coach of the train, so that their royal
highnesses may have an uninterrupted
view of the superb scenery through
which the train will pass. This shell
tered observation platform win be n de-
lightful point of vantage, from which
to view the charming bays and bold
headlands of the northern shore of lake
Superior; the seemingly illimita5le
stretch of plain; through which the
train will journey for 900 miles between
Winnipeg and the Rockies; and the
wonderful mountains, which make ole
long, enchanting panorama of the clos
ing 600 miles of the trip.
The Cornwall is IS feet 615 inches in
length, with width of 10 feet 8 inches, an
extreme height of IA feet, and a weight
of almost 60 tons. 1t contains reception
room, boudoir, dining room and kitchen
The reception room opens directly on to
the observation platform, and is the larg-
est room of the suite. 1t is paneled in
CircaSsian walnut, and while it is undec-
Grated save for a few ornamental mold
ings, it gives the effect of extreme rich
ness, and is in admirable taste. The CELL
ingS are finished in dead gold, and the
holdings and ornaments are just touched
with gold and blue, the decorations being
of the Louis XIV. style. Then hangings
and drapings are of dark blue velvet,
Wilton of a quiet, grey-green shade, into
whose heavy texture the toto sinks with
out making a sound. The sofa, arm
chairs, table, eScritoire and other articles
OF furniture are upholstered in blue vel
vet to match the draperies. eThe plano
is of Canadian manufacture and very
perfect instrument. One feature of the
ear is it's admirable light and airy appear
ance, this being due to the eight large
plate-glass windows of the side, together
with the glass panels of the door and rear
wall.
The duchess boudoir is between the
reception and dining rooms, half way
along the corridor adjoining them. Its
prevailing shade is a pearl grey. The
panels are painted la Watteau The
lattice work of the ceiling, by which
ventilation is secured, as We'll as the or
naments of the panels are toucaed lightly
with gold. The draperies are Of light
blue MORE, and divans, chairs, ana
table are gilt to match the panls. This
little boudoir on wheels will be the envy
OF every woman who sees it, nothing
more perfect of its size could be imag gin
ed. Shattle has surpassed himself in his
work upon the ten panels which adorn
the walls; the dainty table tn reading
lamp and chairs are all heavily gilt, and
adjacent to it is a most complete toilet
almost to the floor, practically chevaI
glass. The front of the car has been de-
voted to a dining room.
This room is finished in African Coro-
mandel, ornamental cartouches in has re-
lief displaying at one end the armorial
bearings of the king, and at the other
the blended coats of arms of the duke
and duchess, while the arms OF the Do
minion, and the family badge of the
duke embellish the remaining walls of
the room. The draperies are OF green
velvet, and the decorations of the panels
are in shades of gold and green to
match. The upholstering is, however, of
a warm, brown tone. The dining table
is large enough to accommodate eight
persons. A candelaorum of electric fix
lures will cast a suTuued light upon the
table. The forward part of the car is
devoted to pantry, kitchen, store room
and other necessary offices.
The perfection of the arrangements is
as conspicuous in gle kitchen and pantry
of the royal car as in any part of the
train. 1t is in reality a model kitchen
that We have here. Smaller in size, in
deed, than those found in palaces, but
not a. whit less complete. The china
comes from the Copelands and is so ex-
qu!site that. connoisseur would go into
raptures over it. 1t is perfectly plain,
not having even the ducal crest. The
silver service was fashioned by Fixing
ton, and is of the same make, though it
differs slightly in design, from that sup
piled the H. M. s. Ophir. The design is
Queen Anne. All the glassware has been
specially manufactured by Webb, of
Stourbridge, and is most delicate and
beautiful
