Ontario Ferry No, i of thec Grandl Trunk fulfilled in every way the neýcessitie2saud pleasures of the occasion.Tesilcrs was delightful, with scarcely a rilple on the water. The company, ais is u.sual, broke into congenial knots for favorite pastime, some in wraps on deck to njoy in quiet converse the beauties of thle lake, some in comfortable cabins to indlOgein a social game, others, as incliniLon dic- tated, in state room or beiow inspecýîing the wonderful machinery. Genesee d(ock was reached on time and a train frorq Roch ester, Buffalo and Pittsburg railw ay conveyed the party to the city. A iiight ut Rochester! Who could attempt f0 describe, or would if he coulti, the varlous meaus of entertainmenit. Did onie's de- sires run to the mQving picture sos there was no lack; dbd somiethling moire convivial appeal to the party, thiere were "Rattlesnake Pete's" or thie"Amgy Dollar" Saloon; or had thie smnrur- sorts or beach au greatter acnti- hr was e ýverythîing t1ofi1t he bilil. ciitecif them were said 10 have stated th ffe next! dayý, like the Scotchman whio took in the Bowery in New York, wben relating bis opportunities ýto a friend on returning home: "Sandy, I'd net begrudge fwenty years of my life if I had had the same privileges before I was couverted." In Rochester, as in almost any big city, one can find almost anything he seeks for, jnst as every sect dlaims to gather from the good book the foundation of their belief. Morning came, as it surely does, and the caîl was made to do the city in touriug cars, and il is but due the Cify of Roches- ter f0 state thaf for beauty of roads and streets, parks, cemeteries and groves and general faste and excellence throughout ils government and appoîntments it weii deserves the praise and admiration of ifs own citixens and ail visitors. The Ferry ieft Rochester on the refurn trip af one o'ciock Friday. "Homeward bound !" How sweet if sounds f0 the ab- sent ones usuaily, yet t fiPe niajority the home feverhad not come, so short and ent "ertaiuing had been the visit. But the Stars and Stripes must be forsaken and the Maple Leaf redonned. The good fel- lowsbipof the outgoing trip was frepeated on the return until the Canadian shore was in sight, when a felicîfous feature of the function was precipîtated. Lieut-Col. MacNachtan invited the Wardeu and his guests 10 the cabin, stating in words ex.- pressive of the delight of ail present at the hospitality of Warden Kelly. Mýr. J. W.,Crews, reeve of Murray, and Mr. W. J. Bragg, of Darlington, moved a resolu- lion of appreciafion bn very fitting lerms. The resolufion was abiy supportedl by ex- Wardens McNeil and Boyce, Reeve Irwin of Campbeliford, and others. Warden Kelly in repiying to the ex- pression of fhanks was visibiy affected and intimated that if his guests had en- joyed the outing if was the best speech he couid make. He had with the able gen- eralship of Lieut.-Coi. MacNachtan aimed 10 give the friends an opporfunity of en- joying themselves, and if that end had been atlained he was more than pieased and repaid. Three cheers and a figer closed the ceremony aud the Ferry soon siipped but o dock. Thus was completed the happy occasion, one of those green spots in fhe desert of lite, designied f0 sweeten the journey, to make men forget the strifes and asperifies of ambifious love of power and place, and f0 recail in happy remembrance in after years that (:ithis montb of Jone, [911, ith Wardien Kelly and is Concil, an event so fouo f enjoy- a ENGLISH CORONATION. IWith the wboie English sekn ol lu the throes of excitement over the pros- pective coronation of King George V on June 22nd if is interestiug to glunce back over the corouafion ceremonies of Eng- land's kiugs and queens in the years long since crystaliied into unchangeable bis- tory. Coronafion does'not seem 10o be essen- fiai to kingly authorify in Engiand, and is notbing more than a formai but interest- iug ceremony that, perhaps, could 'be fotaiiy, put aside. We know thut the King of Spaîn, the King of Sweden, and the Emperor of Germany were neyer actually crownied by any special ceremony. We ofteu hiear the paradoxical phrase "The King i3 dead; long live the King" and we won)ld-r xvhere the sense of if comes in, but if is literaliy truc, for the reign of the nwruler beg ins with the deafh of the predecessor and not with the date of cor- onation, hence there is no reai intcrreg- nnminitact. History, however, fails to reodthe case of a King of England not havîing been duly coronated. C"oronat ions used f0 take place only on ai Suniday or some festival day, and historyý records thà't 16 of the eariy 21 Engiish ornations orcurred on Sunday. This oas changed in 1688 and since then seco- bar days have been mainly chosen. Wýilliam- the Conqueror was crowned on a Suinday, wbich was also Christmas day, in 06 and he wus the first king to re- ceiv-e his sovereiguf y in Westminster. The coronation of King Richard III on Jly 6, 1-183, is said t0 have been the most gorgeýous nd splendid one utp f0e that lime. Si-x thouisand grandly aitired nobles of bis court attcuded lmi in state from Baynard's Castle to W',estinlîster palace. He was crownied in the Abbey by the Archbisbop of Caniterbuiry. Richard and bis queen miarcbed bare-fo--oted lup the main aisie of the Abbey to the shrine of Edward the Confessor, wbere the preliminaries were hield. Immediately affer the King's def eut af Bosworth, Henry VII was crowned on the battlefield. The King wore bis crowu mbto that baffle and losI it lu the melee, and Lord Stanley, a nioble, forund if and piaceti il ou the new King Henry wbo was afterwards re-crowued bu the Abbey. Il is said that fhree different crowns were used in 155,3 when Queen Mary was coronated-that 0f Edward the Confessor, the Imperial Crown, andi another one mnade expressly for ber. Each in turn was pluced uipon her head. She refuseti te sit buthe corouafion chair, claimiug that if hi been deseýcrated by ber Prot- estant brother, Edward, aud iused another sen t lte pope. QeuEiizabectb's coroation wa stomy nea risnerbu hetowe,ýr one minute anti the quen of Englai fhile next, was surely unique. Here wvas a change from the old Catholie order f0 the Protestant, and the ceremony was attend- eti witb many misunderstaudings and much rancor. The corouation ceremony of Charles Il was spectacular and fireworks, if is dlaim- ed were then for the first time used. James Il was crowned with great pomp and gliteriug ceremonies, the most mag- nificeut up to thaf fime, but the corona- lion of William and Mary was tbe most significaut of any, fromn a potiticai and religions standpoinf. They were crowncd as joint sovereigus, andi parliament soon afler approved if for the firsf time bu Eng- lisb history. Iu ail of these ceremonies, religious jealousies betwcen Catbolics and Protestants were conspiduous, caused by the changes thut were made bunflhe form of the oaîb of office, and bu the details of the ceremouy. t is said that Arch bisbop Sanicroft refusedt 1 officiate on the grouud thut William and Mary'claimed the tbrone by acf of parliament, and not by heredi- tary descent, and the Archbishop of York crowned-Ibe Queen and Compton Bishop of London, the King. At this coronation a copy of the Engiish Bible was again used, ifs use having been omitted by the Catholic divines bu Ibeir ceremoniai coro- nation proceedings. ,When King George III was crowued, 176t, a large diamoud feul from bis crown, and this, by the superstitious, was cousiti- ered a bad omeu and many have uttribu- ted the loss of America to the incident. The coronation of George IV was a very elaborate affair, The oatb was ugaîn cbanged iu form t0 fil in witb the union with tie Utîurch of iretanti; severai iiray- ers were aiso omifted in the ritual. Exceeding ail others bu splendor was the coronation of Queen Victoria June 28, 1838,'wheu she was but 18 years of age. The populace could noft be restrained from breaking bu aI opportune times witb deaf- ening appiause, the Hnlieujab Chorus was rendered by a choir and orchestra of 400, 'and the people scemed f0 feel instbncliveiy thul they hat inb their immortal quecu, uudying in fume anti glory, the presaging assurance that their country would be blest and prospered by the grandest char- acter thal ever graceti a throne, anti, fhank beaven, f bey were nof mistaken.
