At a o'clock on the afternoon' of •
Thursday', June 14th, members of the

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

A Warm Reception

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-

square amid a pretty, well kept n>i.rk,

Sunday morning, at 9 ann. the par-
ty boarded the Canadian Pacific
Steamship, "Empress" and enjoyed
the trip across the Bay of Fundy,' a
distance of 40 miles, While on board
a short divine service was held by
the Rector, Rev. 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. The train now travel_

ty to visit old Fort Anne, with its

a brief history of the fort. The next':
stop was at Kentviile, where the Cit-'
