In Victoria Park

From a hill in the rear of Summerside is a glorious prospect of the country and of the waters to the north and south. Looking one way. Bedeque Bay is seen, with all its attractive surroundings, while beyond it lies Northumberland Strait, with the coast line of New Brunswick in the distance. In the other direction is Richmond Bay with its seven islands, and beyond it the Atlantic, while the irregular line of shore and the islands that dot the water make a fitting foreground for a truly entrancing picture. « Charlottetown, the capital and the commercial centre of the island. has a population of about 12,500. It has a fine harbour, opening into Hills— borough Bay, and when seen from the water the city makes an especially fine appearance, built as it is on land which has a height of about fifty feet above the tide near the shore and rises to three times that height: at the rear of the city. A closer acquaintance with the city confirms the good impression formed of it. Charlottetown is an exceedingly attractive place. It is well laid out, and the streets are of a generous width. There are a num- ber of handsome public buildings, and much taste is shown in the private reSIdences and their surroundings. Several of the churches are line spec1mens of architecture, and the new Catholic Cathedral is one of the finest structures
