Toronto, how- ever, completely lost sight of the difficulty last night under the inspira- tion of spontancous enthusiasm for Joe Wright, Jr. winner of the Dia- mond Sculls, and for the members of the world championship girls' Olym- ic team. Crowds which numbered undreds of thousands lined the streets, thronged Sunpyside and ac- corded the returning athlete a wel- eome which was fitting tribute to their honors brought from abroad. It was an occasion of intense civie pride, displayed with a spohtaniety which has few puilids in civic an- nals. a its deta hee occas sion detain, fore did Toronto welcome oles hes a Diamond Sculls winner, some 24 years ago.

There, Aldermen Summer- ville, Luxton and Allen rded the private car which the CN.R. had Blaced at the disposal of the athletes. thered on the station platform was an interested crowd of east end resi- ts, some with their cameras, eager to glimpse the athletes Who had so recently become world celebrities. Esthusioem Runs High The final arrival of the party at the Union Station was some time af- pr Bn seven o'clock. Mayor McBride, members of the City Council and representatives of athletic associa- tions and public bodies, were gather- ed on thé platform. Outside on the street there was an expectant crowd d citizens, The moment that the 'right party and the girls' team ap- ¢ | peared, the Jolie pipe band struck up "See Conquering Hero Comes."

Myrtle Cook, the fourth member of the relay team, gracefully expres- sed her acknowledgments for her at all times to a less musical, but more of pre tion in a vein similar to her Ci 1, automobile sirens and various noise- makers, busily plied by the crowds who lined the route. Up Bay street, along Queen street, down Cowan avenue and along to Sunnyside was the route of the pro- cession. There was ome continuous demonstration along the whole route. At the Patterson candy factory an especial triumph was accorded to Miss Fanny Rosenfeld, who is em- ployed there. The staff had decora- ted the building with green and white bunting, and waved streamers and shouted greetings from every win- dow. At Cowan avenue there was another interlude, when the crew of the fire station drove their truck to the intersection of Queen street and blew their sirens and sounded their gongs while the party passed. Escorted to Platform Arrived at Sunnyside, the seene was one of mass enthusiasm. It was with difficulty that the police could keep the roadway cleared for the pasty. When they finally did arrive efore the platform from which the presentations were to be med , cheers | ¢ and greetings from thousands of roats climaxed the welcome, which had been so notable en route. Young Joe Wright and Miss Ethel Catherwood were escorted to the platform by Mayor McBride and greeted there by Premier Ferguson and Hon. W. H. Price, K.C, There was a brief interlude while Wright and the entire Olympic party faced the battery of camera men which had congregated, after which Mayor Mec- Bride took charge of the proceed- ings. Mayor Capitulates It was some minutes hefore the Mayor could reduce the program to formality. It was evident from the enthusiastic temper of the crowd that their interest lay not in the formal- ities of the pending presentations, but in fhe personalities of the ath- letes themselves. »The various ladies' athletic organi- zations were massed near the plat- form, as also were the rowing clubs. From both these bodies greetings the platform to the members of their organizations who had won such dis- tinctions. Jack Guest was apparently sharing Joe Wright's honors and there was an insistent demand for him to be given a front seat, When he smilingly moved forward at the public request he was given a fine ovation, Proceedings were just be- ginning to settle down again when the girls' team unloesed a new flood of enthusiasm by rendering the Can- ada Olympic yell. Attention gradually returned to Mayor McBride's elorts at chair- manship, and His Worship carried out the presentation to Young Joe Wright. He recalled that it succeed- ed and climaxed the rowing honors which had already come to the city through the feats of Lou Scholes, Ned Hanlan, Joe Wright, Sr, and Bob Dibble, "The citizens of your native city," His Worship said, "are unanimous that your great win should be recog- nized in more than mere words of congratulation and praise. Therefore, on their behalf I take great plea- sure in presenting you with this cah- inet of sterling silver and mahogany table, hoping that as you go through life you may always look upon this presentation as one made by your fellow-citizens as a mark of highest appreciation and esteem." » Young Joe replied with modest brevity, He was very, very proud, he said, to have brought any honor to Toronto, for he came back from his travels abroad persuaded that To- ronto was not only the Queen City, but the Queen City of sport, Congratulated by Premier Premier Ferguson was thereupon given an opportunity of extending the congratulations of the Province. He expressed his pleasure at having witnessed the Henley race personally, and went on to declare that the re- putation for good sportsmanship which Canada had gained abroad during the present year could not help redounding to the advantage of the Dominion, There was no other place in the world in which true sportsmanship was so much the mea- sure of a man as in the Old Country, he averred, adding that the Canadian athletes had made a splendid im- pression in this regard wherever they had appeared. tea services amd trays to the mem- bers o he girls' relay team follow- ed. hen Miss Rosenfeld was call- ed hu receive hers, there was an in- sistent call for a speech. She pro- tested that it was not fair to make a person hoarse with greeting so many friends and then demand a speech. She expressed, briefly, how- ever, the pleasure which all the girls had derived from achieving something for Canada. Before Miss Rosenfeld took her scat she secured from Mayor Mc- Bride a decision which she had fail- ed to wrest from the Olympic judges. The Mayor referred to her as having come second in the 200 metre race, "No, first," a voice corrected. No, second, the Mayor returned again, This time, however, voices through- out the crowd took up the cry. "No, first," they called.

Joe Wright, Jr., then had his sec- ond turn, a long with Jack Guest and Ray Smiley, e boxer, all of whom m point winners at the Olym- hd ' bes this account young Joe and Guest received gold watches and Ray Smiley a handsome mahogany cloek. The honoring of Guest struck a responsive note in the crowd. When he came forward for his presenta- tion he was cheered to the echo, and greeted with calls for a speech which refused to be denied. Guest responded with only a few Yards, He expressed his apprecia- of the honor accorded him, and So ared that if he went to Henley again next year, as he hoped to do, he would again do his very best to win. There remained only the losers to be honored for having given a dis- tinguished best. Jean Thompson, who was prevented by a mishap from performing at the top of her form in the 800-metre race, but, nevertheless broke a previous world's record to come fourth, received a gold wrist watch, Dorothy Prior, the breast swimmer, who was the youngest member of the team, was similarly honored. With due recognition having been paid to the athletes, attention was turned to two of the officials who had been such important factors in the girls' success. Miss Marie Par- kes, their chaperone, and Miss Alex- andrine Gibb, their managers, both received tea services and tra The presentations * conclu the Sunnyside | rogram, except for ome impr ¢ item. From the oa of throats three cheers whose volume beggared desgription were raised for the athlstes whose feats had been so outstal Leaves One of the amusing features of the day to which allusion was made was that Joe Wright, after having one to Henley and captured the jamond Sculls, arrived in Toronto without them. In the excitement of his departure from Montreal, he left them locked in the hotel safe. They were brought up from Montreal by a later train. When Mayor McBride referred to the incident, he also referred e the cause which had been jokin a signed for it, namely Joe ris p the interest in Jean Thompson girls' Olympic party. "Joe assures me, however," the Mayor added, "that there is nothing in 4 the story which is being cireu- ted. The story was that the announece- ment of the engagement of the pair was pending.
