 among which may be menti,.ned York l{edoubt, Mae^fab's

 a .lewel ,n tlie ^vaters of the harbor. Jt is i„ reality a iM)we,-ful 
 and wonderft.l fortress,, with nuisked batteries "and subter- 
 ranean works; iu itself exemplifying the last line of the stan.a 
 
 CrowntMg the su.un.it nf tlie hill upon which Tlalifa.x is 
 built. Ui., foot above the level «f the sea, is the citadel, upon 
 whose |,orfeet ,.,p,i|m,e„t the imperial government has ex- 
 pended vast ,ums of tnouey. .\u,ong the forest of ma.is and 
 sn.oke-slacks always to be seen in the harbor, the stranger will 
 noltee some of the greatest war-ships in the world, which 
 rnaterially add to the outward signs of the power of "The 
 Warden «f the Honour of the North." 
 
 Btjt Halifax has other claims to notice besides fortresses 
 1 he city has a world-wide reputation for old-fashioned hospi-

 Those who coiuemplate spending some time in the eity 
 will find it ])Ossible to live economically and pleasantly, in a 
 private boarding-lionse. Prices dejx'nd upon location, size, 
 and nnmber of rooms required, etc.; and one can obtain board 
 in res})ectable neighborhoods from $3.50 per week, npvvards. 
 according to nccommodaiion?. Very satisfactory board niav 
 be obtained for $5: and in every instance the proprietors aim 
 to give full value for irioney received. The system of lodging 
 in one house and dining elsewhere, is not nmch in vogue in

 IN AND AROUND HALIFAX. 
 
 llcilii'nx is l)ui]t ou a j'ockv, liilly peninsnla, wliich juts out 
 into one of the finest sliects of water on tlie Atlantic coast. 
 T]j(! city was founded by tin; llou. lulward Corjiwallis, June 
 21.st, 374!). The harbor was then called Ohebucto, and the 
 settlenu'ut would probably have been, nauied for it, had it not 
 been for the prominent position then held by the Earl of 
 Halifax, and the h(3lp extended by him to the founders of the 
 citv. It was therefore decided to name tbe new settlement for 
 him, and through this decision, tlu^ city o])tained a g'ood old 
 English name, and the Earl secured a most desirable perpetu- 
 ity. 
 
 The area of Halifax is K'UV,\ ai re^ and the popuhition 
 about 42,000. 
 
 Localities. 
 
 l^ai'ly in the history of Halifax, it became the habit to 
 speak of the diiferent sections of tlie city as German-town, 
 Fresh Water. Irish-town, l^iclimond and Dutch Village. 
 T^hese names grew chiefly out of tlie nationality of the settlers, 
 but have become obsolete, since the diiferent races have 
 blended, into a homogeneous mass. Tt is now customary to 
 speak of -Nortli End,'' 'SSouth hhid," "West End" and -Ilich- 
 mond." 
 
 The' North End is that ])art of the city lying north of 
 Cornwalhs street, and whicli was built up originally by the 
 German settlers. It is now such a centre of active business

 general prosperity Ikm'c, and within j'cccnt yeai's some line 
 resideiu;es have been erected in lhi< growing ]iart of th(^ cilv. 
 
 Among the chief points of intcrot in the north-end may 
 be mentioned the little Dutch church, corner (Jerrisii aFid 
 Brunswick streets, built, as its name suggests, by the Dutch 
 settlei's in. 1755. It is in very good rc|»air, and although no 
 longer nsed for ))urposes of worship, tlic traveller may. for a 
 small consideration, visit the edifice wliich is ke])t as it was in 
 the old days. It is a part of St Ceorge's parish, and entrance 
 must be obtained by applicatioji to the rector of that church. 
 
 On (lottingc-n street, with grounds extending through to 
 Campbell lload, is the Adnn'ralty House, the i-esidence of the 
 Admiral of the North Atlantic and West India s(]nadrons. 
 It is a substantial edifice surrounded by well-kept, lawns aiui 
 drives, and is the sceiu' of many b'sti\itie- when the llag-ship 
 is in port. It is, of course, Im])erial propei-ly, maintained in 
 a fitting manner at the ex])ense of the Imperial Covernment. 
 
 Similarly situated, a little further north on tlui sanu; 
 street, are the Wellington baiTacks, where the line regiment is 
 quartered. Regiments, whose very names recall brilliant 
 dashes, grim pertinacity and famous victories, have been 
 honsed within the<e walls; and bi-ave men of every rank ha\e 
 added lustre to the military records of Halifax by their 
 presence here. '^I'lu; officers.' quarters have always been a 
 centre of social life; and invitations to their functions are 
 eagerly desired by the ''upper ten."'

 Metropolitan Halifax. 
 
 Lvinii within ;i radius of icn niilc.-; of llio City Hall. I Tali- 
 fax, aro several towns and villages, wliosc business and social 
 life are closely allied with tiiat of the eitv. This ronimnnitv 
 of interests will THidouhtedly lead to annexation in th<' not far 
 distant future. Chief anionu' these places is the busy town of 
 Dartmouth, situated ow the eastcM'n side of the harbor, and 
 havin<>' excellent ferrv connect i(»n with the city. The ferry 
 stcani-boats are of the latest nuxlels, and were 'built in the 
 mother-country. The newest of these — the "Chebucto" — 
 sailed across the Atlantic on her own bottom, manned by her 
 own crew; and althouirh eiu-ountering- some severe weather, 
 arrived salVdy in Halifax, after a voyaoe of about 21 days. 
 Not numy ferry-boats intended only for liarbor traflic, are built 
 so as to stand an ocean journey. The people of Dartmouth 
 are justly proud of this fine boat. 
 
 The Town of Dartmouth is deliohtfully situated, and ha> 
 many ])oints of beauty to show the visitor. Nine miles from 
 the town proper, lies Cow Bay wnth its magnificent beach. 
 This place has hecome so i.^opular as a seaside resort, that it 
 has been called the Sai-atoga of Nova Scotia. It is as yet, 
 however, almost in its virgin state, and charms the visitor 
 by its natural beauty. Possibly within the next decade, many 
 changes will be witnessed in this respect, and wealthy people 
 will huild handsome summer residences here. Other charm- 
 ing drives leading out of Dartmouth are to Eastern Passage 
 and Lawrencetown, along the south shore, the lakes, the 
 Fre^ich village of Chezzeteook, where many pe«)ple still pre- 
 : serve the dress and speech of the Acadians, and to the colored 
 settlement called Preston.

 Tho grcni historio ovont of Darinioulli was tlio raid made 
 by the Jndians in n')l, ulicii many sottlcrs suH'crcd death or 
 <-af»tivity. Hut for tho inosl ])art it lias Ix-cii a l)usy, poaccfid 
 town, with several lar<re and impoiiaiil indiis<ri(>s, ehicf ani.)n<; 
 which are tho sugar-refinery, maniie-railway, rope-walk and 
 nkate-factory. The finest ])iil)lic hiiildin.u- is the Mount Hope 
 Lunatic Asylum, which is hoautifully situated on tho crest of 
 a hill; and being \\\o |)roperty of ihe ]n'Ovincial government, 
 is u \vel]-e(|uipped and well-kept institution. 
 
 From tile heights of Dartmouth a line vi(nv of Halifax, 
 tlie liarbor and the lakes is ohtaincMl. These last extend in 
 a chain to the Waverley gold mines, and are a. favorite resort 
 in summer and winter for picnic and skating parties. ]\lany 
 of the prominent business people of JTalifax have built liand- 
 sorne residences in Dartmouth, preferring snhurhan to urban, 
 life. Tho town has about 7.000 inliabitants, has good schools, 
 and is j/overned by a Mavor and Town Council. 
 
 Rockingham, a ]n*ei^y litth^ village on th(> IVMlford Basin 
 sbore. about four miles from the city, is ra])idly coming into 
 favor as a summer residence. Like its sister village, Bedford, 
 it has a splendid view of that fine arm of the harbor known 
 as liedford Basin. 
 
 Bedford is not only a pretty summer resort, but is the 
 objectiye point of many picnics and sleigh-rides. The drive 
 thither is delightfully picturesque; and a good hotel, o]xmi all 
 the year round, assures the pleasure-seeker of comfort and 
 good cheer. At Bedford, too, is situated the Government Fish 
 Hatchery, where pisciculture has been reduced to a fine art. 
 
 On the Avestern sbore of the Xorth-west Arm, another 
 branch of the harbor, smaller but no less beautiful than Bed- 
 ford Basin, is a primitive little settlement interspersed with a 
 few fine residences. The most luxurious method of reachino-

 Cemeteries. 
 
 Tlie new cemeteries, in accordance with modern ideas, are 
 situated outsi(h' the city i)r »per; but there are still scvt'^rart in 
 use almost in the heart of the town. The ancient burying- 
 grounds are mentioned in the chapter on "Old liandinarks." 
 The cemeteries now in use by the city are: 
 Camp Hill, on Summer street, . 
 Fairview, 3 ]\lile House, 
 Fort Massey (Military), Queen street. 
 Holy Cross, South Bark street. 
 Mount Olivet, Between Dutch Village and Muniford 
 
 Roads. 
 Jewish, ;> Mile House, 
 St. John's, ;) Mile Tlouse. 
 N^aval, Campbell Road. 
 Cerrp Hill Cerreterylies between S])i'ing (iarden and 
 Juhilee Roads, ind Summer and Carleton streets: and is a 
 pretty, well-kept place. 'I'lie usual variety of tond)stones hero 
 mark the resting-i)laces of the dead; the most important one 
 being a plaiji, granite shaft l^earing the inscription '"An honest 
 man's the noblest Avork of God." Here lies Xova Scotia's 
 well-loved son, the Hon. Joseph Howe. 
 
 In Holy Cross Cemetery, whose main entran(;e is on South 
 Park street, is a monument to the memory of another of N'ova 
 Scotia's great men: Sir John S. D. Thora])son. The cemetery 
 is always in good condition, and has a small chapel crowMiing 
 the hill in the southwest comer. 
 
 St. John's Cemetery is an ideal city of the dead, receiving-

 the pine-nee<.ies make ;i soft carpet for the pathways, and 
 deaden even the footfalls of the visitor. Th.e sighing of the 
 pine trees, mingled wiili the ripple of the water, seems to 
 whis])er of rest and peace. During the summer, service is 
 field in the littl(> (•ha])el within the cemelery. nsnally by tlie 
 rector or curate of St. Mark's. 
 
 The Naval Cemetery is on (.'anvpbell Road at the rear of

 THE CITY'S PARKS AND SQUARES. 
 
 The Common. Aiiioji^' l^iigTisli j)(M)])k' o<' oldon times, 
 when building" a citv. an open space was al\vayt« left for the 
 free iiho of the public, and was properly called a ''Common."' 
 Tnlike many other cities, however, Halifax has m^ver attempt- 
 ed to change aspect or use of this place to any very consider- 
 able extent. A few ])aths or walks have been made, and trees 
 have l)een phmted at regular distances along the borders of 
 them, as well as round the Common. Xevortheless. it is still 
 a. big grass-Held, where games are played and reviews and 
 sham battles })artici|)ated in by regular and volunteer soldiers, 
 'i'he Common extends from Cunard street on the north, to 
 Camp Hill on the south; and from Park street on the eas^ to 
 Robie street 'on the west. Here athletic games are practised 
 bv men and boys, ajid hei'e skating is indulged in. The Egg 
 Pond answers for a. skating ])lace in the early winter; ))ut 
 when the ground has once become ])i'operly hardened, the 
 northwest portion of the Common is fh)oded and an open-air 
 rink provided for the children of the city. 
 
 Opposite the Connnon on the Park street side, stands the 
 New Armoury; one of the finest buildings of its kind in 
 America. It is built ol* freestone, from the quarries of iSTova 
 Scotia and New P>runswick. It was designed by the late 
 Thomas Fuller of the Public AYorks department, Ottawa, and 
 is a government building intended for the use of the volunteer

 militia of Halifax. It contains a main liall 250 feet long and 
 110 feet wide, liulited l)y lo arc lights, and heated hy liot 
 water. The llocn- of this drill liall consists of six inches of 
 concrete for a hcil. and ahove this, of six inch spruce hlocks 
 set oji end, and lilled in witii ;i mixture of tar, pitcli and 
 gra\el. On ihe south sidc^ of this hall are the armouries for 
 the (lilferent hattalions, wiiih' at tiie eastern end is a gun 
 room, 10x110 I'eel. loi- ai'iillerv drilling. Above this gun 
 room is a, lecture! room of the same size. A gallery run- 
 round the (^ast, south and \v(\st sides of th(! 'building, from 
 wbich access, may be had to the olTices in the u]iper part of the 
 building. On the north side are tlie officers' quarters, the Bri- 
 gade otiice, and the I). 0. C. othce. The Ladies' Callery, 8 feet 
 Avide, extends the length of the otficers' quarters. The floors 
 of halls, lecture rooms and oHices, are finished, in. polished 
 hard-Avood, and handsome mantels and llre-pLices add to the 
 attractiveness of these apnrtments. Tn the basement are the 
 ]»and rooms, bcnvling alleys and shooting galleries, a, kitcben, 
 the furnace room, and sanitaries. Five large boilers are re- 
 quired to beat the building, nnd supply hot water service for 
 The basins found on the oHice flooi-. The plumbing through- 
 out is 'of the most approved pattern, nnd nowhere has more 
 thorough provision been made for the comfort and convenience 
 of the militia than in the ucav .\rmoury at Halifax. 
 
 The Public Gardens, couiprising about eighteen acres of 
 land, and bounded by S]">ring Garden Eoad, Summer. Sackville 
 and Park streets, are the prVlo of th(> city, and justly so. Tt 
 has been frequently said that, no description could do them 
 justice, as so mucli beauty has never before been contained in 
 so little s]iaice. Ansitors invariably admit that Halifax need 
 fear no rival on this continent, as it Avould be impossible to 
 excel the ])erfectiou of even the minutest detail, save as to

 Point Pl«a«sant Park is the lai'uest pleasure ground tlie 
 peoi)]e of Halifax have. It is situated in the southern 
 extrejnity of the peninsula, heing that portion of the eity 
 owiied by the Crown, and resei'ved for purposis of (bd'ence. 
 It is. however, leased to the city for tin* prowrbial shilling ]»er 
 aminm for !)5) yeai's. and like all imperial prop<'rty. is cltsed 
 to the i)ul)lic during one dav in each yeai". It i- an idyllie 
 spot, and the civic authoi'ities have heei, wise enongh not to 
 interfere with Nature nu)i'e than wa< absolutidy necessary. 
 
 The park consists of nearly two lunidi'cd aci'cs of wooded 
 land, and Jnts (Uit into the harbor, narrowing the entranee to 
 the i^'orthwest Ami. Along these shores are fortitications 
 commanding the entranee to both sheets of watcn-. There are

 also found here remains of an old F.nglisk fort, now called 
 the Seven l^unkers, prohably owing to the. fact that seven 
 hillocks mark the bastions of the fort. Here, too, may be 
 found the Chain Rock, witli its bolts and sta])le, to remind 
 lis of the days wdicn English and I*'ri>ncli contended for the 
 ownership oL* this country. At that time, a huge iron chain 
 was stretched across the mouth of the xVrm to prevent foreign 
 ships entering. In these days of peace there is no chain, and 
 the place is a favorite resort for bathers, few of whom over 
 give a thought to the staple and bolts embedded in the rock, 
 or the stirring times whose story they so silently tell. 
 
 The Martello Tower is not so ancient a fortiilcation as it 
 looks, having been built early in the present century. These 
 towers are not found very freipiently in this country, although 
 they were a popular s}>ecies of defensive fortifications along 
 the luiglish coast^ when the nineteenth century was new. It 
 has now become almost an integral part of the scene; and few 
 pause to consider its puipose, blending perfectly with its sui-- 
 roundings. 
 
 Miles of perfect roadways wind through the park, making 
 it an ideal spot for walking, driving and cycling. Pretty, 
 well-built, pavillions are scattered through the park, and family 
 picnics are of daily occurrence during the summer season. The 
 blue sky, ^hich nowhere seems bluer overhead, the grass and 
 soft pine Jieedles underfoot, the air. laden with the odors of 
 pine trees and ocean sprav, tend to make this pleasure-ground 
 a delight to all the senses. 
 
 Young Avenue, leadino- into the park, is a favorite resort 
 for those learning to ride a hicycle. At the end of this 
 avenue are the handsome gates, the money for which was 
 bequea.thed by the late Sir A^^liam Young, for whom also the 
 avenue was named.

 Mulgrave Park is a ru(;\ir(Ml hill, covered with lar«i-e trees, 
 situated in that portion of the citv known as Richmond. Tf 
 is a. picturesque spot, and through the trees, one gets glimpses 
 of the harbor aiid the Dartmouth shore. Excepting during 
 the hottest weather, a, stream dashes madly down over its 
 rocky bed. emptying itself into a. reservoir at the foot of the 
 hill. In dry weather this im]K'tuous stream becomes a mere 
 thread of languidly moving water. A band stand was built 
 in the northeast corner ol' the park, and occasionally the people 
 of TJichmond are favored "with a band concert; but the park 
 answers the needs of the cliildren of the neighborhood, which 
 is. after all, the primary object of public pleasure grounds. 
 I'or a city of its size. Halifax ha.s done very well in providing 
 so many recreation spots.

 reuularly, oblivious to all else.

 Theatres and other Anuisements. 
 
 iliilifax is m»t a larm' i'ii<)u*;ii city to !>»' a great factoi- in 
 the tlieatrica] world, and i> not recogiiizcd as a show town. 
 There is only one theatre, propeiiy so calh'(l, the Academy of 
 Music oji rh\asnnt street, foot of S])rin,ij: (iardon lload. It 
 lias ii plain exterior, hnt ha? a fairly commodious, ])retty andi- 
 toriiim within. The Aeademy w^as built in 1878, and has 
 witnessed some line productions. The people 'of the cicy, un- 
 willing to be without entei'tainiiient of this sort, liav(^ always 
 lent such hearty sup])ort to aiiil»iiious amateurs, that as a 
 result, sevei'al line oiganizatioiis have sprung into being. 
 C'hief aiiiojig these juay l)e mention the Orpheus Clnh, 
 the ilispniii;!, Club, and the lialil'av Symphony Orcliesti'a. 
 
 iThe Orpheus Club N\a> founded in I880, aiu1 is in a 
 flourishing condition, possessing a hall of its own on Granville 
 street. Here during the season, subcription concerts are given 
 at i-egular intervals, and here too the cluh has rendered 
 souK^ pretty operas and grand oratorios. 
 
 The Hispania Club is a. lU'wei- organization, taking its 
 name from the comic opera '•Jlispania,'"' w^hich the members 
 successfully produced in 181)4. it numbers some of the ])est 
 singers in tln^ city in its ranks, which to the ])oople of the 
 city means a good deal, as Halifax rather prides herselt upon 
 hei" nuisical abilities. 
 
 The Lyceum, Poplai" drove and Starr street, which Mas 
 destroyed by fire March 15, 1891), was at one time the only 
 
THEATRES AM) OTllElt AMVSKMKSTS. 
 
 r,i 
 
 }mil(liii,u- siiitjihlc to llioatrical purposes, and ma!iy (Miiinoiit 
 
 actors have trodden its hoards. 
 
 The Halifax Symphony Orchestra, ^la\ Weil, conductor, 
 
 is a comparatively new organization. It is composed of the 
 hest amateur musicians in the city, and has already done con- 
 cert work which would do ci-cdit to any jtrofessional syniphonv 
 orchestra. The orchestra consists of forty piect^s, and only 
 the hest class of music is ever heard at their concerts. 
 
 Athletics. 
 
 Halifax is an enthusiastic patron of all forms of athletic 
 sports, and it is not therefore surprising to lind so many 
 athletic clubs in so small a city. 
 
 There are a number of ]:)rivate gymnasiums in the city, 
 all doing good work, but no pahlic gymnasium as yet. The 
 Younu' ]\[en's Christiaii Association, corner Prince and (iran- 
 ville streets. St. Patrick's Young Meir's Total Abstinence and 
 iM'uevolent Society. T.ocknian street; St. ^Mary's Young Men's 
 Total Abstinence^ and P>enevolent Society. Barrington street; 
 ('lini'ch of Kngland IHstiinte. Harrington street, and the Mili- 
 tary Club on Cogswell street, all l)oast of well-eiiuipped 
 gymnasiums. 
 
 Field Sports. 
 
 Cricket is ])lay('d in Halifax during the entire season liy 
 all the field clubs. 
 
 Baseball is also a favorite sport with these clubs, and a 
 game may be witnessed once a week on the gi^ounds of some 
 one of the clubs. 
 
 Great, interest is taken too. in Yachting, Eowing, Golf, 
 Tennis, Bicycling, Snow-shoeing, La Crosse, and ITockey, and 
 clubs have been formed to advance the interests of these s])oi-ts. 
 full particulars concerning which will be found under the 
 chapter entitled ''Clubs, Societies and Military Organizations."

 liou ju'e ,\ll)i'o street, the Alexandra and Morris street. Tlie-e 
 are anions* the largest and hest ('(piippiMl. The "Alexandra", 
 jdthon^h one (d' the oldest schools, occupies a new huildini!; 
 containing" all the modern ini])n)venients. It is built of hiick 
 with granit(; trinnnings, and is >il\uited o]i Brunswick street 
 near (Jornwallis street. In the haseujent of this building the 
 jManual 1'raining Sch.ool has its temporary home. 
 
 The School for the Blind is |)erha]js one of the best insti- 
 tutions of its kind in America. Its growth and develo])ment 
 have been marvellous, and are due, in part, to the liberality 
 of the Legislature of Nova Seotia, and in part to the efficiency 
 of the superintendent, Mr. C. F. Fraser and the Board of Man- 
 agement. Xova Scotia has the distinction of being the lirst 
 country to ]irovidc for the education of the blind by the state, 
 and the investmcnit has paid well. Kvery new inventi(»n or 
 method, intended to aid in the great work of really educating 
 the sightless, is thoroughly investigated, and if it stands the 
 test, is ado])ted in this institution. No visitor ought to miss 
 seeing this school, where he will receive a cordial welcome, 
 and find happy children of all ages, whose deprivation is 
 scarcely felt. The school occupies a fine building with main 
 entrance on Morris street. The grounds cover the entire 
 block between Morris, South, and Park streets and Tower 
 Road. 
 
 On Gottingen street, between North and Gernsh streets, 
 is the handsome new building known as The Institution for 
 the Deaf and Dumb. It is built of biiek and freestone, and 
 cost about $50,000. The school has a frontage of 225 feet, 
 is 05 feet deep, and 60 feet high, exclusive of the cupola. It

 people oi' the ]»j'()viiH.-e, as it is supported jiartly by voluntary 
 contriliutions and lieipiests. and partly by a government grant 
 for each ])iipil. The scliool is thoroughly equipped for the 
 areat, work it has to do. and thu children seem very hai)]>y. 
 Spoken language is taught as well as the manual, with great 
 success. As in the Schwl for the Blind, so in this institution 
 every new device, every successful method of teaching deaf 
 mutes will he fonnd in operation here. The building is ad- 
 mirably adapted for its purpose, and every atention is |iaid to 
 the welfare of the children. Visitors are always welcome. 
 
 Among the prominent educational institutions of the city 
 is the Ladies' College in al'tilialioii with Dalhonsie University. 
 The college ai^' includes an Art Studio and Conservatory of 
 Music, and is the only institution in the city providing a liter- 
 ary, scientific, linguistic and musical education for women. 
 Tlie teaching stafl; of the college is chosen from graduates of 
 tho host Canadian. American and English universities, vdiile 
 the stall' of the Conservatory luive completed their musical 
 education in France and (lermany. The College diploma is 
 given to those who are jirepared to enter the university, and 
 that of the conservatorv to tho<e who pass satisfactory examina- 
 tions in harmony and the history of music, and have, more- 
 over, made a record in the recitals which are given from time 
 to time. The college can accomm'odate about four hundred 
 pujnls, one hundred of whom are boarders. So popular is this 
 institution that it generally has its full complement of stu- 
 dents. The Cidleae has a delightful siiuation on Pleasant 
 street. 
 
 La Salle Academy, also on Pleasant street, is a preparatory 
 school for Catholic young men and boys, embracing classical, 
 scientific and commercial courses. It is controlled by the 
 Christian Brothers and is well adapted to its purpose.

 Sunday In Halifax. Althmiiil) the Puritan spirit w;is

 to any extreme, and make of Sunday nothinfr but a. ixay holi- 
 day. Tlic peo])le are too conservative to swin,2^ fai' in either 
 direction, and there is not sutlicient foreign elonienl lo 
 intliieiiee greatly tlie haljits and customs of the citizens. The 
 city sets a good example hy providing open parks and gardens, 
 and [xM-ndtting ilie street cars to run. Inducements are thus 
 offered to those who have been confined to h-ouse or shop all 
 the week, to walk or ride to the lieautiful ]ilaces of recreation, 
 and hy getting c-lose to Mother i^ature, fit themselves afresh to 
 take uj) tlie duties of life. This quiet, healthful form of 
 relaxation hears no relation whatever to the habit of running 
 beer-shops and dance-halls wide open on the Sabbath. Neither 
 does it interfere with church-going, as there always is a goodly 
 percentage of the ivspectable inliabitants of any city who 
 would go to church anyway, and an equal ])ercentage ot this 
 class w ho would not go under any conditions. The means and 
 ])rinci|)al |)laee< of worship will be described in this chapter;

 St. Patrick's vhnyiA on lii iinswick street and St. .JosepliV,

 'I'lie Jews are not very nnmerons in Halifax, although 
 they own a syna<i-o,uiie in which services are held at irreoiilar 
 inten^als. The building- is sitnated on cornei- of Starr street 
 and JTnrd's Lane. This edifice lias been the home of various 
 chnrch societies. The Universalist society worshipped there 
 before its yjresent handsome church was built. It then passed 
 into the hands of tlie Free Baptist society, and this denonvi- 
 nation sold it to the Hebrew society. 
 
 Other Religious Organizations. 
 
 Halifax is a ciiaritably dis])osed city, and it is not there- 
 fore surprising to tind so many relicjious and charitahle organ- 
 izations which are non-sectarian. Their ])urpose is to aid tin; 
 poor, and in the charity Avorthy the name, there is no creed. 
 The North End Mission is chief among these, and does more 
 good ])erhaps, than can he easily estimated. ..nerever a case 
 of destitution is brought to the notice of the missionary in 
 charge, ste))s are taken to relieve the sufferers. Various indus- 
 tries are established in connection with this mission, and luen 
 
 fire given an opportunity to work. 
 
 The Women's Christian Temperance Union has a refuge 
 
 for women, in connection with its coflfee-rooms, corner Grafton 
 
 and Saekville streets. Situated within the district where vice 
 
 and misery ahound, it has ahundant opportunities for seeing

 The Woman's Exchange on Barjingtoii street, is the 
 nieditiiii through which many women either earn their living 
 or increase thei]* pocket money. TItMv may be found articles 
 that represent womeji's woi*k in culijiary, tiseltd and fancy

 The Church of England Institute occrupies a handsome 
 
 building of its own on Barrington street, iiear the City Club. 
 
 It is a. society under the auspices of the J^piscopal church, for 
 
 the l)enefxt of its young men. ^Hie Iniilding contains parlors, 
 
 rece[)tion. reading, and billiard rooms, and a gytnnasium that 
 
 is well patr(mized. 
 
 St. IVIary's Society in the south end. and St. Patrick's So- 
 ciety in the north end, maintain similar organizations, where 
 x\\(\ y(.>ung men of their respective parishes may iind a safe 
 ])lace of recreation. No expense is spared to make these clubs 
 attractive, and of distinct value to those who (;rave social en- 
 joyment. Botb societies own w^ell-ajipointed buildings. 
 
 The Young Men's Literary Association owned the 
 
 Lyceum, and had its reading and recreation rooms there. 
 The building was recently destroyed by fire: but the Associa-

 The Halifax Infirmary is a private institution manag^ed 
 by the Sisters of Charity. Tt recognizes neither race nor creed, 
 however, amons: sufferers, and is administered on remarkablv 
 broad lines, for an institution of limited means. Tt can ac- 
 commodate only a small number of patients, and owing to lack

 The expense to patients is, however, kept at a figure that barely

J Torn OF THE CITY 
 
 ur, 
 
 the A<lmii;illy TIouso niid Xaval CViiictei-v. After ])u<>ii\ir tlu' 
 railway station at Xortli street, the view is ehielly eoiifmed 
 to the residences alono^ the street, with occasional trlimpses 
 of the harbor in open spaces. Portions of Fjockinan street 
 and the beginninir of Barrinirton street are uninvitiuir: but 
 after Buckinirhani stri'et is passed, the a])pearance changes. 
 AVe have now reached the business heart of the city, and every- 
 thiiiir wear< a dilVereiit aspect. At the corner of Duke street, 
 we >9e the handsome new Citv Tlall, which contains not onlv 
 the usual civie otVices, but where is also hx-ated the (citizens' 
 Free T.iltrary. The main entrance to the City Plall faces the 
 historic parade, jireviously described. (Chapter III.) ()|»posite 
 the south end of the ]>arade is St. Paul's church, the history 
 of which i- given elsewhere. (Chapter IV.) Across the street 
 from tlu's*' buildings will be found stores replete with every- 
 thing mankind may desire. Chief among these are the great 
 dr^^ :.! -kIs h(mso of (>. M. Smith ^ Co., the wholesale and re- 
 tail jewellery and silver-ware establishment of Messrs. Levy & 
 !^^ichaels. and the ujt-to-date, thoroughly ecjuipped shoe stores 
 of A. W. Redden cV Co., and L. Higgins iS: (\). Between 
 Prince and Sackville streets is another important business 
 Idock. Tlie St. Paul building, on the southwest corner of 
 Prince and Barrington streets, is one of the finest ofTice build- 
 ings in the city. It is of recent construction and is built 
 of freestone with yellow pressed })rick, surmounted by a big 
 clock. 
 
 On the same side of the street will be found the 
 extensive show-rooms of the Xova Scotia Furnishing Company 
 Limited, one of the largest wholesiilo and retail furniture 
 houses in the Maritime Provinces. On the opposite side are 
 ^Fahon Bros., another of the city's leading dry goods houses, 
 and Miller Bros., piano and organ show'-rooms.

 its west >i(l(' the City Clul), Cliiireii of Mii^rland Institute, and 
 St. Man's ('lul> l)uil(lin«,fs; and on its L-astorn side several 
 pojiiihir millincrv .-lores, lietwecii lilowci's and Salter streets 
 wtands a iar^c. sl)al)l)y, wooden building, now u>ed as hcad- 
 quarlcr.s lor a jdundung firm. There is nolliing to hint of 
 its palmy days, when, as Masojiic Hall, it wa> the centre of 
 all Hjiv ouhlic funetions. It is fast fallinir into deeav: hut 
 pleasant memories are twined ahont il foi- the ohicr generation 
 so i-apidly passing away. Its corni'r >Unw. was laid by the 
 Duke of Kent about 100 years ago. 
 
 We have now reached Sjiring (Jardeti Roa.d. where one 
 line of car-tracks branches off; and hero in a grou]> are found 
 St. Mary^s Cathedral and CJlehe House, St. Matthew's Pres- 
 ])yterian church, old St. I'aulV ccinotery, the Academy of 
 Music, and just beyond it, Governincnt Hou-c. Here, too, 
 the street changes its name once more, and now becomes 
 Pleasant street. There is so much of interest here that it will 
 pay the tourist to leave the car, and look aibout him until 
 the next tram is due anyway. Having visited the churches, 
 inspected the noted graves in the cemetery, (see Chapter IV.) 
 let him turn his attention to (Jovernment House. This is the 
 residence of the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province, and is 
 maintaiiu^d by the people. It is a handsome, substantial liouse 
 of free-stone, built in the days Avhen neither strength nor 
 beauty was subservient one to the other, but. were combined 
 to produce the best effects. The pe()j)le have no occasion to 
 be a.shamed of the hom.e provided for their chief Executive, 
 but point with j)ride to Government House. It is here that 
 visiting membei*s of the royal family, or tlie otlicial represen- 
 tatives thereof, are always entertained: and as befits his posi- 
 tion, the lieutenant-governor gives numerous brilliant fune- 
 tions during the season of society's whirl.

 ju-t a> a. chaii^-e for the hctlcr is a^^ain iiotieeahle wi' iind 
 ourselves at the end (►f the main line, where the ear turns up

 nade, or stroll past the l\oyal ^'acht Cluh to (Jreeid)ank. and 
 thenee to l\)int Tleasant Tark. 'Chapter TV.) 
 
 ConHn<i: hack to In<,dis street we find the ear 
 just ready to elimh the hill, and (piickly take our 
 seats. Then follows a rapid run throuirh one of the nicest resi- 
 dential districts in the eity — the aristocratic south end.. The 
 track follows Tntjlis street to corner oi' ]*ark street and Young 
 Avenue. At the foot of Vouuir Avenue ar(^ the handsome 
 Park trates and lodge, of which oidy a passin<( jjlimpse maybe 
 eano-ht in turning the corner. The car is now facing north- 
 ward, following the line of South Park street to Spring Garden 
 Road. Dn the way wt^ pass Ifoly Cross cemetery, School for 
 the Blind, get a partial view of the Victoria General Hospital, 
 Poor's Asylum, the old Exhibition lUiilding now used chiefly 
 as a skating rink, and Dalhousie College. On one side of 
 South Park street handsome residences abound; on the other, 
 is an ojien park-way extending- to Tower Road, wTiich gives tTie 
 residents of these two streets an unobstnicted view. This 
 spot is known as Victoria Park. 
 
 It will be wise to leave the train at the 
 corner of Spring Garden Road, and enter that 
 charming spot known .as the Pul)lic Gardens. (Chapter III.) 
 Having thoronghly enjoyed the Ijeauties of this unexcelled 
 public pleasure-ground, it may be as well to cross Summer 
 street, and walk through C mp Hill cemetery, the beautiful

 The stranger will lind that several hours may be pleasantly 
 spent traversing the roads and ])aths through this region, and 
 in enjoying the use of the public hat h-hoiises l)uilt by the 
 citv. 
 
 Retracing our ste])s t(v Studley. it is in order to board 
 
 the cai' starting from there, which will carry us over some old 
 
 gr'ound ami stuue we have not yet seen. The route is over 
 
 Cohourg and Spring (Jardeii Koads, meeting the inain line; 
 
 at. South Park street, and continuing on the same tracks past 
 
 the First l>aptist church, ilu> (ieneral's residence, the hand- 
 
 sonu' (.'Ourt House, an imposing building of free-stone, and 
 
 St. Mary's cathedral toJMeasant strt'ct. Wx^yq we turn south 
 
 to Morris street, then east to Mollis street, when we round the 
 
 corner and face, north wards. The rear of (lovernment House 
 
J Ton: or the citv.

 reat-lieil. Ketweeii Salter and Saekville streets are the llalilax. 
 (^xeii. and Alhioii Hottds, the Canadian I'acilic. Dominion 
 Atlantic, and Intercolonial railway ot!ices, as woU fm the otlices 
 of the Halifax Transfer Co., and Nova Scotia Tourist Associa-

 In the block from Saekville to I'rince streets, are the 
 liidifax Cluh. the Western Cnion Telefjraph olVice, and some 
 important stores. 'IMie I'nion Rank occupies the north-east 
 corner of Prince street, while on the western side, occupyinjx 
 the entire block Ix^unded l)y I'rince, llollis, (Jranville and

 the chamheis in which>the two bramdies of th<' House transa(t 
 tlieir business, and the Lejrislative Tiibrarv. 
 
 The walls of the Lo^rislative Council chamber aro 
 adorned with oil-|iaintin,Lrs of early governors, and the tio^ted 
 men who shaped the destiny of the province. Here were

 hill, ami the ear has quite a climl) before turniuijj into ( Jrafton

 turniuij: into ]:irunvswick. To the south lie the citadel and bar-

X. 
 THE HARBOR. 
 
 Even the most dillident of Halifax people can wax elo- 
 quent in speaking of the harbor. It is generally conceded to 
 be the finest, largest and safest harbor in Xorth America, 
 and one of the best in the world. A good plaee to get a 
 full view of it is from the citadel. The city has built at an 
 expense of -^OOO, a walk. 4.") feet wide, all aroimd the top of 
 the Glacis, and provided seats for the use of those who enjoy 
 a bij'd's eye view of the harbor ajid town from this eminence. 
 
 Viewed connnercially. as a placi' whcro safe anchorage 
 may always be had, and where port ciiargis are light. Halifax 
 harbor is a delight, to trading finns. Great Britain has shown 
 her appreciation of it as a naval station and strategic point, 
 by the fortifications she has built here. The harbor is one 
 particularly well adapted for fortifying, the mouth being pro- 
 tected by islands where batteries miglit easily l)e planted. 
 
 The largest of these is MacXab's Island, origiiudly called 
 Cornwallis Island after the founder of the city. It is strongly 
 fortified. On the shore near this i»i* situated York Redoubt, 
 and at Point Pleasant is yet another battery. Lawlors Island 
 is the quarantine station, while George's Island nearer the 
 city, has been referred to before as an impregnable fortress 
 masked under grassy terraces. Within the bay are anchored 
 the war-ships and cruisers forming part of Great Britain^s 
 North Atlantic Squadron. ' . '

 ties. Lawlors Island is the quarantine station, hut "MacT^Tah's 
 Island is a popular picnic resort. There are also fortifica- 
 tions here, Imt the island is for the puhlie use. On one 
 portion of the island was enacted one of the most heroic 
 scenes in the recent history of Halifax. The emi^-ant ship 
 '•Knofland" carrying about 1.300 persons, crew and passengers, 
 and hound foi- Xew York, put into Halifax Harbor f(,r 
 assistance. Asiatic ch'olera having broken out on board. So 
 rapidly did the disease spread that the ship's staff were unable 
 to cope with it, and called for volunteers. Dr. John. Slayter,

 'The i)eople of Neva Scotia are fond of all sports, and 
 bolli ii< amateurs and prolessiunals, have won distinction at 
 li'OMic atid abroad. Xova Scotia's oarsmen are known where- 
 ever aiiuatic sports are in vouiu., her marksmen haA'"e returned 
 frojii Old World contests with proofs of their skill, her fisher- 
 men more than hold their own in the great fisheries of the 
 world, and her wheelmen arc rapidly comino- to the front for 
 speed and endurance. 
 
 This chapter is desi<riied to })e of service to those wlio 
 aim to do m'ore than visit the city for the sake of siirht- 
 seeing- only. A few of the hest roads for wheelinc: are here 
 civen. and some of the well-known resorts for anglers and 
 hunters. 
 
 Bicycle Runs in and about Halifax. 
 
 The wheelman will lind in the fidlowinii" t^ibles a 
 xovy complete list of most enjoyable runs from six to twenty- 
 five miles. 'They have been prepared by ^fr. C. F. Tremaine, 
 Secretary of the Ramblers' Cycle Club. 
 
 Cyclists will find that durini^ the month of September, 
 it will be wise to carry extra covering for shoulders and even 
 a pail' of gloves will be a comfort, as the early morning or 
 night is apt to be rather cool.

 Rod and Line. 
 
 Disciples of Izaak Walton may find all the sport they 
 desire within easy distance of the city. The Harbor, Bed- 
 foi'd Basin, and tlie Arm, abound in oodfish, hake, and 
 mackerel, for those who prefer deep-sea fishing, wliile all the 
 brooks and lakes about the city give good returns for a day's 
 angling. The trout found in these waters are small, but 
 numerous. 
 
 Salmon, bass, and greyling arc f<nind in Grand Lake, 
 twenty miles from the city. Trains run daily to this place, 
 so that even the traveller with but one day to spare, may 
 have a good string of fish to show in return for very little 
 expenditure of time or trouble. 
 
 Musquodoboit Harbor, tweniy-eight miles from Halifax, 
 may be reached by coach, which leaves the coach office on 
 Argyle street three times a week. It is a pleasant journey, 
 and is the favorite fishing-grounds of those who desire to 
 make a ])ig catch of sea-trout. There is no part of the 
 
WITH WHEEL, l!OI> AX/) (.i'X. 
 
 I .'.; 
 
 province where one may nrtt fipli, but the place.- lierein men- 
 tioned are those easiest of access for the passing visitor. 
 
 Chims may he du<i- on the shores ol' Steven's IsUmd in Bed- 
 ford Basin, and alonir tlie Cow Bay Beach a few miU',- out of 
 Dartmouth. Lobster-fishing is quite an industry along the 
 Bedford Basin coast, and lie who has once joined a lobster- 
 spearing party has liad an cxiterience hr will not readily 
 forget. 
 
 Shot and Powder. 
 
 Hunting and ^liooliug may be relics of our l)arbaric 
 ancestors, l)ut they are, nevertheless, sports which have ardent 
 followers among all races. There is considerable game in 
 Xdva Scotia, the game laws being so strictly enforced that 
 birds and animals are not allowed to become extinct. Law- 
 rencetown. Cole llarlior. Hannnonds Plain, Chezzetcook, 
 Musquodoboit, and Stowiackej are visited by hunters in search 
 of sni])e and woodcock and usually partridge; but during the 
 present year, partridge shooting is prohibited. Of these 
 places only Stewiacke has train connection with Halifax, the 
 others being reached by stage-coach or private team. 
 
 Squirrels, rabbits, raccoon and an occasional fox may be 
 bagged by the sportsman who has the time to go further 
 from the city. Moose may yet be found during the season, 
 and in tlie mountain regions even a bear may be added to 
 the hunters spoils. 
 
 For Beach Birds sucli as plover, yellow-legs, and sand- 
 ]iipcrs, the hunter must go to Seaforth, Lawrencetown, Cole 
 Harbor and Chezzetcook. Sea-gulls and loon are often shot 
 on Bedford Basin. Those who intend coming to N"ova Scotia 
 simply for fishing and sh'ooting, will of course find much 
 fuller information than is here given, necessary for the fitlfil-
