Crothers Was One Bf Kingston De- legation That Went to Toiogte fo be Presented -- No Handshake Then, A 2 Hutchinson Crothers of Kingston Writes as follows to Toronto | Mail and Empire: The writer wgs one of a delega- { tion, who visited Toronto to see the { Prince, he not having called at thelr] | home town. Arriving at noon, oy | previous arrangement we were re- | celved at wid Parliament at) { 1.30, ih i On a platform, slight raised | | from the floor and -extending the { whole length of the south wall, were standing the Prince, the Mayer of | Toronto, the Duke of Newcasti8, the| | Govertior-General, Sir Edmond Head | | (1 think), aud many others. Our party filed in at once and the pro-i | ceédings Were simple in the extreme. | | in the centre of the dais 8tood the! Prince, with tne. .Duke of Newcastle| {on his right, and no doubt thé » v-| | of on his leit. We filed past, auf as] {each member stood - opposite we| | made our best bow, which B88 re | turned. There was no word spoken. | It myst*have been uninteresting to the Prince, to say nothing of weari-| iness by bowing ever so slightly to! four or five hundred persons. | | Two figurés on the dais I see as distinctly to-day as 1 did then--thé| Prince in his nineteenth year, with| smooth, rcund face, light auburn hair, rather large Ae eyes, rather| | diminutive chin, the whole expres- | slop being miid, godest, as against | anything torceful, formidable oF ori-| ginal. Dressed in a morning suit, without orders or decorations of any ind, his interest in the proceedings {were not of a very order as might be expected the sur- | roundings The Duke of Newcastle at the time] was a member of the British Cabl-| i net, holding the portfolio of Colonial Secretary, and as such responsible | for the rince's movements. A plain look.ug & ieman, nothing striking | about wis appearalice, nothing 0 ine | dicate Lis aristocratic lineage, aged about 4v, of medium height, slightly | | bullt, somewhat light complexioned, | | with a Tull bedrd aud moustache, His! | appearance was as much Canadian as English, and would {where as a successful busin or | protessiorial man. Like the ince, | | there were' no orders or decorations] of any kind. The time occupied dur-| ing our interview was probably less| | than an hour. ! The Prince arrived by boat from the East. Near the landing Was aj large amphitheatre constructed of} plain pine boards with a raised dais] in the centre, the seating some few and liberally the the high from pass any-| | whole capable of | | hundred. péople, | { supplied with fags, | bunting, ete. Here the Prince wis | received and the Civic address pre- | sented. Filled with people in holidays attire and on pleasure bent, 'this spot | would have a striking, animated ap-| pearance, but as the writer saw it) within a few days after use, with | dark clouds and a lowering sky and! a gale of wind tossing flags afd bunt- | | ing in all' directions, its appearance |'was cold and dismal in the =xtréeme. | On King street the Orange Order | had erected an arch of wood wound | with paper, which resembied finely | dressed stone. Yn one side was a half | figure of Queen Victoria, and?7on The { other a half figure of King William | of Orange. In the half cirels above | were the 'words "These We Malu- | tain." > At this time there was a sharp cleavage between the Duke and the Orange Order; The following in part at least. was how it occurred: In the Province of Quebec the Prince was taken tw the Roman Catholic Church and some of its subsidiary institutions, receiving addresses tc. The Orange Order of the Province of Ontario (then Upper Canada) thought It entirely -fitting that they should present an address also. This was refused and ignored by {he Duke. I put. the case mildly whefi 1 say that (for weeks and perhaps months feelipg ran high in this. Pro: vifice, the Duke's personality. being regarded much oh the same plané as we have been fegarding the Kaiser's during the war period. For the above reason thé Prince was hot allowed 10 land at Kingston when his steamer {lay for two days pending negotia- tions which failed, neither did he land at Belleville, and very serious dohbts were entertained: as' to His landing at Toronto. A compromise was reached, however, at the last | moment, the basis of which was as follows: If the party in charge of the Prince refused to pass under the Orange arch they could take a side street if they so desired.

The Grand Trunk from the east reached the station by a single line with only a few sidings. The station building resembled a aise overgrown bara, such as one mig t see in the early rural districts, sur- rounded by a deep clay bed, which in the rainy season would make the roads almost impassible. - The whole waterfront was "a vast west, and north towards King street the home of sheep, Npats and cattle. The following builflings were on their present sites iff 1860, Queén's Hotel, on Front strat, St. Lawrdnce Market, St. James' Cathedral, Ros- sin House (now Prince George Ho- tel), Osgoode Hall, University Col- lege, And of tourse others, West of Osgoode Hall was a large open area of some {en acres, more or less, cal- led 'Spadina avenue used for a par- ade ground for troops, etc. The po- pulation st the above date Was was something less than 50,000. ----snns 's.

NEW WAY TO MAKE MONEY Discount Canadian Bills and Give Canadian Change. The Americans are charfcteristl- cally good business men and they are taking every advantage of the abnor: mal distount on Canadian money | which has arisen. through the ex- change situation. The latest dodge to pile up the almighty dollars is to dis- count Canadian bills which are be- ng exchanged and theu give the change in Canadian money. A soldie- who went to Alexandria Bay the oth- er day tendered a ten dollar bill for some amall purchases. He was charg- | ed sixty cents exchange and whén hel got hofne and looked at the bis] whicli wére returned to him he found | that instead of 'being American dol-| Jar bills for which he had accepted! six pef cent discount on hls Cana-| dian dollar the crafty Yankee had] given him his change In Canadian | money. | OAD SEASON AT GRAND On Labor-Day With "Se-| ven Days Leave." | The season for road shows will] open at 'the Grand Opera House on} Labor Day, when 'Seven Days Leave,' | which made a big hit when presented Will Open | here some time ago, will be the at-| traction, matinee and night.

A few days here is better than oufices of tonics and saves doctor bills. The ter-| ritory is also easy of access via the Gand Trunk, 200 miles north of To-| ronto and 170 miles west of Ottawa.
