French and American warships, and the tumultuous demon strations of 5o,0o0 people. massed upon the truly royal terraced heights of the city.
 It was spectacle of truly royal spiendor. The latest type of British preadnought with tiSs Royal standard flying. came to anchor among the double column of foreign wafships and the Prince was welcomed ashore by the Governor General of Canada. Premier Laurier and the attending dignitaries, flanked by thousands of soldiers and a multitude Of people.
 It was 2:46 this afternoon when the crowds assembled on the cliffs, saw the Prince of Wales fleet emerge from the mist far down the river. Immediately the guns of the warships began to thunder, the British, American and French ships firing their royal salutes together while every ship hoisted the royal standard and broke out a mass of color from stem to stern. The fn- domitabie advanced ma3esticalIy. with sailors and marines ranged along the gun deck. As she swung alongside the New Hampshire. the colossal magni- tude and power of the British ship. stood out in bold relief against the American battleship which looked like |a delicate white yacht beside this truly monstrous engine of destruction. Back of her came the Minotaur,. another naval colossus.

 At { o'clock, the battleships again roared a salute as the Prince disem- parked from his ship and came ashore He wore the uniform of an admiral with waving white plume and dark coat faced with gold embroidery.

The Prince King Edward vi, He fa below medium stature with rather thin features and close cropped yellow Saxon beard. trimmed to a point. His face wore q blessed smile at the echoipg shouts of the people, the rattle of saliiting arms and the strains of the British national anthem. One of the first glimpses the Prince got as he stepped ashore, was a bevy of English, French and American women in beautiful toilettes ranged in terraced seats before the landing stage including Mrs. FairbaniSs, wife of the Vice President and Mrs. Cowles, wife of the Admiral and sister, of President Roosevelt. tt7
