Cjs eta A Trip through the ariti Provinces kiiss I3, Sweet, of the Times staff, gives an interesting description .of her trip through the Maritime Provinces with the Canadian Weekly Newsptt.uer Association—Visits mail" lxietoric spots including the Lancl of E'u1geliue—»Party is well entertained, At a o'clock on the afternoon' of • Thursday', June 14th, members of the 0.1?V,N,A., numbering about 185, bound for Halifax, started on what proved to be an eye opening trip, through the Maritime Provinces. The first duties of everyona on board was to get acquainted or the exchange of salutations for those who had been bn previous trips'of this Association, 7'Ite Canadian National Railway had supplied a Special Train, consisting of 8 sleeping coaches, two diners, .•t baggage car and an observation' car, making a train of 12 coaches, all built of solid steel with first class Pullman equipment, requiring two massive engines to haul, it being one of the longestspecial trains ever having left Toronto. Accompanying the party were a number of C.N.R. ofhclals, as, well as mechanics and electricians to.. enure comfort and safety to all on board., Early Friday- horning, being away east of Mon- treal, the party lett Canadian Terri_ tory and travelled:across 'a, corner of the State of Maine, crossing into Canada again early in the afternoon, having traversed about 220 miles. from Megant e, Que., to McAdam, New Brunswick, those two towns be- ing on the east tinea west borders of Maine. Much of this part of N. B. was illicit, valuable virgin forest, also a consider#ibis amount of rock. end clotted here, €[nci there with small hamlets. A Warm Reception 4 Arriving at Fredericton about 4.30 we were ' niet by a num- ber of the citizens with their motor cars and driven• to a 'Methodist church in the basement of which, were beautifully appearing tables, laden with eatables' to which was 'ad- ded a" large plata of freshly cooked salmon served by the Ladies' Aid. After tills W;ts over the Mayor .of the city made a yarn speech of wel- come. The party were then driven' to places' on interest including the. golf links in the suburbs of the city, our driver taking his load to the Ex_ periinental Farm, of 1500 acres, then to "u'e Parliament Bldgs, where speeches 'were made among others by Mayor and Premier Veniot, Who also gave the party a warm weleonie to Fredericton. , Ile also stated that New Brunswick produced $116,000,- 000 36,000,-000 annually, having 10 million acres of virgin forest, 265 large saw-iuills, 5 pulp incl paper mills with an in- vestment of 750: millions and 'a pop elation of 388,000. Her fisheries are the third largest in the Dominion of Canada, the salmon being second to tbe Fraser river salmon of B. C. After the speaking the evening's en- tertainment wound up with a dance in the sane' room where hung beaut- iful paintings of the leading 'fare_ lathers of N. B. Our train, stood at Frederictonthat flight giving us a fine chanes to rest peacefully. • Sat- urday morning, breakfast being over early, was spent on the rear end or Weeny of the observation car. This part of N. B. being along the St. John river was most wonderful; The wea- ther being ideal; one could sit out- side with 'comfort, The distance to • St. Johnfrom Fredericton is 80 1 miles, and along this St. John valley as it le called, one became dazed with its beauties after seeing so much of forest the deny previous. Fishing is one of tine main lines of support, and boating, 0.11e line of pleasure, although the country ap_ peered to be a good, farming district and the roads looked inviting to a motorist's eye. Golf is a spare that is very much partaken of all through the East, links being seen every- where along the .line.. Arriving at Sat.' John about 10 o'clodt, special street cars conveyed the party to the centre of `'the city, where some spent their time in the stoves, others in an old grave yard which proved quite interesting to .many. Several stat- ues, one of Tilley, are placed in this square amid a pretty, well kept n>i.rk, directly opposite of which was "The ;Paradise •resturant, where the party wore entertained to luncheon being guests of the Rotary Club, and where air orchestra furnished excellent mu- sic.

A. H. Moore, of St. Johns, Que., at which almost all on board attended. Immediately after the service every body joined in singing hymns, popular songs and old time pieces till Digby was in sight. As the landing was being made the national air "0 Canada" was struck up by all on board. One was struck, at once with, tbe beauty of the little Canadian port Autos were waiting and a drive was enjoyed first along the waterfront, then around this pretty little city, which was picturesque from one end to the other. Just one hour was al- lotted here and on leaving,' our train travelled right through one of its streets, with only a narrow ,sidewalk `. between the train and houses, which were built close to each other on both sides of the street for three or four blocks.
