He was a baseball play- er, and a good one, in his early years and took many prizes in pitching ball. He was always a baseball fan and it The Royal Tour (Continued from Page 1) was the one sport m which he took great delight. While in Mesherton he was a member of the 31st Regi- ment and held the rank of Sergeant served for over twenty years and He was anchored. Accompanying the flotilla were H.M. Customs cutters Shulamite and Marvita, which also patrolled the route between R.M.S. Empress of Britain and the landing pier at Holyrood. His Excellency the Governor-Vice- Admiral Sir Humphrey T. Walwyn, K.C.S.I., C.B., U.S.O., and staf arriv- ed by motor car from St. John's and proceeded on board the Empress and welcomd Their Majesties. As Their Majesties left the Empress of Britain a royal salute was fired by the escorting ships. As the announce- ment was made, "the King is coming"' a shout rent the air from the throngs of people assembled over the large area. The Royal barge on the way to the landing pier passed through coast- ing and fishing vissels anchored in two columns. "The King has landed!"

One ex- Serviceman with whom the Queen chatted was asked as to where he was from. On being told "From Curling, on the west coast" she replied "That is a long way to come." Her Majesty is also very observant and noticed that the same man had lost one of his medals. On arrival of the Royal party at the western entrance to the War Memorial they were met by Major F. W. Marshall, M.B.E., Dominion Pres- ident of the G.W.V.A., and Capt. W. D. |E<lwards, President of the St. John's Branch of the G.W.V.A. The morning had been dull but as Their Majesties turned to walk up the monument, the sun shone forth and the ceremony continued in brilliant sunshine. The Royal party continued up the steps of the Memorial, but the King alone continued to the Plateau, where he received the Royal Salute. The band played the National Anthem, and the color was dipped. His Majesty the King then placed a wreath at the base of the Memorial. Returning down the steps Their More Money WITH A Little Effort jYOU CANNOT MAKE Ic PER LB.

The Queen looked more charming than ever, dressed in her most favorite blue. A Royal salute by the guards of honor was received by the King and the National Anthem was played by the band. Their Majesties were welcomed by His Excellency the Governor on behalf of the people of Newfoundland. Then followed some preentations. Her Majesty the Queen was pre- sented with a bouquet consisting of white and red carnations, the presen- tation being made by a little girl named Christina Barron. After inspecting the guards of honor, Their Majesties, amidst roars of cheering, entered the Royal car and the procession proceeded slowly over the highway the thirty miles to the city of St. John's. Passing through the various settlements, men, women and children lined both sides of the road, waving flags and cheering, the King and Queen acknowledging with handwaves and smiles. Arches had been erected at each settlement along the route, these being beautifully de- corated, while bunting fluttered to the breeze from every home. At the city limits of St. John's a pavillion had been erected. Here the Koyal car stopped. As Their Majes- ties alighted they were greeted by the mayor and councillors of the city. An address of welcome was presented by His Worship the Mayor of St. John's. The mayor and his wife, after being presented to Their Maj- esties, presented the councillors and their wives. Amidst thunderous cheers Their Majesties proceeded to the pavillion, and His Majesty the King broadcast a message to the people of Newfound- land and Labrador. The National Anthem by the hand, then there were further outbursts of cheering. The King and Queen again entered the Royal car and proceeded through streets lined on both sides by thou- sands of children, each holding a Union Jack and waving and cheering, the older people standing in the rear, while Scouts and C.L.B.'a assisted the police in patrol work; the Queen wav- ing her hand and smiling all the time, and the King likewise acknowledging the cheers and salutes from side to side as they proceeded on to Govern- ment House. It was a colorful sight as the Royal procession movwl through this rr.nss of humanity, all doing their utmost to extend a hearty welcome and sh.iw their love and loyalty to their King and to their Queen. As the Royal car reached Harrison Hill it was joined by an escort of niiiunted police leading the way to Government House grounds. On arrival at Government Ilouse Their Majesties were received by a Color Party bearing the color of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment and a Guard for the Color, which His Maj- esty was pleased to inspect. Major J. W. March, M.C., and Sergt. T. Rick- etts, V.C., were presented to Their Majesties. Sergt. Ricketts is New- foundland's one and only V.C. The most colorful event of the day was the ceremwny at the National War Memorial. Long before the time set for the arrival of Their Majesties at the Memorial the streets and ap- proaches were crowded; buildings had their quota of heads at each window, whils* .swarms of people also took to nearby roofs. Members of the O.W. v. A. formed double rows on Water St. The Royal car arriveJ at 12 35 p m, an'l hnlted at th^ FTst flnnk of the o^'-J'en'tcemnn. as rtid also the car bri'icrine His FSxcellencv the Governor and T.ndy W»i1w\ti.

The King handled the spade in a familiar manner, and the Queen showed that she was no novice in the art. I understood that the trees were English oaks. Leaving the War Memorial by the Western exit, they walked through the remaining ranks of the ex- Servicemen to the Royal car, still shaking hands and chatting with the men. All were anxious to welcome shaking hands with a colored ex- haking hands with a colored ex- Serviceman and then calling the King's attention to him. When Their Majesties started to leave the Memorial the surging crowds swayed through the ranks of police- men so that the ex-Servicemen had to link hands and form a chain to keep them from crowding the King ana Queen as they entered their car. At a garden party in Government House grounds an investure was held by His Majesty the King. This was an unique ceremony in that it was the first time in history the King had personally performed such a ceremony in Newfoundland; it was likewise the first time in history that the King in person had ci'eated a Knight outside of England, and it ^as the first time in 500 years such a ieremony was held in open air. Durinp the garden party there was a di-splay of daylight fireworks from the roof of the Colonial building and a band concert in Bannerman Park. Returning to Governme«t House Their Majesties stood on th« top itsp to the entrance while the ba«d played the Ode to Newfoundland. The Gov- ernor then called for thr** cheers, which was heartily respoBd«4 to, both the King and Que«n acknowledging by smiles and hand waves. It pre- sented a beautiful picture and afford- ed camera men an excellent opportun- ity. At 5.05 the King and Queen re- viewed companies of Church' Lad's Brigade, Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, and S. A. Life Guards, at Fieldian Athletic Grounds. On arrival at the grounds Their Majesties received a Royal Sal- ute. After the review the Royal pro- cession proceede<l through the lines of people flanking both sides of the road, to Portugal Cove. At Portugal Cove arches had been erected and buildings were decorated with bunting and streamers. The whole population, as also many hund- reds from other localities, lined both sides of the road, the children each holding a Union Jack. All cheered lustily as Their Majesties passed through and on to the pier, ex-Service- men were lined up. The King and Queen reviewed the veterans, shaking hands and chatting with each individual. Other presenta- tions were made, and as Their Maj- esties embarked the surrounding hills resounded to the cheers of the people. Owing to the high wind and heavy sea, arrangements had been made to convey Their Majesties to the Em- press of Britain by the steamer Man- eco of the Royal Barge. As His Majesty stepped on boad the Maneco the Royal Standard was displayed, a Royal Salute was fired by the escort- ing cruisers and the Maneco drew otT from ^e pier. Their Majesties, whe had gone to their cahin, came out upon the deck, acknowledging the cheers and handwaves. Here was th'- cameraman's superb opportunity. And as thp Maneco shaped her course for where the ship to convoy Their Maj- esties back to England lay, the Queen was seen standing in thr doorway of hor cabin waving her hand and still smiling.

Their Majesties, by lnunch from cniispr to cruiser to confer V''<nnr'? iinon fmir members of the Royal Navy, transferred nine times for thnt purpose. ^ gnlc had whinpfd up high sens, but the Kinir and Qu»en rrfus«d to altar their schedule R«d j I Flesherton Creamery & Produce Ce. I Phone 66 Chas. Goddard, Manager called for visits to the escorting war cruisers. Waves were too high for the vessels to come alongside each other, and so the transfers in each case had to be done by launch, the King holding the Queen's arm as she jumped from one boat to the other. As the lauTili I'eached the cruiser His Majesty jumped to the companion-way and helped the Queen and other members of the party on board. This wa.^ done in each case. Both the King and Queen were drenched with sea-water when they reached R.M.S. Empress of Britain. Throughout the whole pro';eediog» King George proved himself a true seaman, and Queen Elizabeth proved that she could "take it" at sea as well as on land.
