At the early age of 12 his Royal father placed him on board H. M. S. " Britannia," at Partmouth, where, as a cadet, he took great pains to tit himself for a career in the Navy. In 1879 it was resolved that the Prince and his brother should take a trip round the world in H. M. S. " Bacchante," acco.npanied by their tutor, the Rev. J. \. Halton, and the two young "middies" set sail on September 19 of that year, after taking leave of their Royal parents on board the " Osborne." It served to open the eyes of both boys as to the real value and importance of the British possessions beyond the seas and, young as they were, the loyalty shown to her Majesty's throne and person in every colony and dependency they visited struck thom as being most remarkable. On the return of the " Bacchante" to ling- land Prince George continued his naval studies, being promoted to the rank of lieutenant in "1885, commander in 1H91, captain in i8m,^, and on the first day of the present century he was made rear-admiral. In 1891 he had command of the gun-boat "Thrush," and in 181(8 he hoisted his pennant on H. M. S. " Crescent," one of the Mediterran- ean first-class cruisers. It was in 1892 that Prince (ieorge was created Duke of Nork, and on May 4 of the following year his be- trothal to Princess N'ictoria May of Teck was announced, and con- sented to by the tjueen. The marriage took place in the Chapel Royal, St. James's in the presence of a brilliant company, including many English and Foreign Royalties, and the fervour of enthusiasm with whicii their Royal Highnesses were received as they drove through the Metropolis of the Empire will not readily be forgotten. .About a year later the Duchess gave birth to a son at White Lodge, Richmond, and their family now consists of three boys and a girl. Although this is not the first visit of His Royal Highness to Can- ada it will be his first trip through the great Canadian West and across the .American coiiliiieiil. He will sec for himself the extent of (his Dominion. -^-^^^^ iimMBtu. M. m. H. THI OUKI or COHMWALL 4NO VONK Biography of De Ducbcss of eomwall and Vork ^N her father's side Princess Victoria May of Teck (Duch- ess of Cornwall and Vork), is a direct descendant from King George 11., while, her mother, the late Duchess of Teck, was the daughter of Adolphus Frederick, Duke of Cambridge, the seventh son of George III. whose father was Frederick Prince of Wales, the eldest son of George II. and Caroline of Anspach. She was educated under the personal direction of the Duke and Duchess of Teck, who took her to Florence when she was between sixteen and seventeen years of age, where she gained a practical knowledge of the fine arts. About this time her parents were offered White Lodge as a residence, and it was in this most beautiful of suburban Royal dwellings that the Princess grew up to womanhood, becoming in due course her mother's dearest companion and the kindest of friends and playmates to her three brothers, one of whom, the youngest, Prince .Alexander, is a prominent member of the Duke of Cornwall and York's travelling suite. The Duchess is distinctly clever. She has had a very thorough musical education, her voice having been trained by Signor Foli. She plays the piano- forte and harp like a professor, and speaks German and French fluently. She rides and drives well, and plays an excellent game of lawn tennis. Her favourite authors are Tennyson, Carlyle, Emerson and George Eliot, and on her bookshelves, occupying prominent positions, and no doubt also on board the " Ophir " may be s«en the works of Macaulay, Lamb, Froude, Motley, John Morley, Moli«^re, Goethe, Dante and others. Princess May was confirmed by Dr. Claughton, Bishop of St. Albans, and in i886, ever memorable as the year of the Colonial and Indian Exhibition, she went to her first drawing-room, and during the season attended two state function>i. It was while on a visit to Madame de Falbe at Luton that the engage- ment between the Princess and the Duke took place, and she will have been married eight years in May next. It may be added that the Princess's wedding ring and keeper are rather exceptional, the former being made of Welsh gold, while the latter is made of Scotch gold. t, •-<>■■ -■T''^T':-^K ^"■^"'^cf^.'^' ^Jg- • M. R. H. THI D'JOHISS OP OOHMWALL AND VORK Cbe CMMren of fbe Duke and DucDess of Cornwall and Vork is not to be wondered at that the nation should evince an insatiable curiosity concerning the children of the Duke of CornwaU and Vork, one of whom is destined in all human probability to sit at some future time on the Throne of his ancestors. Everyone who is privileged with the acquaintance of these important little people is emphatic about their charm of manner and ti.eir wonderfully precocious intelligence- Endless stories are told illustrating their delightful manners — full of that great charm of old-world gallantry that is so typical of all her late Majesty's descendants. As is very commonly known, all the little members of the heir- apparent's family are filled wjth extraordinary military ardour, to which the exciting events in the Transvaal have materially added fuel. Their pet amusement is playing at soldiers, and already the eldest three show an extraordinary proficiency in drill and the simpler mili- tiry evolutions. They all have their toy guns, swords and bayonets, and spend hours at a time quite happily drilling together, little Prince Albert usually acting as corporal. It was a touching sight to see the eldest boy at his beloved grandmother's funeral formally saluting with the unconscious dignity of childhood the coffin as it passed. But the real love of the hearts of both the two elder boys is for their father's profession. They are determined to be real sailors, and, at a very early age. Prince Edward is said to have produced a handful of surreptitiously obtained salt, and insisted on putting it in his bath, , as he scorned to bathe in fresh water. Perhaps the sweetest story of all about these interesting children is that relating to their humble little tribute to the memory of their dearly-loved "Gran-gran." With infinite care to preserve that secrecy and mystery that children so love, they gathered a strange assortment of short-stemmed flowers, and then the eldest was closeted for hours inditing the inscription on a piece of paper. " From Ed- ward and Albert and Baby and Baby's Brother " it ran, and his own nime proved a terrible stumbling-block to the youthful scribe, hav- injjT to be mis-corrected three times before it merited his final satisfac- tion. Then, much blotted and disfigured, the legend was tied to the bunch, which alone of all the floral oHerings was accorded a place ot honour on the dead Queen's coffin. 2gga proceddion programme Formation in Detail of Gov. -Gen.

CANADA AMILTON, now the second city of the Province of On-^ tario, and the third in importance within the Dominion of Canada, is situated on the south of Hamilton. Hay, formerly called Burlington Bay, and lies on a level plain between its shores and the overhanging brow of the Niagara escarp- ment, popularly known as the Mountain, with Lake Ontario c i the east and Ancaster and Flamboro Heights on the west. The ity is several hundred miles south of London, Eng., and Paris, Fran and a little east of the 8oth degree of longitude and north of the 43rd parallel of latitude. Its area is about 4,000 acres. The climate is healthful, though somewhat variable in temperature, like all inland districts, the maximum in summer being about 90 degrees Fahrenheit and the minimum about zero in winter. City Qovernment. The Citv Council of Hamilton consists of a Mayor and twenty- one Aldermen, elected annually. The people are fortunate in being able to enlist the services of a representative body of professional and business men that will compare favorably with any municipal government in the Xew World. Major John S. Hendrie, Hamilton's Twentieth Century Mayor, made his first appearance as a candidate for public honors at the last municipal elections, at the earnest solicitation of his friends and the leading men of the city.

WALKER OMAIUMAN CIVIO RaOIPTION COMMITTII i Public Works. The Works department of the City Council has attracted con- siderable attention from other municipalities by the improved method of paving that has been adopted, with tar macadam, which has proved the most durable and economical material and gives the streets the most substantial and cleanly appearance that has yet been obtained. This work is all done by day labor, under the super- intendence of the city officials. The men employed by the city and on all public works let by contract are paid a regular standard of wages fixed by the Council, after consultation with the labor unions, and compares favorably with the wages paid in other places. For public and domestic purposes water is drawn from Lake Ontario at a far distant point, where contamination by sewage is im- possible. It is pumped into reservoirs, in Reservoir Park, on the side of the Mountain, about 200 feet above the level of the centre of the city. The water thus obtained is absolutely pure, of excellent quality and supplied to almost every building within the city limits. The capacity of the pumping works in 13,000,000 gallons a day. There are 99 miles of water mains in th city, 53 miles of sewers, 202 streets, with a mileage of 105. An excellent system for the disposal of sewage has been estab- lished, by which every particle of deleterious matter calculated to breed contagion is removed from the refuse waters before they are discharged into the Bay. These works cost $85,000, and have been <» CINTRAL MAHKIT. H«MILTON in Operation iibout two years, and are, we believe, the only works ot their kind in Canada. Markets. There are two markets in Hamilton. The general market is the largest and best in the Dominion. It has an area of about two acns, and is located at the rear of the City Hall. In addition to a tine buildinjj about .^(x) feet lon(.j, it has ample room for the wagons of larniers who bring in their produce from all the surround- ing country. The hay market extends from John to liughson streot ah.>ut loiyds. south of Hunter street, and affords accommodation tor a great number of wagons. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays an- ••market days" in Hamilton, and the display that is made by the larmers, fruit growe-'s and tlorists in the summer time is worthy c( a Nisii from a long distance. The abundance that the soil yieUN enables the growers to sell at remarkably low prices probably lower than .in\ where else in the Dominion and \et make considerable f"^ '" The Board of Trade.

The membership roll for the year 1900 con- tains the names of 164 merchants, manufacturers and men of affairs, who make the prosperity of the city— because it is their own their ihief concern. Education and Society. There are .'i common schools in the city, jjivinff employment to 170 teachers. The attendance averages about i),cxx). Some of the School buildings are models of comfort and convenience. The Boari! ot Kducation is elected by the people and the system of instruction i«. perfect. I'upils can pass to the Collegiate Institute and take the first vear of the university course. There is also a Normal School, School of "edagogy and five Roman I atholic separate schools, at- tended by a, pupils. An excellent public library containing upwards of jim 1 n voi- \i 1 i umes, has been provided for the free use of the public and is housed in an elegant building on Main street. There are two pablic hospitals in Hamilton, the General Hos- pital, which is m lintiiined by the City, and the St. Joseph's Hospital, which is under the direction of the Sisters of St. Joseph. Both re- ceive aid from the Ontario Government. The city also maintains a Hjuse of Refuge, where the old and infirm are provided for. Diversity of Industries. For some years Hamilton had the only smelting works in On- tario. The iron-working industries — smelter, rolling mills, >.tove and other foundries and machine shops— are first in importance in size and value in Hamilton and justify the city being called the Birmingham of Canada. The industries of Hamilton are widely diversified. Metal, wood, leather, textile fabrics, glassware, pottery " d cloth- ing are manufactured in large quantities and there are numerous factories devoted to curing and packing meats and the canning of fruits and vegetables jiCcording to the most approved methoJ^^ of the Western World. There are j 82 manufacturing establishments in the city and her factories are equipped with the latest improvements of labor-saving machinery, which minimize the cost of production, and at the same time give employment to a vast number of work-people that is con- stantly increasing in number. • The following table gives an approximate idea of the working capital used in the mills and factories in the city, the number ot p>.-ople employed, the wages they receive annually, the value of raw material consuined and the finished products : Working capital.

It is an ideal place to idle away a dim- mer day and within less than an hour's ride from the city to its utmost limit. The waters of the Lake and Bay and the shclvinjj shore of sand afford ample opportunities for bathing, boating ami fishing, which are eagerly taken advantage of. The houses of the Royal Hamilton Yacht Club and the \ictoria Yacht Club are scenes of constant gaiety and a most picturesque panorama is presentid by the many different kinds ol boats that are launched upon the waters, engaging frequently in exciting and skillfully sailed races. Scenic Surroundings. The view of the city ftom the Mountain, which is easily rcaJed bv the Hamilton it Harton and Hamilton Hast Knd Incline K.iilw.ivs, i • TON! ANCMIWAr. OUKOtrtN Ht»K at the head of James and VVentworth streets, respectively, is a sight that can not easily be surpassed for loveliness. The wide streets, straight, regular and well paved, and shadowed by rows of majestic maples, stretch out for a distance of two miles from the foot of the Mountain to the Bay the stately steeples of the churches, the tall chimneys of the factories, the blocks of business buildings, and handsome public edifices, the mansions of luxury and the houses of the artizans looking like the armies of solid chessmen on a checker- boaru from the heights above and extending nearly five miles from Beasley's Hollow in the west to tiie Delta on the east. Further to- ward the rising sun is the battlefield of Stoney Creek, from which the invading horde of American soldiers was driven by a small band of British bulldogs during the war of 1813. The blue heights ol FLmboro Head are seen on the north and the green banks of Oak- lands across the clear waters of the Bay ; further on to the east the spires of Toronto are plainly visible on bright days, '"ith the Beach and its piers intervening. On the west is Coote's Paradise, the marshy valley of Dundas, with the pretty town nestling like a bird in the forest-covered heights and the Desjardins canal flowing placidly into the Hay. The Beckett Drive, along the brow of the Mountain, is one of the beautiful spots in the Hamilton r*istrict that everyone should visit. A full week can be very pleasantly spent driving around the country, which abounds with romantic scenes, in which mountain, vale and waterlali combine with flower, tern and shady bower to charm and delight the visitor. • m 40HM «.
