The new steamer has 650 rooms, 26 parlors with bath, 130 state- rooms with toilets. These accom- modations require a great many ac- cessory rooms not only for the use of passengers, but also for housing and maintaining the crew of over 300 officers and men. Greater Detroit is a veritable floating hotel, a distinctive Ameri- can type, and embodies the accum- ulation of years of experience by Frank E. Kirby, master shipbuild- er, who has designed and supervis- ed the construction of 150 steamers afloat on the inland waters of the United States and Canada. Greater Detroit, and her sister ship, Greater Buffalo, now nearing completion, cost $3,500,000 each to build, and will be operated on the Detroit and Buffalo division of the Detroit & Cleveland Navigation company.

BRITISH HOSPITALITY Kingston's = Crown Attorney Saw Frontenac Feldspar and . Davis' Tannery Exhibits. T. J. Rigney, K.C., came home on Sunday voicing the highest praise for British hospitality. Mr. Rigney was a member of the party of Cana- dian lawyers who went overseas in July to be joint hosts with the bar of England, Scotland and Ireland in entertaining 2,500 lawyers of the United States. It was a great conception, that of inviting the American bar to the SALE _ Everything Reduced. Grand Opportunity To Save Money.

The Cana- dian party, numbering over 300, was representative of Canada from coast to coast and included six high court judges from Ontario alone. Many of the visitors were accompanied by their wives and families, making a very happy gathering on board the Mount Royal. The Kingston crown attorney could not speak too highly of the re- ception accorded the Canadians and Americans wherever they went in England, Scotland and Ireland, and in France too, for many of them visited Paris. "It would take me six months to fhifill all the invitations I received," he sald. There were din- ners and receptions by the King and Queen at Buckingham Palace, by the Duke of Devonshire, Lord Haldane, Lord Birkenhead, Viscount Cave, the University of London, etc, Special arrangements were made for them to visit the historic spots. Every golf club was at their disposal. Mr. Cole- man, secretary of the Canadian Bar Association, who had charge of these arrangements, deserves much credit for his excellent preparations. Next they were the guests of the Scottish Bar Association at Edin- burgh where they enjoyed the hos- pitality which has become proverbial. Mr. Rigney spent several days thete and then went on to Belfast and down through the Emerald Isle to Dublin, where another series of re- ceptions and dinners awaited the visitors. The Horse Show, making Dublin the gayest of any time in the twelve months, was then open. Mr. Rigney had the honor of meeting Mr. Healey, and at a house party, John McCormack, the famous Irish singer. Then some of the party went to Paris where they were received with inconceivable magnificence at Ver- iiailie Palace, Premier Herriot lead- 8: On every side the effect of the visit ®%s to open the eyes of Americans and Canadians to the eordiality of their hosts.

Canada will have to do more pro- paganda work in Great Britain if she is to attract immigration. Australia and the othér Pacific colonies are making strong bids for it. Old London is changing. The American idea of centralization in large departmental stores is having its effect, though skyscrapers are against the law.
