NOTES BY TIL- E WAY.
In order to be in un- ison with local
time the delegates canted the hands of
their pieces on an hour and were' then
on a level with the blue -noses of Nova
Scotia. Dinner over, a well earned
hour's rest was in order, many filling
fir the time letter -writing Halifax,
of course, is the capital of the Provinee
of Nova Scotia, and is situated on the
finest harbor in the North Atlantic.
The population of the city, including
• Dartmouth across the harbor, is 45,000.
Themunicipal government comprises a
Mayor and eighteen aldermen,—thecity
being divided into six wards,—who
manage the water works, ten fire
wards, streets, internal health, city
property, public gardens, point plea-
sant park, &c., Sec.
Halifax is the headquarters of the
Imperial forces in British North Amer-
ica. The garrison is the only one in
the Dominion composed of regular
troops. It consists of a regiment of the
Line, of a battery of the Royal Artill-
ery, of two companies of Royal Engin-
eer Corps, of one company of Sub-
marine and Torpedo Engineers, of 3e-
tachments of the Commissariat and
Transport Corps, of the Ordnance Store,
of the HospitalCorps, besides the Medi-
cal and Army Pay Departments. The
Commander-in-chief is a General, who
in the absence from the Dominion of
the Governor-General :Lets as Adminis-
trator of the Government. He has a
military secretary, two aides, and'
eight other staff -officers, together with
a military chaplain.
Halifax is also the principal station
of the North American and West Indies
squadron of the Royal Navy. It is a
Vice -Admiral's command, and the flag-
ship remains in por+during the great-
er part of the summer, with some of
the other vessels of the squadron.
The Provincial Parliament meets in
Halifiax every winter, generally about
February. -It consists of the Lieuten-
ant -Governor, who is appointed by the
Federal authorities, of 'a, Legislative
Council of eighteen members, and of a
Legislative Assembly of thirty-eight
members. The Executive Council is
composed of three ministers, heads of
departments, and of four members
without portfolio. Halifax, city and
county, returns three membsrs to the
Legislative Assembly, and is represent-
ed ro the Federal Parliament by two
members in the Eremite, and two in the

ment (or Provincial)Building,.-ra mass-
ive structure of freestone.. Opposite
the Granville -street entrance is the
Library, occupying a very cosy little
hall, and supplied with works on law,
history, and. science; In the north
part of the building is the plain and
commodious hall of the House of
Assembly ; and on the south is the
Chamber of the Legislative Council.
In the former are portraits of Toseph
Howe, wbo won responsible govern.
''tent for Nova Scotia, and of Judge
Johnston, one of the most prominent
politicians of his day. In the legisla-
tive Council Chamber are full-length
portraits of King George I.j1. and
Queen Charlotte ; on the north wall
are Chief-Jnstice Blowers, King Wil-
liam IV., Jude Haliburton, Sir
Thomas Strange by Benjamin West),
and Sir Brenton aliburton r of ,Nova
Scotia's military heroes, Sir John
Inglis (the defender of Lucknow) and
Sir W. Frenwick Williams, of Kars;
and of King George II. and Queen
Oaroline. Bro. John Scarlett of Lead -
bury and the writer were much inter-
ested in these life -like paintings. They
cost from $500 to $5,000 each.
H. M. Naval Yard, an extensive pro-
perty on the harbor, is next in order.
It is surrounded on the land side by a
high stone wall, and contains the,
landing -place where H. R. H. the
Prince of Wales landed in 1860, and H.
R. H. Princess Louise in 1878. There
are extensive storehouses, machine -
shops, coal depots, arsenals, magazines,
residences for the officials, a hospital, a
large parade -ground, etc. .
The Dockyard was founded in 1758,
and received great additions (including
the present wall) in 1770. During the
two great wars with the United States
it was invaluable as a station for the
Royal Navy, whose fleets thence de-
scended upon the American coast.
Many trophies of the War of 1812 were
formerly kept he�te (as similar marine
mementos of another nation are kept
in. the Brooklyn and Washington
Navy -Yards), including the figure -head
of the unfortunate American frigate,
the "Chesapeake," which was captur-
ed in 1813, off Boston Harbor, by the
British frigate "Shannon," and was
brought into Halifax with great re-
joicing.
The Dockyard is not open to the
public, but the superintendent will
generally admit visitors upon preseiita-
tion of their cards.
Opposite the Dockyard is the ter-
minus of the Intercolonial Railway,
the passenger -station being a large
brick building, lighted at night by
electricity, but with no great preten-
sions to architectural beauty. Lock-
man Street and Water Street run into
one at the bridge beyound the station
building. On the right, just beyond
this bridge, is a powder -magazine, and
another is to be seen inside the palisade
of the Wellington Barracks on the left.
In religious matters and places of
worship Halifax is abreast of the age.
It is the seat of the oldest Bishopric in
the Colonies, the Diocese of the Church
of England comprising the Provinces
of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Is-
land. The see was erected on the 12th
of August, 1787. It is also the seat of
the Roman Catholic Archishopric of
Halifax. The Presbyterian Church has
its financial agency here, and its Theo-
logical Hall. There are thirty-eight
churches and chapels in the city and
suburbs. The only noteworthy bne,
architecturally, is St. Mary's (R. C.)
Cathedral. St. Luke's (Church of Eng-
land) is the pro -cathedral, and a. cathe-
dral is proposed as a memorial of the
centenary of the Colonial Episcopate.
St. Paul's (Church of England) is his-
torically the most interesting. The
Church of England has twelve churches
and chapels; the Roman Catholic five ;
the Presbyterian, eight ; the Metho-
dist, seven ; Baptist, six ; Universalist,
one.
The new Dominion Building is east
of the Parliament Building. on Hollis
Street, and is 140 by 70 feet in area. It
is built of brown freestone, in an ornate
style of architecture, and cost $120,000.
The lower story is occupied by the
Post -Office, Money -Order Office, and
Customs Department ; and the third
floor contains the Provincial Museum,
which exhibits preserved birds, aril -
hinds, reptiles,•fossils, minerals, shells,
coins, and specimens of the stones,
minerals, coatis, and gold ores of Nova
Scotia. There are also numerous
Indian relics, curiosities from Japan
and China, naval Models, and old por-
traits. Opposite the entrance is a gilt
pyramid which represents the amount
of gold produced in the Province be-
tween 1862 and 1870,-5 tons, 8 cwt.,
valued at X8,373,431.
On the corner of Hollis and George
Streets is the handsome building of the
Merchants' Bank; next to itis the Bank
of Nova Scotia ; and opposite the latter
the Bank of British North America,
both of which are lodged in'handsome
stone edifices. The street runs into
Water Street, two blocks farther on.
Granville Street begins at Salter, just
south of the Halifax Hotel, and also
runs into Water Street, opposite the
Ordnance. The first building of note
on this street is Freemason Hall, of
stone and brick. This was the meeting
place of the Grand Orange Lodge of
B. A. In the same block is the un-
pretentious Orpheus Hall. form-
erly a Baptist meeting -house, convert-
ed into a concert -room. In the next
block is situated the Church of Eng-
land .Institute, with reading -room,
billiard -room, etc. ; and ou the corner
of Prince, the Y. M. C. A. Bnilding,—
a handsome and imposing structure.
The mostfrequented portion of Granville
Street lies north of 1reorge Street, and
contains the principal stores.

Continuing along in a northerly
direction, the visitor will see the works
on the Dry Dock, now in process of
construction. It will be a first-class
structure of granite and cement,
capable of receiving the largest vessel
afloat. Its dimensions are : Length
on top, 580 feet ; length on bottom, 560
feet ; width on top, 102 feet ; width on
bottom, 70 feet. Draught of water
over sills at ordinary high-water
spring -tides, 30 feet. A little way be-
yond is the Nova Scotia Sugar Refinery,
and farther still the Deep -water Ter-
minus of the Intercolonial Railway,
where steamers and sailing-veesels may
be seen at all times loading and unload-
ing their canoes. This suburb bears
the name of Richmond.
On Gottingen Street, . two streets
aboye Water Street, are situated St.
Joseph's Church (Roman Catholic) and
Convent, and close by is St. Mark's
Church (Church of England). To the
south, and occupying the whole slope
of the hill between Gottingen and
Water Streets, are the Wellington
Barracks, built of brick. The upper
range of buildings contains the melt's
quarters, guard -rooms, etc. ; the lower'
range is officers' quarters, mess -rooms,
etc. There is a beautiful view from all
parts of the Barracks over the harbor
and Bedford Basin. South of the
Barracks is Admiralty House, the
shore residence of the admiral in coni-
rnand. It is a plain. substantial resi-
dence of stone, covered with ivy on
one side, and commanding a splendid
view. There is a semaphore and
signal -station, by means of which the
admiral communicates with the ships
lying below. H. R. H. Princess Louise
resided here on her first arrival in Can-
ada in 1875. The Naval Cemetery lies
lower down the slope, on Locktlpan
Street. The Deaf and Dumb Institu-
tion is also on Gottingen Street.
Water Street is the Commercial street
of Halifax. Running, as its name in-
dicates, along the shore of the harbor.
it is bordered on. its eastern side by
stores, shops, and wharves. Starting
at the south end, the first wharves of
importance are the Dominion, where
the' coals of Cape Breton are landed
from steamers and schooners; next, at
the foot of Salter Street, are Phelan's,
where -the Boston boats tie up, and
C'orbett's, the terminus of the New
York leaders and of the St. Pierre and
Miquelon service. Farther along is
the Queens wharf, which is Imperial
property, and from which the trans-
port -steamer "Lily" plies to Macnab's
island with companies of the regiments
in garrison, or to the different forts
with reliets for the detachments on
duty. Just above is the Ferry, City;
oe Market wharf from which the
steamers of the Halifax and Dartmouth
Ferry start. Here small boats may be
hired at the landing -slip.

Pleasant, which begins • at Fresh-
water, near the seaside entrance
to Point Pleasant Park, has alretidy
been referred to. It lies immediate-
ly above Hollis and Granville
Streets, and has many handsome pri-
vate residences. Between Sonth and
Morris Streets, on the left hand, is
Girton House, the leading Young
Ladies' Private Seminary ; and im-
mediately above it, the Presbyterian
Ladies' College ; north of this again,
Waverlty House, a comfortable hotel.
pposite Government House is St,
Paul's Old Churchyard, with a free-
stone arch surmounted by a lion, dedi-
cated to the memory of two Nova
Scotian officers killed in the Crimea.
St Matthew's Church (Presbyterian) is
north of Government House ; next
comes the Brigade Office ; and north
of this the Academy of Music,—a brick
building well designed, and capable of
seating eleven hundred people. Op-
posite is St. Mary's Cathedral (Roman
Catholic), a handsome stone edifice
with granite facade and spire, in which
is hung a peal of bells which chime on
Sundays. The fine brick building at
the corner of the street is the Glebe
House, the official residence of the
Roman Catholic Archbishop of Hali-
fax. Above the cemetery is the Court
House, a Large stone building, and be-
hind it the County Jail.
Hollis and Granville Streets are the
two principal thoroughfares, on which
the hest stores may be found. Hollis
starts from South Street, and at the
junction of the two is the Royal Engin-
eer Yard, familiarly known as the
Lumber Yard. The offices of the Com-
mandant of the Corps are situated
here, together with store and boat-
houses, workshops, quarters for ser-
geants, etc. It is connected by an
electric cable with George's Island,
which lies in front of it, in mid harbor.
It is also the station of the Royal
Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron ; all yacht
races starting from and finishing here.
Immediately to the south, and
bounded by the Yard,' are the Gas
Works which supply Halifax. Pro-
ceeding along Hollis, Morris Street is
crossed ; and after passing a block, the
tourist has on his left hand Govern-
ment House and gotindst the residence
of the Lieutenant -Governor. North of
this is the residence of the Bishop of
Nova Scotia. In the next block are

now disused, in which stands the
quaint Little Dutch Church, erected as
a Lutheran place of worship in 1761 by
the early German immigrants.
West of the citadel stretches the
Common, used for military parades.
South of the Common lies Camp Hill
Cemetery, and east of this the Public
Gardena, which front on Spring Gar-
den Road. They are beautifully laid
out, find form one of the greatest sum-
mer attractions of the city. At the
western extremity a lawn -tennis
ground is laid out ; there. is a pond sur-
rounded by slitubbety and flowers, and
inhabited by water -fowl. On Saturday
afternoons the King s'Own band plays
from 4 till 6. Concerts are given at in-
tervals in the evening, when the Gar-
dens are lighted with the electric light.
Opposite the Gardens are the grounds
and building of the Convent of the
Sacred Heart. and at the end of the
street is St. Stephen's (or the Bishop's
ChaPel (Church of England), on the
edge of the site for the new cathedral.
On the other side of the road is
a Methodist Chapel. To the south,
in the next block, is the new
Dalhousie College, and on the ground
situated between Morris and South
Streets, the vast Poor -house built by
the city to replace the edifice formerly
standing in the same place, which was
burned down in 1884, with a loss of
thirty-six lives. East of the Poor-
house is the Victoria General Hospital,
and opposite to it, on the north, the
Exhibition Building, used in winter as
a skating rink. The school for the
Blind is on the square between South
Park, Tower, Morris, and South
Streets. Visitors are admitted on
Wednesdays after three o'clock. Con-
tinuing down Morris Street, St. Luke's
Cathedral, a very. plain wooden build-
ing, is seen on the left.
On Spring Garden Road, at the cor-
ner of Argyle Street, is an open square
planted with trees, formerly used as a
burying -ground frir inmates of the
Poor -)louse, before that building was
removed to its present position. Op-
posite is the Militia Brigade Office, and
west of it the Drill Shed, beyond'which
is Bellevue House, formerly the official
residence of the commander-in-chief of
the garrison. Nearly opposite the
Baptist church, on the other side of
the road, formerly stood Spring Gar-
den Theatre, where the late E. A.
Sothern (Lord Dundrebry) made his
debut on the hoards.
The Cotton Factory is situated on
Kempt Road, at the north end of the
city and some distance beyond, over-
looking the Narrows and Bedford
Basin, is Rockhead, the City Prison.
Pleasant Street here changes its
name to Barrington. Proceeding
north, the visitor will find the City
Club on his left; and farther on he will
come to St. Paul's Church (Church of
England), which is the oldest church
in the city. The walls are covered
with tablets' to the memory of Imper-
ial officials, distinguished Haligonians,
and others. It. has been used as a
cathedrals church by successive bis-
hops, but St. Luke's on Morris Street,
has been for some years past the pro -
cathedral. St. Paul's faces on the
Grand Parade, from which, in former
days, a salute. of one hundred guns
was fired annually on the anniversary
of the settlement of the city. On the
northern end of the Grand Parade
stood Dalhousie College, founded by
the earl of Dalhousie while Govetnor-
General of Canada. It has been large-
ly endowed by George Munro, of "Sea-
side Library" fame. The College auth-
orities are erecting a new building in
the southwest portion of the city, the
present one being too small for the re-
quirements of the institution ; and the
new City Hall is to occupy the site thus
vacated.
The Citadel is most quickly reached
by ascending Sackville Street, at the
head of which is the Halifax County
Academy, a large brick building. The
citadel itself covers the summit of the
hill upon which the city is situated,
and is 250 feet above the level of the
sea. A beautiful and varied view is
obtained from different points of the
works, as the citadel commands the
whole country round. The citadel is a
fortress of the first class, according to
the standards of the old school;
though of late years the Government
has bestowed much attention on the
works at George's Island, York Re-
doubt, the Point, and Macnab's Is-
land, which are more important in a
naval point of view. The works were
commenced by Prince Edward, Duke
of Kent, father of Queen Victoria, tvho
was then Commander of the Fortes on
this station. He employed In the servile
a large number of the Mat'oons, who
had been conquered by the British and
were banished from Jamaica, and sub-
sequently deported to Sierra Leone.
Point. Pleasant, Park, a favorite re-
sort of the. inhabitants of Halifax,
may be reached either by Freshwater,
taking the cars to the foot of Inglis
Street, or continuing up Inglis to the
foot of South Park, by Young Avenue,
at the end of which stands a pair of
gates of handsome design. The Park
is Imperial property, but is leased to
the city for an indefinite number of
years, at a nominal rent of a shilling.
Once a year all roads leading into it
ore closed for twenty-four hours, to
maintain the ownership and prevent
any possible claim to a public right of
way. The Park lies along the shore
of the harbor and of the Northwest
Arm.. The roads, originally made by
the Royal Engineers, are kept in cap-
ital order, and enable the visitor to
drive through all portions of the Park.
There are very. beautiful views of the
harbor, the main, and the Northwest
Arm, from different points. The
masked forts and batteries which the
visitor c'ornes upon unexpectedly, the
ends, the bold rock faces, the woody
glens, the grassy swards, the footpaths
straying through the thickest of the
Wilderness, all lend a charm to the
locality which explains the reputation
it possesses. The Prince of Wales'
Tower, at the southern end of the
ridge, is a martello tower of the
Crimean -war pattern, but is not now
used as a fort.
There is a ferry at Point Pleas-
ant by whieh the visitor can cross
to Purcell's Cove, a charmingly situ-
ated settlement on the western
shore, from which Falkland and
York Redoubt may be reached. Just
beyond the western limit of the Park
stands the disused Penitentiary, a
forbidding granite structure, the in-
mates of which were some years ago
reproved to the new Maritime Provru-
ces Penitentiary at Dorchester, New
Brunswick. At the head of the Arm
is Melville Island, on which are the
buiInglthegs of WartMilitary
Dur-
ing 1812 American prison-
ers were confined here. The Arm is
lined on both sides, but especially on
the eastern shore, with handsome
rivate residepces. There is good sea-
shing and lobster -spearing.
Macnab's ,Island, three miles long, is
a favorite resort for picnics. It has a
powerful battery, and on a sandspit,

Dartmouth.—On the eastern side of
the harbor lies the thrivingtown of
Dartmouth, connected with alifax by
a line of ferry -steamers, leaving every
fifteen minutes. It has four churches,
foundries, machine -shops, breweries,
boat -building yards, etc. There are
extensive rope -works on the ridge to
the north of the town, and on the east
of the town a large skate factory, and
a marine railway on the shore. The
railway line, which crosses the Nar-
rows over a long pile bridge, tuns
along the shore, through the lower
part of the town, and round the
beautiful Dartmouth Cove, to Wood-

on the crest cif the ridge overlooking
the harbor, is the Maunt Hope Asylum
for the Insane, a very large building,
admission to which is obtained by
application at the secretary's office itt

at the entrance of the Eastern Passage,
is Fort Clarence, a powerful work
The Eastern Passage is a long and
narrow strait with many shoals. In
1802 the Confederate cruiser "Talla-
hassee" wits blockaded in Halifax
Harbor by a squadron of United States
frigates. The shallow end tortuous
Eastern Passage was not watched,
since rmthing but small flshing-craft
had ever traversed it, and it was con-
sidered impassable for a steamer like
the "Tallahassee." But Captain Wood
took advantage of the high tide on a
dark night, and crept cautiously out
behind Macnab's_fsland. By daylight
he was far out of sight of the outwitted
blockading fleet.
The Montagu Gold -mines are four
miles from Dartmouth. Cow Bay.
which is reached by a seven miles'
drive along the shore of the Eastern
Passage and through the woods, has a
fine stretch of beach, where surf -bath-

To the north of Dartmouth stretches
a chain of lakes, the drive along which
is very enjoyable. In winter these
lakes afford excellent skating.
