HE City of iSuiiit John, Now Brunswick, with a population approaching fifty tlionsand, is not only the largest and finest eit}' in the Maritime Provinces of Canada, but the natural centre from wliich tourists branch off to all other points. Omitting the extremity of Capo Breton, tliere is no point of interest, on direct lines of commnnication in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia or Prince Edward Island, that cannot be reached from St. John inside of twelve hours. This can be said of no other place in the provinces offering local attrac- tions such as centre at St. John. 1t0 (Tentral po0ition. A still more important fact is that St. John is within one to four or five hours' ride by rail or steamer of more interesting places than any other centre in the provinces. To this must be added the interest attaching to St. John and its immediate surroundings, which for natural features and picturesque charm are not surpassed elsewhere, and which the tourist must see if he would see the best the provinces have to ofifer. Take an example : there are three objects of special interest for every visitor to this region : He desires to witness the remarkable tidal phenomena of the Bay of Fundy ; to see the magnificent St. John River, which Rev. T. deWitt Talmage in a sermon once described as " the Rhine of America ; " and the I^and of Evangeline. With St. John as a centre, the tourist is at the mouth of the St. John River, with ita famous " reversible " falls ; he is on the shore of the Bay of Fundy, with its tidal rise of twenty seven feet in the harbor ; and a sail of two hours in a palatial Clyde-built steamer takes him across the bay to Digby, where he has the lovely Annapolis Basin at his feet, and the valley, traversed by the Dominion Atlantic Railway, with its far-famed orchards stretching away to the shores- of the Basin of Minas, through the very heart of the Land of Evangeline. toil.' TIInrivalle^ Climate. After nil, when the grent (ities are Bweltcriiig under tlic lilnze of u mid- Bumnier «iin, tlie conditionn most to he desired are coolness and tonifort. From this standpoint, more, perhaiw than any other, St. .John is the ideal resort. Dur- ing the months of July and August, I89t>, the highest iioint registered (and that oidy once) by the thermometer in the meteoro- logical observatory at St. John was 82*^ ; the lowest, between 7.30 a.m. and 4 i>.m., was 4*.)". Tlie average temperature be- tween those hours during those months was between tl."? and 70". Such an occurr- ence as sunstroke is unknown in St. John. Even on days when the weather at inter- ior i>oints in the jiroviiMjo is too warm for perfect comfort, the I'ity by the sea"' enjoys a cool and vcfroshing air. Tiio effect of the cliange from the stifling air of sun-baked cities fartln'r south, or in- land, to the bracing and deliglitl'ul summer climate of St. Jol > ■ something that must be exiterienced to be fully appreciated. Appetite is restored, the color comes back to the cheek, and life, instead of being something simply to be endured, becomes u pleasure and an opportunity : the subject of the change becomes instantly interested in his or her surroundings, and eager to enjoy to the full the henlth-giving and delightful experiences of a summer outing under almost ideal conditions.

From this point linos of steamers last winter took over $4,000,000 worth of cargo, from all parts of Western Canada, and from United States points as far west as Minneapolis and Chicago, for shipment to tho British Islands and the Continent. St. John is every year attaining greater prominence as the winter freight port of Canada, through which increasing rpiantities of western produce go to the old world markets.

Its Historic Buildiiius — Handsome Private Residences — Elm-shaded Streets|[and Parks. FREDKKIC-TON, KKOM IlllICK HILL. ELM-SIIADED Fredericton of to- day is pre-eminently a city for the cyclist and canoeist. Its bruad, Htraight, level streets, canopied by ancient trees, and the excellent country roads that lead to flowered tield and singing brook and wooded hill, entice the one, while the grand old river, with its sliady creeks and smiling intervales, allure the other. Opposite the city, at the lower and the upper ends thereof, two lovely streann, tlio NTashwaak and Nashwaiksis, merge their existence in the river. The city is not without its buildings of historic interest. Prominent among these are : the old Government house, now without an occupant, that once sheltered under its roof the royalty of England ; the New Brunswick Univer- sity, that serenely overlooks the city from a classic eminence ; the Episcopal Cathedral, which stands a monument to the untiring zeal of that talented and devoted muii, the lato Bishop howint ib< QUEEN HOTEL, (jrEBN BTKBBT, FRKDBRICTON, N.

Frcdurictou this summer i»- witnessing a partial revival of the bygone garrison days, as a detachment of British Regulars is now located here. It is- an interesting fact that the Government house, the University building and the Military barracks were all erected in 1828, under the able and energetic adminis' trotion of Sir Howard Douglas. The corner-stone of the cathedral was- laid October 15, 1845, by Lieut.-Qov. Sir William Colebrooke. The building was finished and consecrated in 1853, and has been enriched in various ways since then. The entire nave is an exact copy of the church at Snettisham, England. The main body of the church is of domestic stone, the window settings of Caen stone. There are eight bells in the tower, the tenor weighing 2,800 lbs. The chime in use was adopted from that of Trinity Church, New York. The Provincial Parliament building is a handsome freestone structin. with granite base, and has cost, from first to last, 8200,000. Within the building is an Assembly clinmber. spacious and stately in design, which bears upon its walls paintings in oil of more than passing interest. These include por- traits of George III, Queen Charlotte, Lord Sheftield and Lord Glenelg. That i. ^itfeg* '^BNy* -♦ r^ it- ■■j — —^fr-r^ tSmaS^^^ CANOKI.NG ON THE BIVKR ST.

In a large and decor- ously furnished upper chamber the Supreme Court of the province meets at stated terms. The literary' visitor should, before he leaves the building, inspect the lejjislative library. Its shelves contain 14,000 volumes, many of them exr tremelj' rare and valuable. One of the original set of Audubon's Book of Birds is here, valued now at $15,000. It formerly belonged to the Duke of Orleans, or to his father, King Louis Philippe of France. A copy of the old Domesday book is preserved in one of the library vaults. Several books are treasured here that were presented to the library by Queen Victoria and boar her own handwriting on the fly leave?. Numerous medals of historic interest are shown, including that commemora- tive of the marriage of Prince Frederic of Prussia and the J^rincess Royal of England, the Canadian Confederation medal, and the two handsome and costly medals presented to New Brunswick at the Albert Exhibition held in London in 1862. The New Brunswick University is an institution which has yielded for a greater part of a century a potent influence upon the educational interests of the province. The original charter of the Col! ■;• of New Brunswick was issued in the year 1800. In 1825 this charter was surrendered to the Crown and another grari'ii to a body corporate, under the name A SNAP-SBOT ON OROMOCTO LAKB, N.

In 1859 an act wns pnsaed by the Provincial Assembly establishing the University of New Brunswick and abolishing the theolo- gical department. The college, in one form or another, has always enjoyed a provincial endowment, and since 1871 has formed the apex of that legislative creation which is at once the special pi'ide and highest honor of New Brunswick — its free school system of education. Other public buildings of note are tlie Victoria Hospital (founded by Lady Tilley in 1887), the City Hall, the Normal School, and the handsome stone editicesof the Baptist and Presby- terian bodies. The Methodist and Roman Catholic churches are commo- dious structures of a somewhat ancient type. The churches of Ficdericton possess the very uni([Ue feature of beini>- free of debt. From a civic standpoint the town enjoys progressive government. Its streets are lighted throughout by elec- tricity. Its lire department is fully up to modern recjuircments. Its sidewalks are of asphalt. The city is able to boast of public parks, as a result of private beneticence, unexcelled by any in the eastern provinces. Tlie death-rate of Fredericton is so low as to be within the reach of all. It arises almost entirely from one of two causes : extreme old age or a physical malady of some kind. In the cise of government officials neither of these has any effect. The only thing tliat can happen them is superannuation. THE I'ORTAUK, OREBN RIVUK, N. It. INTERIOR VIEW op JOHJI J.

The spruce tree is king in New Brunswick^ but the spruce tree bows its head in homage to Alexander Gibson. Starting in life as the proverbial poor boy in the village- of liOpreau, his career reads like a romance. He employs an army of men in the woods, on the stream, in the mill, and on the river St. John, cutting, driving,^ sawing and shipping from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000 feet of lumber every year. He erected and donnccd to the New Brunswick Methodist Conrerence one of the finest churches in the province, and has since maintained ii entirely at his own expense. Lath miilsi, shingle mills, grist mills, cotton mills, and other ventures all bear witness to his genius, forethought and enterprise.

It is also tlie centre of trade for many places, not only in Northumberland, but also in lower Gloucester and the northern parts of Kent. It has a population of nearly 5000, was incorporated in ISOO, is divided into four wards, and has a Mayor and eight Aldermen. It is about a mile in length on the river front and averages throe blocks in depth. The streets run mainly parallel and at right angles. Chatham is the centre of a largo fish exporting business. Its railway ship- ments of fresh salmon, smelts, mackerel, bass, etc., are reckoned by tho thousand tons, while tliere is a very large export also, by both ship and rail, of canned lobsters, blueberries, etc., running up into tlie hundreds of tons.

It is the eiistcin i the Canada Eastern railway, which gives it a direct line t Fi i' li. in, connections are made with the United States via the Cana' ifu I'l, it'r railway also gives Chatham direct conmiunication wii .<■ n express and accommodation trains, at Chatham Juncti' miles distant. Tourists, sportsmen, health and plensure-seekers, and those who wish to spend tlieir summer vacations, or locate their families for n few weeks or months where they may live at very moderate cost, cannot do better than go to Chatham. If good salmon fishing is wanted it mny be had up the Miramichi, where trout also abound. Trout-fishing, open to the public, may be now had on the famous Bartibog and Tabusintac rivers, where sea trout. running up to four pounds ii; weight, are caught. A few seasons ago, the writer and a friend killed on one of these streams, in one day's fishing, ninety-three trout, which weighed 127 pounds. These were displayed next day in a store window as an object-lesson for the information of anglers. The fees [ler rod per day on these rivers range from one to two dollars. Free trout tishing, and good at that, nuiy bo had in a dozen places to be reached from Chatham, such as Little Bartibog, Church River, Eel River, Black River, ITorton's Creek, Napan River, etc., to say nothing of mill ponds and other i)laces where smaller trout abound. OS NORTHWEST MIUAMICHI, N. H. PINK TREE POOL, OUNOAKVON, N. H. 39 Striped bass are easily caught with hook and line in June and September in many places on the Miramichi, off Chatham and Newcastle, and elsewhere. The writ«r and a friend caught fifty-three of these one day in early June six miles above Chatham. They weighed about 175 pounds. Eight and ten-pounders are not unusual. Down-river from Chatham, at points to or near which the steamer of the Miramichi Steam Navigation Co. runs, bass may be taken with the fly in salt water. Here also line tishing for mackerel is fine sport. Parties go from Chatham by steamers and boats ever}' summer cod-fishing. A favorite way is for a party of a dozen to leave the wharf about eight o'clock one evening and return at the same hour the next evening. It costs them about $2.50 or $3.00 each for steamer, lines, meals, bait, etc. The fares of codfish brought back average about 400. One party of twelve who went last summer (1896) on the steamer St. Nicholas, leaving the wharf at 8 p. m. Thursday and returning at 9 p. m. Friday, caught one and a quarter tons of codfish. The Tabusintae, Neguac, Bay dn Vin and other beaches iifibrd splendid snipo and plover sliODtiiig, and these localities, as well ns Trncadie, Pokemouche, Shippegan and Xliscou — all of which are reached through Chatham — are the great North Shore haunts of black ducks, geese and brant. There are no better feeding grounds for these birds in North America that are accessible to the sportsman. At distances of from three to twenty miles from Chatham there are probably the best caribou plains in New Uruns- wick, while moose and red deer are also plentiful. Of the siiiallor game birds and animals, such are partridges, woodcock, foxes, rabbits, etc., there are a plenty. At points K8IB FALLS, N.

At the inland places there is trout tishing and big and small game shooting in their seasons. At the seaside there is surf and more quiet sea water bathing ; trout-fishing ill nearby streams ; mackerel, bass, lobster and other fishing ; partridge, snipe and jilover shooting (in season) ; l)oating and canoeing — in fact, facilities for health-giving enjoyment and sport, at moderate cost, that are not to be found in such great variety in any other place where tourists go. There are, as yet, no summer hotels, as the tourist understands the term, but farm and other houses at which visitors are accommodated, and whose pro- jirictors are anxious to make their guests comfortable in a homely way. Of the roads of Chatham and vicinity from the cyclist's standpoint, it may be said that they are comparatively free from hills and sand. Visiting wheel- men say that they are above the average ill these respects, and many of them — such as that towards Douglasfield — perfect courses for the "silent steed." Chatham has an ideal summer climate. The days are warm — occasionally running up to 80 degrees, but the average day temperature is about 65 degrees; the nights are alwa5's cool. Fog is practically unknown on the rivef or bfty if sUtnmef. The prevailing wind is northwest. I'PPER TOHKjUB RIVER, N.

An enquirer asks what fishing is available between Fredericton and Chatham along the Canada Eastern? On this subject a good deal maj' be said. If big tront-fisliing is wanted, and the angler has two, three, or more days to give to it, he can leave the train at Zionville, IJoiestown or Doaktown stations and by [(ortnges averaging say ten nnles in each case, reach Cain's River, one of the best trout streams in the country. He must go prepared to camp out and can team anything he wants to make him com- fortable, over the portages. Frederic- ton hotel men, or Mr. D. G. Smith, Fishery Commissioner of the Province, -whose address is either Fredericton or Chatliam, can give all necessary infor- maiMn as to this river. Another enquirer wants to know wliat fishing there is along the lino of the Canada Eastern Railway between Fredericton and Chatham for visitors who want to stop oft' a day or two oidy ?

E. LE ROI WILLIS, Proprieto The quickest a the two Campobello Island, New Brunswick. CAMPOBELLO, so long known only to the titled Englisih friends of Admiral Owen and to Nature-loving pivnickers of Eastport, is now a favorite sojourn for all who seek coolness and shade in summer. On its shores begins the scenery of the fiay of Fundy, which, by reason of its high tides and low-creepings mists, now changes and again softens the headlands which rise in the landscape. Beaches unsuspected come to view, distances diminish, and colors deepen, as the waters of the bay rise and fall. On one side of the island the purple cliffs of Grand Manan extend across part of the horizon. On the other side, the hilly towns of Eastport and Lubec, and the narrowing rivers, Denny's and St. Croix, with the far reaches up the Passama<|uoddy, give a most varied setting to the scene. The island itself is picturestjue, with coves and cliffs, with winding roads and woods. One can be out of doors all day, with sense neither of fatigue nor heat, so clear, bracing, and cool is the climate. Fog never lasts for a, whole day and, during the last five seasons, there has lieen not more than three days a month in which it was impossible to walk or drive, while the beauty of the landscape is wonderfully increased by the shutting down and lifting of the fog. Each year finds many of the old friends back again, who are glod to reveal its hidden beauties to those who have just arrived. The hotel and cottage life on the island and the neat dwellings of the native inhabitants add a homelike feeling and contribute to the general attrac- tiveness of the island.

I N spring and autumn, when the river is high, the "stern wheel" steamer " Florencevillo " plies hetween Fredericton and Woodstock, a distance of sixty miles. All the points of interest along this route will soon be accessible by rail, as a lino is under construction along the western shore of the St. iFohn. It traverses the populous settlements of Prince William and Queensbury, peopled by descendants of disbanded loyalist soldiers. The finest scenery .on the trip is at the mouth of the Pokiok River, by which the waters of Lake George find outlet to the St. John. The Pokiok Falls are about forty feet in height ; and titter this plunge the river roars and leaps through a gorge 1,200 feet in length, whose perpendicular walls, seventy-five feet high, are les6 than thirty feet apart. The signification of Pokiok is " The Dreadful Place." Lake George is somewhat renowned for its productive antimony-mines. Near Pokiok is Prince William Lake, and a little beyond the Sheogomuc Lake and Rive.. At Canterbury the road crosses Eel River, the outlet of Eel and North Lakes, from which a famous portage (whose deserted paths are worn deep by the many Indian feet that trod them of old) leads to the (/'hiputneticook Lakes and the St. Croix, and thence to Passa- niaquoddy Bay. By this route went the troops of Villebon many a time to ravage the New England borders. Five miles beyond Eel River is the site of the old French fort Medoctec, beside the rapids and Melicite village of the same name. This district was of old tlie Seignory of the Sieur Clignancourt, and was held an important centre, owing to the necessity of making a portage at this point to avoid the rapids. These, however, the steamer surmounts, as a rule, without great difficulty. St. Mary's is a suburban village opposite Fred- ericton, inhabited by a number of Melicite Indians, some of whom are famous hunters, guides, etc. UPPER \Vutr RB8IDENCB— (Side View). fit " KiNOHHL'BST," (Side View.) ■\vn8 famous in years gone by for its boat races Avben the far-famed "Paris" crew held the four- oared championship of the world.

Midway between St. John and Moucton, on the main line of the I. C. R., it has one of the best train services in the province, and the tourist is never bothered by vexatious waits. Sussex is the centre of the^richest agricultural centre in New Brunswick, and seven main roads leading in to it fo: \. the spokes of a wheel, in which, with the town as a hub, is mannfactured more than one-half of the entire cheese output of the province, and from which the St. John and Moncton derive almost their entire milk suppl}*. few miles from Sussex will be found some of the best lake fishing preserves in the province, the principal of which are Chisbolm, Connors and Hamilton, all owned by private companies. Good stream fish- ing is also available within easy distance. The town is the military heiidquarters for the province, and beneath the stately old elms about a mile from the railway station, the New Bruns- wick militia meets in annual drill, usually the last week in June and first in July, and it is at this- season of the year the "garden town" can be seen at its best. Cyclists find in Sussex a paradise, where sand and kindred nuisances are unknown and where the many roads leading out into the country are tree-lined avenues along which they can glide^ and breathe the pure air and feast their eyes on a *' land of milk and honey." The town is laid out on a fiat and there are miles of road perfectly level, although to those enjoying a "coast"' ample opportunity is afforded. bird's BTB VIRW of 8UB8KX, N.

An unusual amount of sunshine and a dry atmosphere make it a very desirable locality for people with weak lungs. There is situated here the only artesian mineral spring in the province, the ^waters of which have pronounced curative qualities. While nature has ., done much for Sussex, the progressive ■character and the deep-seated loyalty of her inhabitants has done much to put her in the front rank of progressive provincial towns. Wide tree-shaded streets mark the residential portions, but it is on the main business streets that tall brick and wood structures give evidence of substantial growth. Clustering electric light, telegraph, telephone and electric fire alarm wires proclaim the presence of these modern conveniences so necessary to a hustling town. Excel- lent educational facilities are provided, and the medical, legal and -clerical professions are well represented. In public buildings, halls, and hotel accommodations Sussex is up to the times ; among the latter the Depot House, conducted by Mr. A. B. Pugsley, is well calculated to meet the requirements of the tourist and traveller, and is filled every summer with tourists. MAIN STBBRT, 8DSSBX, N. B.

GENERAL OFFICES INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY, MONCTON, N. B. 87 MoNCTON, New Brunswick. ONCTON is a city with a population of 10,000. It is a railway centre, the heart of the Intercolonial, from which the busy operations of the system are controlled. There is a railway odor in the air, bc'.is rinff and whistles blow at all hours of the day and night, and railway men are found at every turn. The general offices and workshops employ a small army, and as this army is paid in cash, it is very popular with all clns«os of society. The raiUvay has done a good deal for Moncton, and Moneton has done a good deal for itself. The people are enterprising as well as enthusiastic, and hav9 net only a courage in the present, but nn unbounded faith for the future. Tliey have a cotton factory and many other in- dustries of importance. They have erected fine public and private structures ; and while they have outstripped the citizens of larger places in availing themselves of applied electricity, they are now to the front with an electric railway. The old-time shops have given place to " real stores, with plate glass fronts and the electric light," while in the less busy streets are residences of taste- ful design, usually in the midst of admirably arranged grounds. It is but Just that this tribute should be paid to a promising city and its people, because many strangers merely stop off between trains and have no opportunity to judge for themselves.

It is easy enough to have clean streets in a town where a hearse or a milk waggon is the most conspicuous vehicle, but Moncton is not that kind of a place. The Petitcodiac is one of the kind of rivers to which the traveller must get accustomed ere he proceeds much further on his journey. At high water it is quite n majestic stream, though a trifle discolored ; at K w tide the river disappears, with the exception of some water in the channel, and acres of smooth, slippery mud appear. The mud is not a nice thing to get into, but as a fertilizer it is a great success — the manure with which Nature enriches the vast areas of marsh which are found nt the head of the Bay of Fundy. The river at Moncton is a good place to see the tide come in with a "bore." Thousands of well-read people, trusting *o books written b^' men of imaginative minds, have lived and died in the belief that the tide at the head of the bay rose 120 feet. Old editions of Encyelojnrdia Britunnka used to say so, and one geographer is responsible for the statement that this extraordinary flood was seen thirty miles away approaching in one vast wave with ajprodigious noise. The truth is that the Bay of Fundy tides rise as high as sixty feet and upwards, and with great rapidity, but take^plenty of time to fall. When they enter certain long and narrow estuaries a bore of six feet, and in some cases even higher, is fo.-med. This is, however, worth seeing, and worth keeping out of the way of, if you are out in a boat and don't know how to manage it ; but a traveller who has set his heart on a bore of sixty or a hundred feet is apt to be disappointed. Moncton has two flrst-chiss hotels, with all modern im- provements, the Brunswick and American, centrally locater' and up to date. Good sample rooms for commercial travellers. Carriages meet all trains at the station. A watering-place convenient to Moncton, and in favor with its people, is Buctouche, reached by a run of thirty-two miles over the Buctouche and Moncton Railway. Seven miles beyond Moncton, on the Intercolonial, is Painsec Junction, from which a branch runs to Shediac and Point du Chene. Painsec is the French for dry bread, though nobody appeats'^to know why the title was, bestowed on this part of the country. It need not frighten the traveller, for ho is on his way to a land famous for oysters and other gond cheer, to say nothing of many other things that will contribute to his pleasure. 69 " THE BORE," (Tidal Wave) height 5 feet, 4 inches, moncton, n. b.

AMHERST is an incorporated town numbering over 5,000 people, with its mayor and corporation, its board of trade, and other essentials of good government and material advancement. Its newer residences aie of modern types of architecture, and not a few magnificent in style and proportions.

Dominion and bank buildings, court house, and especially the academy building, for it is the outgrowth of i)opular sentiment in behalf of the education of the people. The jiioneer manufiacturing industry of any extent — the first iron foundry and machine shop in the town or county — was opened in 1865 by Alexander Robb. It was successfully conducted by him for several years, and afterwards, notwithstanding two serious fire losses, by his sons, who, under the title of the Robb EngineeriiigCo. have expiindod it to engine and boiler works. The Amherst Boot und Shoe Co. is one ot the thriving niaiiufncturcs which gives employment to over two hundred hands. M. D. Trido is the manager and T. X. Campbell secTetary-tren.siirer. Rhodes, Curry & Co., Ltd., coiiduit an establish- ment second to none of its kind in Canada. They have erected some of the finest public buildings and residences in the Maritime rrovinces.

The adjacent country abounds with flourishing settlements which make Amherst a centre, and even the villages across the border favor it largely with their custom. Numerous pleasant drives may be had in the vicinity. One of these is to Fort Cumberland, from which there is a splendid view o*' the Bay and the surrounding country for many miles. A trip to Bale Verte and vicinity will also prove of interest, and, indeed, as the country" is well -1 ( HAITIST CHI'KIH, AMHERHT, N.

This part of the country is well settled and has some tine harbors. That of Pugwash is an exce;)tion- ally good one, safe, commodious, and deep enough for vessels of any size. Our limited space prevents a more extended notice of this wide-awake, up-to-date and thriving town which is keeping time with the march of ; nprovement in larger cities, and, with the push, pluck and perseverance of its go-ahead citizens, deserves to succeed. lOBT OKKICE AND fOURT HOUSK, A.MHERST, N. 8. m i 1897. — MAYORS OF NEW BRUNSWICK — 1897.
