France, which founded Canada, Great Britain, which won it on the Plains of Abraham, and the United States of America, which tried to win it from the British and failed. Yet, to-day,' the ships of the three nations met om the scené of their former fierce comm- Lats, and, where in time past the had fired powder for the stern poses of war, to-day they used far more terrific armament for the pur poses of peaceful courtesy, while after the official céremonics were over the sailors of the various ships were fra- ternizing in the city, not only with each other, but with the land forces, in picturesque good fellowship. It was nearly one o'clock when the big United States battleship swung around the curve in the river below' the city, and long before then the: news that she was coming had spredd. through the city, so that the Dufferin Terrace, the ramparts 'and the citadel were thronged with spectators as the New Hampshire forged her way up stream.
