The Governor-General aud Princess were re-
ceived everywhere with demonstrations of re-
spect and devotion as their carriage passed
through the streets. The procession was
not at all imposing; lines of carriages
and files of civil societies could not well be-
The Marquis and Princess alighted at the
Admiralty House, where they remained until the
hour appointed for dining at the Government
House. This was the social event TO winch all
ladies of the Province have been looking forward
for weeks. Ladies were required to wear low
necked dresses with short sleeves, and 10
dispense with Court trains Gentlemen were
simplv asked to appear in full dress. Some
ladies here have been disposed to rebel
AGAINST these formalities, on the ground that
tie climate of the Province does not favor exposure
of neck and arms. Climatic arguments have, how
ever, been Of no avail. The drawmg-room was after
the pattern of the receptions of the Prince
of Wales. The Princess wore rich black
velvet dress, trimmed with clair de lune
aud let; underneath was a satin and SIX
ribbed petticoat, her head dress was diamond
tiara with feathers, and her veil ornaments were
diamonds Her decorations were the orders of Vic
toria Albert and India. The Marquis wore Wind
sor uniform, and held his hat in bis hand. Ihe
guests with their cards were passed by two military
officers to the private secretary, VINO an
nOunCed their names. The right hands OF those
presented were ungloved the introduction was ac-
knowledged by bow, and neither the Marquis nor
the Princess shook hands. There were 800 guests.
The Princess called for her carriage before mid
night. At the dinner which preceded the drawing
room there were fifty guests.

LONDON Oct. 29.-You will speedily have the OPP
portunity of welcoming to America a number of
well known English journalists who are going to
Canada (which is certainly i'll Amerca) to describe
the reception of the Marquis of Lorne and his wife,
The Editor of WdWiir tells us that Mr..
Lucy is to represent The Daily Ners; and
as Mr. Lucy and the editor of Mayfair are
commonly supposed TO be the same person,
this ought to be true Mr. Lucy is the clever
author of the " Under the Clock" series of Parla-
mentary sketches, which secured good many read
ers to The World at its start. He published sue
cessful book of similar material under the title of
"Men and Manner in Parliament" and ranks high
among descriptive writers. He says that Mr. Sala.
now in Paris, is going for The Daily 1ele-
ordpk and will sail from Havre, that you
may see that famous letter-writing veteran in New
York. The Illustrated London Ne,cs sends Mr. Melton
Prior; The Graphic, Mr. Sydney Hall and the loyal
British public will once more regale itself on pen
and pencil pictures of rega-Or at least vce-regal
festivities. There is nothing it likes SO much.
