The Vice - Regal. Visit
The Reception in Fredericton.
| From the St. John Sun} Since the visit of the Prince of Wales, nineteen years ago, Fredericton has not known such an excitement as it passed through to-day. Lord and Lady Dufferin were loyally received, as became geod Canadians, but it required a Princess of the Royal blood to stir the inner hearts of the people and ronse them to a pitch of enthu siasin never before reached. They seemed’ to look apon the Princess Louise asa fitting representative of her gracious mother, and no ene but the Queen herself could have called forth such a demonstratien. The city was CROWDED WITH STRANGERS from all parts of the country. At an early: hour in the morning the reads leading into} town were dotted with teams conveying’ loyal. ladies and patriotic men to see the Princess. A large excursion party arrived at noon, by the New Brunswick railway, from Woodstock and Fort Fairfield: The régular trains of the Fredericton road brought large freights, and it is estimated that fully 10,000.. persons were on the streets when the Princess rode from the wharf to Government House.. The town presented a
HOLIDAY APPEARANCE.
Nearly every building was decorated, and the ladies appeared in their choicest: out- door garments. As early as two e’clock people began gathering along the line of march, from Sherman’s wharf to Govern- ment House, every available window, house- top and other vantage point of view being occupied. The greatest crowd was in the vicinity of Sherman’s wharf, but from there down for miles the road was
BLACK WITH CARRIAGES.
At 2.30 o’elock the steamers ‘‘ Soulanges”’ and ‘‘ Flerenceville’’ sailed down stream, loaded with excursionists, to meet the ‘* David Weston” and escort her to the wharf. They were bedecked with flags, and, with bands playing, made a pretty spectacle. THE PREPARATIONS
at the wharf to receive the Vice-Regal party had been well conceived and well carried out to the letter. There was nu confusion or disorder’ among the crowd at any time, and, despite the long delay, try- ing to the patience of all, as the steamer was expected at or soon after four o'clock, every one seemed to accept the situation cheerfully. The best horses in Fredericton had been selected for the procession, and the carriages compared favorably with those of larger cities. Marshal Beckwith hada hard time getting each in his proper position, but before the steamer was sig- nalled the order'was perfeet. A prettier scene than the portion of the town
SURROUNDING THE LANDING STATION
is seldom seen. Directly in front rose. the stately cathedral, half hidden by a grove of elms, with four banners flying from. its tower, which stood out in bold relief against the green-clad hills beyond. The Parlia- ment Buildings, fortunately partially con- cealed by trees, blocked the view to the right. while the leng line of houses down Waterloo Row formed a pleasing border to the left. In the foreground the green was covered with a moving mass of humanity that swayed to and fro like trees in a gale, as they moved from one point to another to see some notable person or watch some unexpected movement of the troops on the wharf. The sight of a sieamer’s smoke at 4.35 o’clock, rising beyond the point that hides the turn iu the river two miles below town
SENT A THRILL,
through the crowd, and on all sides the cry went up, ‘‘the Princess is coming.” Fifteen minutes later the tug “‘Admiral,” with a pleasure party from the Boom, steamed into view, and the crowd saw their mistake. Another period of waiting, broken by the whistle of the Fredericton

welcome, followed by the bells all over the City. As the steamer-struck the wharf, pipers John R. Berrie, and Hosmer C. Crookshank struck up the ‘‘Campbells are coming.”’ While the steamer was being secured the Marquis and Princess. viewed the scene from the rear of the saloon deck, All being ready
THE PARTY LEFT THE STEAMER
in the following order : Capt. Harbord aud Major DeWinton first, followed by the Maryuis and Princess, with Mrs. DeWin- ton beside the Princess. They were re- ceived by Lieut. Governor Chandler, his private Secretary, Capt. Drury, A. D. C., and the Provincial Secretary. This being done the party proceeded up te the end of the wharf amid

and Major DeWinton entered =he Govern- or’s carriage, and Captain Harbord and Mrs. DeWinton took seats in the next car- riage, the same used for the Princess while in St. John.. The procession then : formed in the following order :— Marshal Beckwith and Aides Edgecombe and Dibblee. Carriage containing the Mayor, City Council and City Officials, Mounted Escort. Carriages containing the Provincial Govern- ment, Lieutenant Governor Chandler, Governor's Secretary, Col. Saun- ders and Capt. Drury, A..D.C. Mounted Escort. His Excetsency. anp Her Roya. High kss.

Cartiage’ containing Senator Wark and J, Pickard, M.P. °° Members of the Provincial Legislature, Carriages with Sheriff Temple; Warden Me- Bean; Coroner McPherson, Sé¢-Treas-’ urer Rainsford and members of the Municipal Council. - Citizens in carages, Then began A RUSH UP THE. STREETS. Teams and foot passengers, in one dense mass, rushed up ahead of the procession to catch another view of: the Princess and the Marquis, aud to add to the hearty demon- strations of welcome that would greet them all the way up Queen Street. The proces- sion started, but its progtess was slow. Cheer upon cheer marked every foot of their advance. In front of the Queen Hotel the Princess and Marquis bowed their acknowledgements to the w aying of handkerchiefs from the ladies who filled every window. It was the same past the Baker House, and on up the entire length of the street. People cheered till
THEY COULD CHEER NO MORE,
but the crowd seemed toincrease at every step, and there were more spectators around the City Hall than at any other point. The Market Square was densely. packed, and a tremendous volley of cheers went up as the Princess’ carriage moved slowly on. The march up Government House lane was slow, but on reaching the gate the mounted escort lined the carriage way through which the Princess and Marquis d. Atthe — they were met by Mrs. Chandler, the lady of the Lieut. Governer, and Mrs. E. Bb. Chandler, jr., who, being presented to the Princess by the Lieut. Governor, were by her presented to the Marquis. Mrs. Chand- ler then welcomed the Princess to the hos- pitality of Government House. The Prin- cess, with a sweet smile of thanks, crossed the threshold of the building, and the pro- cession broke up.
Taken as a whole, it was a dsmonstra- tion of which any city in Canada might feel
