sunset with its fairy panorama of fantastic cloud, silver tinted under the influence of the rising moon—these things constitute a scene that is truly delightful.

Owing to the fine drives in the neighborhood, carriages are very nu— merous. Almost every house of a habi- tant has its stable, and whether he be a grocer, a shoemaker or what not, his wzture may be seen emerging from its lane by the trim little cottage to meet every steamboat that calls at the wharf.

The life at Murray Bay is very pleasant; and it is sure to be enjoyed by all who like driving, walking, boating, bathing, tennis, golf. etc.; all of which recreations may be followed here to their full in the midst of ideal surroundings.

Cap a l'Aigle may be described as a farm-village resort. It has a pleasant little strip of shale and gravel beach. It has a waterfall, where, although the volume of water passing over it is small, the view is very picturesque. Beach life is not promi- nent in any of the Murray Bay resorts, unless it is at St. Irenee. This is because of the wonderful attraction the surrounding country has for walks, drives, and other outdoor recr rations. A few houses cluster at the top of the road léading up from the wharf at (‘ap a l'Aigle, and farm houses extend along the tops of the cliffs in the direction of St. Fidéle and St. Simeon.

There are numerous pleasant walks along the breezy heights, and the road to Murray Bay River and village is an enjoyable one. Cap 21 l’Aigle has a quiet, restful, and simple life that suits it for those who desire to spend the summer not too near to a town; and in addition, it has the advantage of being within reasonable distance of the busy summer centre at Murray Bay.

On the south shore of the St. Lawrence, almost opposite Cap {‘1 l'Aigle, lies bright and picturesque Kamouraska, with its white houses lining the river, and its five verdant islands reposing within convenient reach for the enjoyment of boating, bathing and fishing. There are summer cottages here pleasantly j’)laced along the banks, and a number of stopping—places for visitors are found on the quiet streets. Driving, walking, and tennis are the recreations, with the usual social life found in country vacation centres. The village is very prettily laid out; and the enjoyable stretches of beach, with the abundant tree-growth of the neighborlmrxl, make this a favorite
