     HE trip by steamboat from St. john 
     
     up the Kennebecasis will have given 
     
     many a View, distant and near, of the 
     
     beautiful valley and the garden country 
     
     surrounding it. The course of the river 
     
     steamboat is to the west of Long Island, 
     
     and hence of such pretty suburbs as 
     
     Renforth and Rothesay only distant 
     
     glimpses may be had. Hampton is the 
     
     head of steanl navigation; but the river 
     
     runs up to Norton, Apohaqui, Sussex 
     
     and beyond, in all of which places 
     
    

    
     pretty Views may be seen. These places, therefore, are best seen 
     
    

    
     from the lntercolonial Railway, which passes through the heart of 
     
     the several districts; and, in addition, the road runs up to Petitcodiac 
     
     village and along by the river of that name as far as Moncton. 
     
    

    
     Renforth, Rothesay, Hampton and the various summer 
     
     resort in the vicinity of St. John lying on or near the Kennebecasis 
     
     are all pleasant vacation spots, justly prized by the inhabitants of the 
     
     prosperous city for which they provide such convenient and de- 
     
     lightfully situated country places. 
     
    

    
     At Renforth there is a choice little cove or bay where summer 
     
     cottages face riverwards along a breezy ridge that follows the course 
     
     of the stream at this point; while at Rothesay the bungalows are 
     
     very prettily disposed in the woods by 
     
     the shore, and on the pleasant slopes 
     
     above. At both of these places good 
     
     boating, sailing, and canoeing may be 
     
     had, as well as mitor-boating. River 
     
     bathing is enjoyed by nearly all who 
     
     summer in these charming spots. While 
     
     not so cool as seaside places, they are 
     
     appreciably cooler than town or city. 
     
     and on that account they have become
