HALIFAX SUMMER CARNIVAL

rril till' presenta-
tion of this s|)t'<ial
nnmbor of the
Daily Kcmo to
the piihlic wc
have to say that it
is the first venture
of the kind ever
attempted in the
Maritime Prov-
inces. 'I'heKc HO
itself is a new and
distinctive fc.-.tiire in journalism in this city, eschew-
ing political discussions and devoting itself to news
and all matters pertaining to the general interests
of Halifax and everything that will (iromote the
common welfare. Although only a year and a half
before the public, its succc.,.. has been phenomenal
and its position assured.

For a number of years past, remembering the
peculiar advantages of the city for such an enter-
prise, the idea of holding; a Summer Carnival in this
city has been talked about by public-si)irite<l citizens
in a tentative and speculative .sort of w.iy. 'I'he
l>ress now and then made spasmodic efforts to
arouse people to practical business, but for some
reason or other things never got beyond the specula-
tive stage. Kverybody would say that he thought
it was a good idea and that it should be carried
out, but there the matter ended. The Kino
thought it would be a gooil idea, and it kept the
thing before the public by timely articles, and, fol-
lowing its lead, other journals took up the refrain,
rendering valuable assistance. In this way, what
was merely an idea ripened into action, and lailniin-
ated in a .Summer Carnival memorable for its attrac-
tions and jileasures, and which, in every way, must
be satisfactory to its promoters and the thousands
of visitors who enjoy it.

The Ki HO decided to issue a special number,
which, by descriptive articles and choice illustra-
tions of the various points of interest, public build-
ings and bits of beautiful and romantic scenery
everywhere abounding in the city and its environs,
would serve as .1 inemcnio of the occasion. It is
now before yo'i, and altliough we are fully conscious
of its defects, and, no doubt, carpii'g critics would
remind us of them if we were vain enough to siip-
l)ose it perfection, we view it, we trust, with a
pardonable degree of satisfaction, considering the
limitations and difficulties under which we labored
as a pioneer journal in an entirely new field " down
by the sea." Determined to make it an elegant
and appropriate souvenir of this great occasion, we
have spared no reasonable expense, and trust to an
appreciative public for our reward.

The prime motive of getting u|) this Carnival has
been to advertise the advantages of this city and
province as a summer resort. Kvery year witnesses
the migration of lens of thousands of the more
wealthy inh.abitants of the great cities of the United
States and of the large and wealthy inland cities of
Canada to watering pla( es and summer resorts of
various kinds, where they can escape from the in-
tolerable heat and secure healthful enjoyment and
freedom from the cares of business, with such re-
creation and amusements as will build uji exhausted
vitality. It has been believed that once their atten-
tion could be called to the charming natural beauties
of this province and Halifax ])art:cularly, with its
noble harbor, bracing climate and delightful pleasure
grounds, many of them would turn to it in the hot
season to revive exhausted energies, as the Ma-
homedan pilgrim turns toward Mecca to have his
faith revived. I'or some years past they have been
coming here in fair numbers, and these have been
increasing year by year, for all who came presented
" a goodly report " to their friends on their return.
But instead of having a few hundreds of summer
visitors, why should we not have as many thousands ?
With better fa<:ilities of travel, with expanding hotel
accommodation, which could be increased indefin-
itely should occasion demand, there is no reason
why we may not have them, with advantage to
hosts and guests.

Chierty with this object in view tlie '"^umrner

Carnival was [irojected. The City Council, grasp-
ing the situation, voiced the general sentiment by
voting three thousand dollars towards theenterpri.se,
and this was supplemented by liberal contribiitiims
from publii spirited citizens. Meetings were held
of representative citizens of various classes, and
committees fonned to arrange i)rogrammes of events
such as would attract people of all tastes. The
committees worked with energy and intelligence
and a<:( oinplished the various tasks they took in
hand with a degree of success that is worthy of all
praise. Many thousands of visitors will see Halifax
in holiday attire and witness what it can d(/ in the
way of balls, concerts, theatrical performances,
military and naval disi)lays ai|uatii sports, horse
racing, and the many athletic sports and pastimes
whi< h lend grace and energy to the human form.
They will enjoy Halifax's wealth of natural beauty,
its abounding hospitality, its good iheer, and its
life-giving climate. 'I'hey will, doubtless, be satis-
fied and loud in their praises.

The brilliant success which must attend this
Carnival has been most encouraging to all c oik erned.
Henc eforth, if we mistake not, a Summer Carnival
will be an annual feature of Halifax life. The ex-
perience gained will be of the utmost value in carry-
ing (nit fiiturt enteriirises of the same kind. Kvery
effort will be made to make eac h one an improve-
ment on the last. In this way the fame of Halifax
will sjiread as the [ilace /',ir rxcelliitcf to spend the
hot months of summer, and the I'a no will be here
to work for the interests of the city and to extend a
cordial welcome to all visitors.

entirely diflerenl
meaning to tens
of tliuiisamls af-
ter the great
Sumnu'r<-'arnival
of 1889. Halifax,
instead of l)cing
an un]>lt>asant
place of ab(xle, as
many have l)een
led to I>elieve by
the expression ahove (^uotetl, is really one of the most de-
lightful cities on the continent, and especially in the sum ner
season. It is IwautifuIIy situated, on a peninsula claspc-d Ity
the loving arms of old ocean, commands a view of the most
jieerless harbor in the world, anil Nature seems to have
exhausted itself in the surrounding attractions. Its climate
in summe/ is simply sn]>er]>, while its condition in winter is
one to Ik.' envied by the lovers of the sjiorts ami pastimes
peculiar to the season who do not like them to i>c accom-
panied with a too strong application of Jack Krost's biting
attentions.

Hut it is r)f Halifax as seen by our Carnival visitors that
we windd speak. If we ascend to the top ot Citadel Hill,
:he stiong fortification which towers above the city, and
stands upon its southern slope, what a magnificent view
greets the enraptured eye ! Slightly to the right are the
Tublic (iardens, a charming spot elsewhere descrilwd ;
what is known as the -'.South Knd," with its aristocratic re-
sidences embowered among trees ; Point I'leasant Park, suf-
ficiently l)eautiful to Ik? the suhjecl of a separate article;
while bold promontories, extending like huge battlements
.^gainst the rude bufietings of the broad Atlantic, stretch for
many miles along the shore. Directly in front of us the
ocean stretches as far as the eye can see, and one may
watch the white sails of scores of coasters and fishing smacks
as they dance up<m (he wave, or huge steamships, with
their sable plumes of smoke, as they resolutely plow the
deep. till the left side of the outward entrance to the har-
Iwr stands Meagher's Iteach lighthouse, in the form of a
Martello tower, like a grim sentinel to warn approaching
vessels of treacherous ground. It constitutes cpiite a jiic-
turesque feature of the scene. Outside of this, to the east-
ward, and hidden from view by MacNab's Island, stands
another lighthouse, upon a spot not inappropriately named
" l.Vvil's Island."

MacNab's Island isal^eautiful spot, magnificently wowled,
and presents a pleasmg picture to the eye as seen from the point
where we have placcii the reader. It is a favorite pleasure
ground for Haiigonians, and almost any day in summer is
visited by picnic parties, where amidst the groves and bow-
ers they can inhale the sweet perfume of nature, the air of
July and August Iwing tempered with the health Iwstowing
breezes of the sea. No other city on the Atlantic coast ol
America can boast of such a delightful breathing place as
this ; but Halifax having ^everal other places within easy
reach hardly knows herself what a treasure she possesses in
MacNab's Island. To the east of this lies Lawlor's Island,

the other. Hetwcen this and the opposite nhorr isJAalMTftl,

.111 J . uith that generosity which ever distinguishes it, en-
\\a;i into an agreement with the city by which, at a merely
tr-^'^'n.il rental, '\usi enough to make the bargain legal, its
o^«"0se as a park and pleasure ground is conceded to the
9ityift gt){j years- a term sufficiently long to satisfy the pre-
If"^ generation, and some thirty generations to follow, at
'"f e,id of which time the lease can Ik* renewed. It has
'*^efj iconverted into a magnificent park, containing i86
^llffffis] and constitutes a breathing spot and heallh and
"•pleashre resort sufficiently large in itsell to satisfy the wants
of our present population, without reference to the other
beautiful and convenient pleasure grounds with which Hali-
fax is amply endowed, and which are elsewhere referred
to in the Carnival Kriio.

Ex-Mayor Mackintosh, in his able and exhaustive general
review of aflairs of the city government while holding office
in 1885, thus referred to Point Pleasant Park: ""ihere
are nearly six miles of carriage drives in perfect order, lie-
sides some miles of foot-paths winding all over the park.
On the west it is bounded by the beautiful waters of the
North-West Arm, and on the east by the harlmr of Halifax.
Point Pleasant, the extreme south boundary, faces the
mouth of the harbor, having the Atlantic ocean in full new.
Nature has been prodigal in endowing this beautifid park
with many spots of extreme loveliness, and although Art has
doi.e but little to improve on Nature, the blending of the
work of both has resulted in giving to our city what few
small communities possess. Two years ago a legacy of

IK(^M rilK CITADKL'S SUMMIT.

$5,OfK), l>e<iueathcd by the late William P. West to l>e used
for ■<<nne purpose in improving the park, was appropriated
to the erection of two iron Mimmer houses or pavilions,
which greatly add to the beauty of the localities where they
are placed, l»esi<les affording shade and rest to those who
fre<iuent these delightful spots. Sir William Young, chair-
man of the Hoard of t'omniissioners, has for years kindly
superintended the work of keeping in order and improving
the drives, footpaths, groves, etc, and the present creditable
condition of the park is largely owing to his supervision and
care. When South Park Street (which is now in process of
extension) is o|iened into the park, it is the intention of Sir
William to cause to lie erected a handsome pair of iron
gates at this the main entrance." Since this was written, Sir
W'illiam Young, who was an enthusiastic admirer of the
beauties ot this park, and was largely instrumental in its
improvement, has lieen gathered to his fathers, hut his in-
tention with respect to the gates was carried out, and they
are there to testify to his generosity and public spirit.

It is an impossible task to describe in detail the be-
witching bits of scenery that everywhere surprise and de-
light the eye as one drives over the smooth and solid roads
that wind around and intersect this i k in everv direction,
or as one rambles along the labyrinth of footpaths that dis-
close inviting nooks and dells in almost boundless profusion.
Suffice it to say that no one who visits Halifax should ne-
glect to "do the park." A couple of hours' driving in an
open barouche, which may l»e obtained at the expense of a
couple of dollars, will yield an amount of enjoyment out of
all proportion to the expense. The ple.Tiing aroma of the
evergreen woods is mingled with the bracing airs of the At-
lantic, and one feels braced up and invigorated, while the

everlasting rays <.f a July or August sun may he beating
upon his head. Yet Point Pleasant Park is only one of
the many health and pleasure resorts which this old city of
Halifax "down by the sounding sea" offers lo the wearied
denizens of the sun-baked inland or less favored seaboard
cities of the continent. Carnival visitors will cherish the
most pleasing recollections of their drives and walks through
this delightful park, with its lovely wootls, picturesque
drives and health giving atmosphere.

EVENING CONCERTS IN THE GARDENS.

Among the countless attractions of Carnival Week are
the two evening promenade concerts in the Public (iardens,
which visitors will not fail to take advantage of. The
fascinations f)f these concerts are well known by every
Haligonian. Several bands of accomplished musicians
occupy positions in various iiarts of (he gardens and dis-
course choice programmes, while the public promenade
the illuminated walks or occupy rustic seats drinking in
the sweet music and bracing evening air. A i,'rand dis-
play of fireworks lasts from the opening to the ' 'se, in-
troducing the latest novel inventions in jiyi uchnics.
While the central parts of the grounds, where the vast
crowds congregate, are brilliantly illuminated, the man
agers are careful to kave in darkness or semi-darkness
numerous shady groves to which fond couples may escape

I to enjoy themselves in their own delightful fashion.

I These shatled and secluded spots are numerous enough tu

! accommodate a large portion of the patrons, and with these

I the concerts arc highly popular.

known to but one or (wo
plans in advance. The fleet,

ships, proceeds far out t) sea early in the morning' and,
turning about, approaches the liarlwr from dillereiit direc-
tions. Suhseijuent movements depend on the plan of ac-
tion. York Redoubt, at (he mouth of the bay, is the first
fort to Ik.* engaged, and this is (ircti upon by two ur more of
the fleet, while other ships proceed inward and attack (he
forts and batteries at Point I'leasant, MacNab's Island,
lieorge's Island and the llastern Passage. Besides the
numerous strong pennaneiU fortifications that defeu'l Hali-
fax harbor at these points, a numlier of temporary batteries
are located at different places commanding' the approaches,
which must also Ix.- attended to by the enemy's ships. All
parts of the harbor are laid with marine torpedo mines for
the destruction of the attacking vessels as they pass over,
to discover and clear away which properly e(|uipped steam
launches are sent ahead by the fleet. The oHicers on these
steamers are supposed to delect, by the aid of their applian-
ces, the locali<in 4pf these dangerous obstructions intended to
demolish the larger ships. Once found no time is to be lost
in disturbing and exploding the mines, otherwise the oHicers
on land, operating by electricity, will start them into action
at an opportune, or inopportune, moment, and woe be to the
luckless craft that hajipens to be within reach of their dead-
ly powers of destruction. The cxjjlosion of the marine
mines is one of the grand sights of the bombardment. Im-
mense volumes of water are tlirown hundreds of feet into
the air, accompanied by a thunderous roar that convulses
(he water for a long distance on all sides. Similar obstriic-
it)ns arc placed in all pass.iges to prevent the entrance of
the fleet, and one of the ni"st important parts of the
enemy's work is to locate them and destroy their usefulness
to the defenders.

Meanwhile the various ships are constantly inaiiu-uvring
outside the forts, keeping as well as possible Ijeyond the
range of the big guns on the latter, while pouring shot and
and shell into them. Some of the minor batteries they sue
ceed in silencing in the early stages of the attack, but it is
a inure diflicult task to do the s;ime with the large forts.
Various moves are made to deceive the forces on land. Hoat
loads of men, armed with machine and tUher guns, are de-
spatched to diflerent points in order tu draw tin: attention
of the defending army in these directions and cause them
to reduce their forces in other places, at one of which (he
final and decisive assault is to be made. Again, gangways
are drojtped and a sham appearance made o{ disembarking
large parties, and other devices resorted to for the imrpose
of misleading and confusing those manning the fortifications,
who keep a sharp lookout on the movements of the enemy.
When the moment arrives for the grand ///f/Zc the invaders
may have succeeded in so distracting the attention of the
defenders that the greater part of the land forces are on
their way to repel an expected .ittack at a point where they
will l)e utterly helpless to assist in the defence, the conse-
(juent result l>eing the weakening of the parties in the forts
and .T sidendid advantage gained by the enemy. ]iut the
intading party are unaware of this, only hoping it may Ijc
the case and taking the chances at the spot they hu.e
chosen to make their real onvlaught. Up (o this stage the
allair has not Wen without some minor conflicts at close
ijuarters, for the men despatched by the fleet to clear aw.iy
the perils that underlie the pathway are by no means per-
mitted totio so unopposed. Exposed to the fire of machine
yiins run down to the water's edge, they are compelled to

hght their way inch by inch, snnielinifs winning a victory,
at others sullering a serious defeat. An inciilental engage-
ment of this nature often lasts (ifleeii oi t\u-nty minutes, or
longer. In the meantime a constant tiie i- maintained from
(he jortihcatiims anil fie(|uently the en(iie llci'( .md (he
whole range of land defence . are uagint; h'>t and furious
warfare (ogedier, crcadng a gigantic uproar that can be
heard a distance of leveiity-five or a hundretl milcB. The
sp.ctatlcof (he magniriceiit shihs pouring out their broad-
sides, with the gr-at land batterie* responding nobly to the
(iic and enormous volumes of smoke rising over the arena,
is one that is treasured long in (he nie.nory. Whenever a
small b(Hly of the land army show themselves on a bill, in
order to repulse a boat's crew seen approaching the ".hore,
(hey are (piickly singled out by one of the ships, which ib-
rects a heavy hre on them and rarely fails to sileiue them
in a few miniiles. Nevertheless there is prob.ibly a force
waiting in the bush sulhciently strong (m ope »iih lhe<-rew.
The lime f<M- the main etbnl of (he eminy h.uing arrived
an immense fnrce of men, fully armed and etpiippetl with
all the modern machinery I'f war, is despatchetl in large

large force and the invatjing party succeeilsin landing after
a ci>mparatively trifling engagement, Shouhl circuni
stances be diflercnt, however, they will be ac orded a
fierce reception, and perhaps succumb before the superior
force opposing them. If they manage to secure a fouihold
on the beach, they must fight wiih the cmirage of lions
for every inch of ground gained, for (he wtmds are alive
widi brave soldiers battling fearlessly and straining every
effort to drive the enemy back into the sea, Kven a
liiumph here is only temporary, for the attacking bodies
still have to face the blinding fire of the forts ami batteries
dose 1 y, and it is a seritius (juestion, be their determina-
tion ever so resolute, whether victory will finally perch
up<m their banner.

Thedcfending force in this imposing struggle between army
and navy is composed of the lliike tif Wellington's Regi-
ment, the Royal Artillery, Ko)al Kngincer--. b,U<' Hattalion
of Halifax Rifles, 66th Princess l.ouisf busiliers and ll.ili
fax CJarrisim .Artillery. This powerful army is distributed
around at the various important noints, inchnbng the fort

Large bodies are held in reserve at several points, whence
they can Ih: speeclily ordered to a place which (he enemy
are about to or are expected to attack. Large steamers are
held ill readiness to transport the reserve troops at an in
stant's notice. Kach regiment is under (he charge of its
own officers and the entire army is commanded by an olTicer
appointed by tieneral Sir J«din Ross and stationed in the
Citadel signal station, from which he can observe the
enemy's movements and gc»vern himself accordingly, tele-
graphing his orders to the fortifications and other points
where the troops are massed.

As already stated, the bombardment commences quite
early in the day, and it does not reach its close tilt even-
ing, by which time the enemy has managed to bring ailairs
to a crisis. Then the ships return to their anchoring places j
ami (he w^ary soldiers who have fought heroicallv for (he \
preservation of Halifax are brought back to the city by
difterent means of transport, receiving an ovation on their
arrival and marching ofl' to their (piarters amid the tumult-

THH MIMIC LAND BATTLh.

MONO the grandest
spectacles of Carnival

the mimic battle on the
land, for which
the Priiish
troops, the local
militia and na*
\al forces will
unite to render
il the most lea
listic event of
>} the kind ever
\\ itnessed in this
country. Th e
vast majority of
visitors will not likely ever have aiuHher opportunity to
enjoy such a striking and novel <lenions( ration, unless it be
cm a similar occasion in Halifax, so none should fail to
lake aflvantage of this imposing military and naval display,
in which stmie thiuisands of men will participate, tons
upon tons of powder expended, and hundreds of lives -sac-
rificed -perhaps. The conflict will probably rage for the
best part of a day and the most advantagetuis points from
which to witncsi. the culmination will he the (itadel hill-
sides and the residences and roads surroumUng the Public

The iletails of the gigantic operations will Ik* disclosed
only as the attack of the imaginary enemy progresses, as
the defending forces do not know the intended movements
of their foes. From similar events of (he past, however,
we arc enableil to give the reader a fair idea of what the
fight in all likelihood will be. The forces taking pan will
consist of the liuke of Wellington's (West Riding) Regi
ment, the Royal Artillery, Royal Kngineers, the 63rd IJal-
talion of Halifax Rifles, the 66ih Princess Louise Fusiliers,
the Jlalifax Garrison Artillery, ami large bodies of marines

and tailors from eight or more of Her Majcny'-* ship* .'

SPORTING GROUNDS.

The sportsmen will find in the country surroundii'ij/lll
fax an extensive field for the indulgence of their (iivoriti
pastimes. F.very other individual in Halifax is more or
less of an amateur sportsman and every year as the warm
weather approaches they hie themselves in swarms to
numerous resorts within easy access. Many of the lakes
and streams to the eastward and westwaril are fairly alive
with trimt, while some are noted for their salmon hshing.
Musquodohoit River, 30 miles east of Halifax, is one of llie
most famous resorts fr)r anglers, while at Mus([uodoboit I lar-
bor and Preston fine sea trout are c.iught. St. Margaret's
Hay and the neighboring lakes are also nttted annmg anglers.

ihcre is goo,l nioose hunting at Sheet Harbor .uid in
other parts of the county, while wihl ducks, woo([cDck,
snipe and other birds abound in nearly alUsecliitns of the
country. [

Hotel keepers and dealers in sporting goods are aj>Ie to
give strangers full information as to the most de^jrahle
routes to the best shooting and fishing grounds.

I'he leading athletic club ol the city is the Wanderers,
which has had a life of seven years, and whose member-
ship numbers 250, Their
grounils, situated almost in
the centre of the city, are
ahead o* .myin the provinces,
and rank amcnig the 1>est
athletic club grounds on this
side of the water. Their
sports include cricket, base-
ball, football, bowles, la-
crosse, tennis, qu<iits, row-
ing, bicycling, country run-
ning, runrung.junqiing, walk-
ing, hockey, fencing, boxing
and general athletics. The
('olor>i of the club, red and
black, have been carried to
victory on the fields of coun-
tries other than our own. In
iSSo (ieorge Tracey went to
New ^'ork and at the ( )lymp-
ii < lull's aiuniat games, open
to all amateurs, ran in the
(MX) yard handicap and I/i
tniles race-*. I le easily took
the first event, against a field
of 36 starter.!, (with a fifteen
yard handicap) in t ni. 16 3" 5s,
and finished third in the other
race. In the following year
he iigain went to New \'ork
and i)rnughl to Halifax the
half mile championship (tf
America, in this contest de-
feating I 2 starters and finish-
iiig in 2m. I 3-^s. Tracey
went to l)etroit last year and
again captured the half-mile
amateur championship, win-
ning quite easily in 2m,
2 I -5s. He also hohls the
half-mile and (|uarter-niilc
chainpionship medals of the
Maritime Provinces Amateur
Athletic Association. He has
held iiis club's half-mile
clianq>ionship sincj; '84, with
one exception (when he was
very heavily handicapped),
and the quarter-mile cham-
pionship since '86. W. A.
Henry is another prominent
Wanderer, excelling as a
sprinter, jumper and hurdler,
but most widely known as a
cricktter, Udng one of the
l)est an-rouml players in the
Hnminion, and having the
highest batting average in the
Canadian team which made
a tour of Fngland and Ire-
land two summers ago, W.
W, Walsh is the club's mile champion runner and he also
holds the medal for that race in the M. P. A. A.. '\.; his time
is 4111. 4^s. J. \i. ti. Houlton is another young antl very
promising long distance iiinnei,

'The Royal lilues are the Wanderers' rivals. Although a
nnich younger club their memlRTship roll reaches al>ont 150,
and includes some of our best athletes. They have splendid
grounds in the western part of the city. 'The Royal Blue
Snowshoe Club is one of the foremost. 1"hey have some
fast bicyclists, a good hockey team an<l their sports general-
ly are similar to those of the Wanderers. Arthur j,
Brady, the Blues' champion sprinter, holds the loo yards
and 220 yards championships o| the M.P.A.A.A., his
time for the loo dash Iwing io 3-5s. and for the 220
yards 24s. Brady holds several championships in his
own and other clubs, and for three successive years has
secured his club's championship medal. Ijist year he went
to .St. John and brought back to Halifax the loo yards
chanq>ionship, which Henry relin([uished to C'arvell a few
years ago. J. Frank Wall is a young but very swift run-
ner in 220 and quarter mile races. An accident last year
preventer! his participating in sports, but this year he is
.again in the field. A. S. Thompson of llie Royal Blues
last year won nine gold medals for hrst places in contests in

The only Company in Canada manufacturing the celebrated Incandescent Gas Burner.

^^^^p'HlS HUkNKR afTords the only salvation for gas companies in their competition with :.
"^^ I electric li^ht.

This burner will lonsiime the ordinary illnminatiiif; roal yas in siii h a way as to make the incandes
cent electric light look positively yellow.

It will produce a given amount of light with less than one-half the gas used in the ordinary burner.

It produces perfect cumlmstion, not ,i fi'tult of sool or siiiok,- is given off, and there is but lii:!
vitiation of the air of a room.

It is an extremely steady light ; no llii kering; delightful to read or work by.

It gives off only abmit onf t/m,/ the h,-,it oj oiiliHiXiy burners.

It re(|uires no (hanije in brackets or chandelier.s— simply unscrew the old burner and screw on llio
Welsbach.

It will give from eight to twelve landlepower per foot of gas.

It will produce a brilliant light wiUi non-luminous fuel gas.

It can be used with the Springfield or any other gas madiine— in tac t with any kind ol vapor or g.'
that will produce heat in combustion.

We believe the Welsbach liurner to be the light of the future, and feel that anything that will enable
ordmary gas to be burned in such a way as to make the ctectrie lix/it tool; _ye/to7i', and will cut the gas bili.
at least in two, and at the same time produce in every way a better light, is surely one of the greatest
inventions of modern times.

THH PUBLIC GARDENS.

\ KRVItODV confesses titat the public
^aniens of Halifax will comimre

sorts of the kind to l>e found on the
ccnUincnt of America, There are

cedar, sumach, tdive, ivy, spruce, and pine. Many of these
are very beautiful, among them Ijeing a noble Dutch elm,
with eight large trees griiwing in a group from a single
trunk, and making a sha<ie extending over a wide area.
The trunk is siirrountled by seats and is a favorite spul for
love making.

In the summer seastm, twice a week in the afternrKuis,
bands play on the grand stami ; and nothing can excee<l the
beanty of the scene when the whole space is illuminated
with difierent culoreil lights, and when sky rockets and
other pyrotcchnical displays add to the weird attractions.

These gardens reflect great credit upon the taste and
public spirit of Halifax. They are maintained al consider-
able expense, and the lax is cheerfully paid, as tney are
free to all alike. They are under the management of a
joint commission of alilermen and other eiti/ens selected
by the city council, and have been carefully looked after,
as they f<jrm one of the chief objects of city pride, and
well they may. "A glimpse of Paradise" is scarcely too
cxtravtigant an expression to use with reference to the
Halifax public gardens when seen at their best.

about two ndles inside uf

Meagher's Iteach. These,

with the ^gnals previuujily

in operation, make it as safe

for a Hhip to enter port In

thick weather a» in cle:\r.

The business of the port is
rapidly increasing. The har-
bor front is lined with over
sixty wharves, some extend
ing far out into the stream,
and nearly all having depth
enough to accommodate the
largest steamers.

.Seventeen lines of steam-
shijis run to and fnuii here,
as follows: Allan, lo|,iver
pool and (dasgow ; Homi
niim, to Liverpool; Kurness,
to London ; Uunaldson, to

i'ishwick's Lxpress, tuChar-
loitetown, P. L. I. ; Vor-
mouth, to Yarmouth, via
intermediate ports; Lunen-
l»*rg and I lalifax Packet
Line. A large trade is carried
on l>etween Halifax and the
West Indies by sailing ves-
sels, brigantines ami schoon-
ers Ijcing the craft thus em-
ployed. 'The principal ex-
ports tc the islands are diy
and pickled fish, tundier and
shingles, the vessels bring
ing return cargoes of sugar,
molasses and mm. A consi-
derable portion of the sugar
thus brought is now pur-
chased by the Nova Scotia
refinery. The dry (lock, now
about completed, will be one
of the Wst anil largest in the
world, atut an invaluable ac-
quisition to the port.

'The hart)or is about live

miles in length, and in some

placeiioveramile wide. It is,

as a rule, as calm as a pond

and very little affected by

storms or heavy seas from the

Atlantic,the force of whichis broken by M.icN.ib*sand(;eorge's

Islands. At the up|)er pan of the harbor u large railroad

bridge spans what is known as the Narrows, connecting the

Intercolonial railway with the town of Dartmouth. 'The

bridge has a uraw to allow vessels to pass through into

Hediord Basin, one of the tinest sheets of water in the

world and larger than mt>sl harbors, l>eingover fdteen nules

in circumference. It is saul to be capable of hohling the

entire British navy.

'Ilie numl>er of vessels which arrived at this port from
foreign ports during the last hscal year was 1,006, of a total
tonnage of 589,343 ; the numlier coastwise was 2,988, of a
total tonnage of 297,543, making a grand total of 31994 ves-
sels ai'd 886,886 tons. Visitors wishing to take a sea
trip, after the exhaustive festivities of Carnival week, have
numerous opportunities atTorded them by the steamship
lines cent*?rnig at Halifax, on any of which they will
be accorded comfortable cpnirters and receive ample atten
tion, and can journey pleasantly to any of the numerous
beautifully situated resorts to be found on the Nova Scotia
coast.

The successful management of the Society is also slumn
by the fact that ot all the leading companies it has —

1, The Highest Uatio of Assets to Liabilities (12S jier
cent.) ; ami,

2, The smallest Ratio of Expenses to New Husineis
(3.22 per cent.).

The chapter of the SocVty provides that its busiuf>s -liil
l)e conducted on the mutu.il plan, under which the nrulits ui
the business 1>elong to and are divided among policy-lxiMfh
exclusively.

The Tontine policy, which, in its various forms, \v:is dc
vised by the lujuilalde, i is revolutionized the busiiu--^ nf
life assurance.

L'nder this system policy-holders have received l.irj^tr
]irolits than are possible umler any other form of as^;lr.lnl■c,
and it is confidently recommended as the best policy cmi nf
fered i>y any life assurance company. The surplu.ol \\y
Society is divided on the " t'ontribuli*Mi plan;" i.e. m pro

ACROSS THE HARBOR.

ARTMOUTI!, the town
lying opposite Ilnlifnx
on the eastern side of
the harbor, is a
prettily siti'ated
and hustling little
place of about
five thousand in-
habitants. It is
j^rrniMided by scenery of the most enchanting description,
lovtdier spot than the " Cove" l)eing difhcult to find. On
si<ie of the hill commanding the cove are a number of
arming villas, with well cultivated gardens and flower
plots and ctnhowered among trees. Standing on a high
bill at the north of the town you can have a magnificent
Yiew of the harbor, the city of Halifax, Bedford Ilasjn and
the splendid chain of Iwautiful lakes which stretch from the
bsclt of the town to Waverley, famous fur its gold mines.

VISITING THE FORTIFICATIONS.

It is not an easy matter to get inside any of the numer-
ous forts in and around llaTifax, No person outsi<ie of
military circles is permitted to enter without presenting a
pass signed by the proper oflicer. The interior of any of
the fortihcations is highly interesting, but the Iwst one
for strangers is the Citadel, from the ramparts of which they
may obtain a very fine view of the whole surrounding city
and country. The passes referred to are to l)e obtained at
the Brigade office, Pleasant street, foot of Spring (iarden
Koad. Vou must l>e careful in your actions inside the
Citadel uidess you <Iesire to be placed under arrest as a
supposed Fenian, but it is probable a soldier will l)e de-
taile<l at the gate to accompany you in your saunter through
the fort, an<l he will take goo<l care to give warning as to
what should and what should not be done. The other
principal forts about Halifax arc: I'"ort Charlotte, George's
Island ; Fort Ogilvie, Point Pleasant ; Fort Clarence,
Eastern I'assage ; Ives' Point, MacNab's Island, and York
Kedouht, guarding the outer entrance to the harbor.

Fitzgerald, third baseman and left fielder, and Michael
Pender, right fielder, all former members of the Atlantas,
were secured. James Doyle, who caught iJavison in the
Socials in 1887, was induced to leave (iardiner, Me., where
he ha<l l>een residing, nnd return to play with the Socials ;
he alternates at second base and back slop for Davison.
The other nemliers of the team are : Robie Davison,
pitcher ; Howard Smith, first base ; John Graham, third
base, and John O'Brien, centre field, all of whom were with
the club last season, Kobie Davison, who captains the
team, has proved himself a twirler of great ability, amL
Halifax people think his superior cannot l>e found in the
provinces. Smith, Graham, O'Brien and Pender have per-
formed good work on the diamond heretofore, and this
season are expected to exceed even their previous work.

When the formation of this team was finally arranged the
need of a professional coacher became apparent, in order
to keep up with the progress of the game in the provinces.
Correspondence w[*s opened with numerous ajiplicants for
the position, among whom was Flynn, who won fame as a
twirler with the Chicagos in 1K86, when they won the

tern Passage, l,awrencet<)wn and Cow Bay, the latter being
One of the finest bathing places that can be imagined, the
Iprf rolling in troiii the .Atlantic along a low sandy lieach

'O to three miles In length. Taking another route to the
wan! of this, Chezzetcook, a French settlement, presents
unitiue appearance. Here may Ih; found French Acadians
in the garments, speaking the language and maintain-
WB the traditions and habits of the race, the same as depict-
taby l^ngfellow in the immortal poem '* Fvangeline."
Directly to the back of Darlmoulh, a distance of ei^^ht miles
sod forming a most delightful drive, with glimpses of lake
■Cenery intermingled with forest and cultivated field, the
colored settlement ot Preston is reached, and here there is
puch t(t interest and amuse the tourist. Further on one
Iteliches Musquodoboit and Porter's I.ake, classic spots much
itdintred by every visitor for their sylvan scenery.

A day or so may be spent very pleasantly in visiting
Dartmouth and its surroundings. Nature has favoied it
iibundantly and the wealth and taste of many of its citizens
have supplemented the eflbrts of the bounteous dame.

BASEBALL CLUBS OF HALIFAX.

Vi;!> ^IICRK is no city in Gan.ida where the great
American national game of baseball has
obtained a greater hold than in Halifax,
our numerous athletic grounds and the
Public Common aHording accomnuKla-
tions not surpassed by any city on the con-
tinent.
■^xY (J ^ / For years past Halifax has been ac-

Lc^ SjfcC customed to see two senior teams contest-
|V^ , JKj - ing for the supremacy with varied success
ViC^ tft the Socials and Atlantas, or, as the lat-
^ v'"' ' ter were known for a time, the Y. M.
L. A.'s. Near the close of last season these teams joined
hands, and iluring the winter season it was deemed that a
sort of amalgamation was advisable by which the Socials,
still retaining their name, should get a few of the Atlantas
to strengthen the team and pKice it in a position to cope
with any foreign teams which might visit Halifax. So the
services of John White, the star catcher of the city ; Richard

National League pennant. He was engaged to coach and
alternate in the box, at a salary e jeding that of any pro-
fessional ball player in this country. The team is now
composed of those named, and with some coaching will
make a combination hard to beat.

'Hiere are ;nany other teams in the city Iwsides the
Socials, prominent among them being the clubs com-
posing the Halifax Amateur Baseball league, the Stand-
ards, S'oung Men's I iterary Association nine, St. Patrick's
Society team. Socials (second nine) and the Wanderers,
Royal Blues, St. Mary's Society nine and Chebuctos.
The latter hail from Dartmouth, but play games with the
Halifax clubs. The Amateur league was formed in 1888,
when it consisted of five clubs, one more than this season.
A schedule of games was played during that season, in
which the Standards were winners, with the Y. M. I,. A.'s
a goo<l second. By winning (he championship of th-
league the Standards carried off the handsome [Hmnant
offereil by the Dah V Kriin. At the inception of the
league Frank J. !*ower, than whom but few in the city
know more about baseball, was elected president, and he
filled the office so acceptably that he was re-elected this

EXCURSIO^S BY WATER.

No harbor in the world can begin to compare with the
harbor of Halifax in the l>eauty and variety of scenery
which it presents to the water excursionist. Given a
•learner and a fine <lay - and fine days are the order of the

.day in Halifax in the summer season — fill it up with cxcur-

■'iionists bent on a water jncnic, and we know of no place
where they can have a Iwtter opportunity for enjoyment
than on Halifax harbor and adjacent waters. The harbor
itself gives many s(|uare miles of placid water, antl lieau-
tlftil sciiiery op the Dartmouth shore, and a fine sea view,

J|rith MiuNab's and George's Islands to glide around. If
9p choose to sail up Itedford Basin we find a sheet of
"wter uneipialled in beauty. On its eastern side it is dot-
Itd with lovely little islands, richly wooded. On the
west is a series J little villas, charming retreats stretching
•long the picturesque shade until we reach Bedford itself,
where we may lanil and have a ramble uji the Sackville
River or hear it brawling over the rocks Wfiire it leaps in-
to the Basin.

George's Islands, the Fnstern Passage, the lighthouses, the
ailitary stations and forts, and the rugged and bold dills
of the western shore, with fishing hamlets nestling at their
MM. We turn the Bulnt and proceed up the North-West

Arm, elsewhere spoken of, and without exception the most
bewitching and indescribably Iwautiful bit of land and water
scenery to l>e found in North America. No visitor to Hali
fax in the summer season should fail to lake advantage of
steamer excursions on the harbor, or if one does not care
for a steamer, probably crowded, sail boats may be had.

A BLIGHTED MUSICIAN.

|0 I play the flute? Well no— at least
not now. I swore off years ago, and
have not fingered a key or puckered a
lip since. Did I excel? Undoubt-
ly I Was a specialist ! Tell you
all about it ? All right. You see,
the first time I struck New Glasgow I
Ftrnck it with my head. I took a
header otT a load of rye straw that I
had brought in from the country, and was down in the
world. I was down in It alwut a foot. I could have gone
down further, for it was spring time and there were unlimited
opportunities, but my ambition didn't run in that direction.
I don't think I was received with the amount of ceremony
that should have lieen accorded to a boy of my rank. I was
very rank Still, when a boy is down in the world he has
to put up with these drawbacks.

I had not been long a respected citizen of the town before
it struck me that I ought to do something to distinguish

were playing with a good deal of vim and enthusiasm and
resolution and diabolical glee, and as we played we threw
in fistfulls of "crcRcndos" on the start and peppered it with
" grandios4is " and scattered staccato tones all along the
back stretch, and were just about to come under the wire
with a wild "confuria" movement when I heard a eentle
tap at the door and the landlady entered in a bashful and
subdued way. I thought the melody had touched her heart,
so without speaking -for I didn't want to break the spell
— 1 motioned her to a chair. She said, in a most oily and
passive way:

<* [ see, Mr. Dee, that you are musically inclined."

I didn't like the compliment. I thought she might have
A/arJ by this time instead of s^tittg. But I swallowed my
ire and replied that ** I thought it quite an accomplishment
to be able to while away the time pleasantly and profitably."

"O! indeed," she said; "so it is — a — Would you be
kind enough to favor me with a selection ? Let me see,"
she continued aloud. "O I yes; would you be kind enough to
play * Home, Sweet Home.' It's so long aince I've heard it."

I said, " With pleasure, Madam ; " then threw my head
back with the air of a professional, puckered my mouth, and
was about to sail in. But the quiet sarcasm of that request
had killed the flute. It was as voiceless as a graven image.
So I carried it out to the garden, dug a grrve two feet deep
due east and west, and gave it decent burial. And unless
there's a resurrection of flutes I'll never play again. No,
never !

FIREMEN.

The Halifax fire de-
partment is a volunteer
organization. It Is second
in enthusiasm and energy
to none of its size in the
world, being composed
of sturdy, fearless men,
who never flinch at the
call of duty. The chief
branch of the depart-
ment is the Union En-
gine company, which was
formed August 8, 1768,
and reorganized May 21,
1861. Its active mem-
l>ership consists of 150
men, <livided into eight
divisions. Following is
a list of the company and
division ofijcers : —

myself. So I joined a flute band. 1 was the leader of the
band ; also the tenot, and the t>ass. and the drummer, and
the other members. The bald fact was that the flute and
myself constituted the entire orchestra.

After we got organized and had somewhat mastered the
rudiments, which occupied several minutes, we commenced
to play " Home, Sweet Home." We played it laboriously,
continuously and diabolically, until we discovered by certain
overt acts that the people in town didn't take kind!) to pro-
digies of the smooth bore variety, when I left for Halifax,
taking the entire band with me. We had not been long
there when we were all attacked by home sickness, and so
we played "Home. Sweet Home" as a sort of counter-
irritant, besides, we wanted to ingratiate ourselves with
the landlady. We played that tune in the morning, we
played it at noon, we played it in the twilight. We arose
at the dead hour of the night and warbled for all we were
worth. We played at intervals, we played it on Sundays,
on feast days, fast days, and holidays. We played it in the
beautiful spring and all along the summer, and when
autumn arrived and the leaves were sere and yellow the
wild weird notes of that flute could tie heard moaning for
"Home, Sweet Home" and the dying year.

Still, malicious as I was, I always played it the same
way. Music is like stroking a cat's back. So long as you
stroke it with the fur it is all right ; but if you rub it back-
wards, there's trouble. Just so with music. So long as
you continue to play it straight away it coes nice and
smooth, but it riles it up a good deal to play it backwards.
I always commenced at one end and when I got to the other
I got olT and walked back to the place of begiindng.

Well, the people in the house got to know that parti-
cular selection when they heard It elsewhere. They did
not recjuire to have fome one draw their attention to it, anfl
say "That is the tune the ooarder in number seven works
aU" They knew it. One day we were unusally lonely and

shore porl^. The Allan liners brinfj a great many passen-
gers from Ualtimore to Halifax ii> inimer time, and the
neamers ut the Red Star Line, of wi.ich F. D. Corlieti »Sr»
Co, are agents, carry large lists to and from New York.
Corb0tt tS-- < o. are also agents of the Anglo-French Line to

St. Pierre. The pleasant and comfortable side-wheel
steamer C ity of St. John runs to Yarmouth, where it con-
nects with the Yarmouth for Boston. Ilxe M. A. Starr
plies eastward to Charlottetown, P.F.I., under the manage-
ment of Fishwick's exj)ress.

SUPERIOR HOTELS.

The hotels of Halifax compare favorably with any In
Can.ada, having no superiors and few equals, while charges,
even for sumptuous quarters in the finest locations, ar»' re-
markably miMierate.

'I'he Halifax and (^)ueen, situate<t on Ilollis street, in the
business centre, and the Waverley, situatetl in the fashion-
able and exclusive quarter of Pleasant street, between
Morris and South, are the three largest representative
hotels that may l>e mentioned. Fach afiords accommotla-
tion for a large number of guests, and lietween them they
can find rnon. for an enormous crowd of people. These
houses are the favorite sojourning places of the wealthy
class, while the Halifax and (^lueen, owing to their con-
venient situation, draw a large propcntion of the business
people visitinu the city. The Waverley's pleasant location
at the south end makes it always a popular resort, and par-
ticularly so in summer time. It caters largely to thcaiisto-
cratic class of guests, while the Halifax and <Jueen have
also entertained many distinguished personages making
brief t)r extended visits to the city. The Halifax has l)een
enlarged this summer by the addition of a wing that will
enable Messrs, Hesslein to acconimwlate a considerably in-
creased number of guests, while a spacious and elegant con-
servatory has been erected for the special Iwnefit of visi-
tors. Improvements have l>een made this year at the

Queen .is well, for Manager Sheraton Is deterndned to
maintain its popularity and increase the extensive and
profitable class of i)atrons he has drawn to its shelter in a
very short time. The Waverley is conducted by the
Misses Romans, who have had a prosperous experience in
the hotel business, and have made their splendid establish-
ment famous by the thoroughly etBcient manner in which it
is managed. Throughout the Waverley's appointments are
rich and elegant.

The Albion is another commmlious house, which the
well-k^jwn proprietor, Mr. 1*. I\ Archibald, was not long
ago compelled to enlarge in order to meet the demands of
steadily increasing business. The Albiim is one of the
most comfortiible hotels in Halifax, and may also be
numln^red among the largest. The Lome House, which
occupies a Ijeautiful situation on Morris street, is principally
for permanent boarders, but receives transient as well.
The Royal, on Argyle street, i>f which Mr. L. I). Winsor is
proprietor, is also a tirst-class hotel, where anybody can
feel sure of being comtortal>ly quartered an<l receiving every
attention. The Acadian in (Iranville street is a house of
moderate size and reasonable charges.

The Rialto, on Water street, is principally selected by
provincial people as their stopping place. Among the
t)ther good houses generally termed second-class are the
Revere, North street, and the British American and Cale-
donia, Water street. There is an endless numl>er of
smaller hotels and boarding houses situated in all p.irts of
the city, most of them Hrst-class in all respects, which it is
impossible to designate by name in this article.

Visitors unable to secure rooms at any of the houses
mentioned are advised to drive to the Carnival Committee
Rooms, corner of Granville and Ceorge streets, where they
can gel the ad<lresi-es of numerous good places able to ac»
commodate them.

N thf summer uf l8().(, I (ittt'tl (uu ill
Wilmington the steamer "AtalaiUa" as
a (_'()nfetleratf manof war. She wiis
built at Millwall nn thu-'rhamesfiii the
l-".ast Inilia track', was uiie of the lirsl
vessels to use twin screws, anil was
well adapted (oi a eniiser. She i-iuild
steam thirteen knots, which at that time
was considered very fast. With a liat-
teryipf three pivot (^uns, antl a crew of iSo rn<Mi and otiiceis,
•be Was christened the '* Tallahassee " on hoi^tin^ the pen-
lUWt.

At this time, Wilmington was blockadeil by a Heel of
fifteon or twenty steamers, and tlic ni<ist extraordinary
extftions were made by the l-edcrals to close the |)ort -
faC| )rith the exception t»f Charleston, whose entrance had
bc#n greatly ibstnicted by sinking vessels in the channel,
it Ms the only means of communication the Confederacy
ha^ ^t'l t''^* "iilside worhi, and through which it received
•OlMIt IhU necessary, supplies (}f arms, clothing, medicines,
etC»c A bad bar obstructs the mouth of the Inpe Kear
Kirinr, on which Wilmington is situated, aiul adtle<l to the
difl^lties and dangers of evading the blockaders. Only
on moonless nights was the attempt made, i'or two nights
we fcitcd, owing to our grounding on the bar, but on tlie
ihipd night we crossed safely, only touching once or twice.
A* we cleared it a rocket from a launch close aboard was
a tig^l to the lleet that a blockade-runner wa!» coming
out.

"Ahead full siH-'ed ! " was the order signalled to the
fOgioe-nion), and under a full head of steam the " Tallahas-
Ite" stalled foiwnrd into the darkness tike a sleuth-hound
Med from its leash.

1|»ery light was extinguished ; even the binnacle was
shftdsfl. rlie crew at <|uarters. The look-out in the forC'
Dg uports a vessel on the port bow, close aboard.
iOilt sUady ! " The stranger signals, but waits only a
mhnite f"! an answer and fires with a light gun. As we
ptiS close under his stern we hear the sharp, ([uick words
of command of the captain of the after pivot, " Klevate !
steady ! Im- ! " and the discharge ol a heavy shell gun, like
a flow of lightning, shows the position of the enemy, and
at the same moment that of another blockader nearly ahead
bfa a dri de to and hea^ling Ut the southward. Starboarding a
little, we pass astern of this one also. Signals are rapiilly
cxcbuiged with three or four of the l.dockading lleet and
rockets are thrown in the direction we arc steering. Ilie
Arst-^fessel keeps up a rapid tiring and is joined by one of
the others, but it is very wild and harmless as far as we are
cpnce^ed. In an hour we are outside all the inshore fleet
and i^and to northward and eastward.

Aldaylighl we were about fifty miles off-shore antl in the
neWft>oihotMl of the olV-shorc blockading fleet, cruising to
pick 8I> vessels which shouhl succeed in escaping during the
night* Two steamers were made nut in ipiick suin-.-sion,
one l^^c.^d and one on the starboard In-ani. To avoid them
it w'4*^ lUACssary cither to stand lu the westward, which
would lake us iubhore again, or to steam tu the southward,

rig^g
"TOt

which I wa luath ti* ilo, lor 1 was bound to the northern
c(<ast of the i iiited Slates. 1 lowever, there w as no alterna-
tive limn to up helm and run for it. We were sighted at
the same time by one of ihe ships and she lired three guns
as a signal to other vessels in the neighborhood.

As the day grew oldei we Tnade the nearest one out to
be a large siile wheel steamer, sipiare rigged forward, —
almut three miles distant, on our port (piarter ; the other
astern, a mile or two farther oil. 'Hie wind was nuHlerate
froni the westward, and fair for the si'le whreler, who soon
had everything drawing. My fore and aft sails were tif
little help. At the end of a half hour it was ap|>arent that
llie enemy was gaining. I sent
for the chief engineer and asked
him if he couM not tlo belter-
open her out a little more, lie
would try, but wasafraitl of hot
journals. I so4ui saw our only
chance was to run Ut windward
or Iwfore the wind to neutralize
the canvas tif the pursuing
steamer. The lirst was prefer-
able, but it took us right back
toward the block.tding fleet, and
to steer to the eastward with the
wind took us across the bows of
<iur pursuer, who hung on to our
poit ipiarter. However, it nmsl
l)e tried, and we edged oil a half
point at a time.

We w ere now fast Hearing eacli
other. The three miles were
now two. Hut as we brought
the wiml more and more aft we
gladly noticed that she ceased
to come up so fast and was soon
nearly astern. Her sails hung
up and down the masts. I-'.very
thing iscleavetl up together, and
as her crew run aloft to furl, she
sheers about two points and lires
her lirst gun. It is well intended,
but falls short. She is now
within a mile and we see her
olliccrs on the bridge, the crew-
working the forward guns, h'or-
tuuately she has no pivot forwani
and caimot bring a gun to l>ear
without sheering about twi> or
three points, and in doing this
she of course loses ground.
Without her sails we held our
own, and indeed were conuiienc
ing to widen the distance l>etween
us, particularly as she continued
to fire, sheering first to starlmard
and then to poit. One shell
passed uncomfortably near, < ill
ting the smoke-slack guys, but
olhcrwise ihc firing was wide.
I was strongly tempted to use

our after pivot, but to do so would expose our chnrac*
ter, ami I was anxious to rcneh Ihe neighlHirhiHMl of
New York and bonton without warning.

It wa<i near noon and our pursuer MiTt kept in our
wake. We could see by the Kmokc from her funnel
that they were supplementing their fuel with roftin,
oil, et('. ; but we wtc gradually drawing away fron)
hei, ns well as from her consort, which wtHfull down
astern. My only anxiety wan our engines, and I knew
that one was giving the chief a gcod deal of trouble.
Soon after pipini: to dinner he came up and rcpor|e<l
that he nnisl stop the port one long enough to let the
journals cool and key up. I asked him if he could
not hold on for an hour or so, and by that time the
enemy might haul oft, as he saw we were leaving
him. 1 le replied he was afraitl not. To do so would
endanger a seriotis breakdown, I t<dtl him to keep
her turning till the last moment and then shut off.
The log showetl a s|H.'ed of a long thirteen knots. An
ominous jar from Itelow and a puff of steam from the
escape pliH* nt)lilieil us that we were temporarily
eripided.

The enemy was now fully two miles distant heading
straight for us, milking a Iwtter wake than we could —
an advantage that the enemy always has. With a
rich pri/eaheati as they thought, tliey had ntt idea of
giving up the chase. \\'iih only the slarboanl engine
working, our spe d stioii ran down to ten knots, and
then lo nine. The enemy of course gained rapidly,
and soon, from the movements on her bridge and
deck, I couhl see they divined what was the matter.
The chief said half an hour would l>e suthcicnt to
cind otV antl tighten up, and a mure anxious thirty
mitmtes I never passed. 1 had kept the crew out uf
sight, but now ordered Mr, Ward, the hrst lieutenant,
U* semi the after divisiini to <[iiarlers. We must try
and cripple the enemy In-fore he got loo close aboard
and iHrfore his friei'd could come up. The after pivot
was a six inch I'arrott rifle, that had l>een capturett
from the enemy. The first shot was high, and the
second too far to the right. 1 jumped aft to pitch
into the captain of the gun, but saw nt once the difli-
eulty of making any correct liring. T\\c vibration
from the one screw was so great it was impossible
to lay the gun with any accuracy. 1 tried one shot
and did no JHtter. (Uir big friend was losing no
time now by tiring, but, within less than a mile, was rapidly

I approaching. .\s I went forward again 1 heard the welcome
words, "All reaily again, sir."

**Ahead full speed, )>oth engines," and the "Tollahassee"
again jumps forward and I feel that we are all right. As
soon as the enemy tliscovers she is losing ground once

: more she sheers ofV and gives us a broa<lside. One shell
bursts overhead and two or three fragments a'eiml)edded in

I the deck.

The chase is continued all the afternoon^ until at sunset

I we see our jMirsistent foe turn slowly and head to the north-

I ward. N'ears afterwards I iiu-t (apt. I'arker, an old ship-

A German steamf was brought lo by a shot ahead of
her. She was crowdet". with passenj^ers. 1 sent a boat on
iKHtrdt with orders to tell the captain that New York was
bU/ckaded and warn htm oil. I lis surprise was only
equalled by hi> anj^er, Amsterdam, Kntterdain, Schiedam
and all the other Mams were ciilled on, and loud and
furioa* denunciations. The boardiii]^' otlicer lefi him after
sugntfteg that riitladelphia was still open. Me stood
to tW Moth ward, and in a couple of hours we lost sij^ht of
him.

From late New \ nrk [lapers, wt.- learned that the enemy
were now thoroughly aroused and that a luindier of vessels
were ordered in pursuit, and that soon i>ur'present preserve
would be made too warm for us. Standing to the eastward
we rouadc<l Nantucket and into Hoston Ilay, then along shore
as far aa the I'enobscot, thence to Cape Sable, contimiing
to pickup a mtmlH.'r of prizes. Small coasters and lisher-
men Wtrc not molested, except sometimes to put our
prisoners on board. Krom some we obtained provisions
and (Ut|^lies of all kimls. Only coal w.as needed and one
bwrkf Sft **Glenarvon,"was loaded with Welsh coals, but
there was no practicable means of shiltini; the cargo at sea,
andJI.inu teluctanlly forced to scuttle the vessel. Halifax

and to all 1 made the -.ante answer that the <^lueen's '.
l'roclamati(ui had lieen and woidd In.' fully observed, as
well as the rights t»f neutrals.

At the expiration nl fnrty-eighl hours 1 was ready, except
the mast was tint completed. The /Vdniiral sent Captain

the Ileet ns a show of fnrce, that I must leavi- TIil- ( aptain

Me ielt alter an hour or two spent pleasantly in my cabin^^'
The next morning the new spar came almigsttlc and was
soon in ]dace, and prepaiatituis were made fnr getting under
way.

i'he day after our arrival a Federal cruiser was reported
ntVlhe harbor, and soon after a second one was in sight.
The Atlmiral otVereit me a safe convoy outside of the limits,
but I declined it. and determined to go out at night. In
looking over the chart of the harbor with Pilot jock I'lcni-
niing, who had lieen recommended tome, I asked him what
water we wouhl carry nut through the Eastern pass.age.
lie said it was the spring titles and fmirteen feet might be
found, but the channel was itarmw and crooked and with a
hmg ship be wouhl nni ailvise it. I lohl hint il he could liml ,

the land could Ik.' seen of course nil i-ither hand, but in the
darkness it was hard to say whether it was a cable's length
or a mile distant. However, !■ lemming instinctively kepi
the ship in the chaimel. Only once. olT l.awlor's Island,
did he hesitate, and there I sent a lH)at ahead lo mark the
tuni. We touche<l nothing except the eel-grass. My mid
night Mevil's Island lights wete al>eam and we felt the
pulsations of old mother ocean, and right welcome they
were.

old man .and over a glass of l>eer at Capt. llird's he would
love to talk of taking the "Tallahassee" out tlic ICastern
i'assage the darkest night he ever saw. I*t him R. l. 1*.

Our return to Wilmington was uneventful. I ha<l in-
tended calling at liermuda and Nassau, but the yellow
fever prevcntetl. We ran through the blockading squadron

Vat'hiing has Iwrn a popular pAMime with (he permle of
llalifax for full half a crnlury a long time In the hiilory
of the «|H)rt when It is comidereil that half a century ago
it war In its infancy In (iraat Urtlain and practically unknown
in the Slates. For full hfty years (here has been a yachting
organisation of one kiml an*! another in llatlfaa, and a
record of the keen and melting races that have lieen sailed
in that linte would compare not unfavorably with those of
far more famous clubs and npiailrons. hnr a numliei of
yearn nait, the Koyal Nova Scotia \ acht .S()uailron has
t»een (he yachting club of the city, and for Ihnl matter of
the provlnccH, liecaute thus far the yachtsmen of the smaller
ports have, instead of starting clubs of their own, liecome
memlierH of the larger Mpindron. Tlie yachts of the s()uafl

nnd Constellations among them. Hut thtir si/e has encour-
aged Corinthian seamanship, and there is probably nowhere
to be found a smarter lot of amateur yachtsmen, of men who
sail their own Imats for the health and amusement of it,
than among tho members of the squadron. It is a good
proof of the growth of the club that it has come to the
conclusion that it can alVord and must have a club house.
Arrangements have Iwen made for the purchase of a water
lot just on the Imrders of the l)eautiful Point Pleasant Park,
on wh ich wil I be erected a handsome club house and a large
and commoilious house for small Ixiats and canoes. The
courses over which the races of the squadron are sailed are
in full view from the club house, and a more charming spot
for a summer afternoon it would be hard to find. If some
of our " American friends " who, more and more each year,
spend their summer vacation with us, would bring their
yachts with them, they would Iw sure of a warm welcome
and a good race from the yacht squadron.

Hamkax is not only excellent in itself as a city, but it is
backed up by an honorable country. There is more intel-

its vicinity than any other city in Ihe lower provinces.

Halifax is a city of boundless charities. For a city of
its size and population it has more homes devoted to the
care of the unfortunate than any other city in the world.
Us charitable and benevolent institutions are more numerous
and better equipped than those of any other city.

The sketches presented in our magnificent

of Halifax and an attack on the Citadel, are
from outline drawings by Mr. F. C. Uell, whose
able work with the brush has won him consider-
able local fame.

ENGRAVINi; AND PRINTING.

The engraving of illustrations and printing of
the inside pages of the Carnival E<no are
lasting testimony to the high-class workmanship
of Messrs. G. E. Desbarats Cr^ Son, Montreal,
publishers of Canada's popular pictorial, the
Dorrnnion Illustrated, The execution of the
illustrations by the photo gravurc process was
decided upon because it was belies ed the most
satisfactory results were to be ot mined for a
publication of this nature. The superior style in
which this delicate part of the work has been
l>erformed is exceedingly creditable to Messrs.
Hesbarats and their staff of artists.

TiiK City of Halifax has always held a most
unique position among the cities of this continent.
It has always lieen distinguished for the peculiar
character of its hospitality. The British visitor
has been struck with the peculiarly refined atmos-
phere of its aristrocratic element, and the Ameri-
can visitor with the superior culture of its demo-
cratic element. It is the city of extremes, in the
qualities and characteristics which make a city
delightful.

"Why?" a^ked her conipaninn,
ahsently. " Uoniantii" I Halifax?
It i.< only very dull, 1 think, some

thickly \M»o<led opposite shore rising in every shade of green
and blossom against the summer sky. "Look there! Is
there anywhere on the earth n more Iieautiful view than

With her words the American girl rose and, pushing
a-.ide a tangle of gourd vines, leaned over the verandah rail-
ing, letting hei eyes wander lovingly over lawn and shrul)-
beiy down the heaving grass lantl to where the waters
danced sunlit. Her cousin rosi- and joined her, and the two
gills ^tood l>eside each other, each a type of flieir race.
[ akin, yet dilVerent.

A Nova Scolian, biuii and reareil amid the snows and
pine trees, Knth Cheilton, without Iwing actually a U-auti-
f ful woman, had the clearness of eye and skin and (irmness
[ and roundness ol a girl who, in her tomboy days, had
[tobogganed and snowshoed with her brothers in the winter,
land pulled their l«nits ami rode their horses in the suinmei.

Now at tweiity-nne, her lolmgganing took, a milder form on
Collins' Ilill, with the accotnpaniment of a chaperon and
mulled claret. Net, if she did fiance s<inictimes until the
(laylight, it did not make any diflerence to her, when her
birds and flowers found her among them at an hour when
Captain or Major , her partners of the nighl be-

fore, would Ik- languiilly demanding a brandy md soda to
prepare them for the fatigue attending the duties of Her
Majesty's Service.

Hy and by her roundetl t'omi might lie full and voluptuous.
Now the silver belt she wore daspt-d a ;,lender waist, ami
the soft fohls of her white gown outlined a gracelul figure.
The cousins were a little alike, but Marjorie's face lacked
the coloui and brightness of the other's, and cimiained a
sharper, nutre acute expression, while the stamp, the in
describable impre>sion of New \'oik, was upon hei clothes
and about hei. Ilie bangles on her wrisl> had an air of
Tiflany's, and Halifax young women wDuld lind those little
high-heeled boots of her's uncomfortable and unprofitable
wear in the t<iwn where rocks and stones obtrude unpleas-
antly on the pavements and veritably a snare unto your feet.

An observer would descrilH" Marjorie (irant as clever
and interesting-looking, Ruth was generally known among
liei aci|uaintances as a " sweet girl."

" llesides," went on Marjtnie, "here )ou do not always
!ive in the atmosphere of mor.ey that we do. It is so com-
fortable not to l>e forever hearing of dollars and cents and
judging people by their possessions first and themselves
afterwards. If the girls cannot aflord a new dress for a
dance, they just lirighten up an old one and look (|uite as

" Hear, I am very glad to hear you say so," said sweet-
faced Mrs. Cheiiton, coming through the long windows to
where the girls sIockI.

" Auntie." answered the girl, ciressingly, "you aiul dear
Unclf spoil me, I am afratd. I was just telling Ruth what
a lucky girl she is."

A pietty country home llii>' old-fashioned house, with its
broad verandahs and tiut lying lawns and ten aces ; the
silver thread of the Ann winding past its shores, studdeil
with cottages, large and small, and boathouses reflecting
themselves in the lightly rippled water. From where the
three ladies sal, a pretty foreground in their cool summer
dresses, they could see far out into the distance, where tlu-
hills stretched away from gieeii to purple, from purple intit

grey, the Arm widened into the ocean, and Thrum Cap
macle a l>lur on the hori/;on. The indescribable salt sea
scent njingled with the perfume of limes and hawthornes,
and as the afternoon sha<lows came stealing deeper across
the lawn.s, a "loo-ee" (rem young voices on the water made
a high note amid the tinkle of the teacups and low ehatter
of the voices of alxnit a do/en people now assembled round
the tea-table <m the verandah.

Deechwood held a just reputation for hospilnlity, and,
when "the Indies" were at home, rarely an afternoon
passed without Its l>evy of amis Jex maisoti establiKhe<l with
tea or straw 1>erries al)Out in the variouj shady places
whither their hostess would lead them.

In the group there were two or three pretty girls, and a
little married lady, with a baby face and innocent blue eyes
looking out from under a wide hat, "seeking what she
might devour," as Marjorie would say.

The ty|>e is not palatable to an American.

I'he son of the house (you could tell by his likeness to his
mother and sister) provided a small syren in pink with
strawlwrries ; and two or three army men, in white flannels,
stoo<l or lounged about, making themselves generally use-
ful. Conspicuous among these was a tall man- Captain
IVavers- his athletic figure showing to advantage in the
thunder and lightning bla/er thai showed he wrote R. \.
after his name. His face was bron/ed and fairly handsome.
There was no striking expression about il lo show whether
he was good, bad or inditVerent to outward appearance;
simply one of the many men in the service. Halifax sees
various varieties of ecmiing and going. .\ little taller and

Captain Travers talked to Marjorie, and Ruth's blue eyes
wanderetl more than once in their direction. Her com-
panion was a yiuinger looking man, with a pleasant face.
At the rink, in the winter, and at the garden tennis grounds,
where fashion congregates in the summer, it wa a usual re
mark among those astute iK'ople who generally know other
jH-ople's allairs iR-fore the interested parties are themsidves
aware of them, "that Mr. llanton was surely fond of Miss
Cheritori" w ith more truth, i>erhapN, than is usual to gos-

Don't worry, Mrs. Cheriton. l>ear Marjorie can look

niut herself," the girl said. ** Ix't nie fasten your cap for you.*'

Winner at Ueechwoml was a pleasant meal, not too hmj^,

nnd early enough to lie taken in the summer without lights.

None uf the party were in evening <lre.ss, for regulation din

m-r titilets and the delights of lobster spearing or boating

itii the water afterwards are not compatible. Indeed, the

juiinger Indies had exchanged their light summer ilti-^ses

for warm tailor guwns, for in Halifax, rarely too hot in the

uinnier titnr, the evenings are always cool. Out on the

ir.uitlah lay a heap of rugs and fur clonks, for use later on,

lid in the drawing room the dicker of a fire, although it

wni August, looked very comfortalije, as it glowed on the

h;iirs and bookdadcn tables, and danced on the rosewood

r Ruth's piano.

*'I>on't stay out too late," warned Mrs. Iherilon to
' In r girls" when the gentlemen joined them in the draw
ntu for cofliee, bringing with them a suggestive cigarette
dour.
" Do you mind smoke ?" asked Jack llanton, half guiltily.
•*1 like it," answered Marjorie, as she handed him his
lip. "My poor mother never feels the scent of a cigar
ftitliout tears coming to her eyes. My father was a great
inoker."
" Your mother is a widow ?" he interrogatetl.
She mnlded her hend. "And I nm her only chihi." she
iiswered, moving away from him.
"Winnie anil I are g<ting «»it in the canoe," called Tom
oiu outside. "Jack, ynu take llie girls in the white boat."
" I don't think 1 care to go on the water to night," sniil
iM.irjorie, by the fire. " I'm a chilly iwrson, you know. I
■ ;UI stny and tnlk to uncle and auntie. Go for n walk." as
ftlu-y hesitated. "I'll join you by and by."

'Your cousin doesn't look strong," Jack remarked, as
[tht-y strolled up the tree arched avenue, "and yet she never
leeins to lie really ill."

'I think It is her American bringing-up," returned his
fconipnnion. "They do not lead the healthy, uut-door life
kh.it we do, and they keep their houses too hot. When I
■was staying with Marjorie in New York, a couple of win-
Iteis ago, I had to keep my windows open, my room was so
Isutlocatingly warm."

"I suppose that hns something to do with it," answered Jnck.
They went up the long walk without sjieaking for some
pioments. Ruth hnd wrnpped a hmg red Russian fur-lined
jCloak around her. Her sclt hair was uncovered, and the
nan's eyes rested lovingly on the curls the night wind
blaved with, nnd the pure profUe uf her face against the
Iwiiight. At the gnte they stopped to listen to the frog
phoruR, '-Cheep-cheep, cheep-cheep."

"Nova Scotian nightingales," with a little ripple of
laughter. "Is not this air lovely?" throwing up her head
) inhale it.
' C ome down the shrubbery walk," said Jack, unsteadily,
Binging away his cigar.

The pineK nnd cednm in the hrdgm hennl nn oft told tale
that night, and nnor Jack went home to \\h bare barrack
rooms with a •mi) heart, lie had put his fate to the touch
and lout all, and the buy's brave heart was well nigh
broken at he toiwd on hia couch of little-ease, while at tne
day came in, hih restless ilumlicr was broken by the ham

" There is a screw loose somewhere," said Marjorie
tirant to herself, descending the broad staircase slowly
drawing on her long silk gloves, while C a|U. Travers'
tandem champed llieir bits at Heechwood door. " Ruth is
jealous of him ; Kulh is fretting about him. Whether it is
his fault or not -.eniains to be seen. Seven thousand a
year, Marjorie, is your worth," she muttered, settling her
hat l)efore the glass in the ball. " Yes, a nice little nest
•■'k't! ^**^ y""' '"'"' '''*'''" <''/''<""'■•" And, forthwith, this
young woman, whom her country folk would designate
"sntnrt," greeted the object of her thoughts all smiles at
the door.

Quick at repartee, fair to look on, to do L'apt, Travers
justice, he wouhl have enjoyed his drive quite as much had
her face W-en her fortune as now, when he looked upon it
as another stroke of the weilge home.

"Mem, the mater need not he ashamed of her,"
thought this Sim of* Mars, as a sudden sweep of wind over
the road by Steel's rond swept Mnrjorie's hat oO and the
sun fell delightedly on her uncovered hair, nnd kissed it
until it gleamed again. " Ry Jove !" he exclaimed aloud,
pulling up, while the groom started in chase of the truant
head gear ; " 1 wish my mother could see you now, Miss
Grant. She delights in pretty women."

"You don't call me a pretty woman ?" nsked Marjorie
demurely.

" Don't I ?" impressively ; "and a very dear one," in a
low tone. Then louder, for the groom's benefit, " I hoi>e
you can get that on, Miss Grant, in this blowly place."

" 1 guess its the gilding," was her irrelevant reply, ren-
dered unintelligible by the fact that she had two long hat
pins Ijetween her teeth.

"hook at those /. 'ling vessels. What a Meet of them
there is 1" she exclaimed, as the horses trotted along by the
sea road. " They look as if they were starting for a race.
Halifax has a right to be proud of this park," she went on.

" The wihl Iwanty of it it so imprcsiive. It must l>e even
more Iwautiful in winter, with the iprucei and iiinei laden
with snow, and the brcakrri roaring along the shore, The
forts are In keeping with it too," as they passed one with
the cannon on its ramparti pointing »< awn rot, and a couple
of soldiers lounging by the gate, who sprang to attrniton
and saluted as the dog cart went by,

" It is a guiwl Hintion," he answered ; " but I know a
better India if it were not for the heat, and (dbraltar is
not bad. See I There is the Knglish steamer, the fort-
nightly lH)al," drawing up lo watch the shiit ttenni slowly
past the mouth of the Arm up the broad harbour. They
remained after she had gone past, looking out over the
heaving water, with a distant sail breaking the blue here
and there, and n sea gull llnshing over n wave. The
breakers rolh-d In with deceptive noftness, and the roeks,
by name "Hen and Chickens," dreaded by yachtineit,
peeped their brown heaiN above the waters.

I'resently the steamer fired her guns and the pontes
started restlessly.

" \ ou have never U-en to Knglnnd ?" he asked, when he
hnd got the spirited nnimnU uncler control.

an got I
"No,'

" Should you like to go ?"

" I think so."

" I wonder if I dare ask you something I"

Her face tlushe<l. In spite of her clear head, in spite of
lier careful trairdng, >\\v was but a girl after all, and a girl
d(K's not hear a man ask her a (|uestion like thnt, in that
tone, unmoved. She looked away nnd did not answer.
At ll<nt moment a dog cart past them and the captain lifted
InH hnt to the Indy and gentleman in it.

" Nisbit, of the — th, nnd Mrs. Scott."

• • I don't think i'(>M wouhl ever Income the fashionahlei
frisky matron."

" \N'e know what we nre, but we do not know what we
may l>e," she ipioted, with her native audacity asserting
itself, in spite of the wish in her heart that she couUI dare
let herself love this man, that she was not the sole heiress
of a successful Wall-street sjwculator.

Capt. Travers reined in his ponies. " You can walk up
this hill," he snid nbruptly to his groom.

" Necessnry exils," he remnrked, as the horses went
slowly up the ascent.

His lips were set in a firm line ; his eyes were fixed on
her. " Marjorie, my darling, my own love, my pretty one,
will you marry me Y'

The low spoken words thrilled on the nir. For n single
moment her eyes clouiled, her pulse Iteat ijuickly. " Mnrry
hiui !" This six-looter. Ibis soldier with the lark eyes
and winning voice. "Marry him I" Her Utile fingers
closed themselves round the handle of her parasol ; but
only for a moment.

" I >o you mean that ?" she asked ouletty, in a constrained
undertone.

He looked at her. long practice had inaile hitn perfect
in the art, and no tinished cotpiette ever made more use of
the gifts nature endowed her with for mankind's destruction
than had Capt. Travers of his dark grey orbs during the
some ten or fifteen years he had served under t upid's flag
as well as the I'nion Jack.

"Do I mean it ? Oh I Marjorie I Can you doubt me,
dear ? (live me an answer ?" he asked alter a pause.
"Child !" fiercely grasping the little hand that lay in her
laji and almost crushing it in his own ; "if you knew how
I love you."

" Give me time," she faltered ; " give me until to-night."

She could not trust herself to trust or reason while he
was so near. " tjive me until to-night,"

" My love ! my love !" he breathed into her ear.

The groom got in nt the top of the hill, and they went
rapidly down the Lower Road to the Spring Gardens.

" Is not this Wednesday?" she asked in her usual tone.
" l.-t us go into the Tennis and get some tea."

He lifted her out at the lower gate of the tieautiful
gardens, ami they walked through them to the upi>er end,
where the Tennis Gbdt have their courts. Ibists of little
ones and their nurses ran and shouted about the shady
paths, and endless varieties of baby carriages trundled past.
The Kgyptinn geese in the ponds mingled their discordant
shriek with the " quack I ipiack !" of the chicks as they
missed or gobbled up the choice morsels fed them by the
youngsters. A fat and la/.y pony drew a roller slowly
across one ot the lawns. Workmen passed them in groups
homewards, swinging their dinner cans and thinking of
wife and supi>er. It wns n pretty picture of city life. As
they wnlked nlong in silence, Marjorie was curiously
conscious of every little detail — the light and shade of the
branches across the paths, the sickly baby with its white
face in the shabby carriage, the old lady leaning on the
young man's arm. Long afterwards she rememl)ered it all.
As they neare<l the tennis courts they could see the group
about the ten table, and figures flitting to nnd fro,

"Rother," exclaimed Marjorie; "they will nil be talking
about us now."

Travers stnrted. He had l)een in a dny dream ; wishing
vaguely he had never met Kuth ; thinking how he would
refit the old homestead ; thinking of the proud lady mother,
whose heart he had tried from his boyhood up. She cannot
but I»e satisfietl now, he thought, glancing at the girl's
dainty figure beside him, her graceful cnrringe, her well-
poised heail with its thoroughbred air. Truly, the gotis
had l>een goinl to throw this golden chance in his way.

" So they will," he returneii. " Well, I expect it is not
the first time."

She blushed. " People here talk about every thing,"
I she answered.

an tAi\ and impoverished family, the heir to a baronetcy,
with very bare acres .^ttaehed, expensive tastes and a weak
ness for the fair sex, that had led him into not a few scraiws,
he was not the favourite among men that he was generally
with women. His g.MMl looks and winning ways had iu>l
yet brought to him any maiden with a guiHlly dower in her

CHAI'TKk III.

The four whose life threads wvre so interwoven met at
the ball, Marjorie looking well in an ex(piisite toilet, her
Iwauliful little head carrieil, |»erhaps, a little m<ire haughtily
thanevi'r; Kuth's prettiness almost softened and improveit
by her slight pallor and the dark shade under her eyes.
L'npt. TraverH and Jack Hant<m greeted them with very
ilillerent feelings, and, as the brilliantly lighted roiuus (died
with a more brilliant throng, who would ^eek such things
as aching hearts underneath all this music and laughter.

(apt. Travers had ariauged his programme so that his
dances with Kuth came before those with his new lov*-.
" Iletter tell her and have it comfortably over lirst," thmigiit
this young man ; that Marjorie would dream of refusing him
never entered his Itcail. Why did the band play "Oiliebt
und Vorloreii," that saddest of all sad sweet wait/ music, as
her faithless lovei placed his arm round Kuth's slender
waist and they circled together to the wailing strains. Did
he regret, as her waiin breath fanned his neck, as he felt the

ave o( her white bust and a stiay perfumed curl brushed
Ills cheek in the turn of the tlance?

"Come ami sit out," he sniil almost roughly, pausing at
(he lower end of the room. It was early in tlie evening.
iVople h.iil not found out the many places provided for flir-
tation and the intercliauge of conlidential ideas yet. The
long row i>f decorated tents opening one into the other were
empty. There were plenty of seats in emiples snugly
ensconced Indiind banks of moss and fern an<l draix'd Hags.
To one tjf these he led her, and ihey sat down. A short
time ago, ahme like this, his arm wouhl have encircled her.
his kisses fallen on her lips. Now he did not touch her,
aiul she tlid not exix'ct it. .She felt instinctively a crisis had
come, and waited for him to speak with the curious feeling
that she was not herself, that it was some other tortured
creature's agotiy she was witnessing.

I le stooped and rearranged a group of fairy tights.
'* Kuth," he said uneasily, " you know- this nonsen<-e of
ours about time it was over."

The blood rushed to her bniin ; the expected blow hurt
not the less as it fell. The awful truth.of his utter liaseness,
of her wasted heart, lay in fire clear l)efore her. In the
half light her eyes gleamed large upon him.

" I wish she would not look at me like that," he thoughti
angrily. " She makes me nervous."

" Well," he went on awkwardly, "you see it so. It's
Ih-'cii a mistake, you know , but there's no harm done and
we'll t)e friends still."

A little moan was all the answer that came from her.

"If she'd only say something or cry," he thought.
'• Well, she's not going to make a fuss ; that's a comfort."

"You're a goiid girl," he went on, "and a sensible one
to<.."

A curtain at the end of the tent lifted, and two |)eopIe
entered unseen and unheard by the others, under the shelter
of a tall Japanese screen.

"You see," they heard Travers' voice say, "we never
could have married. N'our father hates the sight of me and
I have not got one penny to rub on another,"

du* Im.)x K'side the driver, "I might be of some

I. The horses bore them swiUiy through the sweet

night air. Inside Kuth leaned back
against (he cushi<ms, so still her
nu)ther thought she slept, Only the
roll .f the carriage broke the night
silence as they passed alternately
under the white glare of the electric
lights and into the deep shadow of
lite pines.

"Are you letter, dear?" asked
hei mother gently as they stopped
at Heeehwood tlour.

they helpetl her into the house.

When the carriage reached the
gales on its way back to the town
jack stopped it.

" I shall walk back," he said to the
man as he got down.'* I cannot go
back there," he felt, thinking with a
shudder of the lights and ruu^ic and
bright fares, and turning his feet
unwiUingly towards the house.

" My poor clarling, my sweet
girlie," he murmured, looking lon-
gingly up at the lighted windows.
"How you must have sullered."
His strong heart felt his powerless-
ness to help her as he stood there.
He would willingly have died for
her, and yet here he was helpless,
only able to pray and hope the yeais
might bring happier days to both.

Her mother had undressed Kuth
with loving hands and left her with
many soothing kisses to sleep. To
sleep ! Should she ever sleep again ?
racing up and down vaguely wond-
ering can thisln.- I ? A ghostly figure,
dimly reflected in the long glass. .A
desperate figure leaning against the
wall panting for breath. A tortured
figure face downwanU on the bed,
writhing under sorrow t<to much t«<
bear. The pretty room seemed to her
fevered imagination like a prison ;
the air in it choked her.

Mechanically she wrapped herstlf
in a Irnig cloak and himbled with
nervous fingers for the door. " I
cannot l>ear it," " I cannot iK-ar
it, " slie kept saying, creeping
doun the stairs. Stealthily, stealthily, along the half-
lighted hall, stealthily tlinnigh the shadowed rooms and out
into the night. ••To end all," she whispered, "end nil,"
l>(pwn the veranda, where so niany happy afternoons had
U'en laughed away, dead ilays, dead laughter, never to re-
turn. Out into the night. The gravel cut her little feet;
the grass gave cool kisses to their burning touch. A
bhuk tigiire in the starlight. Nothing in tree's shadow,
and a black figure in the I'ght. Again Jack caught sight
ol the moving form and followed it. Was it Kuth?
Who was it ? And he followed as she flitted p.ist path and
shrubbery <lown to the shore. As she stepped on the little
pier he recngni/ed her form clear against water and sky,
and started to run. Too late ! Swift as he was,
l«efore he reached the railings there was a splash
and mulfled cry. In a second he ha<l plungetl in
after her; in another he rose with Kuth in his arms.
The water was not deep, not more than ten or
twelve feet, and he sujiportcd her on his left arm,
while with the right liegraspeil the wooden support
of the wharf to pull himself up. Hut what was this
holding him back; with all his strength he could
not stir. What was it dragging him tiown, wind-
ing itselfwith iron grasp tigliler and tighter about
him. ( Hi ! tlod ! the eel grass ; the treacherous,
snake like giass that sends up its fronds giant
strong, and holding once a victim never lets
it go,

"Help ! help ! for tiod's sake help !"
A fishing schooner up for bait lay at anchor
m)t two hundred yards off. Mvery mast and spar
retlectcfl in the water and her tired crew in the
little cabin wrapjied in <leepest sleep.
"Help! Help! Help !"
Only the shriek of the nighl hawk wasthe reply.
"Help! Oh! Help!"

He could see the dark pile of the house above

him, with a bright light faint in one window, but

there came no response to his viruggles and cries.

more.

elingtng to the little wharf, where so many miiu-

face, he rememU'red it was the very place he
had first met her, amid a gay throng watching a

Above his head he could see the high water mark, fully
(wo feet above him.

" Help ! Help ! For the love of Heaven, help !"

Surely those cries would wake the dead.

Only the lap! lap! of the brackish water stealing up inch
by inch, and Irom the background hills the faint and dis-
lant echo of his voiee. Soaked through, his heavy uniform
hanging on him like leeches, the girl's weight numbing his
arm, how long, how long, could he hold against the strain-
ing power sucking at his lower lindis ? How hing ?

How long IkuI he Iteen iherf ? Hours, surely hours!
Was it his numbing sight, or the darkness lK.'lore the
coming day creeping down black and chill on land and
sea? To his shoulder, nearly to his neck, the creeping
water came.

•'Oh! the I'Jiglish home! The mother, the rosy-face
sisters. ( )h ! ( hiist have mercy on all tmr sins.

Hark ! What was that -that .iilvancing, rumbling
siiiind ? Wheels, surely wheels I Tom and Slarjorie re
turning from the ball.

His cry rang out with the desperation of despair.
'•Help! Help I Help!" and from the hills liehind came
"Help! Helpl Help I"

"What was that ?" asked Marjorie, stepping out of the
carriage,

"Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help!"

'* Some one in the Arm !" saiil Tom and the coachman
together.

" Shout !"

"Hi! Hi!"

" Help I Help !" and fainter, •' T-o-m I"

They started to run, shouting as they went to the shove,
" T-o-m !" called Jack, faintly, as his voice and a '•pla-h
guided them.

After days of anxiety and despair the pitying doct<)r'' told
Ruth's mother she might live. As for Jack Hanton, whtii
they got him out o| the water there was a dark bruise (-n his
temple and a little stain of blood. He had struck agaiii<-i
a jutting stone as he and his helpless bunlen sank into the
water.

There is in the military burying groun<l of l-'ort Massey

When Ruth was able to travel, the shattered wreck of
the old bright Kuth, her sorrowing parents took her to the
south of France, Marjorie and her mother going with them,
A diflerent Marjorie too, not so sarcastic at home, hut a
trifle harder outside, and men find her difi'icult to get on
with. She seems to have no sympathy with their little
weaknesses, and says she will never marry, i>ut "never" is
a long time. Her uncle and aunt adore her, for she has
been their right hand iln-iugh their trouble.

As for (.apt. Travers, his itrotlier olTicers showed him
pretty plainly their opinion of him when the story leaked
out, and he found it ctmvenient to exchange to another sta-
tion, Kven there he does not find the service as pleasant lo
him as it useil to be, for in the small, ever-changing circle
of army life unpleasant stories follow a man from garrison
to garrison.

RARE ATTRACTIONS FOR THE TOURIST AND SPORTSMAN.

ffY ITKN'riUN is (liri'i'ttil to the rcsourcfs of tlit- I'ro-
^1^ vince of Nova Scolia, which ulTcrs a very attractive
^^^ \\cU\ f<tr tl»f t'lnpluymi-nt of tajiilal, cnltrpiisf nin!

for thfir pr(Hha'livfne>s. l.unilK.'riin: operations arc
successfully carried on. Ihe mineral resource^; are
far lM.*yoiul those of any other country of the same
area. Sonu- of the Wi^l farm land in America is
in Nova Scotia, l-'ruit is widely grown, and the
apples of the Annapolis ard t'ornwallis valleys are among
the finest in the world. There is vast water jiower that can
l»e iitihzed for manufacturing; purposes. The climate is ex-
cellent, and particularly nttraciive in summer and autumn to
the thousands in the I'nited States who wish to escape the
heat in their cities. There are scores of places specially
adajited for summer resorts. The many tourists who visit
the Province, (luring the summer, iimi that they can oluain
all the comforts they desire at a cost far Indow that of the
popular fashionable resorts in the L idled States. Sports-
men wiM lind aniple means of enjoyment with rod and
gun in the season. Tlie scenery of (lie I'rovince is varied
and l>eautiful.

Particular attention ot capitalists is invite<l to the mineral
resources of the country.

THE MINERAL RESOURCES OF NOVA SCOTIA.

Placed at the mouth of the St. i-nwrence, and overhang-
ing the eastern coast of America, its position marks Nova
Scotia out as a halting-place in the highways of the sea, and
its numerous and deep harbors permit the approach of ves-
seh to within a few nules of every locality yielding mineral
or agricultural weidth. The natural position of Nova
Scotia indicates th, l she slu)uld he the wc-'^kshop of a large
part of the American continent ; that here, more prolJtahly
than in most places, should sugar he rehneil, cotton l>e spun,
and iron ores )>e smelted and worked into the thousand arti-
cles needed by the contiactor, the manufacturer, and the
farmer. Here alone in the Uiuninion of Canada are foumi in
juxtaposition — coal, iron, fluxes, gold, etc., a boon con-
ferred by nature on very few countries.

THE COAL FIELDS OF NOVA SCOTIA.

The hrst to be notiied is the SviiNKV Lkai. Kikid, on
the east shore of cape Hreton. It contains ten coal
seams, from 3 to 12 leet in thickness, t>esides numerous
smaller K-ds. The coals are highly bituminous and coking.
Many of the seams yield coals well adapted for ga> making,
and, as appears from numerous certificates, aInio>t equal to
Welsh steam coal. Several of the seams enjoy an envialile
reputation as gotnl domestic coals.

(-'(■al is also found at l.och I.omontl, River Inhabitants,
Port Mood, Mabou and other points in tape Hrcton, hut lit-
tle attention has yet been paid u* these localities.

TliK PicToli loAl. 1-iKi.l) is noted for the unusual de-
velopment of some of the l>eds. There are lb seams known,
from 3 to 34 feet in thickness. The coal has its chief repu-
tation as a good strong steam I'oal, adapted for use under
all forms of i)oilers.

TheCi MHKRI-ANiifiiAl. KiKi.ii is large and being rapid-
ly developed. It contains numerous coal seams, similar in
character to those of the Pictou district, and is largely used
for steam and domestic purpose.

Coal is met at several points in I'olchester County, but
little is known about it.

During the year ISS8 there were 1,776,128 tons raised.
This gave empT'ynient to 2,(jSo men and 586 boys uniler-
ground, and to 1,144 "'*■''• 'Ttd ifio boys above \;round.
The number of days' woik performed was 8;(},6iS, an<I 355
horses were employed.

THE GOLD FIELDS OF NOVA SCOTIA.

'The Atlantic shore from (.'anso to \ iMnn»utli is occupied
by the auriferous strata. 'The width of the district varies
from 10 to 40 miles, anil its area is estmiated at 6,000
square miles.

The Nova Scotia gold is derived entirely from veinworking.

The workcvl veins vary in thickness from 2 to 60 inches,
and are found I>edded in (|uart/ite and clay slate.

The gold occurs in these veins principally in the shape
known to miners as ** coarse" gold, and is in nests and strings
ot every shape and size.

The quartz is treated in this Province in stamp mills only,
tlriven by water or steam power.

As yet " alluvial" gohl has not figured to any extent in
our returns.

The (lovernment issues Prospecting Licenses, good for
one year. The holiU-r can convert these licenses to search
into leases, at the rate of $2.00 for an area of 250 by 150
feet.

The total output since the year i8()2 is estimated at 456,-
I(>1 ounces. During the year 18S8, there were 163,772
days' labor expended in and about the mines, proilucing and
milling 36,178 ions of quart/., which yielded 22,407 i)unces
of golil, an average yield per man per day for 12 months of
$2.46.

From the above it will lie seen that the busmess,
although small, pays well. The immense extent of avail
able territory ami the favoring conditions of a healthy cli-
mate and mmlerately priced labor, point out the Nova
Scotia gold fiehls as a promising teriitory for the legitimate
exercise of the miner\ art.

THE IRON ORES OF NOVA SCOTIA.

'There can l»e little doubt that in the near future the
smelling of our varie<l stores of iron ores will prove a most
important industry in this province.

licginning at the western end <»f the Province, we have a
range of ferriferous strata, exteiuling from Windsor to
Digby.

Itetween W imlsor and I ruro there are minierous deposits
of iron ore.

'The only locality at which iron is smelted in Nova Scotia
is Londonderry. Here an immense vt'in of Ankerite, 30 to
150 feet wide, hohling brown hematite, extends for many
nules, and has br-en worked for a number td years.

The pig and bar iron made here is of excellent quality,
ami finds a ready market.

In Pictou lounty workable deposits of clay ironstone,
hematite, limonitc, specular ami spathic ore are found in the
district extending from Arisaig to ( ilengarry on the Inter-
colonial railway.

Some of these deposits are of unusual size, and favorably
situate<l, as the Watson ore bed, 15 feet thick, within three
miles of the Pictou coal tield.

The following analyses will show their character : —

In (iuysboro' County several valuable deposits of specu-

In tape Itrelnn, valuable deposits of Urown Hematite
and Magnetite are found near Lake Ainslie and Whycoco-
inagh and Kast Hay. ' Spaihic ore occurs un lloulanlerie.

COPPER.

This ore is found in this Province in rocks of every age.

The trap associated with the Trias of the Itay of Fundy
yields native copper at many points.

Deposits are frequently met in the L'p|»er and Lower
t oal Measures of (_uml>erland, Colchester, and Pictou
(ounlies.

At l.ochalmr and Poison's Lake, in .\ntigonish Lounty,
s<mie valuable deposits <»f ore have U-en proved.

At loxheath, m (.ape iSreton, a vigorous development Is
being made of a fleposii carrying yell.ow and purple ores.

A line of railway has l)een located, ami the light of way
arranged for from the mine to a lo.iding and smelling
ground on Sydney Harbor, ab'Mil d miles fnun the mine.
'I'he work has so far beui conhm-d lo several vt-ry promising
veins t»eiiig worked on the "Coxheaih" Lease.

(iabarus, St. Ann's, and Chelicamji, may U- menlionetl
among numerous otlur points in t ape lireton, where proinis
ing imiicalions of deposits of this metal are fouiid-

LEAD AND SILVER.

'The ore of lead moM frequernly met here is galena, gen-
erally carrying silver.

At tiay's River and Pembroke, the ore is met dissemina-
ted in limestones, in quantities which have warranted a

good deal of exploration. At Sndlhtield, in (he same di<-
trict, still larger deposits are mel, ami preparations are hr
ing made to work them.

MANGANESE.

'This ore is frequently found in Hants County, the mine-
(»f J. W. Stephens, l!sq., having produced considerable
quantities of very hue high gr:ule ore.

Small lots of ore have also U-en mined in Colclicsttr
lounty. Kxlensive deposits of the ore are touiul at Loch
Lomond, in lape lireton, of goixl grade nid readilv acces
sible.

GYPSUM, OR PLASTER OF PARIS.

'This mineral is found in Nova Scotia in immense quanii
ties as sofl and as hard gypsuni. It occurs in K-ds frequeni
ly loo feet in thickness. It is exposed lo view in lin^
Couniies of Kings, Hants, Colehesier, Cundwrland and An
ligonish, and at numerous points on the Hras I >'( >r Lake ot
Cape Hrelon.

The chief quarries are in the vicinity of Windsor, which
maintain an annual exportation of about 100,000 tons tu
the I'nited States.

PAINTS.

\'arit>us lieds of ochre and umUr are work
small fxlent for local use, and yield shades of red, pu

ed to .1 Ij
rple.etc. 1

BARVTES.
'This mineral is found at numeious points in the Province,
and is confined to no particular geological horizon. 1 lie
Messis. Henderson i^-^ Potts have a mine at (Jay's Rivii,
from which they took !,ooo t<uis in 188S.

STONES FOR BUILDING.

'The building stones of Nova Seotia are chiefly samlstniu-
and granite. The various grades of the former are supplied
almost entirely from ( undn'rland County, at Wallace, Jog
gins, Mimidie, Kivt-r Philip, etc.; in Pictou lounty, al
Kiver jtjlin, the Pictou Rivers and Meiigomish.

l>n the Hasin of Miuas various localities in Kings and
Hants Counties yiehl materials adapted for building pm
poses.

There are numerous localities yielding syenites and
porphyries, which are apparently suitable for buihling
and t)rnamental purposes, although I am not aware of any
practical tests. Among these localities may Ite named the
Cobequid Mountains (Nova Scotia ])r<q>er), and St. Ann's
ami Itoisdale in Cape Preton.

(tranite occurs along the .Atlantic shore in every variety
of texture, etc. Shellmrne, (^)ueens and Halifax Counties
have yielde<i |ian<lsome varieties, utilized to some extent in
Halifax.

The lower carlxmiferous limesttmes have hitherto been iisnl
for little l)eyond lime burning, but they merit more atteniiun
for building purposes than they have hitherto received. M
some points in (ape Prelon, limestones are met metamoi
phosed into marble, as at West and Kast Hays, (leorge's
River,

Flags, slates and clay^ are abundant .ind worked for local
use.

.\mong other minerals may Ih; mentioned Antimony (ol
which several hundred tons are annually ndned). Salt
Springs, (Jraphite, Infusorial Karlh, tirindstunes, Fireclay,
etc.

The following table will serve to show approximately ihe
amounts and <|uarrv values of sonic of the minerals mine'i
in IS8S:
