I IK CiRAND is a new brick am) freestone hotel of the first class, built in 1.S93-94, and first opened to the public July 2, 1894. The
liuuse was built and furnished with special reference to the demands of modern tourist and business travel, and will be found to
be a model of (|ui'.'t comfort, eleg<Tnce and convenience. It is heated by the hot-water system and open grates, and lighted by
the incau<lescent electric light. Tht re are ii number of very pleasantly situated s\iites of rooms, with p'-ivate parlor, hall and
bal.. connecting, that woukl afford luxurious accommodation t'i small family parties. The house in situated on Main Street,
opposite the Park, and commands from the windows and roof an unsurpassed view of the town, the harbor, the Milton Lakes
and the Hay of Fundy.

The Cuisine is under the charge nf an experienced and accomplished
Chef, and the Menus pro\ ided by him are not surpassed, either in variety or
cpiality, in the best hotels in the Dominion. The dining-room is large, airy,
and e.xceedingly pleasant and the table service excellent. This last feature
has received the highest praise from the guests of the house.

!• you've never visited Nova Scotia, you have certainly missed much. A
i.ind jusi :i night's ride away from Boston — a foreign country, if you
please — and yet such a change from the hot, dusty and uncomfortable
surroundinKs in the States. A few weeks siiftice to huild up the worn-out sys-
tem and put more life and enthusiasm into che human frame than a score of
physicians. The expense is nominal. It costs no more to go to Nova Scotia
than to Maine; it's a nice, pleasant outing, once taken, oft repeated.

The Dominion Atlantic Railway stean.irs are the finest passenger ships
•eaving Boston. .Modern in construction, large staterooms, wide promenade
deck, grand saloon, and cozy smoking room, they are floating hotels, models of
comfort and convenience, making the .'27 miles with the regularity of a railway
train, with no dust, no noise, uo confusion, until as you sit on deck and watch the disappearing shores, you wonder if you really
are on the ocean, or is it all a dream I'he dining-room service is excellent, the staterooms are models of neatness, and from tht
moment one comes under the care of the Domin on Atlantic Railway, one feels
at home, and that restful spirit of content surrou ids him — and the vacation
has commenced.

travelers arriving in Boston at either station will find electric cars at the
door, marked " Depots and Ferries," which will take them direct to the wharf
of the Dominion Atlantic Railway, at the foot of State Street, where agents of
the tompany will attend to their luggage and see them safely aboard the boat.
'I'he sailing hour is four o'clock in the afternoon, and promptly on time the
magnificent niieteen-knot, twin-screw steamer swings out into the h.irbor and
commences its journey to the " F-and of Evangeline."

The harbor passed, the dinner over, the "constitutional " taken, we seek
our berths with the resolution to wake early that we may catch the first glimpse
of Nova Scotia and see a sunrise at sea.

J^ Nova Scotia, where the elegant steamers of the Dominion Atlantic l,ine, a er a delightful fifteen hours' run at sea. pass
Yarmouth Light and proceed onward through the narrow channel of the harbor to Yarmouth, which lies ahead in plain
view, on a hillside and hacked by a curinin of Natures green. The town itself is inferesting, being the principal port of the
western counties and the largest town in the province west of Halifax population, about 7.000. Here yoi begin to notice some
of those peculiarities of the Hay of Kundy country.-the extremes in the rise and fall of the tide. While not as pronounced here
as at points farther up the coast, yet the fall is about thirty feet, and the departing waters leave great mud banks, bringing into
strong relief the winding of the ship channel leading to the town. The steamer docks right at the Dominion Atlantic Railway
.Station, where two speedy and well-equippod trains await the traveler who elects to continue his journey farther east. -one the
celebrated " Flying Hluennse." making a rapid run to the capital city, reaching there in the middle of the afternoon. The second
train, the " Imperial Purple." is a local, making all stops and reaching Halifax early in the evening. But as we are not going on
the train to-day, we will go ashore and have our lug}r.ge examined before taking the carriage up to tht hotel, from w lence we can
view the town at our leisure. The (Irand Hotel, a few blocks away, but in plain sight from the steamers dock, offers the best
accommodation for the stranger, being on high ground, affording a fine view of the harbor and surroundings, and of modern

While Yarmouth is under the H.ltish Hag. yet there seems sc much Americanism in its general style and nanrer one can
hardly realize that he is ii. anothc imtry han the United States. Its citizens are hospitable in the e-xtre.ne and every courtesy
.s shown to visitors, a feature wh .n itst'f has made the town a reputation much to be envied.

snould they .> They have demonstrated that in order to really enjoy life
one must take things easy. And if we would only profit by such an
example we would live longer, to say the l<sast.

In earlier years Yarmouth was a great shipping port, but with the
incoming of steam vessels the ship-building declined, and with it the e .
port values. It is the home of many noted sea captains.

The climate commends itself agreeably. It is always cool and pleas-
ant. The thermometer rarely goes above 70" even in August, a striking
contrast to sweltering Boston, only 200 miles away.

Population, 33,js6. (1891)

' Che earrison City."

AMFAX was founded, in 1749, by P'.nglish colonists under the leadership of Colonel
P'.dward Cornwallis. Previous to the settlement, the harbor had only been visited
by a few storm-stayed fishing si neks. In 1746 the Due d'Anville's shattered and
fever-stricken armada had sought shelter there, and the broken-hearted commander died,
some say of poison; and his successor shortly after committed suicide. When Cornwallis
arrived, the skeletons of some of d'Anville's men were found beneath the trees, while
thousands lay buried in trenches near the shore. For some time the Indians were a
constant source of anxiety to the ii'habitants, and they murdered several who straggled
outside the pickets of the town.

Dartmouth, on the opposite aide of the harbor, was attacked by night by Micmacs,
under the direction of French Acadians, and a number of the settlerj were killed and
scalped. This hostility had much to do with retarding the growth of the town. To
aid in defending the settlement, a blockhouse was erected on a commanding eminence now known as Citadel Hill, and others
were built in various advantageous positions. The modern fortifications which surround the town are evidences of the great
importance of the position as a naval and military station.

St. Paul's church, commenced in 1749, is probably the oldest building in Halifax, and its history is most interesting. The
quaint Dutch church was built about six years later as a place of worship for the German settlers who resided in the northern
suburbs. The legislative building, erected in the early years of the present century, was once considered the finest building in
America. At the close of the American Revolutionary war, the population of Halifax was greatly increased by loyalists from the
United States, and we find many New F^ngland names represented among the citizens of to-day. Old St. Paul's cemetery and
the church records afford rich stores of information for American genealogists.

the rear, and on the east the rippling waves of the best seaport in the world wash against the wharves of Halifax.

To the north of the city is Fort Needhrm, still showing in its grass-grown mounds the abandoned earthworks once thrown up
to defend the early settlers agains' either French or Indian invader. On the south, in contrast to this fort of the past, is Point
Pleasant, with two batteries of to-day and manned by the Royal Artillery. Down the harbor's sides and on George's and McNab's
islands are a half dozen other strong fortifications.

Halifax is easy of access. It can be reached from Boston in twenty-four hours, from New York in thirty hou-s, from St. John
in eight hours, from Montreal in twenty-four houis, and from Toronto in thirty-four hours. It is midway between Cape Breton's
charming lakes and frowning mountains on the east and the Land of Evangeline and Nova Scotia's beautiful South Shore to the
west. By finely equipped railroads the traveler may go east, north or west. Easterly, aiso, he may take passage by steamers,
and in that direction, too, taste the pleasure of Atlartic voyaging while feasting the eye on the rugged beauty of Nova Scotia's
deeply indented coasts. Loveliness and novelty will greet him at every turn.

Halifax is the seat of government in Nova Scotia. Here the legislature makes laws in provincial affairs, and here the courts
administer laws federal and provincial. Here the lieutenant-governor resides.
Here the general officer commanding the British forces in North America has his
headquarters, and here are stationed the imperial troops. Here in summer rendez-
vous the splendid fleet of British warships commanded by Admiral Sir John Fisher.

Such is Halifax in location and environment. Her summer days are balmy,
bright and breezy — every hot hour empered by refreshing ocean winds, every
night cool enough to make a blanket a source of pleasure to the wayfarer courting
Nature's sweet restorer.

If one were asked to name the fairest spot of land less than seventeen acres
in extent to be found in North America, it would undoubtedly be the Public
Gardens of Halifax. And his choice would be based, not only on the present
glory of this pleasure resort, but because that nowhere else could he find such a
sma'i portion of Mother Earth which so beautifully shows what Nature and the
highest in human nature can together achieve. Thirty years ago these acres that thk beaitihl northwest arm, haukax.

leased by the city to a company for the purpose of raising vegetables. Happily the venture proved a failure, and on resuming
possession of the land the city wisely decided to convert it into pleasure gardens for the people. The gardens contain two or

three shrubs placed there at the suggestion of Henry Ward Beecher, who complimented Superintendent Power on the excellent
taste and beauty of the whole. Among royal visitors who have been loud in their praises of this enchanted spot were the Duke
of York, the late Duke of Clarence, H. R. H. Princess Louise and the Marquis of Lome. A splendid fountain was unveiled by
the Countess of Aberdeen during Jubilee week in J>'ne, 1897. In this idyllic spot, amid a loveliness of Nature tftat is indescrib-
able, there are not only a "million beauties for the eye," but also "music ror the ear," the blending of the choicest military music
with the murmur of falling waters. And to make the paradise complete there is the softer music of tender human voices that
whisper the old, old story while, like Evangeline and her lover, they behold "the moon rise over the pallid sea."

To the summer tourist who travels with or on his bicycle, Halifax and its vicinity offer many attractions. The streets, with
the exception of the one on the water front, which is paved with blocks of stone, are macadamized, dry up quickly after rain and
make an excellent surface to ride upon. The favorite resort for bicyclists in the neighborhood of the city is Point Pleasant Park,
with an area of about two hundred acres, and containing about ten miles of first-class macadamized roads. One side of the park
is bounded by the city, one by the waters of the harbor, and the third by those of the Northwest Arm, a lovely sheet of salt water
lying behind Halifax. From Point Pleasant a view of unusual extent and beauty is obtained, and exquisite glimpses of the harbor
and Arm are met with at almost every turn. The ride around the "Dutch Village" skirts the Arm for nearly a mile, passes
through the village, a pretty suburb, and brings one home by way of Bedford Basin, an extension of the harbor, northerly, and the
harbor itself in about an hour's easy riding; total distance about eight miles. At this point is the old residence of <i. R. H. the
Duke of Kent, father of Queen Victoria. For a number of years, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, he was stationed
here as commander of the forces. His summer residence was a most imposing and beautiful one, and there he lived in semi-regal
state. The winding paths of this once magnificent estate can yet be traced among the tre< ", and the old band house remains
until this day. The run to Bedford, at the head of the Basin, about nine miles, is of great beauty. The road skirts the water all
the way, and new beauties reveal themselves on every side. The cyclist may return by the other side of the Basin to Dartmouth
and cross the harbor to Halifax by ferry; the road lies further away 'rom the water and is not so good. An interesting variation
is afforded by riding from Bedford to Waverley, about five miles, over a fair road through the woods, and continumg by the shores
of four beautiful lakes to Dartmouth, a run of abouc twenty-five miles in all. Other interesting runs are to C:ow Bay, about eight
miles from Dartmouth, where there is a magnificent sand beach, and to the head of St. Margaret's Bay, about twenty-one miles to

officers and about fifteen hundred of all ranks. Halifax is the headquarters of the Ninth Dist-
rict, one of the twelve district commands of the active militia of the Dominion. The force
consists of a regiment of Garrison Artillery, a battalion of RiHes and one of Fusiliers, in all
eighty-six officers and one thouyand two hundred and forty men. There are six bands of mili-
tary music in connection with the regulars and the militia, the regimental band of the regulars
of course being of acknowledged superiority and an excellent model for the other organizations
to profit by. The military mantt-uvres, sham fights and reviews at Halifax are well worth seeing
and add materially to the enjoyment of visitors.

Halifax Harbor, proper, opens from Chebucto Bay and thence to the Narrows, about six
and a half miles. It is narrowed at Point Pleasant to a half mile in width and then gradually
increases to one and a quarter milej until at the entrance to Bedford Basin, where it decreases
to about a quarter of a mile in width. Sheltered as it is by McNab's and George's islands, the harbor affords at all times a per-
fectly safe anchorage for vessels in from eight to twelve fathoms of water. On its western shore is located the finest dry dock in
America, which has a capacity sufficient to accommodate the largest ship of Her Majesty's navy.

Point Pleasant divides the harbor proper from the Northwest Arm, a body of water two and a half miles in length and from a
quarter to three quarters of a mile in width, along the banks of which one finds the most beautiful scenery that can be imagined.
The hills adjoining the Northwest Arm are surmounted by fine residences, the owners of which take great delight during the
summer months in boating, bathing and fishing; the fac.hties for such sport being unequalled elsewhere in Bntish North America
Above Point Pleasant, on the eastern side, Halifax Harbor is divided by George's Island, a perfect emerald gem in its setting.
This island is strongly fortified, and only those who have a permit from the Imperial (Jovernment are allowed upon its shores.

The appearance of Halifax Harbor, more especially when Her Majesty's fleet is in port, is an animated one. Halifax has
long been celebrated for its yachting and boating advantages, the gradual rise and fall of the tide, and the prevailing southwest
winds in summer, making it safe for even a novice to navigate about with but little prospect of a mishap. Bedford Basin is
an ideal spot for both rowing and yachting. It has several good hotels along its shores, which, during the summer season, are

ON SKCIIM) LAKE.

MIAl) Of LAKES, SHOWINI^ ISLANDS.

Persons who have spfnt n lifetime in Dart-
mouth are often ignorant of its beauties. To
see all takes time, but there are several points
easily and quickly reached, among which is the
Park, the pride of the town, from which may be
seen the broad expanse of ocean, and beautiful
harbor and city panoramic views. Beyond the town a short distance are the famous
Dartmouth Lakes, a chain of remarkable beauty, the shores of which are dotted with
summer cottages. A drive around the lakes is most delightful, and carriages may
be bad at a moderate pi ice for the trip. Another grand drive is to Cow Bay, about
nine miles, where there is a fine bathing beach. Other drives include Waverley, a
gold mining town, Montague Mines, Bedford Basin, Preston Road, etc. A longer
drive is to Lawrencetown. about 20 miles to the eastward. A comfortable hotel pro-
vides for the traveler, and the bird shooting in season is e.xcellert.

The Provincial Insane Asylum is located at Dartmouth, on the harbor shore.
The ferryboats leave for Halifax every fifteen minutes Fare, four cents.

Teams may be hirsd in Dartmouth cheaper than in Halifax.

DAK r.MOl'TH'S close proximity to Halifax, with which it is connected bj
ferry, and the many beautiful spots in and about the town, make it a
most desirable residential place, and many of the bu.siness and profes-
sional men of Halifax make the town their home. With a water front of four

miles and a railroad along
its shores the entire distance
it offers unusual advantages
for shipping, sharing wUh
Halifax the great importance
of being possessed of one of
the finest anu safes: harbors
in the world.

Dartmouth is the second
largest town in the province
and is the home of several
manufacturing plants.

|NLV a short rail ride, ifter leaving the steamer at Varmouth, and
we are at Weymouth, ont- of the most picturesque spots imagina-
ble. The town lies on the sloping green hills with the beautiful
Sissiboo River at its feet. The laughing and jolly crowds of vacationists
that meet the trains every morning would surely indicate that Weymouth
had the power of attraction, even if you had not noticed its exceptional
beauty of location and environment .is you crossed over the long railway
bridge before reaching the town. It is a great resort for the young folks
from the States because of the amusements offered there in the way of
boating, bathing, fishing, band concerts and a thousand and one other of
items which go to niake a summer vacation pleasant. The SLssiboo is
a navigable river, and some large vessels are engaged in handling the

commerce of the town. St. Mary's Hay is only two miles away and

is daily visited by picnic parties. Weymouth boasts nl her cherries

and certainly she has them in abundance as well as all the other

early fruits both wild and " tame." An air of real sociability per-
vades every one and you can enjoy every minute of the time spent

there. The (Joodwin House furnishes excellent accommodations at

moderate rates. The Weymouth House has a large lawn and

shade trees, hammocks, and is always well patronized. If you have

a wheel, bring it along; there are plenty of opportunities to use it.

A VISIT to Nova Scotin without a stop iu Digly would be to deprive yourself ot much real enjoyment. (Jo up on that hill
by the nulroad station and take in the view, It is magnificent 1 just below you is the \ mg railway p'-r and out at the
end lies the har.vlsome side-wheel steamer " Prince Rupert," juat in from St. johr., and waiting fc the connecting trains
from the east. She has made the forty mile trip in a little over two hour.s. and only awaits her passengers to make the return t.ip.
Off to the west is the Hear River country, with its grand wcodeu hills and fertile valleys. Directly before you is the Annapolis
Hasin, a beautiful thirty mile stretch of s Jt v>. 'er almost entirely surrounded by hills, and just where th.- two ranges of hills almost
meet, is Digby (Jut (or (Japi. through which nr..ow passagr the vessels pass in ^nd OMt. To the right is the to^n of Digbv and
Its neat and cozy houses are outlined against the dark green lawns and fields along the s.'iores of the Basin for a mile or more.
Bear IsHnd, just beyond, is the summer home of several .Americana. .Ml about the Hasi.i are sailing and fishing parties, their
merry laugh and songs lending an added enchantment t, . an already er.trancing vision of one of Nature's unapproachable creations.

^:ince Digby was visited by a disastrous fire, about t vo years ago, there have been numerous modern buildings erected .nthe
old sites, which adds mati.ially to the general beauty of me town. The
hotel accommodaiicns are excellent, not less than seven hotels catering
to th'i tourist trade. .Among these i lay be mentioned The Manhattan, a
new and modern hotel of more th.-.n ordinary notice, the Dufferin and
The Columbia, two houses under one management, and the Myrtle.
There are also a number of private houses which accommodate visitors to
the town, and every ,.ffort is made to entertain their guests and make
their stay a pleasant one. Digby has a great adv-.ntage over the inland
towns; the breezes from the Bay of I'undy cool the summer air, the Hasin
alTords exceptional opportunities for safe boating and Oiher water sports,
and the lover of the wheel will find new beauties in every winding road
and from every commanding hill. The town of Hear River, a few miles
to the west and situated on a river of the same name, is surrounded by
the most delightful scenic country and is veil worth visiting.

If you can't see all of Nova Scotia don't fai. to visit Digby.

cater to the wants of the public. Don't miss the early fruit season!
About the last of June the native strawberries are ripe, and then come
in quick succession cherries, raspberries and blackberries. They are
plentiful, delicious - and cheap. Vou can pick them yourselves if
you like ; they grow in the fields and no one forbids >our quest.

There are beautiful drives all about Annapolis in any direction.
The roads are smooth and hard and in most instances well shaded. A
bicycle is very handy to have heic .is no better country roads can be
found in the province than along the Annapolis Valley.

An effort is being made to establish a smelting works here with

BEIN(i the oldest town (except St. Augustine) on the American
Continent, Annapolis is entitled to great veneration, but while
examining the historical features of the town — the old French
Fort with its still remaining barracks and sally-port, the subterranean
passages, the old powder magazine, and other evidences of antiquity,
do not think that all Annapolis is necessarily ancient. It is a modern
summer resort town, and m location has no superior. Here before
you stretches away to the hills of Digby the most beautiful sheet of
salt water in Nova Scotia, the Annapolis Basin, almost encircled by
land, leaving only a gateway, known as Digby Gut, for the passage of
ships. And such a panoramic view ! One could sit for hours on the

middletoti.

THIS pretty little town, 28 miles from Annapolis, on the Dominion Atlantic Railway, is also the northern terminus of the
Central Railway of Nova Scotia. It has about 800 population, and possesses advantages, commercial and climatic, which
should make it both a manufacturing center and a summer resort. Situated in the center of the Annapolis Valley, the
garden spot of the province, protected by high hills from the fogs of the liay of Fundy, only a few miles away ; at the junction of
two small rivers furnishing grand sport for the fisherman who delights in salmon and trout; near the moose-hunting country in
the Nictaux Valley; with good roads, fine spring water, excellent beaches within a short distance, and every natural advantage,
there is no reason why Middleton should not appeal to both business men and tourists. The hotel accommodations are fai., three
hotels catering to the public at moderate rates. The VVilmot Medicinal Springs, two miles from Middleton, attracts many visitors.
A sanitarium has been erected there and is
equipped with bath houses for hot or cold
water, and many atiHicted ones have been re-
juvenated by the treatment.

The apple orchards about Miudleton pro-
duce some of the finest export fruit, which is
in great demand in England and the States.

South of the town are immense deposits of
iron ore and their development will add to
its commercial importance.

Good bicycle paths are maintained to the
north and south. The streets are wide anci
well shaded. The temperature during the
day in sumnr:!r is quite war.n, but at night the
breeze from the Bay of Fundy makes blankets
a necessity. I'ort (Jeorge and Margaretville,
on the Hay, are easily reached by carriage.
Hoth have good bathing beaches, and barges
carry parties there and return for fifty cents.

THE Central Railway of Nova Scotia crosses the Province from the Atlantic to the Bay of
Fundy in an almost direct north and south line from Lunenburg to Middleton, a distance
of 74 miles. The country through which it passes is rich in lumber and minerals, and
abounds in beautiful lakes and rapid running streams. It reaches the finest hunting section in
the province, bear, moose, caribou, and smaller game being numerous. Trout and salmon are
plentiful in season all through the waters along the line. Hridgewater is the first town of any
size after leaving Middleton. It has about 2,000 population, and is situated at the head of navi-
gation on the LaHave River, "the Rhine of Nova Scotia." The town was partially destroyed
by fire January 12, 1899, but has been rebuilt in a substantial manner. A park is projected for

natural beauty of the town. A fine hotel, "The Fairview," at the top of the hill back of the main street, is conducted by F. W.
Clark, who in his eight years' management has made a host of friends. The hotel is always well filled winter and summer.

Excursion steamers take visitors down the river, touching at Dublin, "The Ovens" (a series of caves), celebrated not only
for their peculiar geological formation but on account of placer deposits of gold, and on to the ucaches at the mouth of the river.

Lunenburg, the county seat, has about 4,000 population. It is the southern terminus of the Central road
and does a lumber and fish shipping trade. From the summit of the hill back of the town a fine view may be
obtained cT the harbor and ocean. The counties of Lunenburg and Queens are rich in deposits of gold, and
the Central Railway the mines at Brookfield, Molega, Caledonia, 15lockhouse, Pleasant River and Chester
Basin are reached, besides other districts which are being developed.

Chester, " the Saratoga of Nova Scotia," is the finest vacation point on the south toast. It was settled
by New Englanders and retains their characteristics. The harbor is dotted with islands, and the effect of the
alternating land and water is entrancing. The climate is exhilarating, and the facilities for bathing, boating,
and fishing are unexcelled. Halifax, Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore annually send their
quota of visitors to this charming resort, and the Nova Scotia Yacht Club makes frequent runs there.

Chester has two good hotels, but larger accommodations are needed there. The most satisfactory way
to go is by the Dominion Atlantic Railway steamers from Boston, and then by train to Mahone, on the
Central Railway, where connection is made for Chester.

OF late years Wolfville has been the summer home of many Ameri-
can families who were attracted by the exceptional beauty of the
town itself, and also by the country which surrounds it. It is an
educational town, the Acadia College being located there, as well as sev-
eral other institutions of learning. The College buildings are pure white
and show to great advantage from their elevated location. Th^ Minas
Basin is close to the town and the land owners have found it necessary to
build dikes, similar to those of Holland, in order to protect their crops,
the tides being from thirty-five to forty-five feet. Vou can always find
water enough for boating. The town itself is scattered over several little

hills and val-

leys of its own

which gives it

a wonderfully picturesque appearance, the houses being for the most part
painted white and contrasting beautifully with the heavy foliage. People
come to Wolfville to rest and recuperate. There is little of the bustle and
hurry of larger places, but there is a resident class of people of liternry tastes
who attract similar minds f'-om other places. Wolfville is provided with
exceptionally good hotels. The Acadia Seminary Hotel is a large ?.nd well
located house and is admirably conducted. There are beautiful drives in
any direction and plenty of opportunities for social amusement. Hlomidon,
celebrated for its beauty, is within plain sight of Wolfville and Evangeline's
Well, at Grand Pre attracts many visitors. The X in the illustration marks
where the little church and the priest's house stood in Evangeline's time.
The visitor to Wolfville will find himself attracted by the beauty of the

town and the hospitality of its people.

division headquarters. It is a junction point, the branch line to ( an-

It has a number .,f manufacturin', enterprises, and presents more of the appear-
u,ce of a lively American town than any in the valley. Your i.npression of it
from .ne train window will not be very favorable, and in order to see it to the
be ,c advantage you should stop here a few days and, making the .'berdeen

section of Nova Scotia, rich with history, and made moio interesting by
story ot Evangeline and the Acadians. Rentville is a good point from
which to visit all these places. In itself a handsome town, it offers to the
traveler most excellent hotel accomi.iodations. \ ou can take the train to
any of the prominent places of interest in the valley or, what is better,
take a carriage and drive over the finely kept roads, taking plenty of lima
to visit each point and gaining health and strength in the of . air. The
beauty of this part of Nova Scotia has not been mag, ''■td, but on the
contrary, too little has been said. Every visitor leaves with regret and
makes a fervent statement that he will come again - and he does.

Sr'TA TKl) on the beautiful Habitant River, two miles from its
mouth, and eleven miles from Kentville on the Cornwaliis
Valley Branch of the Dominion iv Atlantic Railway, and in
the very center of the celebrated Cornwaliis Valley apple district
(Which averages 300,000 barrels of apples per year), Canning offers,
without doubt, greater inducements to tourists than any other town
in Nova Scotia for the following reasons: It is eleven miles nearer
far-famed 151omidon (680 feet above the level of the sea, overlooking
the beautiful Hasiii of Minas) than any other place in Nova Scotia
and is only two miles from the world-renowned "Look-off," both of
which present a panoramic view of hill and dale, mountain and

valley, land and sea as far as the eye can reach, all of which
at one season of the year is white with apple blossoms, and at
another a mixture of red and yellow, the trees bending to the
ground laden with luscious fruit.

Golden Beach affords an excellent opportunity for bath-
ing, no Coney Island surf with its dangerous undertow.

The drive to (Irand Pre over the old French dykes is
something never to be forgotten.

Canning has an excellent water service (cost 530,0001,
the supply coming from springs on the mountain side, 500
feet above the town and two miles distant.

Two steamboat lines ply daily between Canning and
different points on Minas liasin and the Hay of Fundy.

Di-ring the hottest season of the year there is no oppressive'
heat in Canning, the gentle breezes from .e Hay of K.ndy and
Minas Misin caused by the wonderful rise and fall of the tide
:n the river— thirty feet— making the air cool and invigorating and
there is none of the languor and weariness such as one feels m
more inland towns. The nights are cool and refreshing: sleep
never forsakes the eyelids of the happy sojourner m this favored
clime. Kog is unknown in the Cornwallis Valley. In summer the
climate varies from 60" to 85'' Fahrenheit.

Hotel accommodation is unexcelled, all the hotels being ot
modern construction, and the cuisine is equal to that of any city
hotel Kach hotel has splendid livery stables in connection, and
free carriages attend all trains: and Canning bung so near the
important points above mentioned and of so much importance to
tourists, the cost of driving to these points is very small.

Canning has a real l,>e Board of Trade, and is the home of tht-
