marty, for that had been forwarded TO
Quebec by the Medway, and these sixty
one pieces were what may be regarded
as the travelling wardrobe, apart from the
sporting paraphernalia referred to. When
at length the mails and baggage had been
brought to the wharf, the concourse of
people assembled were straining their
visionary organs for the coming Of the
Prince.
Not a moments time was wasted, for
almost in the wake of the last trunk his
Royal Highness appeared at the gang
way. His presence was 80 completely
distinct from anything in the way of dis.
play that it is doubtful if he would have
been recognized if he had not been at
tended by the Governor General and the
other personsges who had just gone on
board to welcome him. When his eyes
met the crowd he gracefully uncovered
his head, and with q smile of pleasure
and satisfaction made series of bows,
as much as to say, "How do you do?' to
each and every one. The response to all
this was a round of cheering from the
assembled multitude, followed by the
national anthem of God Save the
Queen" from the band of the seventy
eighth regiment
Ia company with the Governor Gene
raj the Prince walked up the wharf and
took seat in bsrouche standing at the
entrance to the steamers dock, the other
seats in the vehicle being occupied by
Colonel Elphinstose (the governor of
his Royal Highness), Sir John Young
and Lieutenant Governor General Doyle.
A second carriage followed, in which
we're seated the officials of the army and
navy before mentioned, and behind them
came the Highlanders of the guard of
honor. The party drove Immediately
to the Government House in Darlington
street, where they will remain the guests
of the Governor General until to.mor-
row.
The appearance of the Prince elected
universal admiration. He bears a strik-
ing resemblance of the Prince of Wales
when he was here, and the close likeness
to her Majesty is SO marked as to be dis
tingulshed at once. He is tall and sen-
der, with fine and faultlessly combed
head of brown hair, and his youthful face
is ornamented with au English pattern
of whiskers and moustache, highly cred
table to the physical development Of
young man of nineteen. The dress of
Prince Arthur was that of man of
more mature years, although it seemed
to become him. A neat and elegant
black dress coat, closely buttoned, pants
of light drab hue, "choker" collar Of
enormous size and black silk tile"
were the garments most conspicuous,
and each one seemed to contribute to |
render his appearances that of we'll |
dressed young man.
Late in the afternoon his Royal High
ness attended special religious service at |
the garrison chapel, where the Rev. Mr.. |
Edghill, the captain, officiated. The fact
that he (the Prince) inten led to be pres
ent was not generally known, and there
was, consequently, not much of crowd
present. Coming as he did on Sunday,
the royal party could hardly expect a
display very marked for enthusiasm;
but while there was an absence of pomp
aud splendor, the kind feeling of the
provincials toward her Majesty was very
plainly shown, and at the reception to-
morrow it will be generally uucorked
and given full and unrestricted flow.
The passengers on board the steamer
City of Pare speak in the highest terms
of the free and unsssuming manner Of
young Arthur during the voyage. There
was nothing exclusive or reserved in his
conduct, and be conversed freely and
pleasantly with every one and psrtook of
his meals at the regular table with the
other passengers.
