For days of delightful anticipation of the joys of "The 24th" the air Was prevaded with the smell of gun- powder from the fire crackers sur- reptitiously set off by the boys of the family whose patience was not equal to the strain of waiting until the morning of the great day, which when at length it arrived, was ush- ered in by a royal salute of twenty- one guns made by a reckless expen- diture of fire crackers. Flags were hung out by the more enthusiastic before the break of day so that all honor should be dome to her for whom we prayed Sunday by Sunday 8s "'Our Sovereign Lady, Queen Vices toria." Country and city alike ob- served the day with whole hearted loyalty. From the surrounding farms and villages families packed into demo- erates drawn by horses (often a bit wedry with the spring seeding) came to Kingston to see the sights and join the towns people at Barriefield common where a sham fight and military review was held. Picnics, the first of the season, were planned weeks ahead and if capricious May wis in a favorable mood, merry par- ties found thelr way by row boats, vans to Kingston and or the lake shore to wander through the woods gathering trillinms, blue phlox, vio- lets and the red columbine clinging to the ledges. The white bil- Oke cherry shook their showy blossoms then as now and fili- ed the air with their fragrance.

Although the great Queen's grandson sits on the empire's throne today, the day kept in her honor during her long reign by a loyal, loving people will have its place forever in the hearts of those who will never cease to as- soclate the 24th of May with the birthday of "Victoria the Good." -------------- Wade-Bishop.
