SIR HENRY PELLATT, Financier. It is not generally known that Sir Henry Pellatt, one of Canada's leati- ing financiers and brokers, first saw the light of day in Kingston, and can claim a place in the roll of fame of this city, but this is nevertheless a fact. Sir Henry was born in this city on January 16th, 1859, his' father being Henry Pellatt and Kis mother Emma M. (Holand) Pellatt,> His stay in Kingston, however, did not extend over many years, for when he was but a young lad his parents moved to Toronto. He had his first start # education in the schools of this city, and completed it at Upper Canada College. But his father believed that busi- ness experience was the best educa- tion for his son, so at the age of fif- teen he entered his father's office, and commenced his training in fin- ancial service under the guidance of | E. B Osler, one of Canada's finan- | of the time. After a cial magnates thorough training in this firm, he went into partnership with his fath- er, the firm name being Pellatt & Pellatt, share brokers. This partner- ship was first. formed in 1881, and for ten years following this the first NIK HENRY SBLLATY rays of fortune smiled upon the young man. In 1891 his father re- tired, feeling that the business could now be safely left in the handk of his son. Norman MacRae was taken into partnership, and Henry the Second became the leading partner. This partnership still exists, and js a most successful one. The progress of Sir Henry Pellatt has been so rapid and phenomenal that it is almost impossible to detail its course. But he has -made such headway that he is now one of the twenty-three men who, according to a financial contemporary, are at the basis of Canadian finance. The ex- tent of his activities can best be shown by the following Mst of com- panies in which he js interested. He is president of the / Toronto Electric Light Company, which supplies most of the power and lighting for the city of Toronto, of the Ontario Elec- trical Developient Company; the Co- bait Lake Mining Company, the Moneta Porcupine Mines and was one of the principal promoters of the British Canadian Shipbuilding and Dock Company in 1911. He is also a director of the following compan- 'ies: the British-American Assurance Company, the Toronto Street Rail- way, the Richelieu and Ontario Navi- gation Company, ;the San Paulo Tramway, Light and Power Company and Western Assurance Company, and the Canadian Steel and Radia- tion Company, having large interests in each one of these important con- cerns. From them he derives a tre- mendous income. Besides being involved in the in- tricacles of High finance on a very large scale. Sir Henry finds much time to devote to blic work and charitable causes. is a director of the Canadian National Horse Show Association, and takes a great inter- est in all "matters pertaining to horses and stock raising. His stables at Casa Loma, his magnificert To- ronto castle, are models of clealiness and system, and he has also a farm on which he raises prize cattle and thoroughbred horses. He is presi- dent of the Toronto Guild of Civie Art, and devotes much time to this work. The Canadian Red Cross So- ciety claims him as a councillor, and during the war he put his energy whole-heartedly into the work of this organization, in addition to his many other labors. He has always taken subscribed $25,000 to the endow- ment fund of' this college, of which he is treasurer. Two years later he made a munificent gift to Grace Hos- pital, Toronto, and presen tire surgical wing to this institution. At the same time he presented to the ' | hospita: a portrait of himself, paiat- {ed by Forster, and this now hangs {in the Pellatt' wing. He has for many | years been a governor of Grace Hos- | pital. { In his early days Sir Henry Pellatt | was a splendid all-round athlete, {and in 1879 he won the ome mile | running championship of America at | New York. In 1910, in honor of his generosity to the tribe, the Mohawk Indians created him a chief of the tribe, with the title "Tanauyuasara," meaning 'Dawn of the Morning." One of the great features of Sip Henry's career is his service in the militia forces of Cagada. Entering the Queens' Own Rifles of Toronto in 1880 as a lieutenant, he has risen from rank to rank, until to-day he is brigadier-general. Three years afte: joining he was promoted to captain; in 1893 he rose to the rank of major; in 1901 he was made leut.-colonel, {and five years after he was given | command of the entire regiment. He | was made full colonel a year later, land was awarded the long service medal many years ago. In 1897, while holding the rank of major, he attended the Diamond Jubilee cele- bration of Queen Victoria. When King Edward VII. was crowned in 1902, he was in command of the Canadian contingent at the cere- mony, and took with him at his own expense the entire bugle band of the Queeii's Own' Rifles. In 1910 he took the yegiment, 620 strong, to England _his personal expense, to participate in the army manoeuvres at Aldershot with the Imperial grmy While in England on that occasion he attended the funeral of the late King Edward. When 'the present king and queen were crowned, Sir Henry and Lady Pellett were present by* invitation, and on that occasion Sir Henry was on the military staff which was on daty at the ceremony. He celebrated the incident by presenting, to every school child in Toronto a medal com- memorating the coronation of their majesties, : Sir Henry Pellatt's first recogni- tion by royalty came in 1905, when he was appointed A.D:C. to the" Gov- ernor-General of Canada. In 1910 he was knighted bye the late King Edward, as a reward for his continu- ed services as a soldier and citizen. He was at the same time created a commander of the Victorian Order, a much prized distinction. In 1911 he was elected president of the So- clety of Knights Bachelor of Eng- land, a society of fellowship amongst those who have been granted titles by the King. : Many tributes have been paid to this remarkable man. He is one of the keenest of financiers, and has al- ways displayed his ffest qualities in time of stress,..This was shown dur- ing the war;"when, after finding that he could not qualify for overseas ser- vice, he threw his whole heart and soul into the work of organizing con- tingents for the front, of recruiting and outfitting battalions and drafts from the Queen's Own Rifles of To- ¥onto. He was untiring in his ri- otic endeavors, and his elevation to the rank of brigadier-general in the Canadian militia was the fitting culs Canadjan of a military career of strenuous endeavor and usefulness. Sir William Bull says of him, that he is one of the foremost financiers of Canada, and is the Cecil Rhodes of the Western Dominion, while an- other contemporary says that he is the most generous and emthusiastic of the Empire's amateur soldiers. In 1883 Sir Henry, then a rising young financier, married Miss Mary Hodgson, daughter of John Hodgson, of Cumberland, England. Lady Rel- latt is also an energetic public work- er, and is Regent of the Queen's Own Rifles Chapter, "Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire. The Pel- Jatt home is known far and wide as the finest residence on this side of the Atlantic. "Casa Loma," as their castle is called, stands upon Walmer Hill, Toronto, and is a landmark fer miles around. It is of fine architec- ture, and no expense has been spar- ed tp make it outstanding in every respect. The gardens and grounds alone cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and thé stables and servants' quarters are palatial enough to be the residence of many a wealthy man. Bit Sir Henry never does things by halves, and this has been carried out in the designing of his home. x . In politics he is a Conservative, although he has never taken an act- ive interest im political matters. He leans towards the Anglican church 'iW religion, and is a member of a large number of clubs. ; Although he has just passed his sixty-first birthday, Sir Henry is sn active man, apd still takes a great interest in sport and social life. He is in daily attendance at his office, which is the recognized centre for all the leaders in financial matters for the Dominion of Canada in To- ronto. As a military man, he is proud of the fact shat his birthplace is the oldest military centre in.
