Rockwood Park, within a few minutes' walk of the city, is one of the most charming natural parks on the continent. It occupies a broken and irregular plateau on the north side of the city, and covers an extent of over 250 acres, most of which consists of hills, glens and wood lands, the natural features of which strongly remind the traveller of the Highlands of Scotland. Near the front of the Park, embosomed in hills, is Lily Lake, a fine sheet of water from the eastern corner of which a little stream descends by a succession of cascades to the plain below. A series of roads and paths wind in and out among rocky glens and hills, now giving wide views of the surrounding country and the Bay of Fundy. and the hills and inlets of distant Nova Scotia ; now winding amid quiet rocky defiles bordered with native shrubs and trees. The great charm of the park is its natural beauty, giving in miniature the bold and rugged scenery of southern New Brunswick At the western extremity of the Park are the Public Gardens, » .ich have been gracefully laid out in lawns, flower beds, and gravel paths, and when fully developed will equal any in eastern Canada.

A pleasant ride by carriage could be taken to Fernhill, a mile out of town, and one of the most beautiful cemeteries, in its natural features, to be found in America. It comprises 145 acres, traversed by well kept, shady avenues. An undulating, and in part hilly surface, lends picturesqueness to the pneral aspect, and the beauty of the place is heightened by the profusion of trees within its borders. A handsome memorial fountain stands in the midst of the most beautiful portion. A ride in the winding avenues at Fernhill opens up charming vistas of scenery, and in one section are to be seen beds of very large and beautiful ferns, for which the region is noted, and from which the name is derived. The ride to Fernhill should be taken by the eastern entrance. On the way a splendid view is obtained of Courtenay Bay, and the shore and countryside beyond ; while far out is seen Partridge Island, and beyond it the broad bosom of the Bay of Fundy. The return should be made from the western gateway, along the Marsh Road.

' (8) DEEP SEA FISHING AND HARBOR EXCURSIONS. The visitor wishing a sail around the Harbor, or out around Part- ridge Island, or through the Reversing Falls, can have every wish gritified. There is much to interest the stranger to St. John, around the harbor, notably the tides, fish weirs, and the dulse rocks. Excellent opportunities for deep sea fishing are also afforded, and good sport guaranteed. The boats are manned by careful and thoroughly compe- tent men, who have since childhood been familiar with the bay and harbor. ,,-f -jt^w Following are some of the Excursions which may be taken ; To the Bay Shore, to Partridge Island, to Manawagonish Island, to the Fish Weirs, and through the Reversing Falls. The latter trip, which takes about four hours, can only be made at certain times of tide. Afterpassing through the Gorge, the trip is extended a short distance up the River St. John, and return trip made when tide changes. Those not wishing to return by boat can land at Indiantown and return by electric car. Rates 75c for each passenger. Deep sea fishing parties of four or more persons $1.00 per day each. Special arrangements can be made for parties of less than four. To make appointments for Harbor Excursions communicate with attendant at Tourist Information Bureau. 85 Prince William Street. Once each week during July and August the steamer " Majestic" will make the trip from the harbor, sailing from the Market Wharf, through the Reversing Falls, and up the river to Grand Bay, on the return trip docking at Indiantown, passengers returning to the city by street rar. For d.itss and hours of sailing enquirs at Tourist Bureau, or at hotels. Fare, 25c, (9) YACHTING.

Visiting wheelmen, desiring to take a few short runs in the vicinity of St. John, will find the following routes attractive : 1 . The most popular route is ma the Marsh Road to Rothesay (9> i). Six and a half miles from St. John the road comes in sight of the Kennebeccasis River. The road is quite free from hills, and not at all tireso:.ie. Should the tourist desire to go further, keep the central road at Rothesay. Two miles more the road again skirts the river, until it ends at Gondola Point. Sandy Beach here. 2. Keep the Marsh Road to Coldbrook OVs). Take right fork, keeping direct road to Dolan's Lake (8V3). First part a little hiliy. but rest easy riding. 3. After crossing the Marsh Bridge, take right fork, following direct road to Loch Lomond (10). First two miles hiHy. afterwards it is quite free from hills. Good fishing in lake. The Churchland s Road, connecting the Golden Grove and Loch Lomond Roads (Nos. 2 and 3), offers an opportunity for a good round trip. Loch Lomond Road (see No 3), six miles to Churchland's Road, take turning to left. Th.s connects with Golden Grove (see No. 2), five miles from city. 4 Take Princess street ferry to Carleton (West St. John): thence via Rodney, Ludlow and St. John streets tc Lancaster Heights. A good view of the city is obtainable from Martello Tower. Keep direct road to Asylum corner (Fairville on left); turning sharp to right, you may return 10 St. John via Suspension Bridge and Falls. 5 Follow above route to Asylum Corner. Keep straight road throueh Fairville and down Mahogany Road to Spruce Lake. A beau- tiful view of the Bay of Fundy is obtainable along this route. On return trip keep left fork at Asylum Corner via Suspension Bridge. Douglas avenue, and Main street to St. John. For Road Books, and all information regarding wheeling, apply to J. M. Barnes.
