At the entrance to the Park is Government House, official resi- dence of His Honour Lieutenant Governor DeBlois. which dates back to pre-Confederations days and is a fine example of Colonial architec- ture. Its lawns and gardens are too lovely to be missed by any visitor with an eye to landscape beauty.

Another beauty spot within a vhort distance of the City is the Dominion Experimental Farm. which is the distributing centre for information and advice on agri- cultural matters for the Province.

Most impressive of Charlotte- town's church buildings is St. Dun- ltans Basilica rRoman Catholic). built in pure Gothic style and beautifully finished throughout.

l Under Masonic Auspices

Ninety-five years ago. on May 10, 3 1843, in the fifth year of Her Most ,Gracious Majesty. Queen Victoria,

,an important ceremony took place-

l in Charlottetown. It was the lay- l mg of the corner stone of the Col.- ;onlai Building lncrw the Provincial gBuildingi which subsequently was , to become the meeting place of the lflathera of Confederation.

i 8o great was the public interest t in the function. that a large stand ‘had w be erected for the accom- lmodaltion of spectators. with seats lprovided m: the ladies.

l A Guard ol Honour was drawn up on the south side of the build- ing near the South corner. to re- ceive His Excellency the Lieuten- ant Governor. Sir Henry Vere l Huntley, who was to lay the stone. I Two field pieces were placed in the l rear of the Guard.

At t/wo o'clock His Excellency ar- grivcd with hi; suite. He was pre- | ceded by St. John's Lodge of Free ‘ Masons. and a procession consisting

of the Hon. Edward J. Jarvis, Chie Justice. the Building Commission- ers. the Speaker of the House of Assembly, the Riisne Judges. mem-

where the guests o! the

l bers of the House of Assembly. Dub- llic officers and Magistrates.

i During the ceremony His Ex- ‘cellency expressed himself as feel- ling "a pleasing anticipation of the ltime. now not far distant. when, within the walls now to be erected. would be heard the words of truth and devoted loyalty recommending the adoption of sound and salutary measures for the benefit of the Col- ony."

There followed “three spontane- ous and hearty cheers. expressive of the general feeling of gratifica- tion that existed at the prospect of a speedy erection of an elegant, spacious public buildinl to remain as a token and proof of the im- portahce of the Colony and the stability of its government."

On Tuesday, January 75. i847. at three o'clock. His Eitoeilsnoy cams down with the usual state and open- ed the first Session o! the Bevan- teenth General Assembly of Prince Edward Island in the new Colonial Building.
