By French-Consul General-- Ceremony In 8ir Arthur Currie Hall, The second annual "Soiree Fran- caise" given by the cadets of the Royal Military College was held in the Sir Arthur Currie Memorial hall on Sat- urday evening, the entertainment be- ing attended by a large number of | Kingstonians and many visitorsyfrom other centres. The feature of the] evening was the formal unveiling: of the statuette "Pax," recently present- ed to the college by the French gov- ernment in commemoration of the gallantry of the R. M. 'C. ex-cadets during the Great War. - This cere- mony was performed by the consul- general of France who was also pre- sent for the exhibition of drills and exercises given by the cadets in the afternoon, French Consul's Address. The French Consul-General, in making the presentation spoke as fol- lows. "My first word will be a word of gratitude for this kind and courteous reception. I know that it is not to my person that your greetings are in- tended. If someone is to be applaud- higher than any individual, it is the country I have the honor to represent today among you, and I thank you, ladies and gentlemen, from the bottom of my heart for all that is meant, at this very time, by your applause and greetings, "I am glad to, be among you today. I am always glad to be among Cana- dians. Canada is a country which a Frenchman may be justly proud of, not only for all that old France has done here, and how could we forget those hardy French pioneers who came to Canada, fought their way all along the St. Lawrence river and this beautiful chain of Great Lakes to take their share of the white man's burden | and through untold hardships and de- votion to open this part of the world to civilization. : "If I were to forget it, you yoursel- ves will remind me of that splendid in- heritance and you will tell me that Kingston was at a time Fort Fronte- nac and that we may find many sou- venirs of the same glorious history from the mouth of the St. Lawrence to the mouth of the Mississippi river. "No! it is not only that glory of the past that gives me joy and plea- sure to be in Canada. It is also be- cause I find in this country, under the British flag, the most encouraging and helpful collaborations of two great races, living side by side and giving to each other the benefit of their own personal qualities. This is, a great and living fact, "In ig great, firstly because it hap- pens here in America in this new world, so important for humanity, but it i§ even greater because it reminds us of another experiment that has been going on for four years in France, on French soil, I mean to say the united effort of all the might of the British empire and of the re- public of France to defeat a powerful {come in the villages of France, will al- land of France. and dangerous foe. This brotherly ¥ DAILY BRITISH WHIG Color of France, was then unveiled by the French representative. General Macdonell's Reply. Major-General Sir Archibald ' Mac- | donell replied in behalf of all ranks of the Royal Military College, asking the Consul-General to convey to the gov- ernment of France the sincere and grateful thanks of the college for the beautiful statuette, which standing at the head of, the stairway, would be an inspiration to those entering the Currie Hall, to follow the steps of the men who had won this honor for their col- lege, many of whom sleep beneath the soil of France, The men of the Cana- dian Corps who always found a wel- ways wish success to their Allie -- splendid and Victorious France. "The Marseillaise" was then sung by the cadels and three hearty cheers given for the consul, The statuette is mounted on a pe- destal made entirely of Pittsford Val- ley marble, and presents a very strik- ing picture in its position in the hall at the entrance to the Currie hall. It stands four feet and a half high, and is mounted on a double base. On the top of the pedestal, is a French scroll, featuring the fleur-de-lis of the sumny The lettering is in French style, deep sunk with gold leaf. The pedestal was designed and erected by the McCallum "Granite Company, of this city. The concert was exceptionally note- worthy of praise, and was considered by many to be even better than the initial one staged last year. The var- fous difficult roles were carried out in a clever manner and the sketches, songs and tableaux were all rendered in perfect style, and when it is remem- bered that the native language of France was used throughout, the ver- satile training of the R. M. C. cadet may well be imagined. Opening with an, overture by the college orchestra, theassembled chorus of over forty voices sang "Q Canada" Recitations by Cadets Lane and Col- linson then followed, their selections being "Premier Sourire de Printemps" (Theophile Gauthier) and Les Mille- Iles" (Octave Cremazie). Canadian songs then came in for consideration and the various numbers were round- ly applauded. A delightful little com- edy in one act was staged by Cadets Morton, Mickles and Norris, the plot being the early marriage trials of Roger and Colette, who have the fun oftguarrelling and then making up in the tmne-worn fashion. The foundation of Kingston in 1673 by the Count de Frontenac was por- trayed by six picturesque tableaux, showing the landing of the flatilla, the erection of the fort, the trade and par- leying with the Indians and the final departure, etc., the various acts having rare historic interest. The characters were as follows: Count Frontenac, Cadet Burley; missionary, Cadet Grier; soldiers, Cadets Lampman and Luke; colonists, Cadets McMurtry and Coyle; "Coureurs de bois," Cadets Monk and Taylor; Indian chief, Cadet Gillies; and Indians, Cadets Clark, Sutherland and Gorden. ] Selections by Cadets. Larue and Watt, and a number of projections by Cadet Porteous, followed by the sing- ing of La Marsecillaise and the Na- tional Anthem brought the: very en- joyable concert to a close.
