A ROYAL JUNKET
ROUND THE WORLD.


There was great stir and hustle in
Canada recently because the duke ana
duchess of Cornwall and York were
looking over their prospective do
mains. All the British colonies have
felt the same sensation, and Canada
has had it before at rare intervals.
But the inspection tour of an heir ap-
parent is notable event, and Canada
has done brayely in her efforts to cor
vince Eng ishmen that the dominion
Is not, after all, dreary, icy, uninhaD-
tied waste, a 'gcnteel Siberia" The
royal pair did a great deal of travel
ing In Canada, sufficient, indeed, to
open their eyes to what an immense
country it is. In Canada alone the
duke and duchess Travelled more than
1000 miles, ana this at the end Of a
trip around the world. The dominion
was first crossed from east to west,
and on the return trip southern ana
central Canada were visited. Inc itIn-
eTary in Canada was as follows: Que
bee to Montreal 172 miles; Montreal
to Ottawa, 100 miles; Ottawa to VictO-
ria, 2,870 miles; Victoria to Toronto,
2,769 miles; Toronto to Niagara, S.
miles; Niagara to Kingston, 24G miles,
Kingston to st. John, ga miles; ST.
John to Halifax, 275 miles.
Between the duke Of Cornwall and
York and King George Ill Of revoIu-
tiOnaTy fame there are only three gen
erations of the royal famiIy-tne duke
Of Kent, son Of George Ill; Queen Vic
loria, daughter Of the duke Of Kent;
King Edward VII, son Of Victoria, ana
then George, duke If Cornwan and
York, son Of King Edward VII. From
George Ill, the heads Of this direct
line have all visited Canada, with one
exception, that Of Queen Victoria.
For time the duke Of Kent lived in
British North America; the prince Of
Wales paid the American continent
visit in 1860, and his heir has been
the dOminions guest. Canada has
also been visited by three other mem
bers Of the royal famiIy-by Prince
Arthur, brother Of the king and now
the duke Of Connaught. by the mar
ahioness Of LOrne, and by the late
Prince Edward, elder brother of the
duke Of Cornwall and York. The last
visit Of the duke Of Cornwall and York
to Canada was made in 1850, when he
was known as Prince George of Wales

ternatiOnaI exhibition of 1881, this Is
splendid edifice, which will accOmmo-
date many thousand guests. Very
dainty were the invitation cards, show
ing the young queen Australia ap-
preaching the old queen to be crowned.
The great event of the dukes visit
took place Oh Thursday, May 9, when
be opened the first parliament in the
exhibition building, Melbourne AbouC
1900 spectators were present.
Sydney and Brisbane were visited
and everywhere the royal party was
received with enthusiastic loyalty.
Crossing to New Zealand, the capital
and principal cities welcomed the duke
and duchess. Hobart. Tasmania, was
reached on July 3. Returning to Aus
tralia the ODhir proceeded to Adelaide,
and from there on her way to Fireman.
tie the ship encountered a severe
storm and was compelled TO seek shell

said farewell to Australia at Fireman.
tie on Friday, July &c, the Ophir sail
ing for Mauritius On August 5 the
Ophir reached Port Louis. Mauritius,
and on Tuesday, August y, entered
the harbor of Durham. Natal, south
Africa. A call was made at SimOns-
town and at noon, August 10, the duke
and duchess and suite arrived at Cape
Town, where they received a most on
thusiastic welcome. On August % the
Ophjr sailed from Cape Town for Can
ada. The war ships Juno and ST.
George, which had escorted the Ophir,
were relieved upon arriving at st. Vim
cent, and were replaced by the Diadem
and Niobe. Then the journey was re-
sumed until the Ophir plowed the
waters Of the S.. Lawrence and landed
her passengers on Canadian soil.

AN INTERESTING SPOT.
Point Where Colorado, Utah, New
Mexico and Arizona Meet.

Point Where Colorado, Utah, New
Mexico and Arizona Meet.
It may seem a broad statement to
one who hears it for the first time
that the only place where four states,
territories or provinces join is that
point where Colorado Utah, New
Mexico and Arizona meet. Not only
is this the only -four corners" in the
United States, but it is the only
corner" of it's kind in the world.
Although the locality is unique in
this respect it is one not often visited
as it is not easy of access. Few
tourists care to endure the hardships
of a pilgrimage to see the monument
which marks the spot. The stone was
erected by the United States govern
ment surveyors, and is similar to
those used to mark their boundary
lines. On the simple shaft in the
center of the rocks is inscribed the
names of the states and territories
which touch the spot
The monument is reached by a trail
which leads from the road between
Navajo Springs and Aneth, Utah. The
trail leaves the road near SCOTS
trading post, close to the Utah line
and crosses the San Juan river Then
it's course is along a spur of the Cor
RIA mountains until it comes to the
top of the spur, where the shaft is
situated 1t is in the midst of a coun-
try once densely populated by the
cliff jewellers. The ruins of their
homes are all about this section. The
point is nearly a hundred miles from
Mancos, Col, the nearest railroad
town. Were it not for the rocks q
wagon could be placed so that the
four wheels would be in as many diff
ferent states.
The monument was destroyed few
years ago by the Navajos, but was re
built last summer-St. Louis Re.
