 weather was cold and bleak when the Alabamians crossed the St. Lawrence River to Quebec in the grey, dark atmos- ! phere of a July morning, climbed the I precipice of Cape Diamond a sheer 365 feet from the waters edge, and regis ! tered at the Chateau Frontenac the show | place of Canada. where one is treated well if one has much money to spend regardless of how it is spent The Stay in Quebec. Nearly two days were spent in Quebec, ! and they were days of great enjoyment. 1 Trips were made to the famous shrine of St. Anne de Beaupre, to Montmorency Falls, Kent House. the Plains of Abra- 1 ham, and other points famous in his- l tory.

 When the special train left Quebec We'd nesday afternoon many> homesick Ala bamians felt good as they had then start ed to retrace their steps, Montreal was reached at 2 p. m. and the good Cana dians were there to meet the Alabamians. They had a brass band and a company of the Highland Cadets with them. The band played and the "Kilties" drilled for the edification of the Americans. The newspaper men of Montreal passed through the cars and presented each lady of the party with box of fine candy. Toronto was reached at a. m.

 Niagara Falls was visited by way of a steamer across Lake Ontario. and at night the party returned to Toronto and left day afternoon.
 The party remained in Chicago until Saturday evening, when the special train left for Alabama.
 The attention shown the party in Can ada was extended because it represented the newspapers of Alabama, and it was deeply regretted that so many persons were in the party and accepted the at- tentions under false pretenscs. Birmingham Representatives. Referring to a statement heretofore published by the Advertiser. Secretary Rountree of the Press Association said that certificates were made by Alabama newspapers for all persons in the party, and that in view of these certificates he was powerless to remedy the situation. Speaking of the exceptionally large num- Der of persons in the party from Bir- mingham, he said that representatives were in the party from the Educational Exchange, the Labor Arbitrator, the La Dor Advocate Dixie Manufacturer, Dixie Home, christian Advocate, the Ensly En- terprise, the Christian Companion, the Wylam New Era, the Ledger, the News anu other Birmingham publications. The Birmingham Ledger had three representa- tives and the Birmingham News was rep resented by two ladies. In fact, most of the Birmingham publications were repre- scented by young women, large percent age of them being school teachers.
 Several Montgomery persons were in the party. They made their arrangements through the Prattville Progress, the Ope- lika Post, and the Union Springs Herald. Two young ladies of Birmingham had cer- tifcates from the Alabama Odd Fellow, published in Montgomery.
