Restaurant) is a very attractive little town of 1686 inhab., on the Cornwallis River, with, the headquarters of the Dominion Atlantic Railway and several mills and factories. Excellent fishing and shooting are obtained in the vicinity. FROM KENTVILLE 10 KINOSPORT, 14 M., railway in »/4 hr.

King port (Kingsport Hotel, $ 1 1/4. Canning may be made the starting-point of a delightful drive to the Loot-Off (corny, above) and (9 M.) Cape Slomidon, the massive promontory, 670ft. high, in which the North Maintain (p. 126) ends ('View from the top). Kingsport, with its fine sandy beach, nestles in a recess of Miuas Basin and promises to become a favourite seaside-resort. A very charming excursion may be made from Kingsport by the daily steamer of the Dominion Atlantic Railway Steamthip Line to Parrsboro (1 1 2/ hr.). The boat passes close to the foot of Cape Blomidon, affording the beat view of this majeatic promontory. Between Blomidon and Cape Sharp, where the strait between the Minas Bay and Minas Channel is only 4 M. wide, the tide rushes wiih tremendous velocity. Away to the W. lies Cape Split, twisted into its present position, says Micmac legend, by the demigod Qlootcap, whose favourite haunt was the Basin of Minas. Aa we approach Parrtboro (sec p. 76) we obtain a good view of the rugged Cumberland coast, off which lie the Five Jtlands (p. 76), while in the background rise the Cobequid Hills (p. 16). Stage-coaches run twice weekly from Kentville to (46 M.) Clieiter (p. 87), passing diisperenu Lake and running through a picturesque district to the Atlantic Coast.
