There is a spot below the Fall where a rocky cavity causes a 
     
     whirlpool effect at times. It was known in La Tour's time, and 
     
     was called the ”Pot.” Floating timber was often caught in it and 
     
     confined in a floating circle for days and weeks. One great tree is 
     
     known to have been impounded there for many years. In con- 
     
     nection with that tree it is told that the Indians called it Manitou, 
     
     0r Uthe Devil.” To propitiate the evil spirit that lodged—as they 
     
     thought—within it, they offered homage of beaver skins, which they 
     
     attached to the tree with an arrow head made of sharpened moose 
     
     bone. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Rockwood Park is quite close 
     
     to the city, and is a delightful 
     
     place in which to spend summer 
     
     days. it is quite extensive, and is 
     
     particularly interesting from the 
     
     fact that it is full of natural beauty, 
     
     having hill and dale, little glens 
     
     and waterfalls, ponds, bridges, ter- _ 7 ., 7 
     
     races, etc., and a variety of features .;.;.~fi“;~-_\_;;i5 -._- _ " , fl

     There is rarely any crowd there, and those who love pleasant walks 
     
     under shady trees, with a fine prospect: in addition, may take a book 
     
     and enjoy country repose on the very threshold of the city. Lily 
     
     Lake is a pleasant sheet of water, within the park and not far from 
     
     the entrance. The rocky fall at one end of it is very picturesque, 
     
     and the climb down reveals a pretty scene. Five other lakes have 
     
     been constructed to form a feeding chain for the park lake, and 
     
     these. with the numerous paths and roads that are laid out to them 
     
     and through the rocks, glens and lakes, add greatly to the recreational 
     
     resources of the park. If it is visited several times, a complete 
     
     circuit of its beauties may gradually be made, and the views of 
     
     the surrounding country, and those of the Bay of Fundy waters, will 
     
     well repay all who engage in the delightful (,>(tc111_)atii(>1i. 'l‘he op-

     The Public Gardens are at the west end of the park, and a 
     
     pleasant hour or two may be well spent in either ramble or rest, to 
     
     View the floral clusters so tastefully displayed. 
     
    
   
   
    
     There are golf, tennis and yachting clubs in or near the city; 
     
     and unlimited opportunities for the enjoyment of sailing, yachting,
