THE QUEEN'S JUBILEE,

How Celebrated in Halifax.

NOTES BY THE WAY.

‘* Ler her go,” was the authoritative an- nouncement that all was in readiness, and

the steamer Princess of Wales was soon steaming down the Hillsborough, under the careful management of Capt. Cameron, at a few minutes past 7 a.m. Quite a number

te to Halifax, to wit- the celebration of Her Majesty's Jubilee. Two of our party had, this plea- sant morning, consummated their vows at Hymen’s altar, and were now for the first time upon the sea of life together. Their popularity in Charlottetown was fully evinced by the number of friends congre- gated on Great George Street to see them off and give them the usual baptism of rice. May Mr. and Mrs. Quirk long be spared to enjoy all the pleasures of this life.

Arriving at Pictou Landing most of our party went over to visit the town, and on their return were supplemented by about a3 large a number of its fashionable citizens as the old Mayflower could carry. The start was then made for Truro, and we were soon rolling along the I. C. R. at a merry rate. At New Glasgow and other points our train was awaited by hundreds, and ere our arrival at Truro we were far behind This was disagreeable, but our dis- considerably increased that the Quebec express was overloaded and an hour behind time, and for which we would have to wait. How- ever, the considerate despatcher very wisely converted us into a special, and sent us on our way rejoicing. The Jubilee is surely the generous outcome of true and loving hearts, or why are all these thousands of people pressing towards Halifax / Let the objectors answer.

half late, all is a scene of commotion. The spacious depot is all life, and the pleasure seekers are pressing forward to ascertain where he can lay his head. It was somewhat disheartening to learn that

the hotels were all full and overflowing, but through the kindness of a friend, your special correspondent was introduced to a private family where he received every at- tention.

This was the night of the opening, and the programme called for a grand subscrip- tion ball at the Exhibition Building, which was duly honored by all the leadirg digna- taries and leading citizens. Tuesday being fine all was astir at au early date. At 8 o'clock a salute of 50 guns was fired from the Citadel shaking the very earth. Then came the turn out of the Royal British Veterans’ Society—the only society of its kind in Canada. Weare indebted to the politeness of its obliging Secretary, Mr. H. H. Jackson, for information respecting

its origin and object. Organized on the 9th September (Sebastopol day) ss composed of veterans of both army and

navy who are not now connected with the British service. It isa benefit society and has for its object the care of its members who become aged or incapacitaed. The society numbers about 200 members, 150 of whom were on parade, headed by the band of the 66th. They presented a good ap- pearance and, as such men ever ought, are esteemed by all.

At 10 o'clock, came the massing of the children on the north glacis of the citadel facing the immense Common: The clash- ing 6f arms, the roar of artillery and the bursting of torpedoes may be terrifically grand, but of all the magnificent sights dis- played, none equalled that presented by the children. To the number of about 4,000 they stood facing the Governor's stand, each school under the direction of its respective teacher. They were enclosed by an immense audience, which with the children was estimated at 20,000. Flags innumerable fluttered in the bright sun- shine; and as the committee had most wisely offered prizes for the three best ban- ners, each school had its respective ban- ner with appropriate mottoes. Upon the stand, sat His Honor Lieut.-Governor Richey, and beside him as president of the meeting, sat H. C. Blackador, Chairman of the School Board. They were accom- panied by several officers in full uniform and other distinguished persons, both male and female. To this desired vantage ground your correspondent was admitted and took his seat with several reporters and artists.

Governor Richey is a noble looking man, with a countenance indicating a man of great firmness of character. As he sat waiting for the crucial moment to arrive when he would be called upon to address the vast assembly, two dear little girls from St. Mary’s (Convent) school tripped forward and presented him with a beantiful boquet of lovely flowers. In accepting the boquet at their hands he caught each little girl in his arms, and in the most loving manner kissed the ‘‘little dears,” as he fondly called them. No doubt, in after life, these ‘‘ little dears” will often relate how the dear, good Governor Richey kissed them when they were young! Now eame the Governor's address which has been reported as follows :—

‘“‘lam glad to meet these thousands of children assembled on this auspicious morning to unite in praise and thanksgiving for the preservation to us for fifty years of our noble Queen. It was a grand inpiration of the poet laureate long years ago,referring to her reign, when he made

“The children of our children say She wrought our people lasting good.”

You are the children of the children, or the children of the children of that age, who are now saying ‘ she wrought her children lasting good.’ When Victoria ascended the English throne she inherited the right of ruling one- seventh of the inhabitants of the earth, and that was a glorious inheritance. Now, little less than one-fourth of the human race is under her sway. No dream of a Cwsar or an Alexander could have visioned an empire so vast; her people are everywhere, no continent of earth, no sea begemed

with islands where our grand

asa morning orison or an evening prayer. This great empire, this extended empire was given, not sought by any lust of power, nor was it the result of ambition on her part. Victoria can lay her hand on her heart to-day and confidently say that she never stretched forth her hand to raise her armies to aggres- sion. Through all her long reign she has strenuously maintained the right. Acting up to the high standard that righteousness exalt- eth a nation, her rule has been long and suc- cessful. I dare not undertake the task of placing before you the many virtues of our (Queen ; they have received to-day that attes- tation in the celebration of to-day that I might expect. I shall therefore be content

The chairman then called upon John A. Bell, Esq., City Auditor, who read in an eloquent manner, an original ode.

Next came the presentation of prizes for the best banners, with the following result:

Immediately in front of the stand and a little to the left of the Governor, stood the children of the Deaf and Dumb School, with the following appropriate motto:

‘*The children of silence, Sealed lips but loyal hearts.”

CONCERT AND DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES,

On Wednesday evening last the pupils attending the above named institution were massed in the grand hall to receive the prizes earned during the scholastic year. Among those present we noticed His Lordship Bishop McIntyre, Revs. Jas. McDonald, V. G., Angus McDonald, Pius McPhee, Charles McDonald, Gregory Me- Donald, D. F. McDonald, A. J. McDonald, Dr. Grant, Dr. O'Ryan, Dr. Chaisson, 5. Boudreault, F. X. Gallant, McLean, Boyd, James “Eneas McDonald, Laughlan McDon- ald, D. J. Gillis, Rev. A. J. McIntyre, Hon. W. W. Sullivan, P. Blake, Esq., M. P. P., James Byrne, Esq., C. C., Professor Caven, Edward Roche, Esq., and a large number of other friends of the institation.

The stage was nicely decorated with paint- ings of the pupilsin oil and watercolors, and the girls, dressed in white, occupied eleva- ted seats on either side thereof. The programme, consisting of vocal and instru- mental music, recitations, etc., was carried out ina manner which would do credit to much older performers, and which clearly showed the thoroughness of the instruc- tion imparted in this excellent institution. Miss Winnie Blake’s valedictory address was brief and pointed and was well re- ceived. Where all the performers acquit- ted themselves so creditably it would be in- vidious for us to single out any one more than another for special praise.

After the pupils had been addressed by His Lordship the Bishop, and God Save the Queen had been played, the audience dispersed, well pleased with the evening's entertainment and more than ever con- vinced of the excellent training given the pupils of the Convent.
