Happy tented and Prosperous Good Climate of Toronto coming up It is a familiar remark that all cities are alike writes the special respondent of The London Standard who accompanied the royal party dur ing their tour In Canada however they entirely different Quebec for is a beautiful and ancient dame with the manners of a past age is a hoyden Victoria a dain ty maiden Ottawa a lady of fashion Montreal a solid business man and Toronto a welltodo citizen with a place in the country It was a feel ing of repose that we approached the of Ontario Night and day we had sped across bare heaths and thru great stretches of forest ful in their scarlet and purple ness Never have seen such masses of color the deep purple of the blue beech the trembling orange and gold of birch and aspen wreathed with the dark green of pines a carpet of nam ing scmunach all fading into a dream of pink and purple and green and against the cold blue of an autumn sky As we drew near to Toronto a new and quiet sense of home tame over us From the window of the train we looted out across English meadows and gardens and hedgerows right away to a blue line of hills and a grey sky Smiling homesteads pleasant hamlets busy towns glided past us leaving an impression of in dustry content and settled prosper ity people too reminded us strongly of home for we were the heart of a British and Protestant community Everywhere the But and Duchess had been welcomed warmly and heartily even in French and Catholic Quebec but in my ears the cheers of Toronto sounded more stirring more British in force and volume aw not sure that this feeling of home was not due in part to another cause It was raining The climate of Canada has been woefully misrepre sented people the wo Our Lady of the Snows and forget the license of the poet There ut a popular belief that in the Domin ion they leap from winter to sum mer without a spring Now journey of nearly six thousand miles we have had almost perfect weather Though on the edge winter only on one fleeting day have we had snow Three or four showers of rain and all the rest bright warn and sunny t5ven the winter as everyone will tell you is less trying than that for the air is clear and dry and still the thermometer may be many degrees below zero Only when the wind and that rarely do you need to wrap yourself In furs and avoid exposure Well it was In Toronto the sky was leaden and no one storried to give it a thought The children there were six thousand youngsters at the railway station sang their na tional songs waved their Union Jacks maple leaves and cheered as lustily as if the sun bad been shining on them and they were not soaked to the skin The streets were densely crowded and the enthusiasm was a thing to be Their Royal drove thru miles of in which are many beautiful re sidences gardens radiant with and avenues Id the city are many handsome churches and pub lic buildings with wellordered streets traversed in direction by elec tric trarnears Canada in a land nubile building and tramways Provincial capital has a pile of Gov ernment buildings that not dis credit a European capital and the wealthy merchants and citizens dis play admirable taste In the construc tion of their business houses and dwellings The is pleasing and surprising especially In not a quarter of a century old Their Royal Highnesses spent two busy days in Toronto- I have given by cable a brief description of the chief incidents The revie was the principal event- In numbers it sur passed any thing we nad seen in Can ada Nearly twelve thousand mm were drawn up on the shore of lake in front of nit thousand who watched with manifest Interest every evolution on the plain I have said before that the Canadians appear to take interest in the war than do the Australian Martial spirit is not sci manifest and the cadet system strong and widespread in Australia is here in its infancy From Toronto the Duke and Duchess a short and Vapid tour among the eastern towns of Ontario stop ping for a tew hours on the Thames in the County of Middle sex London is the centre of a rich agricultural district and the visit must have enabled them to form some opinion of the wonderful natural re sources of the country On every side were evidences of industry and thrift and of a soil that yields abundant harvests London is but one of a group of townships that give to On tario its preeminence as the est and most populous province in the Dominion In 1826 it was the ad ministrative centre and today it is the boast of London that more trains arrive and depart daily there than at any other point in Canada The most tie area of Ontario is its tributary and sends to its busy markets every kind of agricultural produce A great brewing industry has been established and London ales are famous the continent At Hamilton which the Duke and Duchess visited they saw another flourishing city A canopy of smoke rising from the foot of mountain at the head of Lake Ontario recalled Sheffield or Birming ham- And on near approach found a small capital of the Midlands for Hamilton claims that distinction The outskirts are mean and dingy and it is only when you- come to the heart of the city that you are reconciled to such meanness and in a laud of sir and light and space Hamilton can plead in extenuation an industri ous and thriving population T i V J
