To the north ot you is the bold and ragged shore, stretching away towards St. Mary's Bay; while across the harbor is the pretty little city ol Yarmouth with its bustling whar\es, haiulsome homes, and stately spires.

Nova Scotia is as democratic a country as New Eng- land itself But if heredity counts for anything, the hardy Acadian fishermen of I'ubnico are among the most aristo- cratic people of the continent. Pubnico was founded, in about 1650, by Major I'hillipe Mius D'Entremont, Baron de Bouboncourt, a scion of the Royal House of Bourbon, who was associated with Charles LaTour in his unsuccessful effort to sa\e Acadia for the crown of France. Fxron Pouboncourt lived ti be a centenarian, and his bones now re.st ill the village which he founded. Thus it comes that the blue.st blood of I'"rance courses through the veins of the brave fish'Tmen of this thriving French Acadian settlement. The story of how the ancestors n\ these people hid tiiemselves in the forest, and the privations they endured there after the e.xpulsion of their compatriots from Craiid Pre, forms a thrilling chapter of local history. Passini; through Wood's Harbor ( originally named by the Indians Cock-a-wick ) and Shag Harbor, we soon ,.e;,c!,o- summer visitors, and its comfortable hotels, that we were fain to stay over a day longer than we had intended, and we were well pleased with the change in our programme. 22 yARRL\(;TON is a settlement on the stage road from Yarmouth to Shelburnc — in (act, from Yarmouth to Halifax, for the different stage lines connect all the way through - and all its houses are built along this road, the town stretching out along die harbor four or five miles, and being divided into four distinct settlements, ~ Harrington, Bar- rmgton Passage, Doctor's Cove and Village Dale. Back of the road and the adjoin- mg farm lands dense forests pre\ail, and of^br the best of sport to those who are in quest of game, for there, within a short distance from the town, can be secured, with little or no discomfort, that wary denizen of the forest, the moose, while the woods are UiU ot .vmaller game, partridge and woodcock being plenti.ul. The favorite resort for the moose hunter is Cranberry Pond, which can be reached to within two miles bv carriage. Grea^ Lake about twelve miles f^-om Barnngton, which is the source of both the Pubnico and Harrington rivers, is also a po.iular resort for bocn the hunter and hsherman. Innumerable brooks and rners also ofTer a diversitv of sport for the enthusiast while at any pomt in the harbor the best of duck and coot shooting is to be had. Harri.igton Heach. about a mile long, is a popular resort, where clam bakes are often served and where pleasure boats may be secured, or the lu.xury of salt water bathing i,i water not too cold may be enjoyed. Picnic ..arties on Harrington Ruer are numerous, and many camps are located along its banks where New Englanders are snen.ling a restful summer. ' ^ In the winter time, many of the inhabitants find lucrative occupation in smelt fishing through the i.e I he afternoon we spent m cruising about the harbor, inspecting the light-ship in Harrington Passage and Haccaro i^ht at the entrance to the harbor. In the morning we took the ferry-'3oat, Yuba, and crossed over to Cape S.ble Island, the most southerly point of Nova Scotia.

OT moil' woiKhrlnl is thr rise and fall of old ocean's tide than was the ri.se and fall of Shelh.irne, It ua, to he a i,n-eat metropolis. It was planned on a generous srale. People of no ordinary rlav, who erstoofl the valne of its wonderful harbor, were to make this the head cent.- r of civilization. ^ I'he revolntionary war was over. ( ;eors>e of En.uland had recalled his troops, and (ieorye of Virtjinia was supreme from Maine to Ceor^ia. In the larger cities of the I'nitcd .States were many who had been loyalists, and who did not relish liieir position luuler the new re^nnie. They had n(, Io\.- for a republic or an txperimental government, and longed to get l>ack under the old flag. .So they _ :e. Captain White, secretary of the New York .society, got them together, many from Haltiuiore ferphia joining their ranks. They built their houses, readv for erection, in \ew ^■ork, and loaded them on a fleet (.1 twenty lingli.sh ves.sels,— men-of-war, s to do the work, departed for Nova Scotia. Capt. White had previou.sly seen Shelburne harbor and, one bright morning m May, ij.S^, conducted his followers to its headwaters, where, on a beautilul stretch of land nestling at the foot of sm-rounding hills, and plentifully supplied with an abundance of pure fresh water, they disembarked and com- menced the construction of what was to be the finest citv in the new world. .-\nd wh should it not have been? With its magnificent harbor — the finest .m th.' .Atlantic coast — ten miles long by tiiree wide, entirely land- locked, and with a channel deep enough for the largest craft afloat: with every advantage that nature coul.! bcstcw ; with a location more advantageous in evers- way for commerce than is po.ssessed by the principal shipping ports of to-day ; .Shelburne should indeed have played an important part in the history of the world. In the following September another fleet of almost equal size and laden in the same «ay, landed its freight of tamihes and buildings, and the new city was inaugurated with a population of i4,o,xd souls. ' Within a year, three million dollars — in those days an immen.se sum — had been expended on it, and when Gov. Parr sailed from Halifa.x 2.S „ ,,,, u.n, they nUertain.i lavishU-. .ul changed .h- na.ne of the ,av capitc .'New Jerusalem- to •' Shelhurne,- in h.mor . of Ensland's premier. I'rince Kdward. t he father of K.ij^land's present are m seircli of sport yet there are societv attractions innumerable. Carriage driving, horse-back riding, picnics, excursions, band concerts tennis, base ball and cricket : ami the roads fairly swarm with bicycles. Whist parties are numerous in the evenin-, and the geni.il nature of the residents as well as the boyant spirits of the guests makes this so.uty life doubly at'tractive. Here the artist mav be seen with his or her easel erected along the shores of the harbor making sketches : there the young lovers are wandering about Ijreathing in additional romance because of the pure air and the beautiful surroundings. In the evening, groups of emhusiastic sportsmen gather together and discuss the com|.arative merits of the Clyde River the |ordan River, the Sable River, an.! Toin Tidneau River. As usual in such cases, those who prefer the smallJr tish 'extol the merits of the Clvde and Toir, Ti-lncau Rivers, while those who have experienced the excite- ment of lamling a gainev salmon or deep sea Irnut are loud in their advocacy of the Jord.in and Sable Rivers. But all are satisfied,' ami' thev have good reason t.) be, -or there is no better si)ort to be had on this side of the continent than right here. The Clvde is divided mto Upper, Middle and Lower Clyde, and has perhaps a hundred tributarv lakes all full of tish. The iordan Ri\cr, because of its rapid waters, has been very little tished, but it is a famous '.salmon stream, and has yielded t,. a singl.. tishemian, in a single dav, no less than twelve salmon, ranging m weight from nine to thirty pounds. 3S of Hvve, too, in the proi)er srason, is excellent .sliootin^, all varieties of jrame being plentiful. Moose hunting is the lavorite sport, and from here many a head and |)air of broad antlers has found its way to the States. The moose is a very elusive fellow, singularly sagacious, and shrewii and shifty. lie knows of your coming while you are yet a great way otil. His ears are keen and his nostrils, too, and \(mi have got to get to the leeward of him or he will scent you in a moment — a wary fellow, always on his guard — and when you have put a bull moose in your bag you have thoroughly jiroxed your right to carry a gun. Von will probably not be able to do much at nioose hunt- mg unless you take a local companion with you, one who from years of practice can give the moose call so perfectly that the moose himself is deceived. \'ou may think you can do this yourself after a few trials, but if you attemj)! It you will simply afford great amusem.nt to your c<)mi)anion, and thf moose, on Hearing it, will take to his heeN with great rapidity. It was here, on the second evening of our stay, that 1 caught my friend Ma.x in his devotions to the beauty he had lefi in Yarmouth, and discovered why it had been so difficult to get him away from there. ^ After supper I had told him that I was going for a stroll, and, lighting a fragrant Hav- ana, started out. I had not gone tin- before I was attracted by the picturesque location of a beautiful little summer house located on the shore of the harbor, which had heretofore escaped my notice. It struck me as so artistic that I at once turned back to get Ma.x, thinking he might like to photograph it by the morning light which wojld appear especially beautiful on the water. Kntering the hotel I found Max at the wrif'ng table, and reached his side before he perceived me. Upon looking up, his bronzed face Hushed crimson, and he hastily turned upside down the paper upon which he had been writin, and appeared so embarrassed that I could not he laughing heartily at him ; and to this day we seldom meet but that the memory of that incident b out a smile oor Max He had escaped SUMMER HOUSE.

To the left of ilu' island the bay extended inland several miles, forming various little harbors and dotted with pretty verdure covered islantls, on one of which— Carter's islauil— stands the harbor lighthouse. To the right, forming a bay on this sitle of the town, juts t)Ut a long promontory which bears the evidence of having protected the town from many a severe storm, yet looking pca^Hul and even gay in its summer verdure. In fiMut and beyond the town a high bluff seem- ingly marks the furthest boundary of the island, for beyond appears the limitless expanse of old ocean as liir as the eye can reach. Later we learned that beyond this blulf there lay Cranberry Island, forming a narrow channel which becomes nearly dry at 'bb tide. Crossing the bridge we entered the town, which cootiiins about fourteen hundred souls, and put up at a neat little hotel. Ragged Island, as this place was (originally called, was .settled by two fami- lies, - Luckes and Churchills, — loyalists who came from Tlymouth about the time of the War of Independence, and the name has .since been changed to Lockeport. The dcscendcnts of these two f.unilies have remaineil here, ami, in spite of its present population of ' nt 1400, these tw names are so common in the town that one might almost belie\e that the place was inhab lirely by Lockes and Churchills. l.-icjjip.tr -uid lobster cunning .:ir,_- amonir 'ts prir -inal industries, and every Monilay morning a fleet of schooners sails down the harbor to return again laden with coil, haddock, and halibut the following Saturday.

I he white, silvery sand', full of mica dust, glistens in the sun, .m.l even when i-erfectly find a cosy nook among the rocks along the shore, there to sit and sew or crochet, while drinking in the balni)' breezes of old ocean. Now ami then the sharp crack of a rlHe or th report of a fowling piece denotes the lall ol .i .luck ..r coot. and the boat of the enthusiastic sportsman wil. ' - nurridly pushed out to ser e the prey. Again, shouts :iml bravos are heard, and there is a bicycle race or hr .,0 trot on the beach. In fact, hours upon hours may b.- spent here and the senses never grow weary, for here there is constant occu- pation for the mind or body, as one may feel disposed. The beacti a strip of sand separating the ocean In.m the bay, about a mile long and fully a many hc.iiitirul i.slaiids— I luiil.l I. tit womliT why sunu' enterprising,' American had not lonjr a^o erected a stihstaiiliai suniimr liotel on tlie spot where we were Htandin^ ; and I will venture to assert that ere lon^ some one will reap a rich harvest from smh an investment, for when the beauties of this place hetome ^'enerally known it will be aniuially • rowded with visitors. There are many iKaiitifiil locations for .snmmer cottaf,'es ; the bay otiers exceptionally tine conditions for boatinj,' ; the surrounding country ahoimds with fish and game, the wary moose beinj; plentiful within a short distance ; the beach is always avaihible ; and with tljc genial and courteous nature of the resi- dents of the town, no one will ever \ init I.ockport without dosiriiiLT to rcpe;'.; their exjxrience. Again we are on the sta.i>.' road, rapidly leaving behind us the scenes of ihe previous day, and skiitinn tlic slmrcs «.f the ocean in our comfortable carriage. Again Max is dreaming of Narmouth while I i i drinking in the beauties of nature — and along this road they are many- t^e brooks and rivers empty- ^ing into the ocean, with their rustic bridges often built below a |et of falls or rapids, making many a iuautiful picti re. One in jiarticular was sufficiently attractive to ^reverie, an I, jumping out of the carriage, he rested his camera on the railing of the bridge and "took" OgJ.n Brook. It was a charming sjjot. On one side of the bridge, looking up the stream, the brook spread out into a pool of still water from which the overhanging foliage was vividly reflected in all its beautiful colorings. Above the puui, the brook, until its winding course disao'^-.ircd among the trees, was a mass (if foaming rapids, sometimes dashing Sj^ray high in the air as its > J 35 impetuous course vvns checked l)y the jngged rocks. l-Von, the otlier side of the bridge, another i^ool, another set of rapids and then, througli an archway of trees, Jordan Hay is api)arent and the shore on the other side o' the bay. If art could but transfer tiiis scene to canvas in all its rustic beauty, it would grace tlie walls oi the hnest gallery. I would gladly travel many miles to again witness it, and I would be nothing loUi, eithei, to take out a few of those speckled beauties from Ogden Fool. After a delightful journey we arrived at Liverpo.^l, and soon retired to sleep as only those can slee]) who spend their time in such air as we had continually breathed for mor. than a week now, and in such occupation as can but give the soul repose. 36 LIVERPOOL. IVP:R1'()()I. came into existence in 1759 or '60. Like Vannoutli, Siielbume and Lockejjort, it was settled by (iod- fearin.tr Presbyterians and Bai)tists from New PZnjrland and the otlier colonies. -^^ Here are some of the original proprietors: Experience Helms, and Eliakim, Obediali and Lemuel Crosby. In 1764 the little scai)ort already numbered live hundred jjeople. From that time until after the close of the Revolution in the states Liverpool continued to gnnv steadily, r.ot only in i)opulation but also in ambition, the later characteristic never having forsaken her, and it is due to that trait that she possesses so many advantages today in spite of her many drawbacks. Liverpool has now grown to be a town of considerable importance, and its resiilents are justly proud of their i)rogre-s. They are liberal in public improvements and determined m their efforts to make the most of what nature has done for them in the beautiful location of thei- town where the waters of the river Mersey and the waters of the ocean mix. Two \ears ago the most of the building; along the harbor front, as well as the wharves, were destroyed by tire, but they were immediately rebuilt in a handsome and substantir' .:i, nner ; and, as "there is no great evil without some small good," to this fire Liverpool owes the po.ssession of o-- of ■h. finest hotels m the provmce. The hotel will accommodate a large number of guests, and is .exceedingly uell co uucted imder the management of its accommotlating proprietor. The town, too, has other hotels, and any number of summer visitors will tmd plenty of accommodation for any length of time they may desire to stay. And Liverpool is a good place in which to sojourn for some time. There are plenty of points of interest to attract die tourisi, and jjlenty of amuse- ments for those who remain. Its long main street, bordered by large shade trees and substantial residences, makes a beautiful promenade tor a summer's evening, and furnishes an excellent track for the bicyclists, who are numerous The street terminates abruptly ;it Fort Point, a tiny peninsula, where the old fort u.ed to str.nd, but where now stands the lighthouse which guides the mariner at night to a safe harbor. Fort Point is also utilized as a public park and although small m extent, it furnishes much of the out-door pleasure of the town. Near the lighthou.se is a 'band 37 stand surrounded by rustic settees ; and ulm can imagine anytliinK more charnnnK Hian an even ng here with the music ot tlie hand n.in-ling with iho nuisic of the wave., llie iij-hts ot Hrooklyn harljor opposite, and the Hghts on Coftin's Ishmd, five miles away, twmk- hiif^ their approval.

H!-; La Have River is called by some the Rhine, aiul by others the Rhone of Nova Scotia. Beyond doulit it is the most beanJful river in the ])ro\ince. Fourteen miles from its mouth is located the Kautilnl town of Brid<>e\vater, where many sunnner tourists fnul themselves located, year after year, Ijecausc of the many facilities it otfers for attractive side trips, as well as the beauty of the place itself. And Hridgewatcr f's beautiful. Cross the bridge and walk for miles up and down the river and you will fmd it difficult to get any adeciuate idea of the town from what you can see. Why ? Because you are looking upon the side of a steeply sloping hill, and, except for the water front, all you can see is an occasional row of roof tops breaking through the luxuriant foliage of the shade trees which line both sides of every street. Bridgewater is young compared to the places we have been visiting, but she has made good use of the f.fty years of her existence. Few i)laccs in ;iie province have so ample and well appointed a court house, so capacious a music hall, and such a handsome ,ud substantial railway station. There is a spirit of enterprise that impresses you immediately, and after you recognize it you no longer wonder how the people climb the steep sides of the hill from one street to another. Imagine a stairway of streets. That is Bridgewater. From the river front to the brow of the hill street after street runs parallel with the river, with just room enough between to allow a good-sized backyard or orchard for the houses whicli line the streets, and at regular distances others intersect these from the river to the top of the hill. As you stand at the bottom of one of these streets, you are not at a loss to understand how people come down in the winter, but the thing that will trouble you is, how do they get up? Bul it is beautiful and novel as well, and you will find so many ways to utilize your time, — excursions clown the ri\er and excursions up the river. Trips to the Nictaux Mountains, drives into the country, and sails down to Mahone Bay, music and mirth. Such is life at Bridgewater. Bridgewater is the headciuarters of the Nova .Scotia Central Railway, which cros.ses llic province from Middleton on tlie north, where it connects with the Dominion Atlantic Railway between Yarmouth and HaliHix, to Lunenburg 40 niir^dC' : Iter, ;:";;: r.:" t"'" "-'t- '-"-^" -' »"<"-■ «^^ months.

Mahone is cosily cuddled about it;: pretty harbor, only thirty minutes' ride from Hridgewater, through a beautiful country along the La Have River, and past many lakes and streams. It is blessed wi^h one of those rare little hotels, with its bowered portico f nestling under the trees, where home food of the best quality and cooked with a degree of skill unexcelled by the best c/ic/ of New York, can be obtained. You would fain tarry here, but if you desire to make the tour of tiie province with, us come now to Chester, at the head of Mahone Hay. Chester is se\en miles sail from Mahone, or twice that distance along the winding shore road, but the beauties of either route are so fascinating that you will be sorry when the trip is over. There are few bits of road in the province finer than that fourteen-mile drive, half of it lying close along the water's edge, the dancing waves almost at your feet, the bay stretching away to the east, and ocean's horizon closing the picture in the distance. Here the bicyclist will be in his glory, and many are they who avail themselves of this bi autifui. road.

We know very little about the personality of the late Captain Kidd lie was .a busy .nan, and chd not stop to urite his autobiography. There is every reason to believe, .^ /however, that he was not all that he should have been, and , that he spent a very considerable part of h,s hfe scounng the high seas and taking everything that he found. Now the question arises what d.d he do w>th it? He buried it somewhere, without auv doubt; and a great many people have thought, ever since this enterprising and secretive gentle.uen died two luuuire.l years ago that he l)uried it somewhere along the south shore of Nova Scotia.

C.Mitined at first within a space bounded l)y Harrington, Salter, and lUickiuKdiam Streets, the town soon reached out and climbed the hill to the base of the Citadel. ^ jf^ ^ — ^1 iht-n as though becominjr emboldened and conscious of increasinj,' strength and secur- ity it crept lust north atid then south.

As time rolled on liie dangers which beset the path .)f the earlier settlers were removed and more rapid progress was made, until to-day Halifax is a thriving and picturescpie city of some 45,000 inhab- itjints — the commercial and polititical capital of a prosperous and wealthy province.

Here is tiie land ; tliere the sea. Would you walk, drive, hunt or shoot? Would you row, sail, bathe or fish? Each and all are open to you. Would novel sights and sounds amuse you? Then, again, will Halifax fiirnisii such entertainment as can be had nowhere else in America. in the spacious roadsteads may be seen mock battles of the war-ships with each other and with the forts ; on shore the sham fights of the garrison, divided for the occasion into opposing forces. To this is added a sunuiier climate, clear, cool and healthfiil ; scenery and surroundings of extreme beauty ; and a hospitality which the visitor has ever found warm and true. We have not space to tell half the wonders of old Halifax, but its Public Garden and Point Pleasant Park alone will furnish days and weeks of pleasure, and there is so much that is novel and interesting wherever you go that the mind never grows weary.

Beyond again rose the heavily wooded slopes of the highest peaks of the mountains, looking grim and misty in the distance as its outline broke against the clear blue sky, except here and there where the fleecy white clouds apparently mingled with the tree tops and hid tiie mountain from view. Tiie foaming waters of the Nictaux caught the artist eye of Max, and nothing would prevent him from making a descent to a point from which he could use his camera, .so, preceeded by one of the railroad men, who u.sed his hatchet to clear 54 the way, we made the ' "' "'»' ""'""« and whirling .mtil ca,„h by L frl i " a^ il,'"'" , ""'T " /'" I" »" "'"""' P"P">'1ic..hr wall, foaming, until another turn dunned the ctartate",! foam ' "" "' "'"^ "'"'"^ '"" '"■»"= '""'''''■" •""' '«""' "-' .""hetd Lriwi"^ hTmad?hi,nr„'"'ir" '1 "™'' ^"•" "'■ '"" --"'- "- "- •"="«" -X- --\^:;irt Sir ^r-^^ «.^et a 4lal ti„ which-wl^lZUIn:;--:^':-;- ^ - « ~ -^™»,^.. we way fKitiii: z:iz:T^rz:t :^,;f"T"'iT r" ''- ""- -- -^^ ^"■""■™' ^'-^^ i^""- ..igl. and Weymonth, with.

To the ri^fht, flowing into the Avon, is ihr St. Croix, from whose banks, a few miles up, they quarry great (luantities of gypsum ; wliile hack of you lies ihe town sheltered by encircling hills. Windsor's second attraction, perhaps its first in point of unitpic interest, is the Avon River. Looking out on it now you see a broad, ruddy river a half-mile wide. Big ships, four-masted schooners, and deeii-draught square- riggers are sailing over its waters; but if you look for that same river a few hours later you will find it gone- evaporated— vanished. You can walk across it and scarcely wet your feet; and the big ships are now tied taunt to the wharf their keels a good fifteen feet above the tiny rills of water that trickle along the river bed. The Avon River is but an arm of the Basin of Minas, and tlie tide rises and falls here thirty-five and forty feet. Of course you must go to see ".Sam Slick's" house. You will find it a modest one story building, but imposing for all that, with its dignified architecture and its commanding positioij. The people of Windsor point with pride to this old house, and well they may, for the learned jurist and merry wit who was known to the world of jurisprudence as Judge Haliburton, and to the world of humor as "Sam Slick," passed many years of his life there After visiting the "Sam Slick" estate, if you will keep on the .same street a short half-mile further, you will come to King's College, one of the oldest institutions of learning in the province. It is only a matter of twelve or thirteen miles from Windsor to Grand Pr6, which Longfellow made most famous of all Nova Scotian towns. It is an interesting ride, — interesting because of its scenery, a constant blcnd- ii.g of green bank and deep red water, and interesting also because of its history ; for all this country through which you are now riding belonged to the ill-fated Acadians who a centu.y and a half ago were driven so mercilessly from their happy homes. Soon you are at Horton's Landing, where you cross the mouth of the (laspereau River. It was here tliat tlie Acadians were dri\en on to the ships, to be scattered far and wide in distant lands. A few minutes later you stop at the station of (irand Pre. If you have ever wanted to know whether or not ;,••"•!! possessed the poetic temperament, you can now .setlle l!ic i[tie:itiun for all time ; for Grand Pre will prove a perfect test. If you are a plain person of i)rose, when you get out at the little station you will exclaim, "Well, I =;S SAM SLICK HOUSE, WINDSOR. •I troml nl-.n fnr ^^ '■^'-"'''''" ^''"''g^'-^ «'ood oMo lunulrccl a.ul Hftv vcars ago.

You will 59 notice its principal bnildinj,'. a hij^ white structure halt" way up the hill, that looks like a small fdition of the capitol at VVashinjfton. It will well repay you, by the way, to cliinb that hill, kttpinjj on past the colUjje !i rjuarter of a mile till you come to the top of the " Ridne." Vou yet a ),{lorious view. To the north roils the IJasin, mile after mile past distant Hlomitlon to the shores of Cumberland and Clochcster, twenty miles away ; while immediately at your feet nestles the pretty little town of VVoIfville. Turning around to the south what a contrast ! There, nestleil between two mountain ritlyes, is the little valley of (laspereau, too excjuisite to seem real. It lies before you so hushed, so trancpiil, so out of accord with this jarrinj^, rushing world th.nt you will rub your eyes to see if it is not a dream. Down in the middle of the valley, possibly three-fjuarters of a mile frcm whtre you stand, is the little village, looking so white where everything else is green. Running through this and zigzagging along down the valley, side by side with the winding (iaspercau River, runs the roadway, a slen- der thread of brown. There is not a sound to break the stillness except the drowsy, far- away tinkle ul a cowbell and the faint lis])ing of the gossipy brook, — a symphony of verdure, sunshine, and silence. Wni will hate uns])eakal)ly to leave that chartning s|M)t. It is a charming ride on the Dominion Atlantic road from Kentville to Annapolis, a stretch of sixty miles down the Annapolis Valley. Vou will soon notice a little muddy stream creeping stealthily along at your right. That is the beginning of the Annapolis River. It grows larger and larger, and by the time you have crossed it at Paradise it has become a sizable river. Half way in your ride you come to Middleton, notable by reason of the mineral springs that lie near by, and because the Dominion Atlantic road is here met by the Central, which runs across the peninsula from Lunenburg on the south shore. You must indeed be a singularly insensible person if you do not feel a distinct thrill as the train pulls in at the station at Annapolis, and you find yourself in the oldest town, with the sole exception of St. Augustine, on the American continent. It was founded in 1604. That was three years before Jamestown and a good twenty-six years before Boston came into existence ; so you see that you are in the presence of \enerable antiquity.

By a late amendment to the game laws, agents of the Game and P'ishery Protection Society are appointed jn various places in the province, where non-residents are likely to arrive, for the purpose of selling licenses, and of generally carrying out the law. This has been chiefly because strangers have complained of the difficulty of finding the officials who hitherto have had authority to sell licenses. It is the intention of the Game Society rigorously to enforce the above laws, and therefore this publicity has been given to them. Note.— No person shall sell or expose for sale, or buy any animal or bird included in the definition of Game until after a lapse of three days from the end of any close season. Penalty, $25.
