Refused to Agree to Wait Six Months to Emma Postal Pact; As in Montreal, the Scotch were out in force‘when Dr. Watson arrived in Toronto, with all their badges and insignia. They all wanted to see “ Ian MacLaren,” and he was unable to see any of them. After lunching at Mr. E. Gurney’s the distinguished author and his wife were driven about the city all the rest of the day, until it was time to lecture. Lord Aberdeen presided, and it is a matter worthy of record that the largest audience that ever attended any one- man entertainment in Toronto, and paid fancy pricas, was the one drawn to hear “Ian MacLaren’s” readings: “A more enthusiastic welcome one seldom sees. sepecially in America.” wrote Major Pond afterwardsx “It was more like Welsh enthusiasm.” Dr. Watson amused the audience at the beginning of one of his lectures by telling of a letter he had received asking whether the fiist name of his pseudonym was pronounced Ian, Eean Yan, Yon Yane John, Jan or Jane. “In answer to this question.” want to pronounCe it like an English man, you will say I- -,au if like a Scotchman, Ee an, and if like a Hiwho landei, E3 on.” CANADA WAS 'L'HE OBJECL‘UR “Janie,” said he. "I guess the boys are not thinking of where we are just now. If we hadn’t promised those bicycles we wouldn't be here.” And so he kept the chilly air out by making sunshine at midnight. The fire had gone out in the stove in the station waiting-room. and all the coal was locked up in the shed out- side, and to crown it all the train was forty minutes late. ”Ian Mac- Laren.” however, enjoyed it, and by-and bye the train came, and the party had a comfortable ride intol Toronto. m., and it was necessary to drive to Kingston Junction in a rickety old back. with the memometer at zero. Mrs. Watson didn’t enjoy it. but the doctor was beaming, as though he had a normal night’s sleep. t From OctaWa the party went t0' Kingsnon, where Dr. and Mrs. Wat? son were guests of the late Principal’ Grant. The train for Toronao left at! an uncomforcable early hour of 1 a. ' “Major, isn’t this a wonderful country? Think of it: I, a Scotch minister, have given readings for a gentleman of the Church of England. in a John Knox Presbyterian Church introduced by a Roman Catholic!” One of the most novel experiences of Ian Maclaren’s career was at the time of his visit to Ottawa. Rev. R E. Knowles, of Knox Church, Gait. who has since that time made a mark as a Scotch story writer, was then a clergyman in Ottawa, and was look- ing after the management of the lac. tnre, which was given in Knox Pres- byterian church. Sir Wilfrid Laurier the Premier of Canada. presided. When the doctor told that a Roman Catholic would introduce him in a. Presbyterian church he was greatly surprised Later in the evening he said to Maior Pond: Some Remini scences' of the Scottish Writer’s Visit to the Dominion when he was in the Zenith of his fame. In 1896 Dr. John Watson, who as “In Msoleren” had become famcug thronghtout this continent. visited America and addressed about one hundred audiences in the cities of the United States and Cenedn. Major J. B. Pond. who conducted the tour, recalls some reminiscenses con. nectsd with this visit of the Scottish writer to Canada. IAN “CLARKE IN CANADA (Special to the Mail and Empire.)
