ors entered the Canadian end of the
tunnel and in just three and one half
minutes the train reached the American
end. The train was drawn by mon
ster locomotive built expressly for the
occasion, weighing 100000 pounds.
At the depot the guests disem-
barked, when Mayor McIlwain made
brief welcoming address, to which
Sir Henry Tyler responded. The
excursion train chen returned to
Sarnia, where $50 people sat down to a
banquet given in honor of Sir Henry
Tyler. Everything was gotten up
in the most elaborate manner. Toasts
were responded to by Sir Henry Tyler,
Sir John Ross, Gov. Winans, of Michi-
gan, Senator Palmer, of Illinois,
Erastus Wiman and others. The tun-
mel will not be used for general traffic
until October 1.
THE tunnel is the longest river tunnel in the
world. 1t is $3.50 feet long. From the Ameri-
can cutting to the river edge is 1,sOo feet
and from the Canadian cutting to the river
edge is 1850 feet, and the distance
across the river is 1880 feet The

thirteen of which and a key form cir.
Gle. The segment dimensions are: Length
feet 10 inches; width IL inches: thickness
inches, with f1anges inside inches deep and
X inches in thickness. Their total weight is
% 900 tons. The segments are bored and Sc
cured in place with bolts seven-eighths OF an
inch in diameter and weighing in all 1900 OO
pounds. The outside diameter of the tunnel
Is 81 feet and % feet inside. The soil exca-
ployment has been steadily furnished to 700
men since first the work Of construction be
gan and costs complete about g, ,0O0,0O. 1t Is
q year ago since the engineers, who had been
working toward each other from opposite
sides Of the river, fitted their hydraulic shields
together and shook hands fathoms be-
low the surface. The approaches and
railway tracks have been completed
since that day. The Grand Trunk people be-
lieve that when the tunnel is in actual use it
will offer facilities for through communication
between Chicago and all points east which will
be greatly appreciated by passengers and by
freight shippers. 1t shortens the distance to

most magnificent ever seen in English waters,
the British squadron Of escort, however, fur

both British and French, were spiendidly deco
rated, while their armaments were In the best
possible order. Sailors lined the yards and
officers in gold lace and brilliant uniform were
conspicuous amid the more sober attire Of the
rank and file. Queen Victoria looked brighter
and happier than during the kaiser's visit. per-
haps because she had recovered from the slight
cold that then troubled her. In military and
ma val matters Queen Victoria Ia never perfume
tory. She always shows a genuine interest IN
battalions and battle ships, and she made many
inquiries Is to the French vessels, their COM
manders and armament, whlie the Duke of
Edinburgh and the Duke of Connaught were
not the less inquisitive. Owing probably TO his
being the brotber-in-law Of the car, the Duke
of Edinburgh received an extra share Of French
cordiaiity, fact which did not escape the at
tention of the British. In the evening Admiral
Gervais and some OF bis officers viii dine with
the queen at Osborne.
