Prom wbat we could gather thse rajority of the' teunists wcre !ram Toronto, whene tbrough the countesy o! Mn. J. E. Aikinson, a Durbam County boy, and Presitient o! The Toronto Star, a map o! Uie blassom route appear- cd in Monday's Star alang wth a write-up. This map, which we pub- Iish in this issue, was carrieti by rnany o! the tourists anti fot one case of difficulty in fmnding the way was experienced. One Toronto tour- itt speaking to Mr. Oco. A. Steph- ens on the tour, stateti that he was a native o! Fergus, Ont., anti while Uic blossoms were net in f un bloom it was a revelation te hlm te see thc wonderful way in which Durbamn County orcharcis were careti for as comParet i wth Uiose in bis nativ countY. The bcauty a! the archards, even wtbout the full sbowung o! blossoms, was, hie saiti, weil worth the trip from Toronto. The Squain f arnly diti their duty splendidly iinforming teurista that the bloSSomaS had been delayeti by Cool weather anti many expresseti the fact that Uic!' woulti b. return- ing Ou Sunday te sec the wonderful display wben tbey waulti b. at their best.

The tour ibis year proveti a blggcr auccess for the anc day than it diti last year andtheUi entire blossorn wcek la asauneti af being a greater attraction anti ray benceforthbeb laoked upon as an arnual event. Sevenal roada bast yean were ini ns- lbei,.poen shape, but there la bandly anY bati noati this year. anti certain- ly noue that ceulti b. called inh any way impassble. It is rather remankable that very f ew local people went over the route. We are fsirmly o! Uic opinion that not bal!. or nearly bal!, o! thc People o! Bowmanville have been ever this route as mappcd oui, and thcy cannot conceive whaî their ou-n county bolds in rural bcauty unless ihey do. No doubi manly will take the opportuniiy of drivm2- around ibis Sunday when the blos- soins will be sn f ull bloom. We can assure ihem ihat thcy will find the trip wel worth while anti as beauti- fui as anything they have ever tra- veileti a hundreti miles ta sec in Peach Blossom Tîme in the Niagara peninsula.
