The Governor-General and Prin- cess at Kingston.
A telegram of the 30th says :—The re- ception in the City Hall, last evening, was the most successful event of the kind ever held in this city, and the presence of the Princess Louise made it pass off with more than usual eclat, This morning, as many as 3,000 visitors poured into the city from various points. The laying of the corner stones was the most important part of the day’s proceedings. The ceremonies com. menced at 11.30. There was about 8,000 people on the college grounds, and the Marquis and Princess received a grand ova- tion on the grounds. The trustees present- ed an address, to which His Excellency made a brief response. The henory degree of LL D. was conferred on His Excellency. The Governor-General inscribed his name on the roll of graduates, and then proceed- ed to the tower. A prayer was offered by the Moderator, and the architect presented His Excellency with a sketch of the build- ing. The Chancellor presented a silver trowel to the Marquis, on behalf of the trustees, and he laid one of the corner stones. The Principal presented another silver trowel to Her Royal Highness, and she also laid a corner stone, the architect assisting in each case. After the convoca- tion closed, His Excellency and Her Royal Highness planted two trees of mementoes. In the afternoon the Governor-General and Princess visited the Penitentiary, and His Excellency went alone to the Asylum. In the evening they attended a concert in the Opera Honse; the andience was very large and fashionable, and the whole entertain- ment a great success.
