A PIONEER CELEBRATION


 The first civic celebration in the Canadian city of Guelph was held on this date, Aug. 18th, in 1927. The town had just been founded by John Gait, the Scottish novelist, who was then acting as commissioner in Cam ada, and was settled largely by his countrymen. It was merely a coll lection of rude log huts in the midst of a forest, far from the nearest inn
 portant city, but what the pioneers
 of Guelph lacked in numbers they
 made up in enthusiasm. The village
 was named Guelph in honor of the
 royal family, and the towns "house-
 warming was held on the Kings

 imported at great expense from To- ronto, "discoursed sweet music,'' while bottles of Scotch whiskey pass ed from hand to hand, until a major ity of the men were in a decidedly convivial mood. An OK was roasted
 before an open fire, and the banquet, the chief feature of thes day, consist ed largely of roast OK, boiled pota- toes, bread, and more Scotch! The day was enIivened by number of fis- 1 tic combats.e The foundations of sev- era1 buildings were laid, and alto- gether Guelph had ca most joyous launching.

CFNTFNARY OF CAPE COLONY AND GUIANA AS
 BRITISH POSSESSIONS

lust a. century ago to-day the Dutch formally and finally ceded to England the Cape of Good Hope and the Amer ican colonies of Demerara and Esse- quibo. on the northeastern coast oI South America. Cape Colony thus beca me the nucleus of the great Union of South Africa, while the New World possessions of the Dutch which were turned over to England are now known as British Guiana
 The Portuguese were the nrst 10 visit the Cape of Good Hope The Head of Africa and the 'Lion of the Sea- was discovered by Bartholo- mew de Riaz in 1497. For cen tury the gallant naVigators or Porlh- gal had been making explorations on ffle African coast, but it remained for >I0iaz, with a fleet of two caravans and tiny store ship, to reach the south- ern extremity of the continent He called it Cabo Tormentoso,, or Cape or ,Torments, because of the rough weather he had experienced there, but when he returned John IT of Portu- gal said: esNo.. it shall be Cape or Good Hope for it's discovery is full of promise. And 1t Was-nut not for Portugal. In 1497 Vasco de Cana, another Portuguese, doubled the Cape and proceeded to India, be- ing the first to make such voyage
 A little later Dutch navigators fix ed upon the Cape as watering place,  Town was founded and the colonial tion of the country under Van Rle- beck was commenced The Dutch remained supreme in that part of Af- rica until 1795, when the English un- der Admiral Elphinstone and Gen. Clarke captured the colony. It was restored to the Dutch in 1902, but was again taken by the English four years later, and on August 13. 1914, was finally ceded to Great Britain, +Ta ,10ras fC11 ana Subsequently the area of the colony was gradually enlarged, by the annexation of surrounding districts, while the Dutch colonists withdrew into the interior and organized the Transvaal republic and the Orange Free State Then came the deadly war between Boer. and Uitlander, which resulted in the triumph of the British and the launching in 1910 of the Union of South Africa.
 Guiana, a portion of which became British territory a century ago to-day, has had a long and varied history. Columbus is said to have discovered the Guianas on his third voyage in 149S At that time the country was inhabited by many tribes of Indians who spoke a number of different lan- guages and dialects, and who success fully resisted for many years the Flu ropean settlement of the coasts. IT the sixteenth century the Guiana coast was explored to some extent b! the Spaniards and by Sir Walter Ra leigh, but the Dutch and the French were the first to plant settlements about 1925. The British, French ant Dutch buccaneers made the Guiana one of their stronghoids, and the his tory of the early period of coloniza ton is one of blood and terror.
 Demerara and Essequibo were frs taken by the British in 1796, but the. were restored to the Dutch in 1902 = rTzF, ev a gain surrendered to an EngliSl force in 1903, and were formally an nexed by Great Britain in 1914 Al though British Guiana has an are Of 1O9, ,0oo square miles, only ayer, small part is under cultivation, ant
