SUMMER RESORTS,

Wirn the end of August we see the close of the holiday season. The tide of travel to this Province, has this year, been fairly large—though not so large as in some previous vears. Speaking generally, the tourists whocame to P. E. Island have expressed themselves as highly pleased. While the rains of July and August were unusually heavy here, as in evker parts of the world, they fell for the enest part in the night, Our days were fine; our dust subdued. The green of our meadows and grain fields was well main. tained; the prospects of our broad and cultivated landscapes even more pleasing than usual. So our tourists and local holiday seekers had cause for their satisfaction. We have heard fewer complaints and more praise concerning our town hotels and boarding houses than in some of the years that are past. Those among us who cater to the taste of the public are, it may be presumed, learn- ing wisdom by experience,—learning to supply that which the holiday tourist needs ; and it may be that those who come here for a holiday have learned pot to

_make a fuss if they faii to obtain acecommedation such as they get in large centres of population.

S2il) it remains a question whether a firat- elas hotel in Charlottetown would nor, by attracting a section of the wealthy claes of tourists, pay our merchants and people,— indirectly if nos directly. Certainly, our season is short. Such an hotel would bare to be shat up, or shut up in large part, for eight or nine months of the year. Qn the other hand, wealthy men and women coming among us every year and spending their moaey freely, would bright” en business, enable us to sell many more things im the home market, add materially to the volume of our circulation, and enlarge our profite at the end of each succeeding year. This question has repeat- edly engaged the attention of public- spirited and enterprising meu among ur, but it is yet to be dealt with in a practical way. Inthe meantime we observe. with pleasure, not only an improvement in the waanagement of the hotels and hoarding houweaes in existence, but an en’argement of the number of those quiet farm houses on the seashore in which boarders are received.

Most of thoze who take a holiday require

rest and refreshment. To this end they

meed first of all good clean beds and wholesome food; and these with bathing ip the sea and quietude they obtain to their satisfaction in such houses as those of Mr. McCallum, at Brackley Point, on the North shore, and Mr. Archibald McLean,

iets YeESTERDAVS Uvtine.—A day in the country of Prince Edward Island at this season of the year is a pleasure that is appreciated by all who have the opportun- ity of enjoving it. This pleasure was fully enjoyed by Mr. James Paton, Mrs. Paton aud children and the employes yeeterday, when they sailed down to the beautiful district near Eldon to spend the day and celebratetheirannual picnic. We often hear of the beauty of foreigo scenery. But familiarity sometimes blinds us to the beauty of our Cwo; and anyone would say that the scenery near Eidon would make a grand subject for some artist. The party, in the smarttug Fred M. Batt, arrived at Halliday’s wharf about two o’clock. where they|partook of funch and visited friends in the settlement, and after a most enjoy- able afternoon started for home again. The sail home was most enjoyable. and soon the lights of the city loomed up out of the darkness. When town wae reached the echoes rang with cheers for Mr. and Mrs. Paton and the Fred M. Batt, and each one felt that Aug. 30th will be remembered as one of the most enjoyable days of 1897.

Tue Recorp Broxen.—Star Pointer, the famous pacing boree, broke the world’s record for one mil on the Readville track, last Suiurday, pacing an exhibition in 1.59}. The track was ia excellent con- dition and Star Pointer made the record with hardly an effort. In fact, when he started it was not thought he would do better than 2.92. When he paesed the first quarter post in 30 seconds fiat, however, there was intense excitement. The half was turned in 59}, and the third quarter in 1.29. On ihe stretch the borse seemed to fairly fly, aud crossed the tape in the wonderful time of 1.59}. He was paced by a running borse and was driven by McClarey.

THearricaL.—A large house greeted the Miles Ideal Stock Company last eveniag when they presented the classical play of “Damen and Pythias” at the Opera House. The play is ® strong one, and is of the type that fenvobles and elevates, The acting throughout was of the best description, aud the costumes were those of the period in which the ecene is laid. The part of Damon was cleverly taken by Mr. Butler, and Mr. John E. Miles well sustained his reputation by his rendering of the part of Pythias. The support generally was ex- celient. The »pecialities between the acts were very funny. Tonight the com- edy-drama, “All a Mistake,” will be played, and an entertainment of rare ex- cellence is promised. Tomorrow afternoon there will be a matinee performance, the bill being “The Blacksmith’s Daughter.” For their closing performance on Wed- nesday evening the company will put on “New Mexico,” a very powerful drama.
