TI I IC K I'^ is s()nietbiii}4" very distinclivt; about I'rincc lulwarcl Island with its brilliant atmosphere, its depth of color, its iiixurianee of foliage. One almost thinks he is in the tropics in that intensel\- clear air, e\er\ object shows so vi". I'ly and colors seem to breathe, they have s(> much life in tliem. The Island seems to have been steeped in sunshine, giving the earth its deep red hue, the foliage its luxuriant green. It is a veritable garden province and its rolling hills are dotted with hapfiy homesteads and farms. Charlottetown. the Islantl's Capital, is a prosperous city of about twelve thousand inhabitants, just emerging into the name and appearance of metropolitan status. It has manv things to recommend it to the tourist and sightseer. It is a I)usy cit\-. situated upon a magnificent harbor, and its witle strt^ets and avenues ot shade trees, not to mention its substantial architecture, give it an aristocratic appearance. P)Ut the chef d'oeuxre of the citv is Oueen .S(|uare with its Legislative lUiilding in the old colonial st\le, flanked on either side by the Court House and Post Office. Then facing the s(iuare are rows of handsome business blocks. There are few churches in Canada that surpass in magnitude St. Dunstan's R.C. Cathedral. It is a magnificent structure antl the architectural feature of the city. .St. Paul's (Anglican) and .St. James ( Presbx terian) are also fine edifices. Among the other notable buildings are Prince of Wales College, Hishop's Palace, City Hall, TIk- Seats of Ajthoritv, the Colonial Building, Court House and ToM Office. i!^^^^ttS Fort Edward and the Dogs of War. St. James Presbyterian Church. St. Paul's Anglican Church. Masonic Temple, Prince lulward Island and Charlottetown Hospitals and the Public Schools. ^On the western shore is Victoria ParK, a delightful recreation <^round, with it^ pretty driv(;s and lawns for sport'-. It is approached by a breezy roadway and at its entrance are the guns and rani|)arts of I*\»rt Kdward. There are pleasant tlrives all about Charlottetown and one of the princi[)al ones is that to Warren I-arni. the chief historic spot on the Island, the site of the old French Capital, Port La [oie. Now nothini^ remains but mounds and excavations, while some old relics duj^ up there art: remintlers of the P'rench community and of P"ort Amherst, which was afterwards !)uilt by the h^ntjiish at the spot. Numerous e.xcursions arc offered from Charlottetown by water to various south shore j)laces, and the drives over the rollini^ hills antl aloni;" pastoral valleys are charmint;. Charlottetown is connectiil with the outside world 1)\ several lines of steamers, includinj^ those of iIh' Charlottetown Steam Navigation Co., running to Pictou anil Point dii Chene.

ABEAUTIFTL drive across the Island from Charlottetown brinsrs one to the charmino- seaside resorcs of the north shore. These are also reached tn.ni nearby stations of the Prince Edward Island Railway. Here are fifty miles of white sand dunes or hills that the billows of old Atlantic haxe piled u,, and fifty miles of glisteninjr white sand beach as hne as dust and as hard as a billiard l)oard. There is no finer surf bathino- in the world, and the facilities are excellent for all kinds of sport, deep sea fishin- trout"\noli,io-. wild fowl shooting- aiul so on. Tracadie. .Stanhope, C,,ve Head and i5rackley Heach, are almost due north from Charlottetown and about fifteen miles away. These resorts are grouped within a few miles of each other and are all delii^htfiil places ofiferinu- the full list of attractions enume- rated and some ad- ditional. At Tracatlie is the Acadia Hotel and the Tracadie i^olf links, from here too The Tracadie Fisheries. / o (U 3 C Oi > < 3 O I c u E c o O O the Acadian settlemciUs can ha reached in a day's excursion. At P,rackley Beach is Shcvw's Hotel, at Cove Head is the CHff House. At Stanhoi)e is the summer residence of Ale.x. McDonald, of Cincinnati, the .Standard Oil ma.trnate. Rustico is further to the west and the Seaside Hotel is located here. This is reached by coach from Charlottetown. or by train to Hunter River. Summerside. on Fk-deque Hay, is the commercial centre of the western end ot the Island, and is headquarters for wild fowl shootin- in Richmond Hay. Near Summerside is Malpeque! another charmino- north shore res.,rt. At eastern end of the Island are Souris and Georcretown.' Prince lulward Island is beino- visited annually l)y an increasino- number of tourist.s. The trip thereto, whether by direct steamer or by rail and water route via Nova Scotia and New Brunswick towns and cities, is a pleasant and varied one, and on the Island are found every form of summer amusement, excellent hotel accommodation and a climate unsurpa.ssed on the continent. The air is remarkably fresh and buoyant, there is an entire absence of foi;- and the temi)erature is cool with breezes always blowin,^- from the C.ulf. Were the north shore within easy reach of as larj^e a population as the New Jerse\- coast resorts it would attract as main huiulreds of thousands of tourists and health seekers e\-er\- xcar. l'eo|)le, however, are learninn- to take more extendetl vacation trips, to liiint miu new places and the I.sland will attract e\er increasiuL^ thrones.

WINTER communiaition is one of the most en<.TossinKM|uestions with the Islanders. I^or years they have been a.iritatin.- repeated assaults force a passa-e throu-h Our illustrations show both the new way and the oltl way of reachin- the Islaiurin winter. Until recendy a oreat deal of the travel was in ice boats crossinir between the Capes Iraverse and Tormentine, a distance of nine miles, '{'he standard ' ice boat is eiohtecn feet lono- and hve feet wide. It has a doui,le keel, which serv.s for runners. The crew are hardy, couraoeous men and the passen-ers work their passa-e. b:ach man is strapped to the boat and starting out from the shore they shove the boat over the hummocks and holl.ms o( the hard ice. Occasionally one of the party drops in an air hole- but the strap saves him. I hen the boat is at len-th launched in the channel of the Straits and the oars do the work until the hard ice of the other shore is reached. If there is much 'dolly" (a sort ..f slush which fre(|uently floats in the water to the depth of several feet) the difficulties of the; journey are j^reatly increa.seL It takes from three and a half to six or seven hours to cross nn-] -.m the coldest day crews and passenj.(ers arrive at their destination drippin-- with perspiration.
