A TRIP TO CAPE BRETON
‘With the Maritime Press Association.
‘From Port Mulgrave to Grand Narrows Hotel.
MEETING OF OLD FRIENDS. First View of the ‘Arm of Gold.”
oontianemeneeal
There have been larger parties, andthere may have been merrier parties, than the ‘Bross Party” which left New Glasgow on Thyrsday, the 12th September, instant ; but there never was—in my opinion—a company of men and women who better de- served a holiday trip, or possessed in a lar- ger degree the ability to enjoy one. The sacred impersonality which surrounds the Press prevents the naming of names. It
, however, be stated that there were, incliled in the party, representatives of the English and the French, the Scotch, Irish and Welsh—.and chat all maintained, throughout the excursion, relations as kindly and harmonious as _ the patriotic and optimistic Canadian could desire or hope from the ‘‘jarring elements” of which the population of his country is made up. If it were hinted that one or two of the party seemed at times a little too anxious to secure the Sest rooms at an hotel or the highest seats at the table, to be in strict accord with the dictates of good feeling and good taste, the charity which thinketh no evil instantly suggested that this was but an exhibition of the worki of the creditable spirit of newspaper enter- prise,—and there was consolation in the fact that the apparently more enterprising ** didn’t always get there.”

through it from the lake to the bay if a lock were not provided at one end of the canal. As it is, the passage for steamers and sail- ing craft, alike, is easy andsoonaccomplish- ed. The length of the canal is but three quarters of a mile, and once through the _canalthe beauties of the magnificent Arm of Gold begin to appear.
| At first the steamer’s way is through the midst of a group of islets covered for the ,inost part with scragg¥ wood. When these are passed the broadexpanse of the Big Bras D'Or in displayed and the high bold scenery on either shore. As the sun goes down the _ Shadows of the everlasting hills wre seen in | the quiet depths.
The most enthusiastic admiter of scenic | effects will usually respond with alacrity to the call to supper. It was so in the case of our tourist journalists.
After supper the hours of darkness were whiled away by means of songs, recitations and anecdotes. One of the latter will bear ‘repetition for the benefit of those who have not heard it. At the time of the is- ‘sue of farthings in Great Britain there was & general expression of wonderment throughout the kingdom as to the motives of the government for the issue of coins of Such small value. The subject was dis- cussed at alltheteatables. At one of these was Dr. Samuel Johnson, who sat persist- ently silent while the others talked. At ‘last the irascible old dictionarv-maker was ‘directly appealed to for his opinion. “Well,” said he, ‘my opinion is that the government made farthi in order that _the Scorch may be enabled to contribute to ‘the charities of the nation.”
The Marion reached “Grand Narrows” ,at about ten o’clock, and our party trans-
‘ferred themselves to the Grand Narrows
‘Hotel for the night, and were lulled to ‘sleep by the rippling of the waters on the beach at its front door.

Ask For Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla, and be sure you get it, when you want the best blood-purifier.
4 With its forty years of unexampled suc- cess in the cure of Blood Diseases, you can make no mis- take in preferring Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla
to any other. The fore-runner of mod- ern blood medicines, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is still the most pop- ular, being in great- er demand than all others combined.
“ Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is selling faster than ever before. I never hesitate to recommend it.””—George W. Whitman, Druggist, Albany, Ind.
“IT am safe in saying that my sales of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla far excel those of any other, and it gives thorough satisfac- tion.” — L. H. Bush, Des Moines, Iowa.
“ Ayer’s Sarsaparilla and Ayer’s Pills are the best selling medicines in my store. I can recommend them consciet- tiously.””"—-C, Bickhaus, Roseland, Ill.
“We have sold Ayer’s Sarsaparilla here for over thirty years and always recommend it when asked to name the best blood-purifier.”-— W. T. McLean, Druggist, Augusta, Ohio.
“I have sold your medicines for the last seventeen years, and always k2ep them in stock, as they are staples. ‘ There is nothing so wv for the youth- ful_ blood’ as Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.”—
Pharmacist,
R. L. Parker, Fox Lake, Wis.
“Ayer’s Sarsaparilla gives the best satisfaction of any medicine I have im I recommend it, or, as the Doctors say, ‘I prescribe it over the counter.’ It never fails to meet the cases for which I recommend it, even where the doctors’ prescriptions have been of no avail.”—C, F.

Mr. Bertram was born and bred in Prince Edward Is- land. He went to Cape Breton abour fifteen years ago to seek his fortune. His friends here will be glad to learn that he did not seck in vain. He has won for him- self an influential position in the Jaland of his adoption. As President of the Maritime Press Association, it was his duty to take the lead in making arrangments for the annual excursion. Asthe event proved, the work
could not possibly have been better done. The hearty manner in which the leading men of Cape Breton co-operated with him in the effurt to make the excursion of the Press Association at once enjoyable and profitable was the best evidence in the world of the estimation in which he is held.

Tuesdays and Fridays are the market days, and it waa one of our most pleasant visits to the market that we enjoyed during our stay. At an early hour large numbers of wagons from the sur- rounding farms filled with the very finest variety of vegetables of every description, in tact equalling any of the kind to be seen in any part ot the world. The market is open all day and we should judge that most of the roduce was disposed of. A very pleasing eature was the splendid array of flowers offer- ed for sale.
