A PLEASANT OUTING
Judge Faulkner Tells Something Of
His Tour in the North.
HISTORIC PLACES VISITED
He and u. S. Fish Commissioner Bowers
Take Yachting Cruise and Tour in the

New England States and Ianada.
AS noted in Wednesdays Evening
World, Hon. Il. Boyd Faulkner has
just returned from an extended tour
of the New ENGLAND States looking as
brown as berry and as clipper as an
admiral Of His Majesty's navy. Al
though hard student and devoting
most of his time TO the onerous duties
of circuit judgeship, the Judge Is
thoroughly good traveller and was
perfectly delighted with his trip. 10
a reporter of The Evening World the
Judge stated that the real pleasures
of his trip began in New York, where
he happened upon u. s. Fish Conn
missioner Bowers. whom he accom-
panied to the snmraer headquarters of
the Commission at Moods Hole, Mass.
Here the Commissioner and his fam
lily. assisted by Miss George Silvers
of this county, and Mr.. Dunlap, chief
clerk of the Fish Commission, dispens-
ed the most charming hospitality. For
several days the Judge accompanied
the Commissioner on his official
rounds in this locality and incidental
~ was initiated into some of the
mysteries of Isaac Walton $ art (of
which, by the way, Mr.. Bowers is a
past master) in the waters OF Vine
yard Sound and Buzzards Bay made
famous by the piscatorial feats OF
Joseph Jefferson and Grover Cleve-
land. The Judge pronounces the
Commissioner not only the ''prlnc s
OF good fellows" but vertlable
ARCHAEOLOGICAL encyclopaedia.
From Woods Hole trip was made
by rail to Plymouth, with its wide
avenues and spreading elms, its
museum and time worn rock Boston,
with its Faneuil Hall it's Haymarket
Square and legends of Revolutionary
days; Cambridge, with its University
and Agassiz Museum, through which
travellers were courteously shown by
DR.. Woodwork; Salem Lonn; Man
chester-o the Sea; and Gloucester,
the great fish market of the Atlantic
coast. The immense limestone quar-
ries at Hockland were next visited
and inspected; then Booth Bay came
i'll for share of their attention, as
there is to be found the monster lobs-
ter pound containing %, 900 Holsters
for market and while the travellers
yet tarried an incoming vessel dis
charged its cargo of some 5000 more.
Seven sardine plants are also located
at Booth Bay, and expert female
packers receive 81, rs per day for put
ting those slippery little fellows
away IN oil for our ten O'Clock bite.
Castine, a quaint little seaside re-
sort was next visited and its old
French fort explored. Bar Harbor,
with it aristocratlc air and beautiful
homes, came in next in order for
the inspection, and then, taking the
outside passage, they proceeded to
Portland, the great shipping center,
Longfeliow's "City by the Sea. 4"
Portland is truly remarkable city
her wealth her capital, is only exceeded
by Yonkers in her public and private
charities she is only surpassed by
Baltimore she has a greater proper
tion of paved streets to her total mile
age than any other city in America I;
she eXpends more money on her inter
nal affairs, and has a better electrical
equipmaut for all purposes, than any
CT. - ne United States. Leaving
Poctland the White Mountains were
next explored and splendid view of
Mt. Washington, 5000 feet above sea
level was obtained from the Fabyans
hotel. Then came Quebec, the city
founded by Champlain in 1908 on the
site OF an Indian village called Stada-
coma. The form of Quebec is nearly
that of q tringle, the Plains of
Abraham forming the base, and the
rivers ST. Lawrence and st Charles
the sides. 1t has a population of
about 10000. What is called the
upper town is strongly fortified, con-
tanning within its limits the Cltadelof
Cape Diamond, the most formidable
fortress in America, and high on the
walls of which is the following IN
scription q Here Major General Mont
gomerv fell, Dec. 81 l775''. Among
the places of most interest visited
We're the magnificent Chateau Fronte
nae hotel built at cost of 81 600, 600 ;
