cant Illustration of the bitter feeling still
lingering that at the last session OF the
provincial parliament the present admin
istratlon, which Is the lineai inheritor of
these antlpathies. refused 10 have Do
minion day declared an official holiday
in the public schools.
Throughout the Dominion generally the
1st OF July has come TO be considered the
great holiday OF the year. So far as the
season Is concerned. happier choice OF
date could not have been made. Tho
queens birthday. coming after the final
departure of the long and weary winter, is
inexpresslbly grateful and is generally de-
voted TO plcnies and out OF door excur-
sions Of every kind. with military reviews
at the different ceRters of population.
IL is too early in the year. however. for
the different forms of sport TO be In full
swing. and nowadays the witnessing OF
games. races and athletic competitions OF
all kinds would seem to be the favorite
form Of public amusement.
But for all these the first day OF July Is
peculiarly propitious. and IL the day prove
fair throughout the land very large pro-
portion OF the inhabitants will certainly be
found taking part either as competitors
or spectators

looks TO Dominion day for the best gates
OF the season. and in arranging the sched-
between the clubs Is always for the privi-
lege Of having home game on that occa-
sion.
In many OF the cities and towns the mu-
nicipal authorities take charge OF the celc-
bration OF the day. and provide a lengthy
programme OF amusements, including ac-
cordlng 10 the facilities OF the place. re-
cattas. military reviews and sham fights,
horse and foot races lacrosse. cricket and
baseball matches. with firework displays
az night
One important feature OF the great ma
tlonal holiday in the United States is con-
spicuous by its absence in Canada. There
are no First OF July orations. The reason
for this probably lies not 80 much In the
lack of national spirit as in the comparn-
lively unromantic history which preceded
the union.
II must be admitted that there Is nothing
especially soul stirring about the bloodless
battles OF the political arena. One cannot
readily conceive a poet laureate finding in
spiration for his muse In the worldly strife
OF the hastings or In divisions Of the
house however close and exciting.
Yet while Canada may be congratulated
in not having had TO fight her way
through blood and smoke to a national
status. IL IS undoubtedly a pity that more
emphasis Is not laid upon the achieve
ment and the preparers OF programmes
for Dominion day celebrations would DO
well TO arrange for orations and poems
which should make fcrvent appeal 10 the
national spirit
