The Lord Nelson Hotel, while operated under the direction of the Canadian Pacific Railway is the result of a sincere effort on the part of the people Jf Halifax who have long been working fot a modern hostelry which would adequately take care of the business which offered in the city. It is situated in the heart of the city and fronting on the Botsanmical Gardens that have helped to make this old city famous. § 6. W, Beatty, chairman and president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, in speaking as guest of honor at the banquet which marked the official opening of the Lord Noelson . Hotel at Halifax, referred to the tourist attractions of Nova Scotia as being second to none on the continent. This from as well travelled a man as the head of the World‘s Greatest Travel System was a decided apâ€" preciation. "In addition to the opportunities for sport which are unsurpassed and attract tourists from both the United States and Canada, you have the historic associations such as typified by the Evangeline legend which the Canadian Pacific and Dominion Atlantic Companies have successfully preserved and featured. It seems to us only right that the railway which came into existence as a fulfilment of one of the terms of Confederation sghouwld encourage such travel to your cities and other historic places," he said. "That travel has grown apace during the last few years and it was because of this fact among others that at the soliâ€" citation of your ibusiness men we joined with them in the building of this hotel. It is for the same reason that we are building a modern hotel with other tourist facilities at Digby." Within and without, the appearance of the hotel reflects great credit on its architects and builders. In building and in decoration it is Georgian in character, and throughout the hotel and particularly in the public rooms, a most successful efifort has been made to express the period recalled by the historic name associated with it. Immediately inside the front doors is a handsome and spacious lobby, which at once sives the keynote of Georgian decoration. The hotel offices are hore as alsn ars Above, the Lord Nelson viewed as from the Botanical Gardens. Inset is a very charming corner of the lounge, showing the bust of Lord Nelson in the corner. Mr. _. W. Beatty was the guest of honor on the formal opening.

The furniture also is of stout oak. Other features of this floor are a barber shop, beauty shop and the usual public services.

The bathrooms dnd general plumbing and heating arrangements throughout are up to the most modern standard as also are all thoe facilities for nublic service. other public services such as elevator lobby, teleâ€" phone room, cigar shop, etc. The mezzanine floor and ladies waiting room leads up from this, and on one side of the lobby is a short flight of steps leading up to the assembly lounge. In this room and in the adjacent assembly hall the attempt to recapture the atmosphere of two hundred years ago has been particularly sucâ€" cessful. The chief feature is the fine fireplace over which is an excellent copy in oils of the full length portrait of Lord Nelson which was paintéd shortly before his death. In one corner stands a fine copy of the well known bust of this hero, and on the center table is a splendid model of his ship "The Victory." The end of this room opens into the assemibly hall which is large enough to seat about 250 people comfortably. At one end is an ample stage with the usual dressing rooms and «disappearing footlights.. Leading from the other side of the lobby up a short flight of marble steps is a foyer, and beyond that the main Gdining room. On the floor beneath the lobhbhy are a series of fine shops opening on the street, and here also is the spacious grill, which in keeping with the nautical flavour notable elsewhere in the building, is termed ‘"The Ward Room‘".

Remarkable Series of Natural History Tales In despatches from Sudbury and in Sudbury Star last week there appeared a most remarkable series of stories that would seem to suggest that either weather, the animal kingdom, the tenure of life in the country or the Sudbury newspapermen, or the whole bunch of them, had been turned upâ€" side down. Mr. M. St. Michael is creâ€" dited with picking pussy willows in full bud. Four black bears are said to have scrambled out of a den they had made and knocked down a farmer who happened to be standing nearby. The farmer is stated to have gotten back on his feet and shot and killed each one of the bears. A fullâ€"grown moose at Hornepayne (if you believe all you see in the despatches) wanâ€" dered into the heart of the town and was shot by some hunters who were all ready to go to the bush to try and rouse up some moose so that the game animals could be properly chased and killed. Owls in the neighbourhood of Spanish river are actually stated to have attacked men and injured them. One owl is mentioned as tackling a whole henhouse full of poultry. Motorists claim that foxes are enâ€" croacning upon the highway near Capreol and other points. Dr. Maxiâ€" millian Langsner may have to be called in to see what it is all about.
