There was a huge crowd of of these manly officers of the law.; the Members packed behind the bar On arrival at the pilot train there was time to file a number of tele­ graphic messages before the signal, to go, was given. Late that night the both trains halted at Caledonia Springs for the rest period. Bright and early this writer was around and had a first hand view of the elaborate plans made for the safety and protection of the Royal party; there were members of the R.C.M.P. and a lareg number of railway officials, attending to every detail; it is at such stops as this that the locomo­ tives of both trains are serviced and cleaned, ready for the trip of the following day. All .along ' the rout to Ottawa, there were numerous small com­ munities and each had its full quota of citizens lined along the railway line. I happened to notice one impressive thing, an aged man was standing in the midst of a field of about twenty acres and he was at the salute. I sincerely hope he was there when the Royal party passed; it was noticeable that many children were trained to bow and salute as the train passed. Arrival in Ottawa, < the capital city of Canada was a stirring event. There were miles of bunting and loyal decorations with the usual cheering crowds. The press party was escorted to the Chateau Laurier the hotel de lux of Canadian people where we made our headquarters during our stay in the city. The arrival of Their Majesties in this beautiful city was greeted with a salute of 21 guns. The arrival took place at a specially erected platform in a suburb of the city,, from whence the triumphant proces­ sion commenced. I had the distinct honor of a place in the Senate Chamber where his­ tory was written; here it, was that; His Majesty sat for the first time on His Canadian Throne and gave royal assent to seven bills, which as a result of this gracious act, has become law. Seated at His Ma- jestey’s left, on her Throne, was Our Gracious Queen, dressed in regal grandeur and wearing that charm- of the chamber.
