Account for the Celebration

Of Dominion Day.
IT am here 10 give Seattle people spe-
c.ar invitation to come To Vancouver this
wear and help US celebrate Dominion day"
said Mr.. A. E. Sucking last night TO
post-In.elligencer reporter Mr.. Sucking
IL secretary OF the celebration committee
a. Vancouver. SO thoroughly Il his heart
in the work. 80 well ported Is he 10 all lis
details and 80 atlractiveIy does he present
them that were he to come I'm personal con-
tact with all the people OF Seattle during
hks brles so}ourn the hospitality OF Van
coaver might be taxed.
I'VE are rather warm-hearted people
over our way" continued Mr.. Sucking.
'and we shall see to Il that all your people
VINO come to the celebration have q good
time In fact We rather expect a good
number OF Americans this year, and We
have made cur plans Accordingly. We
have been at considerable pains and ex-
pense to carry out some OF these plans, and
we hope our American cousins will not
dIsaproint us by failing 10 enjoy them with
u
For instance there Is a big naval re-
view and demons sration on the first day.
July l. 1t took some work TO arrange for
that. The entire British North Pacific
squadron will take part In It. and I as
sure you II will be a sight worth seeing.
Inasmuch AZ the admiral il going 10 send
ore OF the warshins TO Seattle to
take part In your Fourth OF July
celebration IL seems to me only
fair that YOU should reciprocate by
sending 10 mp good crowd in honor of
the navy alone, 10 say nothing OF the 9TH
er exercises
In fac, we believe pretty strongly in re-
ciprocity. Now, Vancouver has always
sent down crowd 10 Seattle during your
Fourth of July celebrations, This year the
Canadian Pacific Is going TO run It's big
new liner. the Tartar. on an excursion
from Vancouver to Seattle and / conf
deutiy believe you Will have from 1000 to
! 20 visitors from our city alone. With the
present extremely cordial feeling between
the two kindred nations. ana as we ali
think tho two greatest In the world. an
interchange OF visits would be made under
particularly agreeable circumstances. In
fact 1t ii a sort OF open secret that the
naval maneuvers have been arranged
largely with this In view.
In addition 20 thts the two champion
lacrosse teams OF British Columbia. which
will play at Vancouver on July /. are also
coming To Seattle 10 take part in the cele-
hra;on. Why not see the game at Van
couyer as well as the one here? The other
features OF our two days programme speak
for themselves. The match race between
Gaudaur and Johnson. which will be- a
bona fide contest for the worlds champion
ship. will alone be worth travelling thou
sand miles 20 see. The international gun
tournament with be specially interesting TO
sportsmen. and will be participated In by
some OF your local crack shots. The vari-
oas boat races, from the Indian canoes up
tn the finest launches. will be very pic
turesque and interesting. Our total prizes
for the two days amount 10 moro than S.
so. and that amount does not represent
the amount Of work that has been done In
connection with the programme.
I'm extending thia invitation to our
American cousins there ia one very practi-
cal point which should like TO call atten-
ton to. viz. the question Of time and ex-
pense. The Seattle & Interna .tonal road
has announced an excursion 70 Vancouver
with round trip rate of 81. Passengers
nay leave Seattle either Thursday or FRI
say morning. and get hack 20 Seattle In
ample time for the celebration here
