dences of appreciation were heard from
all sides. The exhibition had continued
for over an hour and the vast throng re-
manned with interest undated, as they
were anxious to see the Illuminated pict-
ure of Queen Victoria. The picture was
mounted on a large frame and at the
right and left were the American and
English flags. The match was applied
| and soon the picture and the flags ap-
peared through the smoke and fire. At
the sight of the Queens portrait and the
| illuminated flags the crowd cheered, the
band struck up the air eGod Save the
Queen" and concluded with stThe Star
Spangled Banner
This concluded the programme and
then came the work of transporting the
vast multitude to the city. At II O'Clock
all hands were safely on board the cars
and gong sounded for the return trip.
