Toronto, Aug. 10.-â€"'I‘he warmth and magnitude of the reception ex- tended by the military, and those in the more peaceful walks of civil life in Toronto, to Private Sam Per- ry, King’s Prizeman, will live in the memory of all who saw. or partici- pated. Crowds! It seemed as if there was not a soul in the city but who had flocked to the route of pa- rade or to the park to see and do honor to a slim khaki-clad youth Who, perched upon a gaily decorated __ .. _.._. ....41 gUn carriage, was the most modest figure in the whole procession. Even» the~well bronzed skin could not hide the blushes as. he bowed acknowledge- ments to the throng who cheered, or as he leaned over to grasp a hand here and there of some one more deeply stirred to enthusiasm. Streets Lined Six Deep. From the Union Depot, where the streets were densely packed, up York to King and up Yonge to College and thence to the Queen’s Park the side- walks were lined from three to six deep with all sorts and conditions of. Toronto people. And up through the park driveways it was the same. The scenes on the university lawn were inspiring to a degree. No more beautiful place is there in the city for such an event than the lawn. With the university in the back- ground and the broad spacious stretch of grass, and the shades of trees on the other three flanks, there was all the staging necessary for a. spectacular performance. And when, added to this, and shown, first in the flickeringr light of oil torches, and then in the glare of the red fire pyrotechnics and the gay showers from the rockets, was the eager, but good-natured mass of women and men and children, crushing and cran- ing, cheering and chattering then there were scenes indeed to make one marvel at the unrestrained manner in which Toronto gives the lie to the old adage that “a prophet. is not without honor save in his own coun- try.” Crush in the Park. A very conservative estimate plac- ed the number present at 50,000.;. One well-known officer; as he stood on the platform and allowed his gaze to wander over the very sea of heads to north, to south, to'east and to west,put himself on record-as countâ€" ing 150,000. '* The police arrangements had..bccn well mapped out, and there was a nicely ropedâ€"off enclosure for ' th‘g, tattoo program, a platform for the, ceremonies erected on the lawn just sit-y, and a reserved space in which invited guests were given chairs to see the tattoo and'witness the pre- scntations. The tattoo was carried out suc- cessfully, and there was a fine dis- play of fireworks. Then an attempt was made to carry out the real ‘and important portions of the evoning‘s program. But it was soon evident that any proceedings on the plat- form were but an empty vision for the few in the front row; the thou- sands formed but a surging mass, orderly but uncontrollable. Perry Didn’t Speak. And so the Speech-making was Soon abandoned. Even Private Perry was given no chance to return his thanks for the reception he had just receiv- ed. The presontations almost hurled at him and the proceedings announ- ced to-have terminated, and Perry, had just mounted a table to Show, himself in answer to popular request, while the crowds were filing away, when the entire platform collapsed. It is an act of providence that no one was killed, and the accident ' one sei‘kiusl'y.~ .. v. The injured are: Chas. Goodhand, 40 Wellington avenue, left leg broken; Edward Mcâ€" Lcu'ity, 992 Bathurst street, aged 14, left Shinbone badly bruised; Herman .l."nston, 807 Palmerston avenue, 1 id leg badly sprained; Hurry, l-iawkins, Davisville, aged 15. left instep bruised; Frank England. aged 16. left leg badly cut and bruised. The accident occurred at the COnâ€" clusion of the ceremonies on the stand and was caused by the rush of the crowd to see and Shake hands with Private Perry. ' At the Station. Pte. Perry had been received by Col. Otter and the members of the garrison committee at the Don Stu- tion, while Actingâ€"Mayor Ward and members of the City Council \Vere driving up to the station entrance. The train Was only five minutes late arriving. What happened on the sta- tion platform can be readily inmâ€" gined. Joseph Price, an uncle, and members of his family, were there, to greet the young riflcman. His father had accepted an invitation to act'nmâ€" parry the aldermanic party. While waiting for the troops to arrange. themselves outside, a‘ short dela‘y‘oc- curred, during which time Perry held an informal reception. Among. the officers present were Col. Otter, Lieut.â€"Cols. Stimson, Macdonald, Bruce and Merritt, Capt. Montgom- ery, Major Henderson, Capt. Grier”; Major Sankey, Licut. Young. Lieut. Linton and Capt. Moss. On his ar- rival, Ald. Ward and other members of the City Council Were introduced. l-‘crry wore the khaki uniform pat- terned after the mounted rifle style and issued by the. Dominion Rifle As~ sociation to the Bislcy team. On his way up from Montreal Peri ry was greeted at nearly all the way stations by cheering groups, and at. I’etcrboro quite a demonstration was given. The members of the local regiments did themselves proud in the large turnouts recorded. Che-red lhe Whole Way. As Perry was drawn thrOUgh the long lane of spectators along the whole route, the plaudits that were showered upon him were inspiring to listen to. Tribute From the Garrison. Captain Montgomery of the Gran-,1- diers stepped forward when the tem- porary stand was reached and read the address from the garrison. Col. Otter then made the presenta- tion of a cabinet of silver-Ware, shakâ€" ing hands with the recipient and cx« pressing pleasure at the ceremony. Col. the Hon. J. M. Gibson, as president of the Dominion Rifle A sâ€" sociation, then spoke, expressing his pleasure at taking part in the (Li-- monstration. He concluded by shyw ‘ing Perry had immortalized himself. On behalf of the Ontario Rifle Asâ€" sociation, its president, E. B. Osler, M.P., ofiercd congratulations on his. having won the blue ribbon of the rifle world over. Toronto’s Gift. Aid Ward, on behalf of the city, then presented a handsome grand- father’s clock. Col. Stimson followed, presenting a gold watch on behalf of the Grennâ€"- dicrs. Col. Merritt, for the Bodyguards,. presented a, hunting outfit, as the G. G. B. G. is the senior militia corps in Canada, and as such wished to Show their appreciation. The preâ€" sentation of a pair of seal rings from “F” Company, Urcnadiers, was thin made. ' Then the accident occurred and the formal proceedings were over. After the Conclusion of the formal ceremonial in the Queen's Park, the hero 0f the celebration was enter» tained by his old comrades of the Grenadich in their Sergeants Mess. room. ‘ Perry’s Thanks. The King’s prizeman, who through, ~.fout the rather trying circumstances south of the main entrance to varj flibore himself and his laurcls with becoming modesty, said he could hardly express how much he had felt the reception accorded him in his native city. It had been overwhelm ing. “I am not accustomed to put :rw sentiments into words,” he Said. “but I desire to express my thaws to all who have shared in the (leâ€" monstration. It has far exceeded anything 1 anticipated, and I 2091 deeply honored at all that has been done.” ' Senator Gibson Married. London, Aug. 10,â€"Scnator Gilmon was married yesterday to _Margaret MacKic, second daughter of the late Alexander ll’lacK'ic of l’etcrhcad, north of Aberdeen. ID. Mclx’ellcr was best man. J. Grey, brother-in-law of the bride, gave her away. Miss Gibson, cousin of the Senator, was bridesmaid. The reception was at the house of Mr. Grey. Among the guests present were Wm.
