Rh visiting stranger are efficiently conserved by Tourist Committees allied with the Chambers of Commerce. There is no provincial organisation as in New Brunswick, with associates in principal tourist towns.

The New Brunswick Tourist Association has its headquarters at 23, King Street, St. John. Its secretary will give information as to routes, connections, sporting outfits, and places to stay. There is a branch at 608, Queen Street in Fredericton.

The Publicity Agency in the Royal Bank Building, Charlottetown, serves as a general bureau for the somewhat limited tourist attractions of Prince Edward Island.

Cabs and Tramways.

The fare for cabs, and the hire of carriages and motor-cars for pleasure trips is less in Provincial towns than the price asked in places of corresponding importance in the States. In Halifax and St. John, sight-seeing vehicles leave at stated hours from positions near the principal hotels and offer a comprehensive tour of the city for a small sum. A pair of horses and a landau (four persons) may be hired for an entire afternoon's drive within city bounds for $5; a horse and buggy all day for $4; one-horse carriage, $1 an hour; two horse, $1.50.
