From the Convent tbe distinguished

of Here the students of tne Prince were massed, and they joined in the welcome to the Vice Regal party. Lord Aberdeen then briefly addressed the students, after which the

were received by a guard

and proceeded to Saw merside where # loyal reception awaited them.

The special with the aod friends stupped tor a St. Dunstan’s Cellege siding, where they were greeted by the College Faculty and stadents. Qn the approach of the train the College glee Liub played and sang the National Anthem, and when the train came toa standstill, their Excellencie-{ came forward on the rear platform of the car when the following address was read to them :

To Their Excellencies the Kar! and Count- ess of Aberdeen. May it please Your Excelleneies,—

We, the students of St. Danatan’s Col- lege, beg ieave to jvia in the hearty welcome with which you nave been greeted by the people of Prince Edward Island ov this

We regret that vour sojourn amongst us has been 8o brief as to make it impossible for you to pay a visit to our in-<titution, for we assure you that no students im Canada more fully appreciate the deep interest Your Excellencies

After the presentation of the address Hie Excellency replied in fitting terms acknowledging the honor paid to hiuself and Lady Aberdeen, and spoke words of encouragementte the students. The college faculty were thea introduced by | His Lord+hip Biehop Macdonald = after which the Vieeregal party proceeded to Summerside amid the hearty cheers of the college boys.

The Vice Regal party occupied the Superintendent’s private car during the trip to Summerside. Among those accom: panying them on the trip were His Honor the Lieutenant Governor and Mrs. Howlao, Sir Louis and Mrs. Davies, Bishop Mac- donald, Premier Peters and Superiniendent Starp. The train was in charge of Conductor McKee.

Owing to lack of time and space we were unable yesterday to farnish ovr readers with the full text ef Lord Aberdeeu’s reply to the addresses presented to him at the Opera House. His Enxcellency’s reply in full is as follows:

YourHonsour, Mr. Peters, Sir Louis Daves

Ladies and Gentleu.en :—

With most sincere feelings of grateful appreciation I receive this address from the Governwent of Prince Edward Island. I can assure you that the circumsiance tnat this ie not our first visit enhances for ue the value of such a token of greeting and welcome,and also the memory and the pleasant experienc. of our former visit has made us look forward to this resewed opportunity of making acquaintances with this favored isle and its people with par- ticular pleasure and ratisfaction. (Ap- plause). Arid certainly we have reason to exchange congratalat.ons with our Kind friends here regarding..the pleasant and auspicious manner in which we have been permitted again to come imto your midst. Nothing could have been more delightfal than the voyageto this island this morving in the good ship “Acadia.” (Applause) Perbaps there is a epecial appropriateness in the Govenor General of tbe Dominion being conveyed in such a manner because among his official designations though not apecifically alluded to in this address I believe he may claim to be Vice Admiral of Prince Edward Island. (Applause) I did not however attempt to interfere with the excellent commandership of Captain Spain during the voyage—but none the less do I claim a titular connection with Prince Edward Island. (Loud Applause). I notice with peculiar pleasure theallusion you make regarding the development of the agricaltu- rai resources of this Island. I bave a very clear recollection of the occasion referred to in thie address when a large audience of the inhabitants o! this Island assembled to hear addresses, especially from Prof.

Robertson, the Dominion Commissioner of Agriculture, who, as he usually does, gave

the special allusions made to matters tu |

which Her Excellency 1s particularly © ia-

| terested are not only gratifying but verv

encouraging to ber. She is looking forward to meeting after the firat part of these pro - ceedings is over those ladies Who may be willing to confer with he: op some of the movements alladed to in this address. (Applause.)

May I say thattoa Scotchman the Scottish greetiag was of peculiar value. Of course we Scotchmen with our characteristic modesty do not like talking about ourselves (laughter) and our doings

| -—except on Stu. Aadrew’s day. Now ifthis

were St. Andrew’s day [ might look forward to an opportunity of exchanging greetings with our friends in Highiand costame who have presented this address. I re- collect when I drove on the ground and

j saw what I did see at Georgetown I said:

“T feel as if I were entering the grounds of Haddo Houre on our gala day.” That pression remains yery vividly on my mind, (Applau-e). It is delight'al to be greeted with this charmiagly hearty Highlead welcome. (Applause) I need bardly say that since we cameto Canada we bave from time to time met our Scottish couatrymen. I hope Scotch- men have earoed a sufticientiy respectable position in the Dominion not to cause allusion to them to be a cause of annoy-

ance to thee who have not the good fortuoe of beng Scoten- men. (Laughter aad applause.) = It

is gratifying to fied them, in conjunction with other nationalities, j ining in building up the country, not only in a material but in the moral, educational and religiour sense, also combiviagfto make the Domin- ion worthy of the yreat heritage with which the Almigbty bas been pleased. to entrust the people of Cunada. (Loud applause.)

Let me again thank you for this address and offer to you the most cordial wishes

for the people of Charlottetown, who nave.

come oat in this magnificent manner to meet us and also for the islaud of Prince Edward. (Applause.)

After the reception His Excelleocy again said : —

I cannot help wishing before we proceed to the next portion of the arrangments to express our sense ; and recogvition of the admirable organization which has evabled us to see what is certainly a very striking ene namely this large audience, and also our appreciation of the arrangements

for the presentations which have just taken: place. On'ench an occasion as this ovgan- ization mav be said to be everything We have to lay bad An ¢ xcellent example of how good arrangments contribute tothe comfort and enjoyment of all concerned and I suppose I shal! not be fer wrong if [ in- dicate the supposition that Sir Louis Davies has had consid-rable to do with the arrangements on this occasion which certainly place us, and this large gather-

(oud applause. )

[ desire ta congratulate Sir L nis Davies upon his visit in conj petion with many other jead-ng oflicials who have gone tothe Qld Country in this the Jubilee year and though the actual celebration is past we may continue to reflect npon that event. (Applause.)

His Excellency concluded bv referrirg to the fact that two other§Canadian Fhip- had escorted the A@sdia om the passage from Pictou,

Sir L H Davies then announced the departuce of Lond Aberdeen and a party of friends to Victoria Park to inspect the militia and the officers and men of the saips. Sir Louis also ir- timated that he had been requested by the ladies Of Charlottetown to ask Mrs Avderson, wife of Doctor Anderson, the esteemed Principal of our leading

what

the

the ladies’ meeting to be addressed by Lady Aberdeen.

Mrs Anderson accordingly took the chair and after brief but fitting remarks called on Her Enc:liency to address the meetings:

Lady Aberdeen was received with prolonged applause. She cordially thanked the lange number whe had come out ‘0 consider the subject of forming a Local Ceuncil in connection with the Women’s National Council. She also expressed her indebteduess for

the admirable arrangements that had been made. Having been elected President of the Women's National

Council of Canada she felt it a duty as well as a privilege to explain its work- ing to those desirous of hearing. She had no desire to unduly press te mat- ter. She then gave a short review of the origin of the Council, dispelling the idea that it arose with herself. Its sim is to consolidate the different societies of women so that the members thereof may come more in touch with one another and thus be better fitted for accomplishing the objects.they have ia view. The Local Council is formed simply by re- presentatives from every Society with which women are connected. Every member of these societies thus becowes a member of the Council. She advised her hearers to form a provisional com- mittee who’could fully discuss the mat- ter. She then went onto explain the practical benefits resulting from the Woman's Council. Sister workers meeting together have their faith in- creased and their charity widened. The Council has been found capable of adapting itself to the particular needs of a community. In some cases libra- ries and reading rooms have been es- tablished, in otders charitable institu- tions, while some demonstrate the p~ac-

ticability of ‘teaching young girls in the schools:. the useful arts of cooking .agd sewing, arts

with which every young lady: should be amiliar. The inspection and iuproved meut of factories and wi rkshops where girls are employed is anotwer practical benefit acruing from the | Women’s Council... Her Excellency then made a brief reference to the Victorian Order of Nurses. pointing out the helpful work which they might perform when the ordor is hefeafter organised.

Sir Louis in a short speech moved that a0 ¢Xpression of unanimous gocd will be tendered Lady Aberdeen for the kind, courteous, considerate, clear «and up- lifting speech which she bad delivered. in promoting a scheme for the better- ment of the people of Canada. ote

The motion was seconded by Senator Ferguson, supported by Bishop Me- Donald and heartily carried.

Judge Fitzgerald then moved that a meeting of those interested be held |

at 11 o’clock, to further consider the matter. The mation was seconded by Hon. TD). Laird and earried. tae The decorations of the stage and of the interior ot the Opera House called forih mavy expressions of admiration. The frout of the stage-was otpamented with ay large number of fi,wering, begonias in orgeous bloom while larger plants we. placed in.the rear. The arrangement wes very pleasing. The front of the balcony was bung with buntiog, and expressions of welcome in Jerzs illuminated letters confronted the distinguished visito-s on the stage. The decorations were under the direction of Mr. Arthur Newbery and Mr. Thomas May, while the beautiful plants were procured from that veteran

gardener, Mr. Tat, who has charge of

‘Queen Square Gardens.

At the Park,to which His Excellency accompanied by the Lieutenant-Governor, the aides-de- campand the members of the

City Council repaired after leaving the Opera House, the guard of honor and a rquad of blue jackets from the cruisers were drawn up in review order. The volunteers were warched past in quarter eolumn, and thesailors in file. The march- ing was excellent, our:militiamen keeping etep and dressing exceedingiy well. The
