same good t.iste selcrteil the (|iiitr ideal " meeting of the waters" just al)o\e tor a similar jjurpose. We could scarcely do better tlian to take The Restigouche. hodily Mr. Kilby Reynolds's description of tiiis king of salmon streams and reprint it here, con- taining, as it does, ^o much of fact and suggestion ; we shall beg Ids indulgence for a littk' "cribbing." lirietly stated, this ri\er is two liun- dred miles long, draining with its tributaries niort' than two thousand Sipiare miles, a Ian 1 of mountain and vale, primeval forest and smiling meadow : flowing from silent spring lakes and leaping cascades, ])ur- suing a tortuous course, full of "runs" and torrents, to wander with silent content out into the green leagues of Chaleur. Its swift currents are la-hed by a thousand thousand leai)ing trout, its silvery bed mot- tled by the silent shadows of lusty salmon. There are many conflicting interpretations of this Indian name, one with imaginative ta>te making it " l''ive- lingered Kiver," appro- priately ; another, quite ])Ositi\ely, ([noting old missionary chronicles, •• RIn er of the Long War." Whatever it means, it is a noble stream, and th^- ec>ta.-.y of a true sportsman. Regarding its fishing, nearly all the best pools are hekl by lessees, prin'',ipally the Re--tig(juche Salmon (.'lub and a few other American ^'.-ndernen.

Splendid trout fishing prevails in the streams entering the south shore of St. J.awrence River, the St. .Anna's ranks high as a salmon stream also. .At Cacouna is the great and po])ular resort of St. Lawrence Hall, perhaps the most famous watering place in Canada, with its splendid beaches, noble St. Lawrence panorama, and pure bracing air. At Riviere du Loup, near by, steamers of the Saguenay and St. I,awrence River lines touch, affording another rare excursion up either of these famed waters, and e\ en to the wilds of Lake St. John in the far north. Here a^o is connection made with the Canadian Pacific for (irand Falls and other points of interest along the river and to the city of St. John, or back to St. Andrews and St. Stei)hen mentioned heretofore. Some forty-five miles or more eastward from Riviere du Loup and two or three miles from St. Fabien station is a group of lakelets con- taining quantities of trout which are said to accept bait or lly from early June till late August, and at the next station is Bic, "little IJic," the acme of all an artist or wonder seeker could desire, with its great cliffs, picturesciue islands, and entrancing vistas of St. Lawrence scenery.

The regions about the head waters of the streams we have men- tioned, as also the forests of Cumberland, Colchester, Halifax, and Ciuysborough, Nova Scotia, or \'ictoria and Inverness in Caj^e JSreton, are noted moose and caribou grounds, and with [iroper guides will i-ji^ not disappoint the },niiiniT. 'Ilie cljse season on these is, Nova Scotia, Feb. I to Sept. 15 ; New I'.runswick, Feb. 15 to Aiif;. ,^i, on deer as well; in (Jiiebei, I'"eb. i to Se|)t. 1, and of deer, Jan. i to Oct. 1. No one person is allowed to take more tlian two moose and four cari- bou in any one year or season. The flesh is to be carried out of the woods within ten days after killing, and game killed during th" latter part of January shall be carried out during the first five days of Febru- ary. The penalty for the violation of these provisions is from $t,o to S50, and a fine of S25 is imposed for hunting with dogs. Woodcock must not be killed before sunrise or after sunset. lUue-winged duck must not l)e taken between the first days of .April and August. The amiual licenses for non-residents e.xpire on the isi of August. They cost iri^^o each. There are, also, other details regarding (iuantit\ , manner of killing, diessing, etc., which the interested can find from tlie Intercolonial and ^^'indsor and Annapolis Railway guides, or the government publica- tions. New Ikuiiswick is doing much of late to enforce her laws on seining and spearing, as well as restocking her streams, but Nova Scotia needs a vigorous stirring u[) on this (piestion. At present there are in the latter Province but one or two really good salmon streams, while there are very many good trout and sea-trout streams along her coast line.

HH Inlenolc/iiial Railway carries the traveller tweKe or tjiirteen miles eastward to the landiiiijof the I'riiiee Mdward Jslaiid .\a\igation Company, at Point dii ("hene, where c(jmmodious new steamers cross the Straits of Northumberland. We pass on the way the attractive town of Shediac, where bathing can actually l)e enjoyed in mild waters, and oysters of most delicate !|uality served galore in every style. I'roni Point du (hene to Summer.iide it is thirty- five miles of ». dice and Iri^islature, the smallest of the cuiifedcration. Tiiis ti-ht Httle island, the "Carden of Canada" it is called, is thirty-four miles by one liiiiidred and fifty, and it would seem that not a foot of its area was nii|)roductive, for it has no lofty hills, no rocks, and little forest, with a ri'h red loam that responds , generously to the hand of the cadlivator. It is evident why the natives should be dubbeil " Redfeet," but not a> explainable that New-lSrunswickers are called " i'.uckwlieats," or N(jva-Scotians " iiluenoscs," but they ha\e all accepted their nick- names philosophically as becomes the true Cmadian. 'i'hc island has evidently been appreciated from the firs'., for it has suffered an almost ceaseless dispute over the land (juestion for nearly a century. Discovereil by ("abot, vvho named it St. lohn, the llnglish fuliui^ to take jjossession, it was claimed by the I'rench in 152:;, who established fisheries. 'The treaty of Fontainebleau !j;ave the island to (ireat Ihitain, who ^ave it its present name. 'I'he two millions or mcjre acres were divided into sixty-six lots aiid awarded to as many grantees ; the usual difticailties between a bxMJ -oNernment and a king's governor followed, resulting in a drawn battle. 'The purchase by colonial government and redistribution of lands under di>i)Ute only par- tidly scjlved the problem, which now seems decided by the conditions reipiired since the island ioined the confederation. Since the union with the Provinces in iSjj;, and the building of a railroad through llu' inland, prosperity seems to have grown ap-ace. ( )f course, agriculture is the one great industry, its prolucts exported to the amount of f)ver a million dollars ; its fisheries next, with an export of nearly a half-million dollars value. .\ sta_\- of however short dura- tion re\eals the tact that the Kedfeel have guilen product-, in (|uan- titv and (piality unexcelled anywhen-. Oysters, al^o, of a peculiarly delicate ibu'or, are raked from the shores of many bays, ha\ing a reputation all over (Canada. As the steamer approaches the island, the lust Summerside. land lighted is the headland of Cape i:gmnnt. in the fir north, after which the coiu->e leads into iledecpie lla\' and tlu' b'i>\ shipbuilding town of S'lmmer^ide. In this harbor lies a picturescpie little i-.land at the mouth of the I >uiik Ki\ er. which has bei'H for se\eral \earM|uitea resort, with its hotel and wood-y roads. Prince l'.dw,:r.l NIand is but three miles wide just here, the bay of Richmond peijetraling to that |)oint on the other side. .\ little trip b\- rail to 'rigiii-h will rt'veal the ipiaint settlements inland and alongshore of Scotch and Irish origin, and the jia-tcUMl beauties so eh, ir.ict eristic ot the whole islam I.

With all of its local attractions, Charlottetown offers a series of delight- ful land and water excursions and a host of fishing waters that are truly remarkable. Steamers run three times a week to (Jrwell, on the east- ern shore of llill^bjro' I!ay, twice weekly to West River, a good sea- trout fishing water, and nearly every day to Rocky Point.

'I'o re;ich Nova Scotia and Cape lircton by rail one leaves Moncton by the Intercolonial, passes through Painsec Junction, and then is carried with a swirl southward along the Memranicook and out on the great marshes of the same name. It is not too much to declare this marsh land the most impressive on Canadian territory, if not on the continent. Near Memranicook station and from thence to I )orchester it reaches its full grantleur, the broad and sim])le planes, l)roken here and there by the tidal river, or the clustering haystacks, and beyond the (piite iairoi-ean settlement of St. Joseph's College on a low hill dominating the picture. At Dorchester, Sheiiody Bay is encountered, the ujiper extremity of Chignecto Channel, an arm of Fundy. It is here and also at Amherst, a few miles fartlier beyond, that the tides pile themselves to such tremendous heights, sixtv feet being the maximum ; here also the I'ititcodiac and Meuiramcook waters meet. Dorchester is an attrac- tive old town, is jjossessed of much wealth and stately homes, but at present seems to be taking a somewhat lengthy nap : this is rather i)leas- ing than otherwise, however, to a tourist. Sackville pcjssesses what is lacking in Dorchester, — much jnish and activity, less attractiveness and i]uaintness : shipbuilding is the all-abscubing occupation, the ring t)f the mallet re-echoing from the hillsides all along the north shore of Cumberland Basin, which lies to the southward. From Sack\ille a branch railwax runs across the fertile conntrv of Westmoreland County to Ca]>e Tounnentine, on the Norfhuiaberland Strait, the winter port of Prince I'.dward Island boat>. From Sack- ville, also, the train glides out on the great marshes of 'I'ar-tramar, the Tintaiiia; re of the l'"rench, signif\ing " a hubbub,'' a r.aine well illus- trated at the incoming or outgoing of the tide. I'his vast area is re- claimed by dikes, and at the head of the mar^h is one of the greatest plover grounds in Canada. This region is liistoric ground, the scene of those stirring events so fascinatingly jjictured by Paikman. 'I'he httle Missiguash River just beyond Aulac station was made by the French the dividing line be- tween their territory and that of the I'.nglish, ])Ianting old Fort r>eau- sejour, now Fort Cumberland, just here to defend their claim. A little below are the remains of the opposing I'"urt Lawrence, back of which stood the Acadian settlement of Jh^'iN/'assin. 'i'he tiny stream still serves as the boundary of two jirovmces, and as we cross it we enter the land of the " IJluenose," the storied soil of Acadi.i, and shortly after pull up at Amherst station, .\mherst, aside from rich agricultnral and mining interests, is noticeable as the western terminal of the great Chignecto Marine Railway that was to be, and whose interrupted works are pas.'-^^d a mile or twi> before enterirg the town. From here also runs a funny liitl' rniiang railway to the Joggins, on Cumber- land Ikisin, the same of jo-f^ins rafc fame, and even more notabie to geologists for its rich fossil K;a, sins -leuig the cliffs that line the shore. Evidences of coal mining are frequent about here, for this is the renowned Cumberland coal distvi I, one of the richest among Nova Scotia's rich mining }K)Ssessions. Of the nearly two million tons of coal mined annually in Nova Scotia, these mines contribute some hal!- ni!lMon,or about one fourth. Along the line, at numerous points, spurs of railway run off to i.iines in either direction ; while at Spring Flill juncti /i, the Cumberlanvl Railway runs across to Parrsborough and the Basin of Minas, into certainly one of the most romantic bits of coun- try in allth.' Provinces, indeed, we should name it among four or five sections as e^j'ecially worthy the traveller's attention. A further de- scription of Minas will be found under the head of Nova Sco/ia, else- where. At Oxford Junction again, another branch railway of the Inter- colonial runs out over the rich country of Tatamagouche and Pictou, returning to the main line at New Clasgow. From Wentworth the train begins a long climb of several miles up the slope of the Cobe- quid Mountains, that line the northern shore of the picturesque bay of the same name. The outlook, which has been monotonous and limited, now opens into a landscape of irresistible beauty ; one of quiet pastoral charm, as seen from a high mountain ; stretching away for miles toward the strait, reaching its climax with the enthusiasm of the beholder near Folly Lake, a little eye set in its deep mountain socket six hundred feet above the sea. From I'olleigh the locomotive and its followers enjoy a toboggan 66 coast for some ten miles out into the open country, overlooking the extremest eastern waters of Fundy. which is at the head of Cobequid IJay, is a charming Truro, town ; large, prosperous, aristocratic looking, in fact, to Nova Scotia what Fredericton is to New IJrunswick, the most attractive of its size. It possesses a remarkably pretty park and ih : most varied assortment of drives across mountain or marsh, and i'.et'ds, we must add, a ,i,w^addeck antl ^\'hycoconlagh to the Narrows, thence back by rail to Mulgrave. i: '^^^^it^?\.^ 69 'rHK HRAS li'dU I AKKS, SNPM-A, HlSlnNiC !,()l 1-^I!''K(;, r.AhliKCK, ANIi TUK i.K'KAT Ndklll ^,V1|,I)E!hysi(al aspect of Caijc P.reton, a trille over one hundred tiiiU-s in lenj,nh, nearly eighty in width, and ail hut divided through tlie iwuUWc by the waters of the famous Hras d'Or lakes, the division having been completed by the fine canal of St. Peter's, making an exceedingly attractive route for steamers between St. Pierre Island, Newfoundland, and Halifax. These lakes also torm the natural boundary between very distinct and opposite landscape features, that of the northern being mountainous and exceedingly romantic, the southern low and comparatively uninteresting. The mineral resources have recently been brought to our notice through the great enterprise of the Dominion Coal Company, with H. M. Whitney at its head. (lypsum is also a staple ant! important prod ict as well ar, a striking feature in the landscape. Of the nearly ninety thousand inhabitants, over ten thousand are ''Ugaged in fi,hing. We cannot but believe that when C'ajje P>reton becomes better known it will rank as one of the great summer resorts of .America. Increasing railroad and steamer fiicilities are making this possible, while the unrivalled climate, unique land and water-scape beauty, and unlimited opportimity for sport and recreation make it more than probable. By this time we are fairly within T.cnnox Passage, with evidences on every hand of the l-'rench who inhabit Isle Madame, and cruise u]) and down the shores in their Frenchy-looking schooners and fishing smacks. Passing through the great government canal of Bras d'Or Lakes. St. Peter's, the course lies among closely bordering shores and irregular coves and headlands for some six or eight miles. The large and quaint settlement of the Mic- rnac Indians is passed midway, its white Catholic Church standing out as a landmark for some miles. It is on these islands on St. .Anne's day that the Indians hold a religious encampment, with ceremc uirJs and processions of i very unique kind, — a pilgrimage to keep alivi' the faith among the faint hearted. A tiny white lighthouse at Cape Ceorge marks the entrance to St. Peter's Inlet, or, in our case, the exit. Spread before the delighted eyes are the Hashing waters of the C.reat Uras d'Or. Nearly twenty miles across, on the right, reaching its golden arm far into the island, lies East Bay ; on the other hand, the island-studded waters of West Bay : the two making a salt inland sea of fifty miles in length, and some- thing like three hundred sijuare miles area. 71 |)irc'(tlv .ilu'.nl is tlic nulilf lull ui Uni.K .ulir. iil its kit the Slrait of lianas, ur ('.rand Narrows; over Wi'st Ilav.

The taking of Loui^hurg by a raw aiiny of recruits and Nohmteers of New Kngland in 1745 is one of the mar\els of military history, a sur]")rise to the world, an everlasting memorial tu the \alor and pluck of sturdy Capt.

If there is one trij) to be named above an- Bras d'Or again, other on llie island, it is that of the steamer from Sydney to Uaddeck, W'hycogomagh, or (irand Narrows via (Ircat IJras d'( )r. l.ea\ ing Sydney at a comfortable hour in the morning, the " Marion " crosses to the thriving rival town of North Sydney, and then puis out to sea past the red cliffs of Cranberry Head, with its great smoke-stacks and (olliery elevators, the work;; of the Sydney mines, and aroinid the giant blocks and columns of Point Aconi. 'i'hen the course lies sotithwest into the narrow jiortal of (Ireat P>ras d'Or, ])ast the >andy bar that all but closes the entrance, and up close under the shadow of Kelly's Mountain, which here rises twelve hundred feet abo\e the co\e bearing the same name. There are u'.any conjectures as to the origin of this ''Ann of i'lOliL" We prefer loaccejit it as aii evidence of the imaginati\e ([Uali- ties of the lireton settlers who gave tiie name : its a|)propriateness is manifest to him w!io tor tlu first time looks upon the "greater arm." P>om the entrance to the end ol' the chaimel near liaddeck, the waters seklom exceed a iriile m width, in one place less than a hall'-mile, and are ONcrlooked b\ the wild summits of the lOnglishtown Mountains, and dotted by many wooded l>lcs. In two or three instances the stn- l)endous chalk cliffs disclose themsebes from tln'ir forest surroundings, like marble [uihu c's m a primeval wilderness. At the broadest portion of Little T.ras d'Or Lake a bay Baddeck. runs up auo the hills, at the entrance of which stands the hnest residence on the island, the summer home of Prof. Bell, the imentor of the American telephone ; on the other side, be- hind a foiest-c()\ered island and its bghthouse, a straggling town with spires outlined ii-ainst dark hills . it is Paddeck, known to all well- read Americans through Charles Dndlev Warner's " Paddeck and that Sort of Thm::." 76 ^ rn limits tion l)e- five mil- lie I)un- lunteers istory, a (1 ])lutk uvc an- er from -rand hour in f Vorth ry Head, i of the ii' I'oint To this out of the way, ])riniitivf, i)icturesque town have cume a few cultured Americans, who are forming a social nucleus to which will be added the choicest spirits of the resort that is to be.

The origin of this odd name is the Indian " I'.edek," adapted by I'rench as J>edev, better, a journey afoot, depending on the warm and homely hos- pitality of the (laelic settlers, reveals a mode of living llipt for absolute priniitiveness is nowhere eipialled on our continent.

Not less interesting are the Mi( mac Indians, who i)itch their wigwams on the hillside at lladdeck, their i^ermanent settlements being at Indian Co\ e and at Escasoni near (Irand Narrows. Lea\ ing IkuUlcck and following the steamer route Whycocomagh. through St. Patrick's Channel and Little Narrows leads one to the western extremity of the lake, and into the trossach scenery of the bay and town of Whycocomagh. If its name is a stumbling-block, let nothing else deter from finding it out. !t is a gem of purest quality, a bit of Scotland, it would seem, im- jiorted with the hardy Scot as a reminder of his native bens and lochs. l''rom here are reached the inland lake of Ainslie, and the trout streams that llow from and into it ; more distant are the Gulf shore towns and coal areas so(jn to be reached by rail of Port Mood and Mabou, and away u]i north in far Inverness County the French Acadian fishing port of Cheticamp. It may not be amiss to add that in this town, which the natives call " Hogo- mah " for bre\ity, is a (.omforta- ble and attractive hotel, tluit provides all the game delicacies in their season.

Close by the railway are the indistinct remains of the ancient town, willows marking the line of the street, an old well, the village square ; o\er the meadows at llirton landing is the shore whence sailed the exiled band. Passing through the village, with here and there a home built by Puritan settlers, and their (luaint colonial church, one soon reaches the summer home of Judge Weatherbee, "St. luilalie," grace- fully named, where Gaspereaux River again is seen, and indistinct traces of the highway of the Acadians, winding down to the vale " Amid its yellowing sea of flowers," a few gnarled apple-trees pre- served by loving hands, remnants of broken homes. " Ye exilelomidon from all sides are obtained. The latter company's steamer runs out under the cape, and around it into full view of the entire basin. Across the bay are the noble Cobequid Moun- tains, Sugar Loaf dominating the range; at their feet the glowing red- dish and white masses of the Five Islands, and great cliffs of Frazer's Head, especially interesting to an artist or geologist. Following the shore westward the eye rests on distant I'arrsboro' first, then on Par- tridge Island, Cape Sharp, Ram Mead, fully sustaining its right to such a name, and far away the receding curves of (Ireville 15ay, from out which looms the majestic headlands of Cape Spencer and Cap D'Or, terminals of the great ])eninsula of Cumberland County. When midway of the basin, lilomidon discloses all the columns of its basaltic formation, clothed, as befits a kingly form, in purple hues; 86 ■.S«X-' •V,-" adjoining it is still another gigantic freak of nature, Cape Split, a detached column of rock like a monument to some fallen aboriginal war- rior, defying all time and elements. Between it and Cape Sharp, less than three miles away, the savage currents of incoming and outgoing tides snarl and roar. Eveiy thing here is on a mag- nificent, scale. Little wonder that i; should have been the home of Gluskap, to the Indian's fancy, and the scene of many of his wondrous carousals and feats 1 Arriving at Parrsboro', the visitor will find a comfortable hotel, and should spend time enough to drive along the truly remarkable shores to Kconomy on one side, and Advocate Harbor on the other, and the great coal mines inland.' ; Rail connection is from here made with the Intercolonial — as noted in a ^former section — at Spring Hill lunction. <^7 .^^' ^'^.,^^.^ •■ Leaving (Irand I'rc or Wolfville the route leads through Windsor, the busy little shipbuilding town of Ilantsport, where one may see oftentimes a score of vessels reclining at various angles on the muddy banks, or tloatmg well up to the level of the marshes, as the tide may determine, crosses the l)rf)ad waters of the Avon and stops at one of the most interesting and beautiful towns in Nova Scotia, Windsor. Of course every guide-book ever written tells you that "Sam Slick " lived here, that on the hill near the station stand the block house, magazine, and barracks of I'\)rt iMlwanl, with Annapolis' ruins the possession of the Crown : that King's College, oldest of iOngland's colonial universities, is here, dating from i 790, and that it was one of the oldest and largest of the Acadian settlements ; but it cannot convey to you the subtle charm of the landscape, attaining iis fullest expres- sion as seen from the college grounds, nor put into adecpiate English the foreign air that ]iervades the place ; in the latter respect 't ap- proaches Halifax, from which it is distant forty-six n>iles. One's first impression of Windsor may not be pleasing, as the old portion near the river is more picturesque than tidy ; its post-office and court house are promises of better things to come. It will be a matter of surprise to l^:arn that this is third among shipown- ing towns in Canada, and that its gold mine, a few miles south, is actually a pay- ing investment. The most novel effects of the tides are again seen here. \\'arner remarked that he "never knew before how much water adds to a river ! " It niav not be amiss to mention that one S9 of Canada's first poets, widely read in tiie United States, C. (). D. Roberts, lias his home here, occuppying the chair of English Literature in King's College. The journey hence to Halifax is not interesting although brief, leading through wilderness and flat lands. This interesting city deserves a long and complete chap- Halifax, ter by itself, and it is fitting that it should serve as a climax to all that has gone before. Its chief interest to the visit- ing American is its decided English tone and aspect ; in this particular it is perhaps more individual than any other Canadian city, save Mon- treal. Possessed of one of the finest harbors of the world, finer than any on the Atlantic coast at least, and with a system of fortifications most complete and redoubtable in the New World, Halifax is easily queen of the northern seas and secure from the attacks of any maritime power. Though less ancient than the port of La Have on the southern shore, and less rich in history, Halifax had the advantage in 1 749 of beginning its existence with a colony of over twenty-five hundred, which in six months had grown to five thousand, and in 1894 some- thing like ten times as many souls. It is beautiful for situation, over- looking its harbor and the Bedford Basin in either direction, and graced by many solid and noble civic and ecclesiastic buildings, with streets that strongly suggest corners of London or Edinburgh. The Haligonian, when ap])roached by proper letters of introduction, is one of the most delightful entertainers possible, otherwise he is in- clined to be exclusive. One sees on the public thoroughfares numer- ous well-dressed men and women, among whom the redcoat of the regulars mingles in [leasing contrast of color. The Public Gardens are noteworthy and famous all through the north, and at times, when the fine military band plays, with the accompanying illuminations and listen- ing crowds, is a scene of great brilliancy and animation. It is seldom vouchsafed a stranger to enter the ramparts of the citadel, or the works and batteries in the harbor, lest he be especially favored, but it is possible and very interesting to attend the military services at Garrison Chapel, to visit the old church of St. Paul's, the Cathedral, the Parliament buildings, the Point Pleasant Park, the Ter- race ; and on early morning of a Wednesday and Saturday, the Green Market. The opportunities for getting away from. Halifax by water are numer- ous, whether for Europe or the States, Newfoundland, Cape Breton, 90 St. Pierre, or Quebec ; or the fiur bays and resorts that line the still fairer South Shore, St. Margaret's Bay, incomparable Mahone Bay, Chester, Lunenburg, La Have, Liverpool, Shelburne, and a host of other towns equally attractive. Chester is a favorite resort of Haligo- nians and people from the Southern States; Lunenburg is large, thriving, and almost exclusively Cerman ; Bridgewater on the La Have is rich in history and legends of the Acadians, and offers great induce- ments to the canoeist or fisherman in its rivers and lakes inland. We have omitted much, regretfully, necessarily In Conclusion, have left unsaid that which we ought to have said, and said that which we ought not to have said, — perhaps. Thio much should be said : travel to the Provinces and through them is not what it once was, a matter of labor and tribula- tion ; the genius of modern progress has followed the exile of the Aca- dian and the songs of the poet. Transportation has become noted for "speed and comfort and safety." In the land of the " Bluenose " and " Buckvvheat " the vacation fund can be made to go a long way, for board everywhere is reasonable, exceedingly so, and in most cases good, although plain. A constant improvement in all these par- ticulars is taking place. Sincerely hoping this little book may fulfil its intended mission among vacation planners, it is sent on its way. 91 Local Passenger Fares. ONE WAY AND RETURN. FROM I'.OSTON. ONH WAV. RETURN.
