"The two Canada" are most import-
ant dependeneiee of the British
Crown, and the Upper Province, in
particular, enjoys great advantage of
soil and climate; in the farmer it is
equal to the most fertile parts of the
States of New York and Ohio; in the
latter similar to the well known and
pr:,sperous tract usually called the
Genesee Gorntry; and in respect of a
ready outlet and easy access to mar-
kets for produce, it possesses advane
tages over either of these States, by
commanding the navigation of •the
mouth of the River St, Lawrence.
That the progress of cultivation
has not been carried to an equally
prosperous extent,'and that the popu-
lation is• still but thinly spread over
the country has in a great measure
arisen front a want of capital . suf}i-
tient to form establishments, upon a
seine calculated to raise a surplus of
products for exportation. The origi-
nal settlers were, for the most part.
emigrant familiesand refugees, with
but little or no property," and those
who have resorted thither since, are
Persons chiefly of the same descrip-
tion; inasmuch, •that it may be justly
said the Troeperity of the Colony has
hitherto been almost entirely depen-
dent on the manual labor of indivi-
dual setters, •
These circumstances, having been
represented to the Government, His
Majesty's Secretary of State for the
Colonial Department, desirous to en-
courage the introduction of Capital
into the Colony, has agreed to dis-
pose df the lands reserved for the
Crown, and the half of these reserved
for the support oi' the elert'y, to. this
Company, in 'order to facilitate that
great object. These crown and
clergy. . reserves consist of ;two -sev-
enths (in lots• of 200 acres each) of
the lands granted by , Government
since -17911-they intersect all, the set-
tled districts, and are in many places;
already surrounded by cultivation.

The laswest to be hold in the Royal
Cdisowra, Toronto, on January Intk,
is honor of Colonel Henry Cockrhutt.
L. L. D., who retires front the Lieut.,
Governorship s week earlier, is the'
iar=est affair of its kind ever held in
Canada.
Not only will the attendance -2,000
are expected --break all records, but
in many other ways a high marl, will
be set; Such an *vent has never be-
fore been ever thought of and its
magniture will be readily understood
when it is stated that nearly three
hundred cooks, waiters, dish -washers.
cheek -room attendants and ushers'
will be needed to at.end to the wants
of the enormous orewds.
New York in pre-Volstead days
saw many" eeeentrie banquets. On
one occasion, members of a fanious
hent club sat astride their -horses and,
ate from high tablets: other banquets
have had an equine flavor gained by
the presence of famous race -horses as
pampered guests of honor, whe deli-
cately nibbled sugar proffered by fair
fingers.
But never, even in New York, has
the tanbark ring served as a dining
room. Armies of workmen are now
engaged in the work of converting
the huge arena at the Exhibition into
a banquet hall, Over half an sure of
canvas will be required to cover the
tanbark with. beneath it, nearly a
mile and a half of a yard -wide heavy
brown wrapping- paper.
Music. during the dinner is to he
rendered by the famous Toronto
Transportation Commission;. •-Concot't

standing artistic. contribution to the
nrogram will come from the Toronto,
Male Chorus,an organization of 27.i
male voices. under the baton of E; R
Bowles, will sing several numbers be-
tween the congratulatory addressee:
to be delivered by prominent men.
It has bcen'decided by the Commit-
tee that in order to give the artistic
wenius of Ontario. a proper opportun.
sty- to (leveler) sorethini instinct with
the spirit of Ontario, the actual pre-
sentatinn will not be made at the ban -
(met, "Not only is Ontario" bounti-

sis." says an official announcement.
"but it is wonderfully endowed with
artistic genius and excellent crafts-
maneieip•. A presentation to so out-
standing a man as Col. •Coek,hutt
must represent in every way the no=
tentialities • of the great Province for
which he labored so well and so faith-
fully during his term of office; and
should symbolize Ontario." - '
"This cannot be done to order, time
will be required for the evolution of
ideas, and it has therefore been de-
tided to call into consultation, On-
tario artists of the hio•hest standing•
