YEAR 91; No. 187. LAST EDITION * THE HISTORICAL PAGEANT BIG FEATURE AT THE FAR « Anival of Count Frontenac on Macdonald Park Shore--Night Spectacle of Kingston's His- tory Given At Fair Grounds Magniticent. The sun was sinking In the west. turning the lake into a sea of gold and palest blue, when the crowds who thronged the shores on Mac- donald park on Tuesday afternoon firet caught sight of the bateaux and canoes of "Count Frontenac" and his retinue. Two hundred and fifty one years ago the first landing took place and the men who lined the shore were red, but their counter- part, if different in color, lack- ed nothing in enthusiasm. Frontenac with his staff of French officers rowed by men in the uniform of the soldiers of Louls XIV, came on in pomp, and on each side of the boats were war canoes, filled with Indian braves and small- er canoes each containing two In- dians. The imposing flotilla came ecross the harbor from the Royal Miltary College, the French sold- fers singing old Fremch airs, and the sight was most spectacular. The gorgeous uniforms made a splendid showing in the sunset glow, and the crowd on the shore realized that a ploture of the arrival of Cousit Frontenac was indeed before thelr eyes. On the shore were La Salle, Abbe DUrfe, three Indian chiefs in splen- |. did costumes and paint and feathers, Braves lined the hollow square and the procession of Frenchmen came up the bank to be greeted by them carrying the Fleur de Lis which had floated over the Governor of New France as he was towed up the _ Bt. Lawrence. The crowd unfortun- ately their fellow citi- seng from enjoying much 'of "the Jand spectacle, which had been pre- pared for them by the committee, by proving' most unruly and inconsid- erate. The commandant, officers and gentlemen cadets of the Royal Mili- tary College, who very largely en- Sineered the water scene, should re- celve congratulations and thanks of the ens for their share in this plendid representation of the land- CYR Tra nme rom began at the Fair Grounds &t 7.45 o'clock, but Jong before that hour the grand stand was filled and hundreds were forced to view the magnificent re- jntation ot the chief events in ie history of Kingston from the : The open stage, with its 5 und of greenery, made 3 i foll for the gorgeous cos* times the actors and the charm- ing' po of the dancers.

The stoical chiefe anbent at the gifts given to them and the foundation of Fort Frontenac was la!d. The lights went out on the stage, and when 'next they came on it was to show the gate of Fort Frontenac In 1758 with the Frenct flag float- ing over it. General Bradstreet and his men in the scarlet and white uniform with white wigs dnd three- cornered hats, approached the fort and from its gate came de Novan, the commandant, and his officers In splendid blue and white uniform. The Frenchman offered his sword to Bradstreet and the group of wo- men, officers and a French Jesuit priest, showed signs of grief. The Fleur de Lis was pulled down and the British flag floated where it has floated ever since. The conquer- ors marched into the fort and a cheer was heard as they occupied it. The Spirit of the Forest (Miss Margaret Morrison) floated down the stage, a veritable spirit, and was fol- lowed by the daintily frooked girls of the ballet, This was a charming dance and greatly applauded. United Empire Loyalists. The United Loyalists under Capt. Grass (W. H, Herrington) arrived and this scene was of great interest. Major Everitt was represented by a descendant of his, Dr. O. W. Daly, Mrs. BE. J. Adams, took the part of an ancestress, Mrs. Herchemer, as did Miss Polson when she represent- ed Mrs. Ebenezer Washburn, Many other U.E.L. descendants were in 'this scene," which was most attrac- tive. The arrival of mounted cou- riers bringing news of the grants of land was the cause of great re- jolcing. The sword of Capt. Grass, loaned by Mr. Robert Grass, To- ronto, was carried by Mr. Herring- ton. | The taking of the oath of office in old 8t. George's as first ileuten- ant-governor of Upper Canada by . a Cg : Major.

Har- vey) and Mollie Brant (Mrs. Am- brose Shea). Governor Simcoe was represented by Prof. J. F. McFadyen, the chief justice by Dr. P.|G. C. Campbell, and the six councillors were resplendefit in the court dress of the period. Rev. John Stuart, first rector of St. George's, was Mr. A. E. Weller. The market square with the ladies going to market and the declara- tion of the war of 1812 read by the lieutenant of Frontenac, a part ta- ken by Mr. H. H. Horsey (Ottawa), made a stirring scene and the cour- fers riding off to tell the news to the settlers a bit of action. The hero of this period, General Brock and Commander Yeo, (Major Tremaine and Capt. M. Haney, V.C., crossed the stage once. The Call of 1914. Then silence and peace for one hundred years, till the call "To Arms" rang out in 1914, and from the wings came marching the men of the P.W.0.R., most of them veterans, and the drilling so fam- iliar a sight on the streets of King- ston for four years, and the march to the front were most realistic. The Scotch pipes and the grace- ful dancing of Miss Jean Douglas were greatly appreciated.
