Over
Half a Million, Partake of a
great Feast,.
A Londoe despatch. says: Ail the
public jubilatioe wuh wee expect-
ed to attead the coronation, with a,
genuine spirit of thankfulness acid -
ed, Was comentrated ou Setunday
the festivitiest eorrnectect ivith the
Kthg's dinner • to the poor of Lon-
don, Fully a million pei•sons
er partook of the Royal -hospitality,
or witnessed this, the greetest feast
ever provided by a eingle man.
Great crowds rejoiced at
the anneuncemeets that London
most of all longed to hear, namely,
that the King had pneeed safely the
'great danger which. for three weeks
had threatened his' life. Joy and
Vankfulness never foam' more en-
thnethetie expression than London's
thantlileat citizens put into their
cheers, end there eas a note in their
onstant alleging Of "God Save the
Kiag" that' somehow was a, little
diffeeent from.any ever heard, before.
Every groat hall, and •several of
- the 'most beautiful of the smaller
parks of London were utilized for
this monster feast, tickets for whites
.had been distribsted for a month
pastby cseitral tind local Commit-
tees. of church and charitable so-.
.eieties, etc. It was attempted to,
-fix the scale of eligibility on the
basis of these families' whose com-
bined income was $6 per week; mar-
ried- couples with ono child whose
ni-
•cOrne was $5 per week, and familiet
stf two, whose income was $4.50, and
•single persons whoseewages aniount-
ead to $3 per week. The arrange-
ments broko down to some extent
certaia districts, enCl many per -
.sons who were 'eligible did not
succeed. , in partaking of the feast.
But, on the whole, the selections
were well made, it goes without
saying that every one invited ace
,oepted, and for the 3.110S t of them it
wtas the time of their lives.
IN BISHOP'S PARK.
The largest gathering of all was
in Bishop's Park, F-alhaare where 14,-
- '000 persons sat down in thirteen
large teats which sheltered them
from the hot rays of the sun. Three
•or four of these shelters were mark-
ed. "temperance tents," and these
-.were occupied chief:1Y by women and
.ehildren.
It was. a really respectable -appear -
:flag gathering. Thero. were many
easee' of attempts at neatness and
perabeal adornment, which were al-
most pitiful. Poverty, where it was
apparent, showed more in the faces
of the people than hi their attire,
and the joy of the oecasion went
far to disguise even that.
The Prince aud Princess of Wales
arrived Dist at the hour that -it had
been announced the feast wonld be-
gin, and it is the simple truth to vay
that every one at the tables show-
ed ,greater interest in seethe and
cheering the Royal visitors tan in
the great supply of edibles heaped
before them. ' They eeng and shout-
, ed and cheered like mad for the few
minutes that the members. of the
Royal family remained.
Then they fell to in perfect de-
corum until the beef, potatoes, plum
pieddieg, ' ale, beer, and lime juice
had been consented. They admired
the Ring's gift of souvenir earthen.-

The people -reached a high pitch Of
enthusiasms oddly anottgle when the
cheese arrived : Thie seemed a spe-
cial. luxury to most of them. "Here,

THE RING'S MESSAGE.
• King Edward sent a message to

Lord Mayor Dials:dale exeressing re-
gret, at his inability to milky out
his original intention of Visiting the
people who were his' guests. He said
he had deputed members of the royal
family to represent hint at as many
dinners as possible, and expressed
the hape that the guests tvould en-
joy themselves.
• Their visiting ditties kept tbe royal
family busy. The Duke and Duchess
of Fife looked in at the great hall

charge of the committee, received
this message from. the Ring, dated

gayety was at its height ee •

getting along ?"
His reply Was siiupiy : "Glorious,"
and that rightly describes this great
feast all over London.
Ther were distributed altogether
850,000 pounds of cooked meat,
250,000 'pounds of potatoes, the
same number of loaves of bread,
000,000 ounces of cheese, 1'25 tone

health was drunk heartily from the
souvenir earthenware cups.
The entertainers included every

under banks of flowers and waving
palms. At one end was the royal

mounted by crowns at each of its
four corners. The arrangement of

DROUGHT IN AUSTRALIA.
How Flocks of Sheep are Kept
From Starving.
A Sydney despatch says :—An in-
dignation mass Meeting was held at
the Sydney Towa Hall on Friday to
protest against the gefusal of the
Federal Governamerit • to remit the
fodder duties inspite of the drought.
A reaolution WAS carried asking the
Government to act at once, . and
thereby- save •the starving stock and
preeent the temporary extinction of
the • pastmal - industry. As an ex -
=pie of the extent to which arti-
licial feedingof stock prevails it may
•be stated that the •Burrawang Sta-
tion near Condobolin, has twelve
waggons constantly conveying fodder
from the railteity siding to 24 de-
pots tivoughout the run. It is dis-
tributed. thence by a host of lighter
vehicles, assisted by 250 inen and
300 saddle and harness horses. The
water supply of Sydney • is in a.
critical condition.
ROSPECTS OF THE WEST
Flourishing Reports From Parts of
the Wheat Belt.
A Winnipeg despatch says :—From
nearly every part of the West optie
mistic statements as to the beneffte
and effeets of •the existing weather
coaditioes on the orop prospects are
pouring in, Fx•equent showers and
bot, humid weather may not be all,
that is desired for PiellieS and holi-
days, but they meke the farmer
smile, It seems as if th.e grain and
hay would never stop growing, Li
many localities the wheat is in the
shot blade, and, if the hay continues
growing at the present rate, it -will
be too thick on the groufnd to cure
without haadling.
The market gardeners are jubilant;
vegetables of all kinds are growing
at a phenomenal rate. The light
micismemer frosts havedone no dam-
age, while with the moist, hot
weather one can almost see teget-
ables grow. Gardeners are preparing
for a bumper crop of garden truck.
J. J. Golden, Provincial Govern-
ment Agent, reports that the demand
for farm laborers an. Manitoba has
been greater than the supply at the
present time. Golden has 40 appli-
cations for help from farmers in the
province that Ise ie enable to satise
fy. Already there are indications of
many more men being required for
the hareest than even last year, as
the crop promises to be larger than
ever,
• HAYING HAS BEGUN,
• Haying has already begun in. some
sections,, and the yield • assured by
the wet spring is simply immense,
Hon. ,J. A. Davidson, • Provincial
Treasurer, says that, so for, the
crop • outlook in the northwestern
part of the province is satisfactory,
and that, although there has been •a
great deal .of rain, the water has
drained oil, as the country 'is rolling
prairie. Grain *as not so strong as
it would have been, however, if there
had been raore bright, warm weath-
er. The crop would suffer no damage
if there was plenty of heat and sun
from now on.
THE LATEST REPORTS,
Latest reports of progress of sea --
son's crops received by J. Obed
Smith, Dominion Immigration Cora -
missioner, ere eneouraging, With. the
exception of Siftoa.
Lamerton, N.W,T., reports that,
crops are well advanced, while there
is an ehundancy of gTeen feed. Slain
did not interfere with farmers get-
ting their crops in, and as them isa
greatly inereeeed acreage this year
the output will be large.
Reports from Bettleford state that
the trolonged cold, wet spring has
kept the crops a little backward, but
without any serious damage. Grain
and vegetables are looking well, and
good crops are assured by present
indications. Twice the therm.ometer
dropped to 85, and once as low as
31. Garden • produce was touched
slightly, but no serious damage is
reported.
Rosthern etpurts splendid prospects;
all varieties of produce are looking
excelleut.
From • Fort • Saskatchewan comes
word that crops will be good from
present indications. The weather
has produced a rapid, healthy
growth, which looks most promis-
ing.
BUDGET OF BAD NEWS.
From Sifton comes a, budget of
bad news, and at best order half a
crop is expected. "Rain • has fallen
incessantly," says the crop bulletin ;
"streams are flooded and railway
traffic has several times been inter-
fered with. Grain is turning yellow,
and roots are rotting. This is es-
pecially the case with potatoes. No
breaking is being done in the dis-
trict, owing to high water. Hay is
rotting, and a heavy mortality is
anticipated among horses and cat-
tle."
• The outlook is black, and as a
sample of the weather, . the report
says that snow fell on June 18,
while on June 21 a heavy hailstorm
visited the district. The poor pros-
pecte will go hard with the new set-
tlers, who are kept idle by the rre-
valence of high waxer.
-Favorable weather and flourishing
crops is the opening sentence of the
bulletin from Lethbridge ; lots of
hay, and a bountiful harvest is the
present outlook.
