he QUAINT OLD CITY QUEBEC, SHOWING THE ANCIENT

QUEBEC, July 20.-The British
lion will roar loudly in this quaint
est historic town of English
speaking North America during the
celebration of the ter-centenary of
the first settlement by Champlain
which began July 10 and will con-
tinue the remainder Of the month.
All Canada is coming or wants to
come, and half dozen special
trains from the states every day
will bring thousands Of Americans.
With all the pomp of historic,
nava and military pageantry, the
pages of history will be turned
back to show the world, in a re-
markable series of dramatic pic
lures, the progress of civilization
in the North, first under the eagles
of France, then under the lion of
England. Approximately $4,000
people will be actors in the dis
play.
Something Of the elaborateness
of the event may be comprehended
when 1t is known that the Cana
dian parliament has authorized the
exexpenditure of 100000 for the
preparation of the pageants and
for the attendant fetes. 1t will be
by long odds the most spectacular
event in Canadian history.
Incidentally the ter-centenary
marks the initial step in the re-
clamation and maintenance of the
historic battlefields on the plains
of Abraham and Ste. Foye. The
federal government has appro-
priated funds for their purchase,
which has been made, and they
will be dedicated as national parks
as a feature of the occasion.
The dedication of the battle
fields, which is the chief official
function of the ter-centenary, will
take place on July "a. 1t will be
made the occasion of the principal
military display, and thousands of
soldiers will be modified from all
parts of Canada to participate. In
addition a score of battleships will
be in port, representing not only
England, but the United States,
Germany, France, Italy, Spain, ia
pan and the Argentine Republic.
1t will be followed by the official
ball at parliament house, given by
the government of Quebec.
Great Britain will be represent
ed by the Prince and Princess of
Wales, and one of the ceremonies
in which the former will officiate
will be the planting of a tree in
Victoria park in commemoration of
his visit. The prince will do this
unaided. He will review all the
pageantry and historic reproduc-
tons as well.
Perhaps the most striking event
of all the pageantry effects will be
