GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION Spectacle Curious and Inter- esting; Worth Travel- ing to See. (Mark Twain in New York Journal.) I got to ny seat in the Strand just in time—five minutes past 10—for a glance around before the show began. ‘I'he houses opposite. as far as the eye could reach, in both directions, suggested boxes in a theatre snugly packed.. The gentleman next to me likened the groups to bed of flowers, and said he had never seen such a massed and mul- titudinous army of bright colors and fine clothes. These displays rose up and up, story by story, all balconies and win- dows being packed, and also the battle- ments stretching along the roofs. Tho sidewalks were filled with stan:ling peo- ple, but were not uncomfortably crowd- ed. They were fenced from the road- way by red-coated soldiers, a i stripe of vivid color whi throughout the six miles whi cegsion would traverse. Five minutes later the head of the column came into view, and was presently filing by, led hy Capt. Ames, the tallest man in the British army. And then the cheering Nepan. ¢ took me but a little while to deter- mine that this processi »n could not be described. There was going to be too much of it and tvo much variety in it, sol gave up the ‘lea. It was to be a spectacle for the kodak, not the pen. SPLENDOBS OF TITE PAGEANT. Presently the procession was without visible beginning or end, but stretched to the limit of aight in beth directions— hodies of soldiery in tlue, followed by a block of soldiers in buff; then a lock of red, a block of buff, a block of yel’ow, and wo on--an_ interminable drift, of swaying aud swinging splotches of strong color, sparkling and flashing with shifty light rettec! from bayonets, lanceheads, brazen helmets an nished breastplates. For varied bur: and lions and no drivers, and preceded by Lord Wolsey, came along, followed b; the Prince of Wales, and all the world rose to its feet and uncovered. The queen-empress was come. She was re- ceived with great enthusiam. It was realizable that she was the procession herself; that all the rest of it was mere embroidery ; that in her the public saw the British Empire itself. She was a symbol—allegorical of Engiand’s grand- eur and the might of the British _name. It is over now; the British Empire has marched past under review and in- spection ; the procession stood for sixty years of progress and accumulation, moral, material and political. It was made up rather of the beneficiaries of prosperities than of the creators of them. sfaras mere glory goes, the foreign trade of Great B itain has grown in a wonderful way since the Queen ascended the throne. t year it reached tho enormous figure of £620,000,000; but the capitalist, the manufacturer, the mer- chant and the workingman where not officially in be process n te get Prasad large share of the resulting glory. Great Britain has to her Foal estate an average of 165 miles of territory per day for the past sixty years, which is to say, she has added more than the bulk of an England proper each year, or an aggre gate of seventy Englands in the sixty years. THOSE WHO WERE Nor THERE. But Cecil Rhodes was not in the pro- ion; the chartered company was absent from it. Nobody was there to collect their share of the glory due for their formidable contributions to the im- perial estate. ve Dr. Jamieson was out, and yet he tried so hard to ac- cumulate territory. Eleven Colonial Preiniers were in the procession, but the dean of tl ial Pre- RAIN THE PROGRAM Outdoor Dexnonstration poned But There Was a Banquet.

When it became was out of the question it .was decided not to let the day slip by without any festivities at all and a banquet that was not down on the original program was given at the Grand Union hotel. There were over 50 present at the banquet includi: many of Rossland’s mier, Justice of En; land ; nor the speaker of the house. e bulk of the religious room, prominent Americans. E. Hewitt pre- sided. Toward the close of the feast Chair- man Hewitt started the speeches rolling strength of English Dissent was not of- ficis in the religious cere- iy hs 4/monies at the Cathedral.

Runaway Wood Car Causes a Wreck on the Columbia & Western. Three box cars smashed into shivers. waa the tale of a ranaway wood car, that got away from the’ men, Thursday on the Columbia & Western. The wood car bumped into a loaded oil car which in its turnfemashed into a grain car and then jumped the track. But for the fact that-the men unloading the grain car had gone-to lunch their would have been @ trail of blood. 3 The wood car was standing on a switch in front of the War Eagle. Some an - prises in the way of new an-! unexpected splendors it much sur; any pa- ,eant that I have ever seen. I was not dreaming of eo stunning a show. All the nations seemed to be filing by. They all seemed to be repre- sented. It was a sort of allegorical sug- gestion of the last day, and sume who live to sce that day will probably zecall this one, if they are not too much dis- tucbed in mind at the time. ‘There were five bodies of Oriental sol- diers of five different nationalities with complexions differentiated by five dis- tinct shades of yellow. There were about a dozen bodies of black eoldiers from various parts of Afriva, whose complex- ions covered as many shades ‘of black, and some of these were the very blackest yreople I have ever seen. THE HUMAN BACK ON EXINIBIZION Then there was an exhaustive exhibi- tion of the hundred separate brown races of India, the most beautiful and most eatisfying of the complexions that have n voucheafed to man, and the one which best sets off colored clothes and best harmonizes with all tints. The Chinese. the Japanese, the Coreans, the Africana. the Indians, the Pacific Ielanders—they were all there, and with them samples of all the whites that inhabit the wide reach of the Queen’s dominions. The procession was the huinan race on exhibition—a spectacle curious and in- teresting and worth traveling to see. The moet ep'endid of the ishing to unload it started to push it along. The grade is steep and the car away. ‘ith each revolution of the wheels it gained momentum and by the time it reached the switch, wi was open: it was fairly making the raile. emodke.. Faster and faster it flew, sending sparks. of fire from the rails and quicker than @ into the oil car that was standing on the main track. A loud crash followed, as the twa cats ground into one anot! splinters flew tnd there was a smell of brimstone in the air. The crippled oil car started by the shock, proceeded on down the track and struck agrain car pear le brewery. ‘The force of the colligion threw the oil car from the track, a hopeless wreck, and badly crippled the grain car. ——_ FOR SEWERAGE SOON.

The company arose and sang: “God Save the Queen” at the ciose of Mr. Hewitt’s address. Andy Anderson sang, “The Maple Leat Forever,” the bangueters joining in the chorus. Chairman Hewitt then spoke of the re- lations between Canada aud the United States and proposed the becith vi Presl- dent McKinley. Messrs. Green, Mac- Neill and Shick responded to this toast.

Old Sol refused to smile at ball game yesterday, but over 200 people were on the grounds when the game was called and considering the almost continuous shower, the-pecple were saiieficd with the sport and stayed until the windup.

Athletics, and especially boxing, has lowed with a toast to the chairman, Hewitt. ‘A match race, which includes a heavy side bet between’ the owners of Sorrel Joe and Old Dick, will take place to- morrow at 6:15, after the other horse races are over.
