King Solomon had the wisdom to commence his reign by confes- sing his need of divine help and guidance, and like him in this particular, when in the dawn of that day sixty years ago Victcria was called from her slumber by the Archbishop of Canter- bury and Lord COnyngham to be told she was tqueeu, she said pray for me. When Solomon ‘became old his heart was turned away and wu not perfect with God, but unlike him the Christian piety and human sympathy of Queen Victoda has grown and ripened with the suc-‘ cession of years, and we can doubt not but‘ that she to-dav stands in closer communionl with God than in the youth of her beautiful character, as we know her sympathies have found for her a deeper place in the hearts of her people. Knowing as we do the force of example from LINDSAY, THURSDAY, JUNE 24th I never look upon a. monument erected to the memory of a. great man but I think that monu- ment should contain an inscription to the memory of the man’s mother. The mothers who have given to the world her heroic char- acters have done little if anything less for mankind than those men themselves have done. I want you to think of the queen as a kind- hearted woman who would be as much inter- ested in this gathering of children as any mother here. A womanly queen who surround- ed her throne and court with people of good morals and high aspirations in life. A great woman who exercised her sovereign powers and authority wisely and well. ‘ In these days when we give praise to all that is good and great in Queen \‘ictoria’s long life, we should ever nforget the part played b) her own mother, who left her native land and her own people in Belgium and devoted herself 1 1-: the education of her child in order to qualify her for her high and responsible station.

Do you think 0! her as sitting in her parlor eating bread and honey, or is it as some mysterious personage ever in ease and luxury surrounded by dazzling glory and splendour. Do your minds run on such thoughts as these until you are lost in a mystic wonderment? I want you to think of her as a good and great and wise woman, a woman who set her people an example of an ‘ideal home where mutual trust and confidence reigned supreme; where their was splendid discipline, where law and good order prevailed among the members of her family from her noble husband and herself down.

" r """ Oceans, seas, lakes and rivers have been connected by canals, broad expanses of water have been bridged over or tunneled under and mountains haVe been climbed and penetrated in railway construction until the seven wonders of the old world have become common plate and have been excelled and overshadowed in the myriads of wonders in modem achieve- ment. This age saw the first steamship cross the Atlantic and now eVery ocean and sea is dotted witn these wonders, from the majestic ocean greyhound to the smaller ocean tramp. The steam railway was then a matter of experiment wand the express train had attained a speed little better than halt the speed ofa bicycle of 1897. To-day these wads of iron form a network all over the world and have attained a speed of 62 miles per hour and With the steamship are hurrying men and the products of the land and man’s labor to and fro upon the earth ; met these ships the flag of Britain predominates, in the building of these ships and railways British capital and industry and enterprise have taken a foremost place.

The statesmen at Westminister have faults, yet it will be readily admitted that they are the purest in the world, and for this the queen is entitled to her due share of credit as well as the people. Those who ought to know say that much ofthe pure tone of public life is directly to be attributed to her. I do not claim for the British empire all the credit for all human progress in the past sixty years, nor do I claim that the queen should have all the praise that belongs to her empire, but I do claim that as the champion of individual freedom and as the foremost of the nations of the world, we are entitled to the greatest share of this credit, and to the queen herself is due much more praise for all that has been suc- cessful and good in uti'airs of state than we have ‘ been accustomed to grant. Just how much she is to be commended and how much she may be blamed can never be fully known, so close a secret are all communications between the ,sovereigns and the ministers of the crown, but if you believe that she has been a mere figure head, he at once undeccived. She has said herself that she was taught in her youth to love the constitution of her Country, and all through her long reign she has shown the utmost respect for that constitution. She has ruled by the advice of her ministers, and at the same time has done much to assist her minis- ters in Coming to right judgments. every walk in life, ict no person underestimate the good that has been worked throughout the whole world by the purer and better life in the court of St. James under the queen.

Bc true to the flag that has braved a. thousand l 'cars the battle and the breeze, the flag that brings justice and freedom and toleration wherever it is unfurled. Go forward in the march ( f time, work out our national destiny, and remember always that true national great- n:ss is wound up in a. deep sense of our responsibility to God and of duty to our fellow man. At the conclusion of his eloquent address Mr. Stewart was warmly_appla_uded. Of all the colonies in the empire Canada stands easily first, a vigorous climate they say; well, if so a climate which we like and that produces in abundance of everything that man needs and much else beside. Some of our young men have gone to foreign lands seeking wealth while our own fair country contains resources in products of the soil, in fisheries, in~timher and minerals not excelled anywhere in the world and with laws and civil institu-‘ tions of the very first order. This is the land of your birth, make it your permanent home, give your lite to it. There is promise in it, ah that you may desire. Let us hope to see in the future a growth of industrial success and national development such as we have not hitherto known. The sons of the Bzitish Isles have made them homes in every land under every flag. Has not the time come when we should aspire to remain under the folds of our own flag. The skies and climate, soil and resources of our empire are so varied and diversified that no man need expatriate himself in search of a. congenial place to dweli. -.-- . ‘ bun» in among the throngs of men. Upon you will fail the duties and responsibilities of lite that to-day are borne by your seniors, to you will some the task of tleVelOp‘ing and solidifying this great empire, of bringing the parts to gether in a close working union, 01 carrying turther the developments of science, discovery and invention, of lightening the burdens that oppress mankind, of making human society what it ought to be. Remember that which has been done is but earnest of the things which you may do. Do not understand me as saying our people have suffered no wrong to lexisr, much as has been done more may yet be ldnne. Remove injustice wherever you find it. ‘ You cannot stand still, you must go forward or ‘go backward. Improve the time now byf every attention to the teachings of your parents, your teachers and all the means of education Your fathers have provided you with admirable schools, the best that they are able.

An interesting game of cricket was played on the Union school grounds 'be- tween the Lindsey: and a beam ftozn Heliburton and Kitkfield, which out of courtesy was called the all-north. It was a one innings game and was won by the home team. The bowling on both sides was exceptionally good. to hydrant work. Notwithstanding this they made a good showing and earned the hearty respect of their opponents by their pluck in coming to Lindsay in order than they might test their capabilities. Already the G.T.R. boys talk of visiting Bobcaygeon for a friendly contest. EXHIBITION or WATERWORKS. Shortly after ten o’clock an alarm was sounded and the tire “laddxes” came tearing down street and in a remarkably short space of time had three fine streams. cf,l water playing on Kent-st. This feature answered a double purposeâ€"for it not only showed the efficacy of our protection against fire but it was a pleasing exhibition to our visitors. This nose REEL (:om'm'rrxox. The greatest harmony prevailed be- tween the only two competing teams inthis event, namely, the G.T.R. and Bobeaygeon hose teams. Not a few anxious enquiries were heard as to “What’s the matter with Lindsay." Well, Lindsay’s fire brigade is all right, but they are too modest to Compete in trials of this kind. The popular G.T.R. hose team was made up ‘» as follows: Mr. J. Storer, chief ; Mr. T. ‘ Walton, captain ; and Messrs. T. Crossen, J. Archer. E. Greenshields, J. Walton. Robt. Preston. S.

Prescott and J. Mofi'att. Mr. A. Bab- cock acted as hydrant man for both teams. Following are the movements, which were all run on time : (1).
