Toronto.s Aug. N.-Great demonstrs-
tions of welcome and loyalty, which
continued throughout today and tonight,
marked the last day of the present visit
Of the Prince Of Wales to Toronto.
The reception given the royal visitor
at the grounds of the Canadian Nation
al Exposition and in the A-m,ie tri-
umphal drive through the streets was
unparalleled in the history of the city.
On account Of the great crowds and
magnitude Of the demonstration con.
siderable curtailment of the princes
program was necessary.
Hundreds of thousands of Iersons
lined the streets to get q view Of his
royal highness and party. Mounted po-
lice had to charge the crowds at times
to get the princes car through.
After the scenes in the city streets
and at the Canadian National Exhibi-
ticn this afternoon. where more than
10000 people assembled to see and hear
the prince. 1t was decided to cancel the
princes engagement to attend the pyro-
technic display tonight. The royal Wis
itor was reported to be suffering from
the strain and excitement Of the days
demonstration.
The prince gave a brief address at
the exhibition. thanking the crowd for
the great welcome. and told how glad
he was to meet his comrades from tho
battlehelds Of France. Few could hear
the address. however. because OF the
deafening cheers. Following his ad.
dress the prince presented medals to a
number Of veterans.
