Into the Golden Eagle is poured the Holy Oil with which the King is annointed at the Coronation. The oil is then poured through the beak into the Anointing Spoon, with which the Archbishop of Canterbury anoints the King on the head, on the breast and on the palms of his hands.

The opening was made the occasion for a gala celebration at which tribute was paid by the leading citizens of Lower Canada to the founders of the Company. These far-seeing men, c whose immediate object was the creation of a transportation link be- tween Montreal and New York, were pioneers of Canada's development. But perhaps even they could not visualize the vast country that would be built up as a result of the introduc- tion of the steam railway. The six- teen miles of line over which the "Dorchester", Canada's first loco- motive, hauled' the coaches carrying the distinguished guests of the Com- pany, has developed into the great Canadian National System, with 24,000 miles of line serving Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
