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. (Members of the
House of Commons are not permit
