Kiugston's Crack Artillery Brigade Enroute To the War -- Pitiful Scenes At the C. P, R. Station. Thousands cheered the Royal Cana dian Horse Artillery as the C.P.R. train bearing Kingston's crack artil- lery brigade pulled out at eight o'clock on Thursday, evening. The citizens turned out en masse to say good-bye to the artillevists who received orders to proceed to Camp Valcartier in pre- paration for the trip to Europe to take part in the war At five o'clock the horses of the bri- wade were loaded into the cars for shipment, and from that time on the farewells were said. As early as 5.30 o'dlock there was a big crowd on the CLR. 'platiorm to see the departure { of the soldier-boys Men, women and children from that time on came down to the station and swelled the throng. The train was due to leave at seven o'clock, but various tumgs caused de lays, and it was five minutes after eight before the train pulled out. The passenger part of the train backed into the station at 7.30 o'clock, the brakesman having to blow his whistle constantly to warn the people to get off the tracks. Then amid the music of the band and the talk, laughtur and sobs of the people, the artillorymen started to fill the coaches, A Pullman on the end of the train was for the fifteen officers, and the rest of the train was for the 287 «men. First the men marched up with the full equipment, consisting of over- coat, cross-belt (for waist-belt, canteen, canvas-covered helmets, forms and puttees. They then "'un- loaded' in their chosen seat in the cars and returned to the platform for their farewell to their families and friends. One soldier was in earnest conversation with his sweetheart, try- ing to persuade her to be brave aw not crv. She had been crying, her red eyém, told on her, but to be ashamed of Another was standing near the steps of a car brace up, but continuail on her soldierman's her heart kharki uni not head and cried as if until the train pul | would laid her heac rman' y shoulder and crie as i »r hes would break, y ulled out. A man, presumably her brother, | tried to comfort her, but she saw only her brave soldier going on a tram and eaving her for dear knows how long It was pitiful to see the anguish that the departure of the soldi wised, and although their grief was forced back: by some, others gave way com- pletely. Some of the wept while others maintained a brave front and laughed and chatted till the train pulled out. Gunners and non- coms, kissed their "kids" good-bye a number of times Some of the wives took it as a matfer.of course that their husbands should go away. It never occurred to them that their '"'men" might not return The soldiers left Kingston with brave hearts and smiling faces. They all seemed anxious to go and by the songs they sang with enthusiasm their patriotism cannot be questioned. "Rule Britannia' was the great fa- vorite and was sung by three coach- loads at one time. One of the sol diers said : "Hoch der kaiser--T don't think," and was loudly cheered. There were strange thoughts passing through the minds of the great mass of people who were down to see the Ald. W. .J. Fair re marked : "In a civilized country like this isn't it awful to think of this train load of men going away for the purpose of shooting down oth ers."" Another man said "And may they all come back." Some were thinking of when the ocean trip would be started and how many would come back Then at soldiers wives wives and boys go way. five minutes past eight a prolonged . shriek "of the locomotive whistle warned the people that the final farewell must be said. There was a series of handshakes with "Well, good luck, old man," kisses and cry- ing spells, and then the train pulled out amid a mighty cheer from the crowd. The band then started with patriotic music When the train re crossing it was learned that a carriage had upset on a ear making it necessary to move all the guns on that car. The train waited there until half past nine Wtlock, "but the boys were nearly all asleep in their berths by this time A very few people were there as it was not gen- trally known the train waited that long at the round house When a Whig reporter passed along the train while it lay at the round- house in one car of thirteen men who were awake nine of them were read- ing the Dritish Whig. The Whig and all of the wish the officers and men of C.H.A. Godspeed. At Lake Ontario Park. There was a good attendance © at Lake Ontdrio Park last evening. The pro e was appreciated. Dainty Trixy Taylor, the typical soubreite, who was handsomely gowned, sang "Daddy's Come Hothe" (a kid song). and "Ziz For You, Zat For You and Ziz For My Papa" (a French song) and fonélnded with her acrobatic dan. cing, which 'was loudly applauded. Mall and Hassen sang sweetly several pretty songs, "This Is Life," "The Glow Worm," "The Croonev Melody' and "If That's Your Idea of a Won- erful Time Take Me Home." The pic- tures were excellent, especially "A Romance of the Forest Reserve,' "Cutev's Vacation," and "Martha's Rebellion."

Gospel Worker Pleased to Greet Ad- jutant Gunn. Gloucester, Mass, Times, Aug. 11 An unlooked for surprise awaited Rey. Edward R. Hermiston's visit to this city, Sunday. Rev. Mr. Hermis- ton who now belongs in Los Angeles, California, occupied the pulpit of the First Baptist church, at the morning service and in the evening spoke at the Chapel street Baptist church. He is superintendent of the Chapel. Car Emanuel, doing Baptist christian work on the Pacific coast and spoke interestingly to both congregations regarding this work, His visit here re-united two warm friends after a separation of nearly a quarter of & century. s Rev. Mr. Hermiston's-- friend is none other than the genial Charles A. Guno, adjutant in charge of the Salvation Army Corps here. Adju- dant Gunn and Rev. Mr. Hermiston had not met for twenty-two years, At that time they were young men, working side by side in a broom fac- tory in their native town of King- ston, Canada. The reunion was 2 pleasant one on both sides and many happy incidents of boyhood days were recalled. He was entertained by Adjutant and Mrs. Gunn during his stay iv Gloucester. He is in the east on a two months trip and returned tc Bostdn today where he is to speak before a gathering of ministers. i.¢ expects to visit his old home in Kin gston before returning to Los Ange les. For the past eleven years Rev. Mr Hermiston has been engaged in the Chapel Car work and in that time has worked-in eight states in the west and on the Pacific coast. The { Chapel Car "Emanuel" is seventy feet long and ten feet wide and con tains living apartments with folding beds, table; bath tub and kitchen which is three by three feet. It con tains a range, refrigerator and ching | closet. The car also has a church bel { that can he heard a mile and seaf | 125 people. A Boston lady presentec the chapel car with a handsome ham mered 'brass lectern and a $300 Es organ was presented by the Este) Organ Co., while there is also phonograph, a personal gift of Tho mas A. Edison During that time, there 20,000 people profess conversion and 300 Sunday schools and 20¢ churches have been organized. The chapel car largely works for rail road men and in lumber camps. Rev Mr Hermiston is an-_ interesting speaker and pathetic stories of con versions were related by him in hi: talks to Gloucester audiences. ley have beer THE MYSTERIOUS AIRSHIP Appeared Over "Kingston Many People Saw It.
