sents the appearance of a great checker-board, the dark and light 
     
     patches frequently alternating with exact regularity. 
     
    

    
     Carleton is a pleasant and cool little spot, spreading out 
     
     crescent-shaped on table land at the foot of the hills and right on 
     
     the shore, fronted by a clean sand beach. The village is peopled 
     
     by descendants of the Acadian French who came here from Tracadie. 
     
     It lies almost in a nook, nicely sheltered. The Bay of Carleton is a 
     
     fine sheet of water, with the points of Miguasha and Tracadiegetch 
     
     at its western and eastern boundaries. The little river Nouvelle 
     
     empties into its western end. It is a good place for sea fish, and 
     
     the brooks and streams inland are stocked with trout. 
     
    

    
     The Chaleur Bay shore of the Gaspé Peninsula has many 
     
     attractions for summer visitors, for being somewhat removed from 
     
     the regular highways of travel it still preserves its old-time appear~ 
     
     ance. Those who spend a vacation in any of its homelike villages 
     
     or towns cannot fail to be pleased with all they will find there. The 
     
     great hunting and fishing opportunities are described under the 
     
     chapter “\Vhere to Go.” 
     
    

    
     In leaving the Gaspe shore, the province of Quebec is left 
     
     behind, and further progress east and south is in the province of 
     
     New Brunswick. 
     
    

    
     The once fire—swept, but again busy and prosperous, town of 
     
     Campbellton stands at the head of the navigable deep-water of 
     
     Chaleur Bay. The surrounding country is well diversified and ex- 
     
     ceedingly picturesque with its valleys and conical hills. The Sugar 
     
     Loaf boldly overlooks all from an elevation of over 900 feet. 
     
     An excellent view of the broad Restigouche River may be had 
     
     from almost any part of the town. (i‘ampbellton has good wharves 
     
     and much shipping; it is also a busy lutercolonial Railway centre. 
     
     Because of its admirable situation it is a natural centre for hunting, 
     
     fishing and canoeing trips, and it_ 
     
     makes a good base for camping—out 
     
     parties. It is also finely adapted H 
     
     for summer residence of those who , A 
     
     like to spend their vacaticm in a ' 
     
     town centre convenient to outlying ‘ 
     
     country and places of interest.
