     embowered in foliage, are of themselves well worth a Visit 
     
     to the Island. The scenery along the courses of the 
     
     north, west, and east rivers is delightful, all presenting ~ 
     
     objects of interest and admiration. A magnificient drive 
     
     from Charlottetown, is that to Brackley Point, and calling 
     
     at the “Sea View” house, kept by Ewen Houston, the tourist 
     
     can have a magnificient View of the gulf and bay. The 
     
     scenery is beyond discription. After partaking of the good 
     
     things provided by the amiable hostess, we start for 
     
     . “Shaws Hotel,” kept by Mr. Neil Shaw. This house is 
     
     large, well kept and nicely furnished, and has all the com- 
     
     forts ofa first class summer resort. After leaving this 
     
     pleasant spot the next point reached is the “ Grand View 
     
     Hotel,” about one mile beyond. Mr. Alex. McMillan is the 
     
     sociable host. This house is situated on the sloping shores 
     
     of Rustico bay, it is roomy, well lighted and the table fare 
     
     is second to none on the north‘shore. After a mile’s drive 
     
     further on the “Island Home” kept by Mr. Neil McCallum, 
     
     is reached. This house is beautifully situated on the 
     
     western shores of Covehead Bay, an] everything in con- 
     
     nection with it is well arranged, and up to the requirement 
     
     of the times. “Point Pleasant Hotel," Covehead. is the 
     
     next stopping place, Mr. Angus McMillan is the proprietor. 
     
     From here we get the most commanding View of the gulf 
     
     that can be obtained from any point of the shore. This 
     
     house was among the first of the summer hotels in this 
     
     section of the country and still maintains its excellent re- 
     
     putation. A hotel in course of erection by Mr. Francis 
     
     Mutch, when finished, will be a valuable acquisition to the 
     
     pleasant hotels that dot this section of the county. Those 
     
     Who take a holiday at this delightful coast will find safe 
     
     and pleasant boating, excellent fishing in stream and sea, 
     
     and every facility for use of the gun. Returning by Union 
     
     and St. Peter’s Roads, the scenery is of ever varying and 
     
     rural loveliness. The visitor will be well repaid by a drive to 
     
     Tea Hill, not many miles from Charlottetown. Here 
     
     picturesque scenery and magnificient views open before 
     
     him. The faint outlines of Nova Scotia, in the dis- 
     
     tance, the blue waters of Hillsborough and Pownal bays, 
     
     With their pretty Island, surrounding hills, and sharp head-
