This Hotel was opened in the year i8|o, forty-four years ago. It has changed hands a number of times. In the year i86i Mr. H. Hesslein came into possession and has established a reputation for hospitality which is linown in all parts of the world. During its many years of existence extending to nearly half a century it has entertained most of the distinguished men who have visited Halifax. Its location is central and within five minutes' walk of the central portion of the City. It has accommodation for over 150 guests, and is considered one of the best houses in the Maritime Provinces. Terms very moderate. The facilities for deep-sea fishing in and around Halifax harbor have always been considered very good, and by enquiring at the office, steam launches, sail boats and row boats can be secured. Carriages, at reasonable rates, can be secured at short notice, at the office, for drives which are unexcelled by any other city in the Lower Provinces. The Point Pleasant Park, with its nine miles of beautiful roads entwining through it, with several large fortifications, manned by British troops, and the continuous view of the ocean surrounding it, make one of the finest spots in Canada. Bedford Basin, which extends inland ten miles from the City, is considered a charming drive. Two good hotels are situated at Bedford, where persons can rest themselves and horses. 1 p c:-,..':-.»wu«*ri.^,'iiwiii. ■ .-» 3BSS mmmme^mnmim mmm The North West Arm Military Prison road, the Dingle, the Margaret's Hay road, where are the line of beautiful lakes which supply the city with water ; also, on the Eastern side of the harbour, a beautiful drive to the sea-shore, to Cow Bay, about nine miles from the City, where is a magnificent sand beach, some two miles in length. Our Public (iardens, which are a very attractive spot, having sixteen acres under cultivation, are open at all hours during the day. The military bands perform delightful music from four to six o'clock on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons during the summer months. The Public Buildings, and other places of interest in and around the City, are fnlly described in the within description of Halifax.

Halifax is the only seaport of the Dominion open at all seasons of the year to the coming and going of powerful ocean-going steamships ; as well as every minor description of sailing vessels. It has ever been the largest British military station on this continent, and is now the only place in America with a British garrison. It is also the principal British naval headquarters on this side of the Atlantic. Its harbor is seldom without the presence of an English war ship. Nature must have been in one of her most bounteous moods when she designed the situation of Halifax. It is exceedingly fine in every aspect. Its magnificent harbor of deep water, capable of sheltering the whole of the great navy of Great Britain is in itself a source of never ending weakh. The natural situation of its mainland renders it available for buildings of every description, and from the water the city presents a particularly fine appearance. HOW TO SEE THE CITY. Halifax might be *' done" after a fashion in a day, but to get anything like a correct idea of one of the oldest and most importani: places of historic interest on the continent two or three ilays at least should be spent and a wee!: or two might with pleasure and profit be expended in rides and excursions by rail, steamer and wheel, making the city one's headquarters. If the weather is fine let us rise with the sun and ascend the Citadel Hill, which may most readily be approached by turning up the first hill street north from the Halifax Hotel — Sackville Street. Walking up the gentle slope, the ascent being made easy by good roads, constructed by the military authorities, we reach the summit of the hin. Here you have the finest view to be obtained anywhere on the peninsula. " Where all the e>e surveys can charms impart."

' I m..:,.. c*, ., -J i! lO I Before you is the beautiful harbor, and looking to the south the broad Atlantic opens to our gaze. 'J'hat tower-shaped building which stands on the end of a long, narrow neck of land, to the left, is Meagher's Beach lighthouse. Further out, on the same side of the harbor, but out of sight, is another light- house, stationed on a small island perpetually surrounded by a wreath of snowy foam, which in stormy whether rises into a veil of seething spray, almost hiding the rock from sight. This is Devil's Island, and the shoals stretching out around are Thrum Cap Shoals. No rocks or shoals, however, extend across towards the mouth of the harbor which presents a fine broad entrance, ever open, ever free. On the western shore — the right of the harbor entrance looking from the Citadel — are two signal stations. Camperdown and Sambro, the latter being the extreme west point. Neither of them is visible from the Citadel, but they are connected with it by telegraph. A vessel is made out at Sambro and information respecting her is telegraphed to the Citadel and communicated to the citizens by a series of signals displayed from staffs' on the ramparts of the foVt. The most prominent village we can see from the Citadel on the western shore is Purcell's Cove, and near here on a commanding eminence is York Redoubt, another of those strong fortresses which would make entrance to the harbor by a hostile vessel almost impossible. This shore clear around to the westward is rugged and marked by high cliffs. Numerous little fishing hamlets may be seen peeping out among the rocks, and it may readily be understood that those living there are a hearty race. The island from which Meagher's Beach juts out is McNab's Island, on which is situated the military rifle range, (the militia rifle range is at Bedford), and several popular pic-nic grounds. Towards the point of the island nearest the city the heavy guns of Ives's Point battery may been seen, frowning, from the green embrasures ready to belch forth destruction to any hostile craft. Back of McNab's and separated from it by a narrow channel, is Lawlor's Island, on which is situated the Quarantine Hospital. Between Lawlor's Islano and the mainland is a pretty strip of water known as the Eastern Passage. Further up on the mainland is Fort Clarence, one of the strongest H £^. quir :• *6 ~-a jsm 'WSM II Halifax Steam Laundry, AND BATH ROOMS, 3-3:1-3^3 le-^XSlES.I^Ta-'X'OiLT ST'IES.EET', 3^1-3^3- ^' ALL KINDS OF LAUNDRY AND STEAMER'S v'ORK DONE AT SHORT NOTICE.

On its summit a heavy gunned fortress also stands guardian over the deep- Fort Charlotte, named after the Queen of George III. On the western side of the island is a lighthouse for the guidance of vessels coming up the harbor at night. Opposite the island on the city shore and entered from H. M. Military Engineers' Yard, is the Blind Battery, now unused, and so na'ied from the fact that from the water the guns are invisible and it looks like an innocent green hill. The bustling little town of Dartmouth stands on the shore. Opposite us, built on the slope from the water and in the valley beyond, its white church steeples and brightly painted houses affording a striking contrast to the dark spruce and pine-covered hills which surround it. That water, showing through trees aback and to the north of the town, in which the rays of the rising sun are reflected as from burnished silver, is the first of the beautiful chain of Dartmouth lakes, through which years ago an unsuccessful attempt was made to construct a route by canal with the waters of the Shubenacadie - river and Cobequid Bay. The canal was built, but the venture never paid and the scheme was quickly abandoned. All along the Dartmouth shore the scenery is pretty, the dark woods being alternated with green fields and charming villas, while the hills rising from the Dartmouth cove are covered with willow and other light colored foliage, which, seen from this side, resem- bles velvety mounds, and reflected on the mirror-like surface of the cove, (the water is generally as smooth as a mill pond in early morning), presents a truly beautiful effect. That long grey building with a turret and wings, situated on the brow of a green hill which slopes down to the water's edge, backed by green forests, is Mount Hope Asylum for the Insane, probably the largest building in the Province. Its visiting days are Wednesday and Friday and one can go by a pretty drive of about a mile from the Dartmouth ferry or a pleasant row or sail across the harbor, landing almost at the very door. Immediately below and north of the Asylum grounds, a row of white bathing . I I and and -^-r 13 4^ :jkj ^icJEWEIiIiE^,3iH- 99 pE^NYILLE StI^EET, MaLIFAX, N. S.

The company managing these baths run a little ferry steamer every half hour across to the city slip and tickets are on sale at the Hotel office. Just north of the Dartmouth cove is the Chebucto Marine Railway, never idle in a port like this. The large brick building below the Asylum is the ** Dartmouth" Sugar Refinery. The site is known' as Woodside, and a branch of the Intei colonial runs to it from a bridge across the Narrows. There are many objects in Dartmouth worth more than a passing notice, and among them are the extensive works of the Starr Manufacturing Company, which would be of interest if only as the place where the world-famed Forbes' Acme Club Skates are manufactured. At the water's edge, near the Marine Railway, are McKay's boiler works, and north of it, beyond the ferry dock, Moseley's Shipyard and Symonds' extensive Foundry. Away in the northern suburbs of Dartmouth, among the woods, is the extensive Factory of the Dartmouth Ropework Company, worth a visit to those interested in the process of cordage and rope making. The best view of Halifax can be obtained from one of the hills on the Dartmouth side. From our eminence on Citadel Hill we take in all the objects on the eastern shore hurriedly. North of us in the harbor lie one or more British ships of war which would be of interest to visit, particularly the flagship. Sunday is generally the best day for visitors. North of these war vessels the two shores come alnKJst close together, leaving a channel spanned by the railway bridge. Above is the magnificent sheet of water known as Bedford Basin, on the shore of which it was originally intended to found the cit}', but the danger of a foreign foe finding a safe port in the outer harbor and blockading those within, became apparent ; hence the settlement on the present site. Running the eye down the western side of the harbor from the Narrows, the first place of interest are the machine shops, wharves, etc., of the Intercolonial Railway at Richmond, just below the bridge. Next will be seen the Wellington barracks, two long buildings of red brick in a large enclosure. The principal military powder magazine is at the lower corner of this enclosure, and smaller magazines are down near the water side in the same locality.

Along the waterside, further south, is H. M. Dockyard, a very fine and well kept property, about a mile in length, enclosed by a high stone wall on the land side. In it are the Naval Hospital, Naval Stores, Workshops, Offices, etc. Admiralty House, the residence of the Admiral in charge of the station, is situated on a hill west of the Railway Station. It is a plain, square building, of slate stone, but has been the residence of many distinguished personages and was the first building in which the Marquis of Lome and his royal wife stayed in America. That long brick building away further west with the sun glinting on its rows of windows, and a tall chimney, is the Nova Scotia Cotton Mill, to which a branch railway siding runs. The large brick edifice with another tall chimney down by the water north of the Dockyard, is the " Nova Scotia" Sugar Refinerj'. A railway branch will be noticed down the side of the Dockyard wall which terminates at the long wharves and grain elevator just at the south end of the Dockyard. Here the ocean mail steamers land their mails and passengers directly into the railway cars. Along the waterside are the wharves and ware- houses of our Merchants, the Military Ordnance Yard, the Queen's wharf, and below the Blind Battery (before spoken of) the Gas Works. In the outh western suburbs are prominently noticeable the Halifax School for the Blind (a neat brown stone building), the City and Provincial Hospital (a rambling red brick structure in a large field) and the ruins of the Poor's Asylum — all three in a line. North of the Hospital is the Exhibition Building, used in the winter as a skating rink, and north of it the Public Gardens, occupying x^% acres, beautifully laid out, which must be visited. Just west of the Gardens is Camp Hill Cemetery, the chief Protestant burial ground, also worth a visit. Occupying the southern end of the peninsula is Point Pleasant Park, which you must take a carriage to drive through and admire. Amid its woods are several more strong fortresses, worth inspection. On the foreground as we stand we have a birds-eye view of the City ; which looks principally like a mass of smoking chimney pots.

To be sure it is not very beautiful to behold, and better clocks are now to be seen in the Ordaance store tower and the City Market building. But the old town clock is associated with the earliest recollections of the present generation? it forms the subject of the late Hon. Joseph Howe's wittiest poem—and the weak tinny clang of its aged bell as it tolls forth tlie hours, compared with the deep boom of the clocks of more recent construction, seems to tell the listener that it is doing its best, but its " not as young as it used to be." To view the interior of the citadel we will come again with a pass obtained at the Town Major's office and an orderly will be pleased to show us through and explain everything of interest. We return to the Hotel for breakfast with a better idea of what there is to be seen about Halifax. To see the business portion of the city one may trust to his own powers of locomotion. Walk right up Hollls street north from the Hotel. On the left hand in the centre of the next block is the W. U. Telegraph office, a red brick building, and next to it the Halifax Club, a fine stone structure, and the Bank of Montreal. The next corner on the right is the Union Bank of Halifax. The Y. M. C. A. building is on the corner of the street above, and down the hill the brick Ijuilding in the centre of the block vs the Ckronidc newspaper office, the leading journal in the Maritime Provinces. The street below, parallel to Hollis, is Bedford Row, a line of insurance, lawyer's and consular offices, includ- ing the American consulate. The large grey stone edifice occuping the block opposite the Union Bank is the Provincial Building where the Legislature meets. Enter it and pay a visit to Mr. F. Blake Crofton, the able Provincial Librarian, and he will obligingly explain to you its many points of historic and artistic in. terest and treasures. The massive freestone building occupying the block just north on the right contains the Post Office and custom House, and on the third floor is a well stocked Provincial Museum which will repay inspection. George street, which runs on the north side of the Post Office, leads down to the City building with Police Court and Station and the City market — two red brick piles; also to the city slips and Dartmouth ferry dock.

Up the second hill, Buckingham street, and turn •''outh through Barrington, passing Chalmer's Church, Dalhousie College, the Grand Parade and St. Paul's Church on the right. Two blocks farther bring you to the Academy of Music, opposite the foot of Spring Garden Road, one of the finest little theatres in Canada. Next to it is the town major's office, where passes can be obtained for the citadel, and next south of that are St. Matthew's Church and the resid^tnce of the Lieut. Governor of the Province. Opposite is the old cemetery containing a Lion Monument in memory of Parker and Welsford, two Nova Scotian heroes in the Crimea. Up Spring Garden Road on the right is St. Mary's Cathedral, always open, and on the left the Supreme Court House. This road leads out to the Public Gardens. The hill north of the Academy of Music leads .ilmost directly to the Hotel again, pass- ing Masonic Hall on the corner at the end of Granville Street. Do not leave town without taking a drive through Point Pleasant Park and the south end of the City which contains the majority of finest residences. Also up to Bedford, pastMulgrave Park at Richmond and the Prince's Lodge, six miles out, and down the Dartmouth ::vde. Also around the head of the N. W. Arm and past Melville Lsland Military prison on the dingle road. Also take an excursion around Point Pleasant and up the Arm if possible — it is a del'^htful sail. There are many beautiful drives out of Dartmouth as well, particularly to Cow Bay via the Eastern Passage. POINTS OF INTEREST. The Citadel, on its high eminence, is the most striking point of interest. But it was not always so eminently prominent. 1 he hill wa„ not always so hi^h as the altitude to which the battlements of the fort now attain. The building of it represents many years of labor for thousands of men. It was begun in the days of the French, over a century ago.
