For about three hours before their arrival the military were assembling and the school children were gathering in the large amphitheatre which had been erected in lront ol the temporary station, a. wooden structure with green caroet and white Corinthian columns suit- ably decoratul with the Duke of York's colors and surmounted with Union Jacks and Canadian ensigns. ROYAL PARTY ARRIVE. The royal train was in sight of the station when Big Ben struck 2; but it was two or three minutes after the train was first sighted. during which the royal salute was boomed forth by the guns of the artillery, that it drew alongside the platform. Cheer upon cheer rent the air from the thousands of chiidren assembled, and as the Ducal party stepped out 0! the train the National Anthem was sung. The Duke and Duchess were received near the extreme west 0! the station, and walked up the platform, to the mahogany suite placed in the covered projection from which the procession started, accompanied by Hon. (3. W. Ross, Lord and Lady Minto and the lords and ladies in waiting. Toronto was fortunate in the first impression it gadc on their Royal Highnesscs. Alightlng from the train they were greeted by a never-to-bc- forgotten spectacle, which extortcd admiration from the seasoned Jour- nalists who had become bored with sight-seeing.

They were welcomed by His Worship, who escorted the Duke of Cornwall, while His Excellency took charge of the Duchess. and saw them safely to the point allotted for them. The guard presented arms and the crowd waved their handkerchiefs, hats and brellas in one continuous ovation. _ Everyone remarked how like their portraits the Duke and Duchess ap- peared. The latter was gowned in black, the only adornment being lflowers worn at the breast. The Duchess is a tall woman. of fine figâ€" ure and appearance, and many ex-l pre-sions of admiration were heard as she ascended to the upper plat- form and stood conspicuous before the multitude. DESCRIPTION OF THE DUKE. The Duke is a man of about med- ium height, wearing the fair beard and moustache in which he is gener- ally picturod. His face is somewhat tanned, as the result of his journeyâ€" ings around the world, and exposure to winds and waves of sea and prai- rie. He Was resplendent in the uni- form of an admiral, black. with gorâ€" geous facings of gold braid, and huge gold epaulets, and wearing the regulation cocked hat of black and gold. On his breast several stars and medals gleamed and shone. "u IV- u.-- . best 071111,: Affair. Nearly all had umbrellas, and kept them hoisted. THEIR H'IGHNESSES ARR IVE. A dull roar, which swelled to a mighty cheer, was heard as the roy- al carriage appeared, and speedily _A AL- Aftet: the reading of the civic ad- 'clresz-z,“the chorus sang another selec- tion, after which the members of the Council were presented to His Royal‘ Highness. This concluded the cere- monies, and Their Royal Highnesses departed at 4 o'clock amid thunders of applause and the playing of the National Anthem. THE EVENING SCENES. | Brilliant indeed was the finale of the day's programme, eclipsing any night scenes ever witnessed in Tor- onto. It was a city of light, and the streets were filled with crowds Iin a holiday mood, jubilant and de- monstrative, but not rough or bois- terous. Around the great outstand- [ing illuminations such as the Tem- ‘ple. the City Hall, the Parliament Buildings, Osgoodc Hall, and the idoWn-town establishments. thou- sands were gathered until a late ;hour. The Royal concert made Mas- l The review on Friday at the Exhi- ibition grounds made perhaps the «most unposing spectacle of the whole lroyal tom replete, as it has been, with the best efiorts of the civil and military authorities of the colonies. Ilmme‘diately in front on the grand istand a royal pavilion had been .erected, provided with seats, and :draped. A heavy mist, which at .times formed into a light drizzle. hung over the common on which the ‘ {ten thousand troops were drawn up, :so that the outlying regiments were ' hardly to be seen at all, and the big ' army wagons and the buildings of Stanley barracks loomed indistinctly out o! the vapor.

He and his suite rode down the long lines of infantry, cavalry and artillery, and then returned to the pavilion, his Royal Highness reigning up his horse and saluting the Duchess. _ to the Royal Canadian Regiment. The flags were handed to his Royal Highness, who placed them immedi- ately in the hands of kneeling recip- ients. The regiments were reprc.L sented by Col. Lessard and Col. Buchan.

The majors gal- lantry on the field of action in South Africa, won {or him the Vic- toria Cross, and he was the only one to-day to go up for the coveted distinction. The Cross was handed to the Duke as the big guardsman saluted, and the Duke of Rox- burghe began reading from a type- written account of the inajor’s deeds in South Africa. Mayor Howland, in his K. C. clothing and white necktie, had ap- pea ed from behind the pavilion with a bundle, from which he took a splendid silver mounted sword, the lcity's recognition of Major Cock- burn's bravery.

He then shook hands and heartily congratulated the soldier. presenting him at the same time with the sword. THE MARCH PAST. The review was a spectacle which not many Torontonians had had a previous opportunity of witnessing. The great expanse of common. stretching down to the hike, was covered with masses of scarlet and rifle green and khaki and dark blue. The white helmets looked in the dis- tance like beds of snowdrops. The ten thousand troops extended, rank on rank. to beyond the limits of vision on either side ; for a thick mist hovered over the scene until nearly the end of the ceremonies. When at last the sun did emerge from the vapours, it shone upon a splendid array. MARKETS OF THE WORLD Toronto, Oct. 15.--Wheatâ€"-The lo- cal market. was dull to-day with prices a shade easier.

Burned to Death in His Factory at Hamilton. A despatch from Hamilton, Ont., says:â€"--Prof. William ”and, head of the firm of Hand 00.. fireworks manufacturers, was terribly burned on Friday afternoon. lie was at work in a small sheet-iron building.l where fuses are made for fireworks,‘ and an explosion occurred. The building caught fire and Mr. Hand was caught in the flames. His son, T. W. Hand. rushed to his rescue, and found him lying on the floor. His face and hands and body were terribly burned. The unfortunate man was carried to the oflice and Dr. White summoned. The physician did what he could to alleviate the pain. and had Mr. Hand removed to St. Joseph's Hospital. The profes- sor Sank rapidly and died shortly af- ter ten o'clock to-night. He Was about sixty years of a *e and had re~ sided in Hamilton. The building where the explosion occurred was destroyed, and the con- cussion wrecked another building. It is not. known what caused the exploâ€" sion, but it is thought that Mr. Hand was Working with (shells and let them come together with too much force. Professor “and had been in the fireworks business for a number of years, and Was known all over Canada. The Swedes delight in “combina- tion diving," and two men will per- form many clever feats together. One of the most grotesque of these is when one man stands upright on the spring-board and tightly Clasps another man's body around the waist, holding him head downwards. and putting his own head through the man's legs. When the upright man springs from the board he throws his legs into the air so that the two men, clasping the other tightly round the waist, turn a som- ersnult, and when they reach the water the man who started upside down arrives feet forenmst. 'l‘he handspring dive is a very ef- fective specialty of Swedish swim- mers. 'i‘he performer takes on from the divingâ€"board with hands instead of feet, turning his body in order to descend feet foremost, or scanner- saulting to arrive head downwards. Very graceful also. is the back dive. in which the spring is made back- wards, the body turning toward: the spring-board. Double somemuit dives are made from platform thir- ty or fifty feet high. the diver mik- ing two turns in the air and enter- ing the water feet foremost.
