The Prince's reply to Sir Wilfrid
Laurier's address of welcome to
Quebec on behalf of the Canadian
people :-
"I and greatly touched by the
loyal and sympathetic words of the
address with which you, in the name
of the people of Canada, welcome
me on this occasion of my sixth vi,'t
to the Dominion. I am fully sen-
iblo of the honor and respen i;,:iaty
of my position as the representat've
of our Sovereign, who, ever mind-
ful of the unswerving loyalty of his
Canadian subjects, follows with af-
fectionate interest everything which
concerns the welfare and develop-
ment of the Dominion. My privilege
Is, therefore, twofold, fur I join
witht
yet , both as the representative
of the King and on my own behalf,
,of
celebrating the three hundredth
anniversary of the founding of your
famous city by Samuel de Cham-
plain. I look forward with keen in-
terest to the impressive ceremonies
of the next few days, during which
the past and present will appear be -
for us upon a stage of unsurpassed
natural beauty. And here in
Quebec I recall with much pleasure
Cie no uncertain proofs which I have
received on my several visits to
Canada of the loyalty of the King's
French-Canadian subjects. Their
droved fidelity in times of difficulty
danger, hapily long past, is
one of the greatest tributes to the
political genius of England's rule,
and the knowledge that they and
their fellow -Canadians of British
origin are working hand in hand
in the upbuilding of the Dominion
is a source of deep satisfaction to
the King, as well as to all those who
take part in British institutions. I
cordially agree with you in the pro-
priety of setting apart as a memorial
for the present and future genera-
tions the battle ground of the Plains
of Abraham, hallowed by the asso-
ciations of past years, and I heartily
congratulate all concerned in this
noble undertaking upon the success
which has attended their patriotic
efforts.
"I much regret that my present
visit cannot be extended beyond
Quebec, and also that the Princess
of Wales was unable to accompany
me on this occasion. Wo both retain
the happiest recollections of our
stay in Canada seven years ago, and
of the k.nd and affectionate welcome
we experienced during that most in-
teresting and enjoyable visit.
"I shall not fait to convoy to my
dear father, the King, who takes the
deepest interest in this celebration,
the gratifying expressions of your
loyalty and attachment to his throne
and person, of which his Majesty is
well assured.
"Once more i thank you from my
heart for your kindly greeting."
PAGEANTS DAllLE THE EYE
Too Much of Them to Take on at Once ---Gorgeous-
ly Planned ---Superbly Executed.
1'A correspondent, describing the
pageants at the Tercentenary at
Quebec Inst week, has this to say: -
Quebec's ten pageants are to be
found between t ho Promenade and
the Chateau. For diversity of cos-
tume. for wealth of detail, for real
heart interest of the kind that grips
the interest and holds it fast, the
promenade :s far ahead of the spec-
tacle npen the Plains of Abraham.

tumcd folk who forts its multitude
