Hear a pin drop in this park The 104-year-old Halifax Public Gardens of Nova Scotia are located right in the heart of the bustling port of Halifax -- yet there is such' an uncanny hush along its tree-lined walks that you can hear a pin drop. The 16-3/4-acre oasis of sil- ence is a genuine Victorian period piece which has miraculously survived into the 20th Century with all the trimmings of the 19th. The quaint, ginger-breadish bandstand was built in honour of Queen Victoria's Golden Jub- ilee back in 1887. The massive- ly handsome wrought-iron entrance gates which were im- ported from Scotland in 1890 for a mere $600 could not be obtained anywhere todayfor ten times that amount. Each gate is adorned with the drole old city crest, consisting of two oldtime sailors sporting straw boaters, and carrying the evocative motto "E Mari Merces" ("Wealth From The Seas"). Other bits of Haligonian Vic- toriana: Canada's first skating rink, built in 1859; the digni- fied descendants of a swan cou- ple presented to the Gardens by the late King George V of Eng- land; the Soldiers' Monument and Fountain com memorating Canad- ians who served in the South African Campaign Of 1899-1902; the statues of Ceres, goddess of agriculture, Diana at her bath, and Flora, goddess of flowers, which date back to 1887.
