WHAT TO SEE IN THE CITY AND VICINITY AND HOW TO SEE IT.
A Few Facts.
St. John is the most populous and progressive city of the Canadian Maritime ProYinces. It is prominent as a commercial centre, and the home of many industries, but chiefly noted as a maritime port, having connections with all parts of the world. Having an ice-free harbor, it is the Canadian terminus in winter for many Trans-Atlantic steamship lines, and through its doors passes a great share of the imports and exports of Canada and United States. During the winter season of November to April, 19flfi-7, there were 116 sailings of Trans-Atlantic steamers from this port, carrying away 19,623,508 dollars worth of export~. while the annual lumber shipments from the port average 80,000,000 superficial feet. But its chief interest for the tourist is in the cool, bracing summer climate, and its convenience as a centre from which to take side trips to the fishing, hunting, scenic and historical places throughout the Provinces. St. John has excellent hotel accommodation at reasonable prices. Evening::; always cool, air pure and refreshing, malaria and mosquitoes unknown. It is situated at the mouth of a noble river, navigable for over 100 miles, having many large tributaries, and this whole inland watercourse is famous for the beauty of its ever-vary ing scenerr.

2 BRIEF HISTORICAL SKETCH.
On the 2-lth of June, ltill-!, a little French ship sailed into what is now called the Harbor of Saint John, and dropped anchor. epou her deck stood Champlain, lle:\lonb and Poutrincourt, men afterwards famous in the history of this country. In honor of the day-the festival of St. John the Baptist-they named the riYer " St. John." There are many picture,.;que incidents connected with our history, none more so than the gallant defence, by Lady La Tour, of her husband's home and fort against Charnbay. The site of the fort, it is supposed, was on the western side of the St. John Harbor. Of this pathetic incident a full de:-;cription is obtainable from Hannay's Hbtory of Aeadia, or Hay's Canadian History Readings. The period of English occupation dates from the ::!oth Sep tember, 1758, when Col. Robert Monckton landed on the west side of the harbor with a :-;trong party, and, having put to flight the French and their Indian allies, erected Fort Fred erick. on the site of the old French Fort. The po:-;t was occupied by a garrison of :\la:-;~achusetts troops for some years. The first permanent English settlers on the River St. John arrived in 1762-a little colony from l\lassacbusdt" under the leadership of Capt. Francis Peabody. They br·came the founders of :\Iaugerville and Sheffield. Un the 16th April, 1764, James Simonds and James \\'bite, of Haverhill, Mass., landed at St. John with a company of thirty persons to engage in the fishery, lime burning, manu facture of lumber, and to trade with the Indians. They established themselves at Portland Point, where they were joined a little later by \\'illiam Hazen, of ~ewburyport. The old Hazen House, built in 1773, is yet standing (much modernized) at the corner of Simonds and Brook Streets. On May 18th, 1783, there landed here twenty ship-loads of United Empire Loyalists, who numbered about 3,000. These commenced with vigor to build a city, which, though it has passed through many vicissitudes, is nevertheless a credit to its founders. In 1784 the Province of New Brunswick, which had hitherto been part of Nova Scotia, was constituted a separate Province,
3 On the 18th of June, 1784, the first great fire occurred. Gen. Thomas Carleton \\'as appointed Governor of );ew Brunswick, and on .\'o\'ember 22nd held his firH council. Supreme Court convened 25th November, 1784, George D. Ludlow being fin.t Chief Justice. Fort Howe Hill, in the rear of the city, bears the remains of the old stone barracks, wbf:'re lived as a common soldier William Cobbett, who after wards was a member of the British House of Comm'}ns.
On ~lay 18th, 1785, Hon. Gabriel Ludlow was appJinted fir:-:;t l\layor of St. John. His monument, together with that of his wife, still remains in the old graveyard, near the Presbyterian Church, Carleton. Towards the close of 1812, the :\lartello Tower, still in :-;ight upon the heights of Carleton, was built. On :\.Jarch 211tb. IS:-?11, the Bank of Xew Brunswick was established. In April, 18lti. the first steamer on the St. John River, the " General Smyth," was launched. It was not until 1840 that the first steam ferry-boat, the "Victoria," began to ply be twt->1::'11 St. John and Carleton, previous to which time row boats and s('ow~ were used. The first steam saw-mill in Xew Brunswick :-.tarted operations at the Strait Shore, St. John, in the presence of the Governors of Nova Scotia and !'\ew Brunswick and other notabilities, July 29th, 1822. The City of St. John suffered great losses in the confla grations of 1823, 182-l and 1837, and again in 1841 and 1849, but all of these were dwarfed by the " Great Fire " on "\\~~,clHPsday, June 20th, 1877, when two-thirds of the city was rt>duced to a:-;hes, 13J~un people rendered homeless, and the financial loss involved about $2o,oOO,OOO.
Martello Tower.
Crowning the summit of Carleton Heights, and commanding a most t'Xpansive view of bay, harbor and city, stands the 7\lartello Tower, built in 1812 by the Royal Engineers, then stationed at St. John, with the assistance of the 104th Regi IDPnt of Foot- recruited in the Province for the Imperial :-.t->rnce. The walls of the Tower are six feet thick, and all the stone used in the construction was conveyed by the troops in handbarrows from the shore far below. The buildiu~ is in an excellent state of preservation, and has invariablY proved to be an object of great interest to strangers. The Caretaker has a fine collection of souvenirs and antiquities, on exhibition inside the Tower, which is open 4 !rom Jo to 12 a. m .• :? to 6 a nd 7 9 to p, m . TickE-t s lU ds. eac.h.

The \"i~·\\' from this point about sun :-;t-"t b p a rticularly fine.
Fort La Tour.
At the foot of Middl e Street. Carlet-Jn (\\"e-.; t St. John), may be seen the remain ::; of some- Partbworks, popularly sup posed to mark the s itP of Fort L a Tour, f' fPt·tpd in ]1 ~::! 1 . This Fort, a dozen Yt'al's late r. was the theatre of stirring e,·ents in the fierce fued b e tween Charles La Tour, its com mandt>r, and his rival. Cbarnisay, Wb '> was e3tabli.;; hed just across the bay, at Port Royal (now callE-d Annapolis ) . ThE' s ieges of Fort La Tour ; the pa rt pla yed in the fat'll drama by men and ships trom Boston, who came t'> aid L'l Tour: the final capture of the Fort by Charnisay. with itc; tragic sequence: the heroism of Lady La Tour. who died heart broken. the Yictim of the treachery of a pitiless foe, are inci de nts in the most thrilling tragedy in the earlv bist1ry of Acadia. \\~~hen, in 175S. the British completed the conquest of this part of Acadia, Fort Frederick was erected on the site of Fort La Tour. " The Olrl Fort.'' as this place is now called, is only a short dist ance from lallding of Carlf'ton F f' rry. The Electric Light Sta tion stands on the site of the " Old French Burial Ground," in which were interred Gov ernor Villebon, and n:>t improbably the heroine of Acadia, the Lady La Tour. 5 The La Tour Cannon.
The old Fre nch cannon on Queen Square is an interesting r elic of the period of French occupation. It is believed to ha\·e been formerly mounted upon the ancient fortificaUons e rected by the French, and may even have formed a part of the arruamE.>nt of Fort La Tour. When Colonel Monckton, on :-;, J·U·lUbtT ~(Jth, li58, took possession of the c ld Fort in Carleton, be decided to re-build it and to utilize whatever remained of its defences " as so much work ready done to ou r hatHl~... It seems probable that when Fort Frederick wa"
ST. JOHN's C~URCH (Anglican), known as the Stone Church, was for many years the only Church structure not of wood in the city. It is finely situated, fronting the northern termination of Wellington Row and Germain Street. It was erected in 1824 as a Chapel of Ease to Trinity Church, and was served by the rectors and curates of that Church until 1 ...,53.. when it bec_ame the Parish Cbureh of the newly erected Parish of St. :\lark. The Rev. George Mortimer Armstrong, the first l'f'l'tcJr, held the positiJn until October, l~S7. and in 1SS8 the H.ev. John deSoyres became the Rector, and remain ed in offico until his death in February, 1 ~w5. The Re\', Gusta' e Adolf Kuhring, the Jlrf'c-Pnt RPdor. took ebarge in the month of .June folhwing.

It~ methods of warfare is distinctive and peculiar, inasmuch as its object is to present the purer side of life to mankind in such an attractive form that there remains no desire for the other side. Those engaged in the work in St. John have felt for some time the need of a new plant for carrying on this work. A most generous response on the part of eitizens to the ap peals for help has enabled the Assodation to erect the hand some building shown in the illustration. Its cost is in the 15 vicinity of $1jO,HIIIJ ; it is modernly equipped with gymnasium, a n·ry fin e large swimming tank, numerous lockers, class and assembly roomR, r eading rooms, and rooms for games and pa :-.; 1 im e ~.

KING SQUARE {which in any other town would be called a Park) is that level plot situated at the head of King Street, and extending to Sydney Street. In the Square the visitor finds a monument erected to the memory of Fred. Young, a
KI NG SQUARE
youth who, during a wild storm, lost his life in Courtenay Bay in a fruitless effort to save a boy from drowning. The stone building facing the monument is the Court House, be hind which are the Gaol and Police Station.
THE OLD BURYING GROU:ND (lying northeast of King Square) contains the graves of many of the founders of the " City by the Sea "-Loyalists, and their immediate descendants. Here are many quaint old tombstones, with equally quaint epitaphs, marking the resting places of the forefathers of many of the citizens of St. John.

A pleasant ride by carriagE> could be takf>n to Fernbill, a mile out of town, and one of the ruo!'t beautiful cemE't€'riel";. in its natural features, to be found in America. It comprises 145 acres, traversed by well-kept shady nvcoues. An un dulating, and in part billy surface, lends picturesqueness to the general aspect, and the beauty of the place is heightened by the profusion of trees within its borders. A handsome m emorial fountain stands in the midst of the most b ea utiful portion. A ride in the winding aYenucs at Ferubill opens up charming vistas of scenery, and in one sedion are to be se('U beds of very large and beautiful fern~ . for which the region is noted, and from which the name is derived.

A LlUarter of a mtle back from Lily Lake another fine lake haR n•('t-lltly been constructed, the outflow from which into Lily Lake keeps the water of the latter at a high level during the sumnwr IlHHtlbs, and is in itself a great addition to the b{'auty ot the Park.

Passing along Main Street, and out of the <"ity by way of Douglas A\·euue, along which splendid vit•\\'s a r e obtain£>d, i s but a few minutes' car ride to the narrow and high wnll0d gorge ( a t one point less than 500 feet wide) through which the waters of a river -!Gu miles long pour into the harbnr. The Falls are at the b ead of this winding gorge. \Vben thr tide is at low ebb the re is a fall of about fiUee n feet toward the harbor . When the tide returns, it moves up the gor,::<', overcomes the river current, and causl"s a fall in the opposit<' direction. At half tide the surface is smooth, and vessels go up and down in safety. The Suspension Bridge, over the gorge, b as a span of G-lo feet. The construction of this bridge was begun in Octobe r, 1851, by the late W. K. Reynolds. The Cantilever Railway Bridge, beside it, bas a span of -177 feet, and is seventy feet above the highest tide. The best view or the Falls can be secured by going down to the s hore by :\Iur ray & Gregory's mill, on the one s ide, or that of A. Cushing & Co. on the other. Shelter houses have been provided, whe r e visitors may s it and inspect tbe Falls at their IC? is ure. The best time to see the F a lls is when the tide is at it!-> lowt:>st ; but to fully appreciate this great natural wonde r, the Yhdtor should see the Falls at high tide as well, when the waters tumble up stream. Along the shore, and among the rock s close to the seething rapids, can be found at all times of tide beautiful and peculiar scenic effect s, which delight the vis itor. especially if one bas brought a camera along. Close .to the F'alls there is a mammoth pulp mill (one of the largest in Canada). and also one of the finest lumber mills in the Pro\·ineC':. For the best hours to view the Falls, consult monthly tide· table in street cars, hotels, ticket offices and Tourist Informa. tion Bureau, and In back of this hooklet. The Tides.

On the Petit codiac there is the world-famed "Bore," which bas a counter part in only one other river on the globe the Tsien-Tang- Kiang. The peculiar phenomena of the St. John Falls, which is not reprodut·Pd Pht>Wilt·l't', is due to the tide, and here it witnesf'>ed a Fall with thn·•· tlillt·r•·nt phases, when it runs down river, when it runs up rin•r, and when it rPsts from its seeming re\·ersion of nature's Iawg, The reclamation of the broad Tantramar and Grand Pre :\larghes is anothE'r feature of these tidal phenomena. lTtlllPr ordinary circumstances the rise of Spring Tides at Yarmouth is sixl•·•·n feet; Digby, twt•nty-seven feet; Anna polis, tw•·nty-nine feet; Horton Bluff, forty-eight feet; St. 26 Andrews, twenty-five feet; St. John. twenty-!'ieVPn r. ·<'l ; Quaco, thirty feet; while extreme range ~ exceed tbPse figures the maximum range nPar tbe Das in of ~liu n:-; , at the bead of thP Bay. being fifty-three feet.
