Why We Keep j^Ioliday. ! i -, The setting apart of ten days I'ur liuJiday and rejoicin^^ is a unif(UL' event in the history of St. John. Heretofore, one day has been deemed sutileient for the celebration of any special occurrence, and really gala occasions have teen few and far between. The people have been too busy, building and rebuilding 3, city, to rest from their labors for more than twwity-fonr houi-s at a time, and they might still feel tliat they could ill afford the time for merry making, were not the occasion one of more than ordinary importance. It is, indeed, the il)eginning of a new and important cliapter in rheir history. The i-ecent l^nion of St. John and T'ortland has created a new city. With .a population of over 4o,000. it is the fourth in size in Camida. It is, beyond question, the third in importance, for simultaneously with the civic union, has <;ome the joining of St. John and Montreal by the completion of the (Ainadiaa Pacific Railway. This means nuich for the future, it means closer relations with the great West, the facilities for handling an extensive West India trade, the incei)tiou of new enterprises, the enlargement of various industries and the development of our many and varied resources. It u fitting tliat the occa.sion should be celebrated with more than ordinary display. For this reason, the ten days from July lil'nd to July 31st will be devoted to a Carnival, with a carefully arranged progranune for each day. The details will be found in the foUon-ing pages, together with a general account of what St. John has done for it.self in the past, is doing now and expects to do in the future.

JOHN, N. B. Summer Garniual, SOME FACTS ABOUT ST. JOHN. Les8 than a generationngo, in July, 1862, the New York Herald vohintcored the information that " New Brunswick is a Province of 200,000 Inhabitants, who are fed by the United States, and who ■wouUl starve to death in six weeks if their supplies of food from this oountry were cut off. The chief city, St. John, is a group of huts, many of them inhabited by rogues who have made a few peiniies since the war broke out, by lending their names to illicit traders who have run the blockade," The Herald was at that time the leading newspaper of America, and there were doubtless many good people who ac cepted its easy lesson in geography as the literal fact. To tell the truth, St. John was but little known to the rest of the world in those days. English and American geographers, differing widely in many other things, had agreed in passing by the province with a mere mention that the inhabitants lived by lumbering and fishing, while they had united in picturing tlie gloomy horrors of the Bay of Fundy, the tides of which were scarcely less dangerous than the Maelstrom, and over which hung a pall of perpetual fog. Even the Upper Provinces of Canada, with which St. John is now so closely united, knew little or nothing of their neighbors down by the sea. What is now the fourth city of the Dominion was rather out in the cold in those days. Yet it was even then a flourishing place, maligned and misrep- resented as it was. It had grown slowly and solidly from humble beginnings, gathering strength and confidence as the years passed by. Its business was on a firm foundation. The products of the country's forests were carried across the seas in its own ships, which challenged the world for speed and beauty. It enjoyed a profitable commerce in many other things. Its people had confidence in them- selves and faith in the future. They employed the opportunities they had and hoped for better things. These better things, they knew, were to be found when the facilities for intercourse with the outside world were enlarged. The (5) M- i ! i i I! 6 ADVKiniSllMEXTS.

Since 1872, when the city became the terminus of a road connect- ing with the great railway systems of the United kStates, the travel to and fro has grown greater in volume each season. A few years later, the Intercolonial was completed to Quebec, and new commercial ties began to be formed. These have grown to he of vast extent and importance. The trade relations between New Brunswick and the Upper Provinces are no longer a matter of speculation. They are permanent, tangible and steadily on the increase. ^lore than that, they arc reciprocal. The cry that the Lower Provinces are being made the slaughter market of Canada, once so common, is no longer heard. Both sections are willing parties to the contract in which €ach finds substantial gain. With the completion of the trunk lines uniting us with ('anada and the United States, a wonderful impetus was given to railroad construction throughout the Province. Branch lines, which act as feeders now reach in all directions, while the original Western Ex- tension road has indeed extended, not only over Western and North- western New- Brunswick but into the Province of Q,ucbec itself. A glance at any recent map will show how abundantly we are provided with railway facilitie.j. "Time's noblest offering is the last." The completion of the Canadian Pacific railway between St. John and !^[ontreal is by far the most important which has taken place in the history of this province in recent years. Ifr brings the two cities within fifteen liours of each other, and it makes St. John, already so notable as a seaport, a great railway centre as well. As a terminus of the only road on the continent which stretches from ocean to ocean, we are brought nnich nearer than we were to the great markets of the West, and we are armed with new weapons for the prosrrution of a great industrial warfare. The central location of St. John and the readiness with which it maybe reached, renders it a fitting place in which to hold a Summer Carnival which can be attended by people from all parts of (Janada and the United Stat<>s. In view of such expected visitors, every effort is being made to have a .series of celebrations on a scale never before attempted, even rn this city which has seen more than one notable demonstration in the past. They will begin on Monday, July 22nd, and will continue until and including Wednksday, I it I, ii ■'I J njuiuiiui mrnnram 10 .\ OV J:KTI8EMf:XTS. BLAIR & CO., BANKERS.

To reach St. John from Boston, by the finely equipped trains of the Boston & Maine, Maine Central and New Brunswick railways, requires only fourteen and one-half hours. Between New York and St. John (all by rail) the time is twenty -four hours. Excursionists who desire pleasant trips by water may go from New York to Boston by the Sound steamers, and thence to St. John by rail, the whole journey being made in a trifle less than thirty hours. Or they may come from Boston by the steamers of the International line, which takes something less than thirty hours for the passage. By the trains of the Canadian Pacific railway, the time required to reach St. John from Montreal will, it is expected, be reduced to fifteen hours, by the time the Carnival is opened. Even at the present time, the distance fro ni Chicago to St. John is covered in a trifle over two davs and three hours. I^i'ss than three davs are re- quired to come from St, Paul and Minneapolis. The great cities of the West are nearer to us to-day than was Halifax in the memory of hundreds who are still in active business life. The city of St. John is no longer out in the cold. It is a great trade centre, and a con- verging point for constantly increasing travel. v The relation of St, John to other important cities, in point of time, may be seen by the following table: Halifax to St, Jolip., Ottawa " ...

Between noon and midnight of the 2()th of June, 1877, nearly two hundred and fifty acres of the business portion of the city were swept out of existence by fire. So sudden was the fearful destruc- tion that scarcely anything was saved. The accumulations of nearly a century were" reduced to ashes. Fortunes vanished in a breath. The rich became poor, and were reduced to the position of dej)endents on the charity of otlvers. The ruin was well nigli compbte. Nearly all the public buildings — the post office, custom V "y^iT^r^^i^l^-ig^f - ~ -=3Sl^6=^-^^;i;^i=r?SS:;_:iir::-^-^=i-= ■-- -•--.—- — -J; - --"■ -""4;—; il* irl CUSTOM HOUSE. house, most of the churches, and all but one of the banks — shared in the general fate. More than fifteen thousanil people were rendered homeless, and r "arly thirty million dollars' worth of property was destroyed. It was a terrible blow, but not a crushing one. Abundant hope and indomitable energy remained. Out of these has grown a new city — more substantial and fair to look upon than the city of former years. Only here and there are seen the scars of the great misfortune. Better still, prosperity has returned. The reaction which followed on the first enthusiasm of reconstruction led to discouragement.

This natural despondency, justified at the time by clouds which loomed on the commercial horizo»i, has yielded to a firm confidence in the resources of the present and the prospects of the future. Nor is this confidence a temporary enthusiasm, such &B is found in the early days of mushroom cities. It is based on a substantial foundation of constantly increasing business. In the days when shipbuilding was at its height, the people looked forward with gloomy forebodings to the calamities which would follow its decline. At length the evil day came, and the future looked very dark indeed. Pessimists predicted that the city had seen its best days, and that nothing could supply the place of the departed industry. Time has proved that they were wrong. The blow was a discouraging one at first, but the" people took heart again, and new, important and permanent industries have taken the place of • that single one on which so much dejDended in former years. Nantucket and New Bedford have been at a stand-still since whaling -ceased to be profitable, but St. John was not so easily checked in its onward march. The people have passed through one calamity after another, gaining greater courage with each. Tht'ir forefathers founded their city on a hilly peninsula. With inci'cdible labor streets have been hewn out of solid rock, and the lesson thus learned of what human energy can accomplish has not been lost on the people. They have been taught that heaven helps those who help themselves. Their trials have made them more trinig and self-reliant than if uninterrupted prosperity had always been their lot. The factories and workshops of to day bear witness that the resources of the place are not confined to one or two crafts which the fluctuation.^ of business may imperil or destroy. Every year sees more capital invested in mechanical and manufacturing enterprises. Each season finds the circle of our trade enlarged. St. John is ambitious to be still more to the front than it already is. Its position is one which admirably fits it to be the winter port of the Dominion of Canada. This is so well known and recoanized, even by the residents of rival ports, that no arguments are brought against it. The oi)ponent3 of St. John rely on " influence " being used in their behalf rather than on any supposed advantages possessed by their own respective ports. It is a matter of fact that, with the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the port of St. John is the most direct, safe and reliable route for mails, passengers and freight between the upper provinces and ' il *,!! m 18 A Dv ertisemj:nts. anie? & Bo .., *<•••» "•^^'••'••^ •.■<„.,,.. \\rHOLESALjg l>Rir QOODS I ST.

Those who have grown weary of the artificial life of such places? should spend their .■summers in St. John. It may be asked what there is to see? Now, it should be- remarked that the majority of summer tourists are not engaged in a frantic endeavor to see something. They want rest, recreation and change of air. Whatever they may incidentally see which is of interest to them pleases, and possibly instructs them. Whatever- is beyond ^hat, requiring the aid of guides and guide books, is apt 10 bore :hem. It is not rest, and it soon ceases to be recreation. AVhat they want is quiet enjoyment. They can find it to their hearts' content in this vicinity. We havp no old ruins. Those in search of such sights are recommended to visit the ancient city of Quebec, or spend half a uay in Halifax. We are a live, pushing people, who do not live in the past, but in the present, with our faces to the future. What- ever we may have savors of this day and generation. We have our industries and connnerce, our ships and railways, our publio and private edifices, our institutions and our homes. All around us is as fair a countiy as God has given to man. Near us, and within easy reach, are lakes and streams teeming with fish, which but wait the advent of the sportsman. A river, rivalled in beauty only by the Hudson, flows by our doors. The lover of nature may find all that can satisfy the longings of his heart. Above all, we have our glorious summer climate. Only those who have experienced the terrible discomforts of living in places where the hot days and oppressively sultry nights exhaust every energy and make life a burden, can realize the . absolute luxury of living in such a country as this. The people themselves, many of them, do not appreciate the boon. It seems so natural to them to have the sun's heat tempered by breezes from the sea, and to lie down to sound, refreshing slumber in the cool summer night*", that they cannot pity the residents of less favored climes. They mildly wonder when they hear of places where it is necessary to sleep beneath the shelter of mosquito nettings. Such inventions are unknown here, because they are needless. The mosquito and black-fly are not among the visitors to St, John ia the summer season. With such a climate there can be comparatively little disease. The situation of the city close to the sea, and enjoyiitg cool breezes throughout the summer months, precludes the existence of fever i < it i:«?' -r; ans m 26 Advertisements. NEW DRY GOODS STORE.

The stoutest buildings crumbled to ushcs. The Custom House, whicli with its massive granite walls was deemed a tower of strength, burned with indescribabU" fury, while the granite itself became a powder which the whirlwind curried away. By midnight the work of destruction was complete. What had been a city was a waste of blackened ruins. These ruins covered nearly all of the space originally laid off at right angles as the city proper. In the early days after the landing of the Loyalists, that part of St. John north of Union street was private property, and hence the rectangular plan has not been so closely adhered to in that district, while in that part formerly known as Portland, the presence of the huge rock, Fort Howe, has made Main street a somewhat winding way. In rebuilding the burned district any triHiug irregularities which had existed were corrected. When new buildings were erected, care was taken to prevent encroachments on the street lines, and in the light of past experience, wonderful improvements were wrought. The structures were subjected to rigid inspection, with a view to the prevention of future fires, and it would be impossible now, under any circumstances, for a tire to sweep over the same area again. Many of the buildings thus erected are of a particularly good class, both as regards construction and appearance. Notable in- stances of this are to be found on almost every street, either in the way of public institutions, stores or private residences. An especi- Ally good impression is gained from an inspection of King and Prince William streets and the Market Square. The latter may be called the heart of the city. From it the streets radiate to the east, south and north, while to the westward are the wharves crowded with shipping from many ports. Leading to the eastward is King street, a broad, beautiful thoroughfare which would adorn any city on the continent. It was largely due to its great width that the fire was prevented from spreading to the north. King street contains some of the most ex- tensive stores in the Maritime Provinces, and is the scene of constant travel and traffic by night and day. It extends across the city, from water to water, with the King Square as a green and refreshing spot midway in its length. The eastern part is chiefly occupied by private residences, and a portion of it is the highest ground in the old city. It was formerly much higher, for where now is seen a broad, smooth roadway was once a rough, high hill of solid c ' I' J '111 HI i I P.4 Advertisement. CAHADIAH PACmC ET. |i II II It :i- ST.

It is one of the instauces of the great labor which hsLS been expended in making St. John what it i.s to-day. '"^ . Prince William street, running south from the Market Square, is another instance of the same well applied labor. In the early years it was rough, rocky and forbidding enough to have daunted even the stout hearts of the Loyalists. At its now busiest part, wliere the City Hall and Post Office stand, was once a mass of rock through which a narrow passage way gave scant nwm for a horse and cart to pass. Take the street as it is now, straight, roomy, lined with block after block of iiandsome, subsUintial buildings, and it is a thoroughfare of which the citizens should be proud. The finest building on it is the Custom House, which is not only most hand- some in its finish but is most complete in all its appointments. Pvirallel with this street and lying to the west of it, is Water street. It is not as fair to look upon as its neighbor, but a large amount of business is done within the tall buildings by which it is lin'd. Jutting ofl" from it at every block are the wharves which form a large portion of the water front, their warehou.^:es holding the merchandize of every land to which the ships of Britain sail. Northerly from the Market Square is Dock street, which with Mill street, into which it leads, is one of the busiest of the great thoroughfares. It is the chief medium of communication between the northern and southern districts, and is the avenue bv which all the trafiic to and from three great railway systems must pass. It v/as widened after the tire, but even now at some hours of the day its capacity for vehicles is severely taxed. Running eastward from the junction of Dock and Mill streets is Union street, always a busy highway, and which of laie years has assumed a new and important position as a trade centre. It crosstas the heads of such streets- as ruu north and south in the original city plan, and apart from its <^v:u commercial activity is a great feeder for the sections between whicii it is the dividing line. Other notable street*, such as Charlotte, Waterloo, etc., will naturally attract the attention of the stranger, and will tell their own story. The northern district is conveniently reached by the hor-i ears, which p'*'- a choice of two routes until Main street is gained. This is p. principal business thoroughfare, and as already siated, is some- what winding in its course. It was formerly "the ruad to Indian House," which is, or has recently been, ludiautowi, wicu: the river St. John touches the western extremity of the di^Lricl. •w ! ly s»- ■"W 9» Advertisements.

Summer Carnival. 41 Until the recent act of Union, Portland was a city by itaelf, with a municipal government wholly separate from that of St. John^ though only an imaginary line divided the two. It was here that the first English settlers established themselves, in 1764, nineteen years before the Loyalists founded St. John. The rocky height known as Fort Howe was for many years occupied as a military post. In course of time it is likely to exist only in tradition, as does the Block House Hill in the southern district. The solid rock will disappear before the united energies of the people, and broad avenues will have their way where are now but rough and toilsome ascents. To see the beauties of the northern district, one nmst go to the hills which lie to the north. There will be found handsome private residences, with' well kept grounds, and much that is attractive in the way of suburban scenery, fn this vicinity lie the grounds which will in future years be devoted to the purposes of a public park. Nature has done everything to adapt them to such a. use. The con- tour of the land, the scenery and the presence of several beautiful lakes, give all the conditions needed for making pleasure grounds not surpassed by any city on the continent. Across the harbor from what has been known as the city proper, is the West side. From the heights, on which are some fine private residences and grounds, excellent views of the bay, harbor, city and surrounding country may be had. On the Bay Shore are found smooth stretches of clean, beautiful beach, forming natural bathing places, which need only a slight expenditure for bath-houses, etc., to become as attractive resorts as are found at any watering place in Canada. The water of the Bay is of a higher temperature than that on the open seaboard, and the tide, warmed in its flow over the- sands heated by the summer sun, will not chill the most sensitive bather. The bathing facilities to be found iii the vicinity of St. John have never been extolled as they should be. Perhaps, as in the case of the climate, the citizens do not realize how many advantages they really possess. The French fort, begun by Claude LaTour in I60I, stood on the harl»(»r front on the West side, opposite Navy Island. The ruins can still be traced, and the spot is historically one of the most interesting in the Maritime Provinces. The story of the heroic defense of the fort by Lady LaTour, in 1645, of its capitulation to Charnisay on condition that the garrison should lie spared, of the violation of this solemn pact, and tiie death of Lady LaTour through grief, have 42 Advertisements. til 2 deal Sort/i isei.'iptioii r*i*ic»e. #1.00 Per Year.

No sij2:htseer visits St. John without having a hnk at the falls and the bridi^es l>y wh;.h they are spanned. The river St. John is peculiar in the manner of it.-? outlet. Taking its rise among the forests of Maine, it Hows for nearly five hundred miles until it mingles with the ocean in the Bay of Fundy. In its course the body of water is swollen by tributaries which are of themselves rivers of no small magnitude. At times it expands into a sheet of w?\ter more than a mile in width, and its volume receives additions alnnxst to its very mouth. Yet all this mighty stream, draining seventeen millions of acres in Maine, Quebec and New Brunswick, is forced at its outlet through a rocky gorge but a few hundred feet in width. Hence, when the tide in the harbor is low, the water of the river, struggling to escape, forms a fall of about fifteen feet, with fearful whirlpools in which no boat cou^d live. At high tide the fall is re- versed, and the sea pours through the gorge, battling with the river, •It is only at half tide, when the watei-s are comparatively calm, that the passage of the falls can be made in safety. Across this gorge have been thrown two bridges — each a splendid specimen of its kind. The Suspension Bridge, seventy feet above the highest t' les, and liaving a span of 6o() feet between the points of suspension, wa.s completed in 1853, and was at that time the fourth in size in the world. The project was conceived by one man, the late William K. Reynolds, and by his energy and pei-severance was carried to completion. The bridge is supj)orted on towers about fifty-three feet high, by ten cables, each 1,030 feet in length. The wire in them, if extended, Avould reach a distance of 600 miles. Side by side with this bridge is the Cantilever, erected by the St. John Bridge and Railway Company in 1885. It is a very sub- stantial structun\ constructed almost entirely of steel, and has a main span of 477 feet, or nine feet more than the railway bridge at Niagara* Over it passes all the traffic to and from the West, by the New Brunswick and Canadian Pacific Railways, Overlooking the falls is the Provincial Lunatic Asylum, with its beautifully arranged and admirably kept grounds. Beyond it lies the flourishing village of Fairville, which may ere long .aspire to be more than a village, and become, possibly, a part of the City of St John.

C)ne nuiy drive through the suburbs at the northern part of the (iity to the Kennebeecasis, or crossing the suspension bridge may take the course of the shore of the Bay of Fundy through Fair- \ille and Manawngonish. This is a particularly good road, on high ground, commanding the bay and giving a viow of Nova Scotia in the distance. The breeze from the sea is most enjoyable and in- vigorating. Atiother drive is to the eastward by the Marsh road, which otters a vaiieiy of routes to suit all tastes. The lumrest place •of interest is the Rural Cemetery, ;uiiniral)ly located on gently rising ground, and in everyway naturally adapted to be the resting place of those who have gone hence to retu ; .1 no more.

The parish of Simonds, directly east •of the city, also otfers some attractive drives, with an abundance of bracing sea air and a succession of gloi'ious views of laud and water.

In the days of old, when now forgotten races peopled the earth, the River St. Jolm flowed to the sea as calmly as does the St. Lawrence at Quebec, or the Hudson as it nears New York. It is believed that it mingled with the harbor on the east side of the D ii; %- t ii iil 50 Summer Carnival. city and that its course was through the valley which cuJs at Courtenay Eay. Later, by some gigantic convulsion of nature, the- surface of the country was changed, the rocks ^rere riven, and th& TRINIIY CHUKCH. imprisoned river found its way through the dark, deep chasm where- the fails contend with the sea to-d^iy. Summer Cahnival. 61 These falls, an object of wonder and admirution in our day, Averc to the primitive Indians a subject of reverence and awe. The mind which "sees God in the clouds and hears him in the wind," placed the abiding place of the Manitou within the whirlpools. There was in the wildest part of the angry waters a giant tree, floating upright, and held in its place by invisible means. It was there when the French came, and they described the top of it which appeared above water as being nearly as large as a hogs- head. They attempted to dislodge it, bur their united efforts could not accomplish the task. At times it would disappear for days, to reappear again, lo the great joy of the red nien, who had fear that their deity was oHended and had hidden his face frmn them. Then they would pay h(»mage to it, and endeavor to propitiate it l»y offer- ings of furs, which they fastened to it by nieaiis of arrows. It was to them the token and visible sign of a God who had made the earth and waters upon the face of the earth. The falls once passed, the river becomes as smooth and tranquil as any river in the world. It is more beautiful than the majority, and by many it has been called the Rhine of America. Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage has spoken of it as "the Rliinc and the Hudson commingled in one scene of beauty and grandeur." No one can realize the beauty of it until he has made the i)assagc up or down between Fredericton and St. John. The distance is eighty-four miles, the fare only a dollar, and if desired, several round trip ex- cursions can be arranged in connection with the railways. The St. John comes third in regui'd to size among the rivers which empty into the Atlantic fn)m the North American continent. Of the seventeen millions of acres drained by it and it.s tributaries, nine millions are in this province, six millions in Maine, and two millions in the Province of Quebec. From the mouth the river is navigable for vessels of 150 tons as far as Fredericton. Reyond that steamers of light draft, propelled by stern wheels, go as far as Woodstock, about 150 miles from the mouth, and when the water allows, can run to the Grand Falls, seventy-five mikss further. The river is therefore practically open to navigation for 225 milejs, or about half its entire length. The falls offer an effectual barrier to further progress, but above them steamers of light draft can proceed from forty to eighty miles, according to the season. The river at the falls pours through a gorge SOO feet wide, the rocks on each side rising in places to a height of 200 feet, and forms a cataract with a descent of seventy-five I'eet.

Tourists in search of a summer's outing can make a most enjoy- able tanoe voyage up the St. Jolin and its tributaries, portaging around the falls and across short stretches of country to the head waters of other rivers which have their outlets in the river and gulf of St. Lawrence and the Bale des Ohaleurs. A great choice of good routes is thus offered, and though the man in search of adventure may find as wild a country as he chooses, some of the journeys are so easy that ladies may, as they have done, accomplish them with comfort and safety. Returning to the trip between Fred- ericton and Saint John, some of the most charming bits of scenery to be found in America may be enjoyed. Nor is thi^; ofa char- acter to become njo- notonous. AVitli every mile some new beauty of landscape is discovered, and the eye never wear- ies of gazuig on the ever varying panorama. Rugged highlands, crowned with graceful foli- age alternate with rich green fields of the wonderfully fertile intervale lands.

One of the most attractive spots between St. John and Hampton is Rothesay, a village which consists chiefly of tasteful suburban residences occupied by city merchants and others. It is only nine miles from St. John, and is beautifully situated with respect to the river and surrounding country. Between Rothesay and the city is the famous stretch of water where so many rowing contests have been decided in past years. The most notable of these was the race between the Tyne Crew, of Newcastle, England, and the Paris Crew, of St. John, in 1871, when James Renforth, of the former crew, last his life by over-exertion. Westward from the city on the line of the New Brunswick Rail- way are such delightfully situated spots S's Westtield, which like ]^^thesay is a favmvd spot for summer residents, and offers maiiv attinctions for tliosi who se«^k a day's outing amid green woods and beside })leasant waters. Taking the City of St. John as a starting point, and returning to it from time to time as a fresh starting point, a large number of pki'i's may l)e easily and quickly visited. Here are some of the routes: doing to Fn'derictou by steamer and returning by the New Brunswick Railway, or vice vei-sa, will require two days, giving an opportunity to see something of the Capital and the flourisliing towns of Marysville and Gibson on tlie other side of the rivei'. The journey may be prolonged by a trip to Woodstock and Grand Falls, and instead of taking the direct rr>ute to St. John, a run over the Northern tt Western Raihvay may be made to Newcastle and Chatham, on the North Shore. From these places' St. John can be re.a< bed by the Intercolonial Raihvay. taking in tlie })laces of interest on the way. Ij and all kinds of Casllnijs, Steam Eng^ines, Mill and Oth4>r Machinery.

Summer Carnival. 57 By the New Brunswick Railway, excursion.s may be made from St. John to Fredericton, as before mentioned, and to St. 8tejjben and St. Andrews. The latter, for tlie last half century a dryamy, old fashioned town, lias n(tw come into great prominence as a watering place, with one of the finest summer hotels to be found in the Dominion. The trij) to St. Andrews and St. Stephen may also be made by the steamers of the Intel-national Line, touching at East- port, and giving a delightful salt water tri[) along a most pictures(iue coast. One trip by water will assuredly be taken by large; luimbers of visitors, and that is across the bay to Digby and Aniuipolis. The run, in the first-class steamer now on the route, takes a trille more than three hours, and tlie water at this season of the year is usually as smooth as the most delicate could desire. One nmy either stay at l)igby or Annapolis, each of which offers many attracti()ns, or he may proceed by rail to Yarmouth, returning the; same way or by steamer direct frttm Yarmouth to St. John. Another excursion from Digby is by rail through tiie Annapolis valley and land of Evan- geline, one of the pleasantcst runs imaginubh , and if conductor Joe Edwards is on hand, one of the most instructive as well. Halifax nuiy be reached by this route, the city seen in a day, and a return made by the Intercolonial. fishing to Some purpose. ■ J Some of tiie best trout and salmon fishing to be found in .Vmerica mav be had in New Brunswick, and nuich of it is within easv reach of St. John. This enables the sportsnuin to make his headquarters in the city, and go to and fro as he pleases, returning whenever occasion may require. On the Intercolonial, the Miramiiihi. Tabus- intac and Tvaciout $3,000 is paid by them fur wages every week. Then there are <)ther industries, no longt-r in the infant state, which were not dreiimed of twenty yeui's ago. We have car works which send tluir products not only through the Lcnver Provinces, but to the older parts of Canada, and tlu' irreat West itself Then we have foundries, rolling mills, nut and bolt works, cordage work>, and a lithographic estublishnM'Ut, all ot which have more than a local fame, -and do more than a local business. The field for every line of work has been l)roadeiied, and some enterprises ]mve so outgnnvn their original con- ■cejjtions of their projectoi"s and lo be virtually new industries. A notable justauee of this is the ^IcAvity^)rass auanu factory, which was started with ten hands in ISOl, and will have about 18(> on its roll this year. This concern did nearly .SIOO. ()()() worth of busine.-er Trovinces and the West last season. One indi- cation of the general growth is seen in the great increase of the coal trade. In 1878 le.s.s than 10(1,000 ton> suf- ficed for the re(piirement.-> of tlu^ CKNTENARY CHURCH, whole Prv)vince. In 188H about 157,000 tons were brought to St. John alone. The old industries have grown greater, while wholly new ones have come to stay. All kinds of trade have a better outlook than they had a score of yeai-s ago. In no line is this more apparent than in FRf:i>i:RI€TON. t'ntil Kurtlier notii-t- StiM/icr ACAOIA will Icjivo Indiantowii lor Vri'dericloii, (iilison and Intermediatt" Points, mi Tuesday, ThurHday niiil Siiturdiiy ii*rnint;.s, at nine oVInck, loiul titnt'.

From the Atlantic to the Pacific, starting at St. John and ending at Vancouver, is 3,544 miles. Over this route runs the only trans- continental raihvav in America, and one of the best built and most finely equipped lines in the world. The best engineering skill has been employed in its construction, all the modern appliances which give speed, safety, comfort and luxury to travel are enjoyed by those who travel on its trains. While reference has already been made to the advantages likely to accrue to St. John as the terminus of this great line, it may be well to say something of the road itself. Ito construction has been the work of many years; vast sums of money have been expended on it, but the reward has come at last in the spanning of a continent, and the opening of a new gate to the East. China and Japan are brought as near to St. John as was England, its great trading country, half a century ago. When gold was discovered in Cali- fornia, and the adventurous argonauts of '49 left St. John for the Pacific Coast, many of them were more than six months making the 62 SU M M ER (' A RN r V A L. il 1 journey. When a short cut was tukcu by way of the Isthmus of Panama, the trip took from six weeks to two m(mtli». To-day, 8cven (lays are all that is required to take the traveller from (leean to ocean, giving him on the way ail the eon»ports and ennvenienre.s of a life of ease in the nineteenth century. Without •huiger. with- out hard.ship, he i« transported over ao)Untry abounding with some of the most glorious scenery of the new world, waking each morning to find new -subjects to ex'ite his admiration and surprise. Whatever is worth enjoying in the length and breadth of Canada can be reached by this line. Having »vvi\ all the beauties of the Maritime Provinces, the traveller starts from St. .John on his way west. He need ui>i rush to the Pacific. TIkmc is nuich to claim his attention on the way. The mountains, lakes and streams of Maine Have a diarm for the tourist and s])ortsman, which may tempt him to linger among them, but even should he not tarry, the scenery as he passes along cannot fail to please by its diversity and beauty. Re-entering Canada, he may visit the ancient city of Quebec, from thence go to the great commercial emporium, Montreal, ^1.^' I EXHIBITION BUILDING. and on to Ottawa. Beyond lie Winnipeg, and other fast growing cities of the west, and at length the Pacific is reached.

At the bottom of tiiis enscado. is a roomy biusin, spark- ling in a rich green lawn and bordered by rare and fra^rrant exotics. The cascade and its surroundings, as well as the tropical garden, etc., were designed by A. K. Cogswell, assistant superin- tendent of the exhibition, and all the work ha-s been done in St. .John. In the centre of the building is a gigantic Japanese umbrella, more than big enough to have sheltered Noah and his family on their way to tiie ark. This will be brilliantly illuminated by colored incandescent lights, and as it revolves will present nuiuy odd and beautiful effects. At its base are banks of ferns and flowers in all the glory of many climes. 'I'o the left, as the visitectator. It is, in truth, nature imi)roved by art until the most pleasing result is attained. This is not all thiit savors of the Orient, and reminds us how near the Canadian Pacific Eailway has brought the once distant East. There are huge and uncouth fish, monstrous frogs, shining with electricity, fans tipped with electric lights instead of gems, and many other rare and curious things. A great and solemn owl blinks with profound gravity, and even winks under the impulse of the subtile current. A stately peacock, even more brilliant than in life, parades its gorgeous plumes — and is silent. Everywhere one looks is .seen something novel and attractive. Nor is the sighi alone gratilied. The sound of nmsic is hearay of the Electric Gas Light (Jo., of Boston, showing gas lighting appjiratus, electrical and general supplies. ^r 70 Official Programme. m ! li Beyond this is the exhibit of James Hunter, of St. John, who represents the Ball Electric Co. and other Boston houses, and dis- plays a great variety of general electrical supplies.' One of the most important, an well as most interesting, exhibits will be that of the Thom.son Electric Welding Company, of Jioston. By this woudeiful ])rocess, metals of all kinds, from fine wires to ponderous steel bai-s, are solidly welded by the use of electricity. The method is claimed to be scientifically ])erfect, and yet the mechanism is so simplt^ that a child can understand it. It is be- lieved that this machine is der^tined to exert a most important influence on the metal interests of this country, as its utility is so apparent and its method of operation is so radically difl'ereut from any welding process heretofore in use. The principle of Working is that currents of electricity are made to paAs through the abutting ends of pieces of metal that are to be welded, thereby generating heat at the point of contact, while at the same time njcchanical pressure is applied to force the parts together. By this process a complete union is effected, and the structure of the metal at the joint is the same as elsewhere in the bars. The many advantages of this metliod will ho readily apparent to any man of mechanical nature, and the variety of uses to which the process may be applied are almost endless. Other exhibitors, not of les.ser importance, but not assigned definite space at this early forecast of the arrangements, are as follows ; American Electrical Works, Providence and Montreal, cables, wire, etc. ; National Galvanic Battery Co., Cleveland, 0. ; Ilibbard & Co., Montreal, wire and electric goixls; Ivnud.'^on it Ellsworth, acoustic telephones ; Holtzer & Calwt, Boston, electrical house and general supplies; Rol)inson tfe Fo.ster, Bo.stou, electric motors; Prince Edward Island Railway, electric semaphores ; N. B. Tele- phone Co., telephones, etc. ; H. B. Cox & Co., New Haven, gelatine and medical l)atteries. An)ong the loan exhibits are .some valuable curios and memeu- toes. T. C. Martin, of New York, sends the bust of Edison and cable .samples; Joseph Wetxler, of the same city, furnishes a bust of Mor^e, while Prof i*. II. VauderVV'eyde contributes an old Morse relay and a collection of photographs taken by aid of the electric liglu. One of the most intenstiiig things is the smallest telegraph sounder ever made, sent by J. H. Bunnell & Co., New York. A. A. Knud.son. manager of the exhibition, loans a print- Official Proguamme. 7! ing telegraph instrument of his own invention, and a collection of cahie samples, etc. The Century Publi.«hiiig Co. sends a piece of wire U8ed by Professor Morse in his first telegraph line. Professor Vander Weyde also sends one of the first electric motors ever used in America, whicsh, by the side of one of the wonderful motors of the present day, will show what remarkable progress has been made by electrical science in the course of a few decades. The Leonard Ball Automatic C^utoff Engines, furnishing power to drive the dynamos, are from the works of the well-known firm of E. Iveonard & Sons, London, Ont., wiio are represented in Mari- time Provinces by Geo. H. Evans, branch warehouse and office, 62 Water Street, St. John. The several electric light companies par- ticipating in the display being desirous of having their dynamos driven by the Leonard Ball Automatic Engine for the rf-ason of its ■extremely fine regulation and good governing properties, the com- mittee were fortunate in securing those admirable engines. The windows of the building have been darkened, so that the ■electric light will be seen at e^jual advantage by day and night. At all times it will be most brilliant, for it sends its effulgtiuce from every point and corner. Apart from the illuminations of the vari- ous exhibits and ornamental {»ieces, each of the elevei' overhead arches has fifteen incandescent lights and an electric drop lantern depending from it, making no less than 170 bright particiiiar stai-s, in addition to the various electroliers, some with eighteen and twenty lights each, between the arches and in the galleries. F. A. Barr of Montreal, representing the Edi.son company, has been steadily at work from the outset, and the Edison liisplay in the various departmejits will be most elaborate and complete. Some idea of the extent of its operations may be gathered from the fact that this company's plant in the building, exclusive of the Bergmann electroliers, is valued at upwards of $15,000. The art gallery, in charge of John C. Miles, will have a choice collection of the works of Am(>rican and Canadian artists, and will be ligiited by the Edison Company. Among the machinery will be a printing press worked by elec- tricity. Indeed, everything which moves, even to the baton of the bandmaster, will be influenced by that great and seemingly magic force. New features, now existing in contemplation, will be added from day to day. The ticket office will be in the stone barrack builtliug, and tickets will also be for sale at many stores throughout the city. 72 Advertisements.

Barr, at Electrical Exhibtttoa iiuilding, St Jota, N. B. Where to •?»pend a Gapniual Day. md. In tho iv\ foding patrpf^ ret'prfiuce has been made to the wonder- ful strides which St. John has nnido. in certain lines of business, and notnhly in tho dry floods trade. No stronger proof of this can be shown than will be iound i>y a visit to the jrreat establishment of Manchester, ltoberts(jn ct Allison, by all odds the most complete establishment of its kind in the Maritime Provinces. What Jordan, Marsh & Co. are to New England and what A. 'J\ Stewart was to New York, this lioiise is to the provinces by the sea, and each year sees a wider range of country covered by \U operations. Everybody who spends a day in the city knows where the esta.b- lishtneut is located, the site being one of the best on the broad thorougiifare of King Street. The o.vterior, however, gives no indication of tht; size of the premi.ses, which can only be realized by a visit, such as thousands of those who attend the Carnival are likely to nuike. And here it may be said that visitors will be cor- dially welconied and shown ev»ry attention during Carnival week. Whether they buy anything or not they will find much to interest and instruct them in tiie various departments. The four large Hats, so great in area that they extend far into the block and in the rear of other buildings on King Street, contain a stock which f )r extent and variety has n*) equal ihis sid** ol' Mon- treal. Every line of goods is complete, yet in every department the s', stem W' arrangement is so perfect that' any article can be found in a moment. It is, indeed, the only way in which such an immtiise xto.k cai; bt- made 9>-silable, but no one who has not in- spected tht plan ot arrani>p-i»ents can have am^ Urnsk of iw perfection such a >ystem can be brought. And so it i> with the 160 employes and their 'uties. K> knows ids or her place antl duties and atteovls lo them. In ikm way hundreds of customers can be served with less trouble ttmat^ dozen in an establishme?;; whore things are slipshod and movenHMi are made at hap-ha/aici. An incredible amount of lmsine,v< is thun Hone without any appearance of hurry, and such a thing as con- fusion is absolutely unknown. All the appliances which tend to lighten labor and make quick despatch have been ad(jpted. Cash boys and girls have given place ttj the most j)erfect system of cash (85) (f ll 9 T 1 1 1^. i' 86 A nV KRTISEM ENTS. T. B. BARKER & SONS, ^& lUiMUUh Hiiim ■nn T. B. 35 and 37 KING ST., BARKER.

Apart from the w(tnderf'iil order in whieh every depiirtment is kept, ihe visitor will he pleased with the roomy and well lighted apartments whieh meet his eye at every turn. Everything i> seen to its best advantage, while the health and <;on)lbrt of the employes is made a prime consideration. Neatne.sK marks everything, from the Hilk r(H)m to the quarters of the teamsters. There are four of the latter, while two cari)enters and a-n engineer are kept busy from morning t much more than ever entered into the dreams of the dry goods men of f<»rmer days. The sl.«K,'k, too. is always fresh, and if a supply runs low it is re{)leui3hcd by the agency of a |)ri\ ate cable code, in ten or twelve days. Ladies who vi.-^it the store will find much to attract them among the complete line of silks, dress* goods, earpets, gloves, hosiery and ribbons. Linens and flaniiols will alsrellas, and inany oilier things oi" utility and beauty. Then there are all kinds of mantle cloths, to .say nothing of men's ch)ths in P2ngli.>«h, S<;i»tch and Canadian tweeds, but the ladies will ha.xten to the glove dej)artmeni, where they will find French kids of the be«t makes, and latest cut, from four to twenty Lattons. Leaving this they may spend more than a pas.-^ing moment in that most attractive of places, the millinery department, wlu're they will see what tliey can fully appreciate and enjoy. But all the visitors are not ladies, nor are their wantfe alone considered. Mention has been made of cloths for men's wear, of which the stock is large and varied. The gi-ntlemen's furnishing department, also, is worthy of note. Mere are tweed waterproof Coats, Scotch lambs-wool und( rwear, and a most extraordinary a.S8nrtment of scarfs and lies. The shirts sold by the firm have a wide rtpiitation, and they deserve it. They are honestly niade, in a factory on the pn-mises, and twenty-five steam sewing machines are steadily employed in turning them out. The boys, also, are kept in mind by a fidl a.ss(trtment of clothing, which is always new and in accord with the lu.^ist styles. In fact, all cIa.S8es and conditions of both sexes will find what they require .somewhere within the walls of thif most complete establishment. It is complete in all it.s lines, and it is one of the great sights of St. John.

Situated as it is, it will be one of the attractions for visitorH during Carnival Week, and there they will tind much to ])I(>ase the moat exacting tastes. One specialty of the house i.s black and colored dress goods, and of which a most cotnpletr and varied assortment will be found on the shelves. In addition to these are to be seen all the lines i'ound in a first-class retail dry goods store, which it Would re(piire a guide book to enumerate and even brietiy describe. A great deal of attention is given by the lirm to keeping on hand full lines of small wares, such as are dear to every feminint' heart, while evjrything in the way of staj>le goods will be found, marked at prices within the reach of every purse. The j)remise8 are roomy, well lighted, and in every way suited to the reciuirenients of the business. They can be best appreciated by a thorough personal inspection, such as is likely to V)e made by many hundredsoftho.se who wi.-h to .see 'the sights" of the fourth City of Canada.
