are grouped within a few miles of each other and are all delightful places offering the full list of attractions enumerated and some additional. At Tracadie is the Acadia Hotel and the Tracadie golf links. From here, too, the Acadian settlements can be reached in a day’s excursion. At Brackley Beach is Shaw’s Hotel, at Cove Head is the Cliff House. At Stanhope is the summer residence of. Alex. McDonald, of Cincinnati, the Stan- dard Oil magnate. Rustico is further to the west and the Seaside Hotel is located here. This is reached by coach from Charlottetown, or by train to Hunter River.

Summerside, on Bedeque Bay, is the commercial centre of the western end of the Island, and is head- quarters for wild fowl shooting in Richmond Bay. Near Summerside is Malpeque, another charming north shore resort. At the eastern end of the Island are Souris and Georgetown.

Prince Edward Island is being visited annually by an increasing number of tourists. The trip thereto, whether by direct steamer or by rail and water route via Nova Scotia and New Brunswick towns and cities, is a pleasant and varied one, and on the Island are found every form of summer amusement, excellent hotel accommodation and a climate unsurpassed on the continent. The airis remarkably fresh and buoyant, there is an entire absence of fog, and the tempera- ture is cool, with breezes always blowing from the Gulf. Were the north shore within easy reach of as large a population as the New Jersey coast resorts it would attract as many hundreds of thousands of tourists and health seekers every year. People, however, are learning to take more extended vacation trips, to hunt out new places, and the Island will attract ever increasing throngs.
