week, but today their numbers seem to
have been trebled for every street in
the upper and the lower towns was
packed with holiday crowds.
1t was between three and four o'clock
when the booming of the guns in a
royal salute at the Citadel announced
that His Royal Highness had departed,
and minute or two later the carriages
bearing the royal guests began to ar
rive at the foot of tn Champlain
monument by way of st. Louis street.
The various personages were heartily
cheered as they arrived, and many
Canadians Joined with numerous Anne
rican citizens in acclaiming Vice-Prest-
dent Fairbanks, the representative OF
the United States. Dressed in top hat
and frock coat, the Vice-PresidenC
reared his giant six-feet form in the
carriage, and bowed his acknowledge
ments right and left.
Lord Roberts drove up in a motor
car with his daughter and one or two
friends, and he had a perfectly wonder
full reception, for already here in Que
bee 'Bobs' has become the general ia
vorite of the people, as he is the idol
of the British army.
Two companies of white-helmeted,
relocated dragons galloping down st.
Louis street heralded the state carriage
and its postillions, in which rode the
Prince of Wales and his aide-de-camps
and two companies of dragons also
trotted behind it.
Cheer after cheer went up from the
vast crowd as His Royal Higbness

at the end of the Chateau and walked
to the dais erected under the Champ

dragons drew up into a double line,
the horses, chatting their bits and
tossing their heads, forming pretty
sight.
To the right the piper band of the
4Sth Highlanders of Toronto played the
National Anthem as the Prince passed
while at the back was a guard of honor
of the same regiment, in kits.
After His Royal Highness had taken
his place on the dais, he received
Mayor Gerneou and the oldermen Of
the City Council, shaking hands ant
saying pleasant word to each as they
passed before.
The proceedings that followed were
very simple, but the speeches, never
theless, were notable. The Prince,

appreciation of the significance of tn,
occasion, and by marked diplomats

The Prince took an elevated chair IL
the center, accompanied by Counties
