     dence of Alexander Macdonald 
     
     Esq., President of the Standard 
     
     Oil Co., Cincinnati. 
     
    

    
     It must not be imagined that 
     
     the holiday resorts of P. E. 
     
     Island are confined to the 
     
     northern side of the Province. 
     
     At Summerside, the prosperous 
     
     capital of Prince County, dis- 
     
     tant forty miles from Charlotte- 
     
     town by rail, there are many 
     
     pleasant ways of spending the 
     
     time. Richmond Bay and 
     
     Malpeque, where the famous 
     
     oysters come from, is here. and 
     
     the scenery in the vicinity is 
     
     charming. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Summerside is lighted by 
     
     electricity, has good hotels— 
     
     particularly the Clifton House 
     
     —is connected} by telegraph 
     
     and telephone with Charlotte- 
     
     town. From here the splendid 
     
     steamer Northumberland of the 
     
     Charlottetown Steam Nav. Co., 
     
     makes daily trips to Ft. Du 
     
     Cherie, N. B., and this is the 
     
     popular route for fast travel 
     
     to P. E Island during the 
     
     summer season.

     Souris, in King’s County, is 
     
     another delightful resort, which 
     
     is rapidly becoming popular as 
     
     a watering place. Souris is 
     
     said to be, by its admirers, the 
     
     healthiest and the prettiest 
     
     place on P. E. Island. 
     
     It is situated on the line of 
     
     railway, and has good accommo- 
     
     dation for visitors. In the 
     
     neighborhood of Souris there . 
     
     are some of the finest trout streams of the Province. Georgetown, also in King’s 
     
     County, on the line of railway, has many attractions for visitors. The harbor is one 
     
     of the finest in the world, and for any one looking for rest, pure and simple, this is 
     
     the place to come to. Georgetown is a quiet place but it has the advantages of good 
     
     accommodations for visitors, and communication twice a day, by train, with 
     
    
   
   
    
     Charlottetown. 
     
     There are many other places, all deserving of mention, and all possessing 
     
    
   
   
    
     much the same claims to consideration. We cannot better conclude this subject than
