¢ YEAR 76-NO. 139, © / KINGSTON, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, JUNE 15, 1909, 5S. HANONG A Royal Trip and Royal Entertainment. CAADIAN PRODUCT AND EVERY GUEST WAS PROUD OF IT. The Pleasures Derived From a Double Set of Hosts--The Railway Service Was Only Rivalled By the Delights of a Sail Upon Ome of the Great Lakes--Proud Kingstonians. entertainment was *provided for over 250 guests by the Grand Trunk railway company and the Northern Navigation company on the occasion of the inaugural trip of the SS. Hamonie on Saturday and Sun- day last. The weather was superb, the company brilliant and the ship and its appointments the fmest on fwesh water. as one put it: "IH 1] had a mouth like the St. Lawrence, a tongue as long as that of a sufira gette or of the Grand Trunk railway system, a voice like Niagara's roar, and an imaginative eloquence as pic: turesque as the scenery enjoyed, 1 could but inadequately present the beauties of the trip and the cordial sty and hospitality of our hosts!" "And that is going some," as Peter Patten, the official entertainer, re marked. HARA AAA + THE HAMONIC. Royal Length over all 365 feet. Length between per- ~~ pendieulars ro. 341 feet.

H, Gildersleeve, the ial manag- er of the company, a go "to the manor born." His name is on honored in navigation for a century of Kingston history. As one of a third generation of steamboat mer he had "bred in the bone" the ex- perience ahd courtesy of his ances tore. He did the honors with the smoothness and suavity that hag ever characterized them; nothing was too hard. for him to. do tox make -his friends happv. Capt. C. H. Nichol won, the traffic manager, too, was a former son of Kingston. He was the embodiment of kindness and genial aty. His wit, his handshake and his smile spoke even mere eloquently than his ready tongue. But it was Capt "Jim" Smith that Kingstonians look ed upon with pride. As manager of the Collingwood Shipbuilding com- pany he had put upon the = waters a Canadian ship unrivalled for beauty of lines, strength of timber and speed. 'I'he Hamonic simply took away one's breath, even to those who had long experience in shipping. A finer boat has yet to be built and the fact that the Hamonic wpe of Canadian design and" Canadian workmanship marked an era in Canadian navigation which the 'superb entertainment of last week fittingly exemplified. While Canadians" rejoiced over the oocasion they fondly wished that the craft might he but one of a fleet that will rock upon the billows of the - great lakes in vears to come. Capt.

Her equipment is the finest, ber embellishments substantial and rich, her accommodations ample and er steadiness, cvon in storm, a mat- ter of supreme confidence to the most timid. Saturday night, when Lake Huron rolled high, the stcamer's pas sengers were unaware of any conflict outside so swan-like did the vesscl | pierce the waves. \ The Toronto Star happily hit off the boat's gualities in these words : " Already they call the new visitor to lake ports, 'the Queen of the In land Seas," and apparently with good reason. The reputation of some the large passenger boats plying between United States ports has been deserv- edly high, but the Hamonic equals their capacity and ¢xcels them all in the beauty, harmony, and luxury of her intevior arrangements, All | the conveniences of the most perfectly ap pointed homes and the best ideas in the construction of all the latest trans-Atlantic liners have been adopt- ed in fitting up and finishing the ship. When, by her performance, Saturday and Sunday, she showed herself, in addition to these things, to be a mar- vel of steady locomotion, the title 'Queen of the Inland Seas' seems nhne too good for her." One of the most atiractive features of the whole hoat, is the observation room on the shade deck. This is de corated in '"'L'Art Nouveaun" style, the dimensions of the room being twenty- four feet by seventy-three. Whether by day or night this apartment forms a charming picture, for the passenger may it in easy chairs or divans and enjoy unobstructed views of the scen- ery by day, while at night the apart- ment is used as a ball room or con cert room. The Hamonic is to be put on the regular route between Sarnia, Fort William and Duluth, plying in connec tion with the Grand Trunk railway system. At Sarnia, the Grand Trunk hae built fine new terminals to be used in connection with this boat service. The landing station alongside the wharf has heen surmounted by a large ob servation room overlooking the lake and a covered promenade is being pro- vided so that passengers may pases from train to boat under shelter. Tt was at this fine building that Alfred Martin, land steward, and a former Kingstonian, was found in good health and as pleasant as ever. That the trial trip of the Hamonic marks the entry of the Grand Trunk as a factor in the competition for westcen trade both by rail and by lake was amply attested by the pro sence of Charles M. Hays, general manager of the Grand Travk, and practically all the general officers of the system in Canada. Insofar as tho Grand Trunk was concerned, no detai was lacking for the comfort of the guests, Messrs. G. 1. Bdl, J, D McDonald and H. R. Charlton were on hand at Toronto and met the guests of the company, looking alter their interests in a manner that left nothing to be desired. E. W, Smith supcriniendent of the dining and par lor car scrviee, had everything in readiness, and the journey from To- ronto te Collingwood took the visi tors through a portion of Ontaric which, in its summer dress, was moi! attractive to the eye of the tourist I'he train was oven swilta than this swift company has before provided; it demonstrated that ite roadbed was as smooth as glass, and as hard as 'granite; flying at the fast est speed no untoward experionces re sulted. The provision made on the train and on ihe ship for dining was ample, and excel lent. Not a thing was lacking, ever the tooth picks given by the Grand Trunk jewelled. The Hamonic' dining-hall is a dream, a feast in it sell. The service was remarkably fine even though the whole stafi was new to the boat. Many encomiums wert passed upon the performance of this delicate part of the entertainment. Sc gratified were the guests that they took occasion to mark their apprecia tion in a substantial manner by sub scribing $250 for the purchase of sil ver plate for the state room, whicl will later be presented, with a suit able inscription. As the Hamonic pull od into Sarnia a meeting was held presided over by Hon, Frank Coch rane, minister of mines, at which thi piece of silver was presented, anc speeches were delivered by Hon. W. J Hanna, provincial secretary: Capt Foote, of the Hamonic; C. M. Hays general manager of the Grand Trant railway; J. F. Mackay, of the Toron to Glgbe; L. J.

He says he was recalled when he had settled the trou- ble with Hollapd, and just as he was about to sign the protocol with France.
