     IN CHARLOTTETOWN one of the most 
     
     interesting places is the Harris Memorial Art 
     
     Gallery and the Public Library. On the Mount 
     
     Edward Road, near Charlottetown, is the Domin— 
     
     ion Experimental Farm, Whose magnificent flower 
     
     gardens, hedges and ornamental trees are a source 
     
     of great delight to visitors. 
     
    
   
   
    
     THE PROVINCIAL BUILDING in Charlotte- 
     
     town with its famous Confederation Chamber is 
     
     the outstanding centre of tourist interest in the 
     
     Province of Prince Edward Island. The corner 
     
     stone was laid on May 16, 1843, and was completed 
     
     in June, 1847, at a cost of 15,000 pounds sterling. 
     
    

    
     At the west end of the second floor is the Con- 
     
     federation Chamber, where in 1864 the meeting 
     
     of the Fathers of Confederation was held. In this 
     
     room are many documents and relics of priceless 
     
     historical value. Every year thousands of people 
     
     visit the Confederation Chamber as an historic 
     
     shrine whose value will increase as the years pass. 
     
    
   
   
    
     SUMMERSIDE, the capital of Prince County, 
     
     is situated on the South side of Prince Edward 
     
     Island on Bedeque Bay. One of the most historical 
     
     buildings in the town is the Kirk, which originally 
     
     was the Joseph Pope house, built in 1818 at 
     
     Bedeque, across the harbour. This was the birth— 
     
     place of J. C. Pope and Thomas Pope, the latter a 
     
     most intimate friend of Newman at Oxford, who 
     
     afterwards became the beloved Cardinal Newman 
     
     of the Roman Catholic Church, the author of the 
     
     famous hymn “Lead Kindly Light.” Mr. Pope 
     
     became a noted shipbuilder and later was Canada’s 
     
     first Minister of Marine and Fisheries. 
     
    

    
     In 1872 one of the first tourist hotels in Can— 
     
     ada was built on “Holman’s Island” just across the 
     
    
   
   
    
     harbour from Summerside, by the late James L. 
     
     Holman, a pioneer in the Canadian Tourist Indus- 
     
     try. This hotel contained one hundred and twenty— 
     
     five rooms all equipped in first class style. Many 
     
     years later this old hotel was destroyed by fire. 
     
    
   
   
    
     GEORGETOWN is the capital of King’s 
     
     County at the eastern end of Prince Edward 
     
     Island. It is situated at the juncture of three beau- 
     
     tiful rivers, viZ., Brudenell, Cardigan and Mont- 
     
     ague. Georgetown is a fine vacation centre where 
     
     swimming, fishing and boating can be enjoyed. 
     
    

    
     On a white marble slab in the cemetery at St. 
     
     Mary’s Church, SOURIS, is the following epitaph: 
     
     “In memory of the beloved wife of Andrew McInnis 
     
     —Elizabeth McDonald—died December 15th, 1852, 
     
     aged 65.” She was a native of Lockaber, Scotland, 
     
     and had the honor in 1818 of having the first dance 
     
     with King George III at the Royal Hall, Edinburgh. 
     
    
   
   
    
     O’LEARY has one of the finest museums on 
     
     Prince Edward Island. It is owned by A. J. Math- 
     
     ieson, druggist, who is always ready to show his 
     
     interesting collection to visitors. 
     
    
   
   
    
     AT CAPE TRAVERSE, near Borden, is lo- 
     
     cated the famous hand-made pottery studio of 
     
     Miss Mary Allison Doull. This pottery is made 
     
     in her own kiln from red Island clay. In addition 
     
     to her fine collection of pottery Miss Doull has an 
     
     excellent exhibit of her own paintings, together
