Visitors Were Numerous and the City Quite Gay~--4 Fine Far- ade and Events in the Fair Grounds. A great day, a great crowd, a great success. In those few words might be summed up the result of the Victoria day eelebration, observed on Mowday. The weather clerk seemed © 10 have thought it time for a change, and so he gave us a brilliant day. As of oid, the people flocked into the city in thousunds, and entered heartily into the spirit of the celebration. Seldom, if 'ever, -ha® a larged crowd been seen upon the exhibition grounds than that of Monday afternoon. The visitors were made welcome, and given the freodom of the city. Canadian and American soldiers walked arm in arm, and the best of friendship and good feeling prevailed. It is estimated that thers were at feast 5.000 visitors in the city. = They began to arrive on Saturday after noon, when the steamer New Island Wanderer brought (150 people from Cape Vincent, Watertown, and inter- mediate "towns. That evening she brought another excarsion of 400 peo- ple from Syracuse, Utica, Waterlown and other United States points, The steamer Bt. Lawrence arrived at | pan. on Monday from Cape Vincent with 450 more Americans. The steam er America arrived at 2 p.m., bring ing 500 people from Ogdensburg, N.

The Aletha brought 'about 300 from bay of Quinte ports. From Alexandria Day and other Am erican pointe on the river came three boats. The Island Belle had 300 has sengers on board, including the Alex: amndria Bav brass band. The carpen fers' union of the Bay ran these ex: cursions, and they themselves turned out strong. The local anion .reprisen tatives met their brethren at the wharf, and marched to labor hall, The Capt. Visgar and Idler, of the Bay, each landed about 100 passen goers. The trains did g= big a business os the hoats. The GT.R. train from the east at 9:40 a.m. brought 50 peo fle from Brockville and othér noints. he' noon train from the west brought over 300. The K. & P. arrived at 0:50 aan. with 500 people, while' the tay of Quinte train carried 400 peo- ple to the limestone city. Tt ean be safely estimated that 1,000 people at least would drive into the city. This would bring the number of visitors up to 3,000 and more. It was an orderly and well-behaved crowd. They eanie to have 4 good time, and each had it in his own peculiar way. The day was exceptionally free from accidents or arunken brawls, The celebration was a great success, and the hearts of the manager and the directors rejoiced with execeding great joy therefor. The Big Parade. Shortly after one o'clock the troops began to "fall in" on the market square in preparation for the march to the fair grounds. The United States volunteers, with their blue suits and slouch hats, had consider- able applause bestowed upon them, Thousands of people gathered on the square and along the line of march in order to catch a glimpse of the pa rade, and for the time being all . travel was suspended. In the parade were the [4th - regimental band, 14th bugle band, "A™ and "B" batteries, R.C.FA, 3h separate company band, of Watertown, United States soldiers, 47th regimental band, fire brigades finely decorated, mayor Shaw and Maj. Boyer, commanding the visiting troops. The soldiers of hoth nationalities were loudly cheered by their admirers while the hand: somely decorated and brightly bue nished turnout of the fire depart ments was a subject of much kindly comment. The parade marched from the square along King street to Pri cons, up Princess to Alfred and along Alfred to the fair grounds. The whole line of march was Black with people Arrival' At The Fair Grounds. The parade reached the fair grounds shortly after hali-past one o'clock. There was a very pretty march past, in column, by the infantry, and at the walk and trot by the artillery. 'Welbmerited applause was given. At the saluting base were Col.

The majority of the city's inhabit 'ants flocked to the wharves and mil- way stations last evening to bid the visitors good-bye. The foot of Broek street was filled with people, many of them pladidbearted and gay. At 6: p.m. the American troops marched from their quarters in the 'city hall to the Jerry' whari, where they board- ed the steamer St. Lawrence. The vis- itors were lustily cheered, and many a with was expressed for their return on sonte future occasion. The boys in blue enjoyed themselves well.

"You treated us do well here -that we want to come again. 1 was much pleased with our welcome and the kind Lospi tality the city extended to us. Our hoys all enjoyed themselves, and we havg only the hearticst thanks ior your treatment of us." This was the general expression of the men, too. The boys conducted thepwelves in a most gemtlemanly manner, and fratermized freely with the Canuck soldiers 'and volunteers. The young ladies of the city haa a great partiality for the visitors, and no soldier from across the line had to go very long without a girl When the boats steamed out of the hurr, there was Joud cheering, play ing of hands, blowing of horns and the waving of dainty lace handker- chiefs, which latter were answered by the salute of the American soldiers.

Klerksdorp, April 20. -- The liberals of Kingston have my best wishes for success in the election. I wish I could be with my , old 'colleague to cheer on the boys.

Donald McNish, of West Elgin, and re guest him to * hug the machine." : The Ross government cannot be dis placed by the conservatives. No con servative, in his heart, thinks it can. If a full liberal vote can be polled there is no doubt of the success of the Ross government. This js now the first and paramount duty. The grits ask every man who wants to see the Ross government returned, to work ome day in Kingston, for that result. Work wins. No government can be regarded as too long in office while its opponents feel obliged to resort to prevarication to get up charges against it. No liberal in Kingston sought to break up the last conservative meet ing. Jt was a tory trick to ring ont a false alarm of fire, and seek to break up a liberal gathering. 3 2 There are more conservatives in the pulp companies than liberals, But the government treated them on a busi« ness basis, and they are willing to help develop Ontario even if the con- servatives in parliament voted to re tard its advancement. The next thing the Mail will be up to will be publishing a facsimile of a portion of the Toronto city directory showing that the name of Hon. Geo. W. Ross is on the same page with that of a man who was once arrested on a charge of frand, and holding the gov ¢rnment responsible. We have every faith in the good in- tentions of friends of the Ross: ad ministration. But the essence of good intentions ia the spirit in which they are carried out, Let us all, therefore, settle down to honest, hearty work while there are two days left. Vie tory will be all the more glorious the more nobly and unflinchingly we strive for it. Ontario has money invesjed with the dominioh on which she gets $142, | elsewhere on which she got in interest last year $46,760, and, with the excep tion of the railway indebtedness, owes no man a dollar, Should not the men who bave managed her affairs for thirty years get some credit for this happy state of affairs ? The Toronto Mail and Empire says "The Ottawa liberals are sb scared at the outlook for their candidates in the city that, in their desperation, they have coaxed premier Rose to go down and address a meeting on Wednesday pight." Same feeling here for the con- servatives have coaxed J. P. Whithey to seek to stem the tide flowing against them, and he speaks here on Wedneslay night. An unfortunste feature of the cam- paign in its closing days is the very many wild statements made from con- servative platforms, and the free -cir- culation of charges which will not stand a moment's investigation. Lib- erals everywhere should beware of these eloventh-hour charges, and rest in the absolute confidence that no charge that will 'hear investigation would be withheld until the closing days of the contest. : The gavernment, represented by ity opponents to be the friend of the sation, collected from these i banks, life instrance, trust, 414, other sums invested in banks and: ORDINATION CEREMONY. -- Rev. T. W. Savary Advanced To The Priesthood. For the fixst time in the history of St. James' church, the congregation were favored last Sunday with an ordination service. Rev. ceptance as a deacon, was advanved to the priesthood. Morning prayer was said at 10 am, about seventy-five persons being present, amd the sittings were well occupied at 11 am, when, after sermon, the ordination service proper began. The candidate was presented by the archdeacon of Kingston, who offered the litany. The holy communion office was then begun and after the dpecial collect, epistle and gospel, the lord bishop sitting at the chancel steps, read the solemn address to can didates for the priesthood, and ad- dressed to the postulant these equally solemn questions relating to faith and life to each of which he responded quietly and reverently. The 'Veni Creator Spiritus," sung by the kneel ing congregation, followed hy a few moments of silent prayer. Kneeling be fore® the church's chief pastor, the candidate then received from him "the laying on of hands," (the archdeacon of Kingston, Rev. C. E. Cartwright and the incumbent of St. James' unit ing), and he vose fully authorized to perform all the functions of a parish clergyman. The remaining communion office was then proceeded with, and a large number received The members of St. James' hope that Mr. Savary will long continue to associated in the ministerial work the parish. part of the be of THE PONIES WON. Gananoque Lost a Closely Con- tested Match. Yesterday afternoon's baseball match at the fair grounds resulted in a narrow win for the Ponies, who de feated Gananoque by seven to six, Had some players in the home team been at all careful in their bade-run ning, the score would have been twelve to six, for the Ponies lost ful ly five rune by clumsy work on the bags. Gananoque playéd by far the better field game, but Ponies outhat ted them, making thirteen hits off Drohan, while nine were made off Amn brose. When the latter works out his arm, he will outdo the Gananoque twirlers. When Ponies came to bat in the last half of the ninth innings, the score was six to five in Gananoque's favor Quigley was hit with the ball and took first base. Then Daley advanced to the ' plate with the club, and smashed the ball over the centre fielder's head. Quigley scored, and Daley came home on a wild throw to third, which run won the match.
