A FINAL CHAPTER—HOTELS

HE principal “North Shore” Resorts are at Tracadie Beach, Stanhope Brackley Beach, Rustico, and Malpeque. At these places, respectively, are located the “Acadia,” “Shaw’s,” the “Sea View,” “Mutch’s,” the “Cliff House,” the

“Seaside,” and the “North Shore" Hotels. These houses are

delightfully situated on beautiful land-locked Bays, where boat- ing, still-water bathing, shooting, and other sports may be enjoyed ad libitum. Beyond the bars and the sand dunes, rolls in the foam~capped surf, and here is the finest sea-bathing in America; while out in the Gulf, for those who fancy it, can be had mackerel and cod fishing with the hardy toilers of the North Bay. The strong air of this northern coast is a tonic in itself. The hotels are within easy drive of Charlottetown or other railway station. The “Seaforth” is at Cascumpec Bay.

But to those who prefer a less ozonized atmosphere, the “South Shore” offers many attractions. The “Florida” hotel is a popular resort at Pownal, and the “ Lansdowne” at Cape Traverse is a comfortable house. The “ Pleasant View” house at Hampton is very much liked by all who visit it. There is good boating and bathing, and the hotel is beautifully situated on high ground with an extensive and pretty view of land and sea. This place is reached by boat or carriage from Charlottetown.

Besides the hotels (:1 list of which follows), there are many farm houses where visitors will be welcomed and hospitahly entertained. Numerous clean and intelligent families will receive tourists; and if the bill of fare be not as varied as that of the hotels, the guests may depend upan getting the richest cream and the most golden butter imaginable, together with an abundance of all the other good things furnished by this fertile summer—land.
