 OF GREAT OCCASION
Vice President Chas. w. Fair banks Present Representing
 the United States.

| QUEBEC, July 23-The Prince of l Wales was the central figure today in
 the magnificent spectacle reproducing
 Quebec's historic past and ushering in the S00th anniversary of the founding
 of the city by Champaign Aside from the spectacular features of the event,
 it was the occasion for a notable ex-
 change of addresses between Vice | President Fairbanks and the Prince | of Wales, in which each spoke of ex- | isting relations between the United States and Great Britain, and the i prince delivered a message of good will to the American government. An enormous crowd filled Palaces
 des Armes fronting the Champla monument, where the exercises were held. Here the prince received the addresses of the American and French representatives the mayor of Quebec, and finally Champlain him self, reproduced as in the days of old, coming from mimic reproduction of
 the original ship Don De Dieu, with
 some 5000 followers representing every phase of old France in Canada.
 In his address Vice President Fair
 banks said:
 Your Royal Highness-I acknowl-
 edge with grateful appreciation the welcome which you so generously ex- tend. The sentiments which you are
 pleased to express with regard to my country I receive with profound sen sibiIity. They are renewed evidence
 of that respect and cordial good will
 which has so long existed between the United States and Great Britain, and will tend to strengthen and pre- serve their amicable relations.
 Permit me to extend to Quebec my hearty congratulations upon the dis tinction which she enjoys in the pres ence of your Royal Highness, and upon the enthusiasm with which she has
 welcomed you within her gates. It
 is, indeed, a signal honor which you
 have done her. It is happy circum-
 stance which brings you across theI
 sea. The event is one which will be
 long treasured among the annals of
 Quebec.
 The eyes of the western world are
 upon this historic city. The celebra-
 ton of the tercentenary of Champlain's s
 founding of Quebec is altogether ad
 mirable both in the comprehensiveness of its conception and in the excellence
 of it's execution, and is an event which
 awakens interest not only in the Do
 minion of Canada, but in the United
 States also. From this point as a
 base intrepid explorers blaZed the pathway of civilization through track
 less forests and explored lakes and rivers in territory which is now within the jurisdiction of the United States. Names associated with the early his tory of Quebec are landmarks in our geography and are indelibly impress ed upon our civilization.
 Three hundred years is but brief
 period i'll the history of England or France, but it is all the history of Que bee and all of'Anglo- Saxon America. i Here has been writtene an interesr ing story. Here have been witnessed the victories and defeats of war and the blessed triumphs of peace. Tho battlsships of three great nations rest wonder upon the bosom of the St. Lstv ! renee. The representatives of those i powers assembled here are recalling 1 past differences, but ably to empha- 1 size the present prevalence of a spirit l of genuine friendship between them.
 It is with unusual pleasure l bring !, you greetings from the President and | the people of the United States who | rejoice with you in the progress you | have made in the manifold ways | which make fbr the strength and honor of great people. We are not | indifferent to your welfare nor are i you indifferent 70 ours. The blood | Of a common ancestry is in our veins. l We have much in common. We gtO- ry in many of the same traditions, | and we have the same jurisprudence. Our standing of civilization are alike. Htre, side by side, owing allegiance to different soyereignties, we are, fn f Gods providence, to work our desri- n.y. We wish you that contentment t which comes from the civilization of the arts of pea 'etul industry under tnose political institutions which are -he guaranty of sgstiee and liberty among men.
 The United States and Canada have put fairly entered upon their career. saca has vast areas either spausely settled or unoccupied where many will make their homes in the future. Many ' millions will be added to our popula- ion and to yours. We have each made muca advance in the souls of I civilization, and are gratified with Ii -ile progress made. Each of us has ! brief but honorable history, ana IC before us stretch illimitable oppor- .unities. We confidently believe that II we are each destined to play a large { g5d worthy part in the progress of lg he human race upon the western Is continent. We have no rivalries ex- z cept in the ways of peace. We neirn- sr covet the others territory; we { ,ovet only each others neighboriy esteem We rest upon a common frontier more than five thousand miles m length It is crossed and recross- ed by iHstrumentalities of commerce which tend to strengthen our neigh boriy ties. Thsre are no fdtifica- lions upon our frontier, and no bat tIeships upon the waters which di- vide us, and we believe and fervent- ly hope that there will never be need of any defensive preparation between rs.
 As we behold this majestic celebra- ton in which the representatives of l. different nations participate and wit ness the manifestations of genuine
