distant by wagon-road 35 miles from Annapolis, the nearest sizeable town, the service is faultless, thanks to the genius of the charming and capable woman who presides as mistress of the club community.
Minard's cottage camp is also on Kedgemakoogee Lake; there is another resort affected by sportsmen at Milford, on the road from Annapolis (15 miles).
In the hotels of large towns the Knights of the Road hold sway in the office, and pre-empt the attention of the Hebes of the dining-room. In truth, one must share the verandah with members of the self-confident, loquacious fraternity at all but the strictly tourist hotels, of which there are regrettably few in proportion to the area and attractions of the Provinces.
The principal hotel at Moncton, the Brunswick, is set among paternal shade trees opposite the railroad station and is a genial, roomy house. At Shediac, near-by, is the Weldon, a summer hotel not far from Northumberland Strait. The hotels of Prince Edward Island are with few exceptions distinctly mediocre. The Victoria and the Queen at Charlottetown have the best rooms and the largest patronage. One could wish here, as in other towns of the Provinces, that less was attempted, and more achieved. The Clifton at Summerside is quite individually good.
