of the proceedings, a she viewed them, to
her brother. James. The letter la repro
duced entire, save for the omlsalon of aome
matters intended solely for family reading:
We have had now almost two weeks of
L-aa near unadulterated bliss as It Is expedi
ent for mortals to experience. Our tr'.p
coming waa most successful, with the usual
crowd of Omaha people on the Milwaukee.
Including the Pecks. Daughertles and Wal
lace Lyman. On th Grand Trunk Wallace
Lyman waa with us until Toronto. Then
In Montreal we met Joe Barker. Then we
met some Canadians we had known befoie
on th way from Montreal to Quebec so
j.you see our trip was delightful through
out.
Now, where shall I begin to- give some
little Idea of the things we have done and
,seen? The pageanta out on the Plains of
Abraham, all replete with history Itself,
were wonderfully beautiful, giving the en
tire history of Canada from the time of i.
discovery by Jacques Cr.!r to the peace
after the war when Canada was lost to
Franc forever. Thee pageants were per
fectly conducted under the direction of a
Mr. I-celle. , from Ixindon. who con
ducted the Golden Jubilee celebrations
there of the laie queen, and alo the cor-
Vmatlon ceremonies of King Edward, so il
is easy to Imagine on what a sumptuous
and elegant scale they were conducted.
Over 4.09O people in appropriate costumes
for the different periods enacted a scene
clear to Canadian hearfe and touching In
lis beauty and associations to all behold
ers. These pageant a have been going on
every afternoon for two weks. A grand
stand great propo' I'ors. capable of hold,
'ng lu.iav, accommodate the throngs. Th
stand was erecied by s conn actor, who re
ceived rtVOno and keeps the wood after
wards. If you could see how safe ami
beautifully made it Is you would not thlnU
it such a holdup aa it might appear on
first con i. lei a tlon The sea's so'd from
7"i cents to on ordinary days, but on the
days the prince reviewed the pageant they
Sold st I'"' per seat.
I did not mean to say anything now
about the prince, as I w Anted to give
everything aa conin utHeiy as I could
remember we saw It. But a are now
on th Plain wun the prince, I may as
well tell you that the enthusiasm waxed
high, his royal highness, hiinaalf, telling
a Mr. Cerneau of Quebec that there wa
a lump In his throat tiiat wouid not go
down. Really U was the moat perfect
spectacular display that I ever tare to
witness outside of heaven, and I beiiav
it must have rlva'-d even the famous
'Passion Play" Itself at Oberammeigau.
On Wednesday. July il, wa witnessed
the arrival of "Le Prime de Gall" from
the roof of Mr. Atidette's store. It waa
a sight, Indeed, with eleven warships In
the harbor, eac h firing a salute of twen-
ty-on guns, with twenty-one more from
the citadel of Quebec. As sn aa he
stepped on the King's wharf, which was
elegantly decorated for the occasion, as
if by magic all the bells and whistles
pealed over the city and the fleets and
yachla In the harbor were in full dress
with all the flags of nation known and
unknown to me. Hi royal highness ar
rived on the famous Indomitable, which Is
a sort of myMery to all th other chips
here at leaat o an officer of the'L'nlted
State ship New Hampshire was telling ua.
It - Is an enormous battleship, earning
twelve-Inch guns, and still it ntal.e twenty-five
knots an hour, while all the other
big ship carrying uch gun can never
possibly exceed eighteen knot. I have
become a little "nautical'' and am very
thankful that I know now a very few
things about ships, etc.
Prior a Good Looker.
When the prim landed he waa escorted
in parade throughout the city and seemed
veiy gracious aud at ease. He la a good
looking chap enough, and somewhat
yojrger than I had given him credit for.
We uave s-en so much of him that we do
not even try to be respeeiful The people
here, somehow or otherdo not like him as
they do his fath-r. The demonstration over
him alone was not exceedingly great, and
everyone "kn. kd" him openly rtghi and
