salutes in succession. The wharyes
all along the harbor and citadel were crowd

followed the vice regal party. The feet at

GOOD Save the Queen The
sight was really magnificent. In the
harbor the vessels wero decked gaily with
bunting. The vice regal party were on deck
coming in. The weather is very fine and
the city is well prepared for grand recep-
ton.
The triumphal arches, twenty in number,
look well, while elaborate decorations appear
on many private dwellings,. There is a mag
nifcent display of bunting throughout the
city and on vessels in port. The city is
thronged with people from all parts of the
Dominion and United States. Special trains
are hourly arriving, bringing many from ad-
jacent towns.
Thousands of people are on the citadel
viewing the scene, and steamers, barges and
boats, gaily dressed with bunting, are sailing
over the harbor. As the Sarmatian passed
up along the head of the wharves, the people
thereon saluted the vice regal party with
deafening cheers. The demonstration was
not nearly SO imposing as it would have been
line as at first intended. The people are full
of enthusiasm and the welcomes of the
Marquis of Lorne and his royal wife are
hearty and sincere.
LEAVING TIE VESSEL.
The marquis and princess left the Sar-
matian at lao, accompanied by number of
barges, and were conveyed to the landing,
the war vessels firing royal salotes and their
yards being manned. The vice regal party
was received by the Duke of Edinburg,
General McDougell, Vice Admiral Inglefeld,
Lieut.. Gov. Archibald, the principal mem
bers of the Dominion government and many
naval and military and civic officials. The
cheering on the landing of the marquis and
princess was most enthusiastic. The pro-
cession was at once formed and moved
through the principal streets to the province
governor general. An address of welcome
was then presented by the mayor and cor
poration, to which the marquis replied.
The procession was then reformed and went
by circultous route to the Admiralty House,
the streets the whole way being gaily
decorated and lined with people, who cheered
the marquis and princess heartily.
THE OFFICIAL RECEPTION.
the steamer Edgar Stuart, which had been
secured for the purpose, was boarded by
numerous representatives of the press, steamed
down the harbor. The British feet of six
ships of the line were moored in the upper end
of the harbor in two lines headed by the Belle
rophen on the Halifax side and by the Black
Prince on the Dartmouth. AS the Edgar Stuart
steamed around the stern of the Sarmatian,
the princess, dressed in black, with the Mar
quis by her side, was seen standing on the deck.
As the Sarmation moved slowly up the the har-
Dor, royal salute was thundered forth from
eighteen ten-pound guns on Georges island
fort, and were answered, gun for
gun, from York redoubt at the
mouth of the harbor. The heavy guns, on the
salutlng from the platform of tho citadel
THUNDERED FORTH THEIR WELCOME,
and were answered by the guns of the feet
lying off the dock-yard. The occasion was a
decidedly inspiring one. When the royal
standard was displayed by the Sarmatian, the
feet hoisted their colors and flung out lines OF
bunting. The yards were manned from the
lowest to the main truck as they were ap
preached. They presented a grand appearance
and as, one by one, the five war ships were near
the tars roared forth hearty and enthusiastic
cheers in old British! fashion. The band of the
latter played God save the Queen" The Sar
NATHAN replied by a Scottish air from the pipes
After the Sarmatian had moved in among the
feet, the press representatives landed at the
Cunard's wharf, and went to the dock-yard
where a stand had been prepared for them. The

evergreens and flowers and bunting displayed
in all directions.
