Plant Line Travel Immense. The last departures from Boston of the three Plant Line steamers La Grande Dutchesse, Halifax and Florida, have been the heaviest of the season and sim- ply illustrate the popularity of a sea trip especially with something worthy of in- terest at the other end of it. All enjoy the quaintness of Halifax as well as its hospitality, and those who go byond are amply charmed with the scenery. A
trip through the Straits of Canso, with its river like course for nearly 60 miles. is alone wurth the trip to say nothing of the side trip through the Brasd'Or Lakes or a short sojourn on Prince Edward Is- land where the latch string is always out. Stany are taking thexe trips iu economi cul way by avoiding stateroum charges and taking berths in the cabin which every ticket includes. They get the »ame privileges on board as do stateroom passengers and an equal chance to enjoy that beautiful expanse of blue water ax well as that heath giving ozone so well known to lovers of the sea, Send to the Plant Line offices, 200 Washington street, or 20 Alantic avenue, Boston, for illus- trated advertising telling all about it.
