After an early breakfast the time

Sydney, North Sydney and Sydney

can lay claim to be within the' dis-

from Sydney,
Sydney is the principal city of the
island. It is the Eastern terminus
of the Canadian National Railways
and a sea, port of importance. It is
the centre of the steel making Indus-

BOAT TRW ON 11Di1AS 1) '011E
Leaving Sydney after luncheon,,
on the steamer Bras d 'Ore, the party
enjoyed another boat tripthrough
the Brae d .'Ore lakes, the scenery of.
which is- wonderful ' Gieat massive-
rocks fermemouiitains on either side
but dotted here and there are small
vilages, and farms- nestling among,
the trees. •
Towards the end of the boat ride,
was seen the, burying place of Gra-
ham Bell, of the Bell Tel. Co., high.
up on the top of a hugh mountain,
where he owned a thousand acre.
farm, ' At the foot .of thismountain
is seen his beautiful summer home.
On this trip were two amusing in-
cidents. Shortly after leaving Syd-
ney, , the boat made a landing and a
small boy anxious to sell papers got
on board, and . the boat pulled away
before he had time to et off. How_
eve the little ; fellow' was seen, in
tears, and word was 'sent to the cap-
tain, who soon pulled back again and
the lad was allowed to join his fel-
low newsies, amid a shower of silver
coin from the gentlemen on board.
The other was when a couple of
barrels of lobsters were spied on the
boat. They were tossed to every-
body even up on first and second
deckand handed arounu until all on
board were supplied with all they
could eat of this delicacy.
At :Saddeck another landing was.
made and supplies unloaded for the
inhabitants. Overlooking this town
is where Graham Bell's remains lie.
MOTOR TI—ZIP ATN 7W GLASGOW
Iona was, reached about 9.30 p.m.
where all boarded the train again
which had come back to this point
from Sydney, passengerless. A
night's run brought us to new Glas-
gow, Nova Scotia at 6 a.m. Thursday.
Ilere again cars conveyed the party
through the city which was profusely
decorated, and out about ten miles in.
the country to Pictou, which place
will this year celebrate the 150th an
aiversary of the landing bt the ship
"Hector," which transported Scottish
pioneers, who settled in that part of
Nova Scotia.
Returning to the city suburbs we
were shown through one of the many
thriving industries of the city: the
car shops, where it was interesting
to see the different' processes where
300 cars, were turned• out every day.
The Standard Cla' Products Lim-
ited is located here which gives labor
to many hundreds of hien. Among
other industries are the granite
works, foundry machine shops, jew-
elry manufactures, woodworking fac-
tories and many 'others. The East-
ern Chronicle. established in 1852 is
one of the oldest papers published in
N. S., and helps with several others`
to care for New Glasgow from a
newspaper's point of: view. During
oui' motor drive we were taken to
Green Hill, the highest point in N. S.
It affords a most beautiful pallor -
aline view of many hills and valleys.
Afterwards we were driven to the
large First Presbyterian 'church
where a sumptuous luncheon was
served, followed by addresses given
by mayor White of New Glasgow and
other leading officials.
At Truro, our next stop, 'a motor
ride had been planned, but on ac-
count of running behind scheduled
time, no one was allowed to leave the
platform. The mayor therefore, to-
gether with Premier Armstrong, of
N. S., who welcomed us at Halifax,
and who was now touring the Prov-
ince, gave a speech of welcome on the
platform, after' which the Press Par-
ty sang "0 Canada," and Alouette.
s
Arriving at Amherst, we again de'
trained ` and in the waiting motor
were driven about the town. Here
we appreciated the presence of the
firemen, who turned out with their
outfit of hook, ladder and hose equip_
m.ent, all motor driven, and which
showed up exceedingly well. From
here we were driven to Sackville,
New Brunswick. This drive was
made a little ,unpleasant by a nasty
drizzling rain and rather cool breeze.
The boundary line between N. B, and
N. S. is a tidal ,river called Missi-
quash. There are several tidal rivers
in Nova Scotia, where with the rising
title the water; flows inland to the
iclistance of 40 or 50 miles. During
this ride we visited another historic
old. fort called Fort Beausejor, now
lying in ruins. The land here is
known as the Tantramai Dyke Landhl.
and are low and marshy, but quite
rich, 1io fertilization whatever being
required to 'furnish ` anannual crop
of 40,000, tons of good hay.
y
Arriving at.Sackvilbe, a band ser-
enaded us as we Were driven through
the centre of the town. . We first
visited the ' Art gallery, then the
Clias. Fawcett Memorial Building-,
where the mayors from 'both Amherst
and Sackville united in 'welcoming
the party to those two towns. They
each told of the )roeressiven • Y

nim was served which had to be eat-

Fredericton, the capital of: New
Brunswick, was one of the -cities
visited by the Canadian Weekly Press
Association on their itinerary over
the Canadian National Railways re-
eently. The city, located on the St.
John River, is one of. the prettiest in
the Maritime Provinces. It has a
population of 10,000 and contains
many beaiitiful hones as well ae the
Parliament- buildings, ijnive.rsite of
iivg",
and Christ Church Cathedral, one of
the stateliest religious <edifices in
Eastern Canada. Splendid motoring
roads connect „with the main high-
ways of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia
and the New England States. The
Photograph shows Christ Church
Cathedral, ;which is patterned after,
the type of old English' churches-
found in the motherland. It contains;
