Magnificent Welcome to the- Duke
and Duchess.
• A eespatch from, Afoutreal
say -
Th Duke and Duchess of Cornwall
Auld York accoreplished the th'st
-stage of their lourney through Can-
ada, on Wednesday, malting a •fast
run of five hours from Quebec to
Montreal. The morning Was ideal
for tree -clings a sunny, cool Septette-

to be hovering otionouely in the

cess of the Montreal visie as they
and. for a while threatened the sec -
had depeeseed that- at Quebec. The
Misforteue was temporary, however,
and there cart 13e no •question of the
:success of the Roy. tournee, so far
as Montreal is concerned.
A.RRIVED IX MONTREAL.
„
Not less than twenty thousand Peo-
ple had gathered in Montreal for a
sight of the Duke. and Practically
the whole population turned, out for
the occasion. As the train pulled in
to the Place Viger Station thous-
ands of 'fates could be veen, some
throfaging the bridge ootelde the feet -
tion, others clustered on the house-
tops, and many thousands on Notre
Dame street, which lies on an eleva-
tion of lantl and overlooks the scene.
It wes. moreover. a, decorated city
witich they entered. Flags were
evet'Swilere. As in Quebec, the
crowes, though unquestionably evitten
.Ond enthuelestie, did not cheer or
make as notch noise as an English-
speaking populace woull have done.
To the Englishmen who have been
half aroma the world and back
again with the Ophir, this was a
natter, of surprise. At Cape Town
and at the Australian cities the
cheering was stentorous, but_ the
French-Canadiat is not a ittslY
shouter on oceasions a this kind.
A S'EA OF SIGHTSEERS.
When the party emergeti from the
depot a wonderful sight met their
eyes. The gardens of the Place Inger
with their beautiful trees lay before
them covered with thousends of cal -
yens. A hue of soldiers fringed the
crowd. and lett the avenues of op -
Mooch clear. "Notre. Futter Roi"
was emblazoned above the entrance
of the station. A decorated stand
was erected in the centre of the place,
and when it was reached the Duke
found Glut every approach so far as
the eye could reaclo every roof ond
window commanding a view, how-
ever distant. every tree that afforded
a point of vantage was thronged
with hanum beings. Soule distance
away a, b an ling made up of ball-
ads of attle girls itt red, white and
blue dress, arranged in the lines of
the Union Jack sang patriotic songs.
This len ture was particularly t t rae-
tiye to the Duchess, who smiled on
the children from the distance while
..ht public address was beim.: read,
and remarked on it to her Indies-in-

trent wits read by Maybr Pre:tut:tine

EVENING CELEBRATIONS.
Ju o aiming a state dinner was
given, while the city of Montreal cel-
ebrated with =Raincoat illumine -
tions and fireworks. The mer-
chant s came forward with intense
local putrietism to melte the recep-
tion a great success. Half the build-
ings in the business district were
. beautiful with incandescent lights.
Fireworks of the most 'brIlliaut char -
roger were used with a free hand.
The corporation had selected several
points around the city as centres for
the spectacle. and thus every citizen
had a chance- to see -something in
comfort. The sight of the magnifi-
cent shower of fireworks on Mmtnt
Royal. as seen front the Champ de
eters. proved unfergetable. The
lookout far up on the brow of the
rock Was used as the firing point.

all sections of the eity in dazzling
