LONDON, May Notwithstanding lower
ing skies. showers of rain, heavy, murky at
mosphere and muddy roads, in the morning
an enormously large number of people wit
messed the ceremonies attending the opening
of the International Fisheries Exhibition at
South Kensington. The approaches to the
buildings were packed with carriages and
pedestrians at an early hour, and long before
noon the twenty-three acres OF buildings
were filled with spectators from all parts of
the world The details of ornamentation
and arrangement were not complete, owing
to the unexpectedly large amount of work
which the preparations entailed, but the
decorations were so managed that the imper-
LESSONS WERE in large degree, hidden from
view. The general effect of the scene was
grand and inspiring.
The Prince of Wales and sons reached the
main hall at 1910. Their entrance was the
signal for a most enthusiastic clapping of
hands and hearty cheers The dais the sta
ton to which the Prince was later conducted
by the exhibition officers, is a beautiful de-
sign. 1t is covered by handsomely wrought
canopy surmounted by crown while fish
| ing nets form fitting festoons. From this
| point the ceremony of introducing the royal
| party to the mysteries and beauties of the
| exhibition proceeded according 10 the pro-
gramme already outlined in these dispatches
From the conservatory the party were taken
| through the first hall of the exhibits-that
devoted to Great Britain-passing thence .di-
| rectly into the departments where there
| were displayed the treasures of the streams
the rivers, the lakes and seas OF the United
States and Canada. These were given con-
siderable attention and elected much favora-
| Bile comment.
The Populations of fishermen were drawn
| up in line of procession. The most conspic-
uous and picturesque of these were the In
dians of Canada United States Minister
| Lowell, who had Joined the royal party with
the other members of the diplomatic corps
was not the least interested observer of the
display.
After viewing several other exhibits the
| distinguished party returned to the dais
where the address of the committee was pre-
sented by the Duke of Richmond. He ex-
| planned the objects of the exhibition, that it
was intended not only to furnish an agree
| able and instructive display, but it was in
| tended the public should receive actual daily
| benefit; that the practical cookery of fish was
| to be illustrated by the National School of
| Cookery; that the committee kept steadily be-
fore them the fact that the exhibition was
for the millions, and announced that the ex-
hibition would be open several nights
of each week for the benefit of the
working classes. He cordially expressed
the gratitude of the committee for
the hearty manner in which applications for
| assistance in the undertaking had been re-
ceived and responded to by foreign govern
ments and by the colonies He then formally
babe the Prince of Wales and his party well
come TO the exhibition.
The Prince of Wales read his renlv He
expressed his great pleasure at being able
to assist at this ceremony, and regretted the
| unfortunate accident which prevented the
| Queen being present. He hoped the exhibit
ton would be the means of bringing to the
notice of the people the latest and most eff
Gent methods of securing the bounty OF the
streams, lakes and oceans, and would there
by be practical benefit to them. He dwelt
at some length on the importance of the life
saving section display, and commended it to
the attention of the Porte. In conclusion,
he conveyed the thanks of the Queen to all
the countries and colonies taking part in the
| display and to their representatives for their
untiring exertions in bringing the exhibit
ton to successful issue. He was warmly
| applauded. After the exercise the exhibit
ton was formally declared open.

honor of the international Fisheries Exhibit
| ton, the Prince of Wales said the coptribu-
tons of the United States to the exhibit
ton were especially deserving of credit

the toast, The Foreign Representatives"
cordially with which he had
proposed the toast snd said the
| kindness which he himself had met with in
England convinced him that he represented
an elder daughter of England rather than a
foreign country.
