THOUSANDS BRAVED THE GOLD TO SEE THE Corps Turned out in War 1 Showing, Crowd Were About the March. Sketch of Capt Eaton and a Talk With When the gun -1 carriages rolled through the city yesterday with Battery on them, all as the? will- be when' they take their In the fighting line, the enthusiasm was unbounded. Cheer after cheer tore the', air. The thermometer was away down playing tag with the five degree below zero but that didn't matter. Thousands lined all tho streets through which; the troops passed, and from the moment the battery appeared in sight till the Inst gun passed the people let Tommy Atkins know that in war time anyway he Is appreciated! The day had the festive air of a public holiday.

The school children had been let out, stores were decorated with flags and bunting, women put on their smartest Jackets and hats. It was after halt-pastt wo when the troops lined up in the Aberdeen pavilion at tho Exhibition grounds. The whole force did not turn out as sentries: pickets and other men had 10 remain," at the barracks. But on 3 hundred and twenty-five men, with their officers, six guns and six ammunition waggons made a very creditable showing. I The Troops and Officers.

Major Hurdman was In command, and under him was Capt. D. I. V. Eaton.

With the right, centre and left sections, rode Lieuts. MaCrae Von Tuyl and 'Morrison. The Start. As the start was made from the Exhibition, grounds, a crowd of several hundred who had gone out to see the departure Joined in "Soldiers of the Queen" and "Rule Britannia." It was one of these pleasing, but unexpected outcroppings of loyalty, and the men in the ranks looked as if they wanted to Join In, too. The crowd expected the troops about an hour before tbey came, and many were tired waiting.

The big crowd witnessed the parade from the top of Metcalfe street, where a magnificent view could be obtained of the command as they rode up the long paved street. The Route of the Ride. Tha route of the procession was as follows. The men left the Elgin street sate of the "Exhibition grounds and came into McLeod street, where they turned up to Metcalfe. From Metcalfe they went down Wellington, thence to Lvon and then by oueen, Met calfe, MoLeod and Elgin streets to the quarters.

As the battery passed different points individual members wertr as recognized singled out for applause. Of the officers Major Hurdman was undoubtedly tha best known to Ottawa people, and received many hearty cheers. Capt. Eaton and Lieut. Morrison also came In for a large share of the popular applauses Lieut.

McOraa has an "excellent apse a ranee on horseback, and although imbnavn to the DubMc was at times heartily cheered." Lieut. Von Tuyl. who, by the way, looks more like Rud-yard KlpHngihan the poet's twin brother, also was the subject of kindly remarks. Several of the ladles their handkerchiefs at him. and as the lieutenant Is a modest yet appreciative man he probably enjoyed It, "Even as you or It Was Very CoU.

The whole parade did Tiot occupy more than an hour. The cold was very much felt, and although the men sat straight and did not put their hands to their ears, they undoubtedly suffered. A Grand Gallop. The battarv was seen at -its finest on Queen street. There the street Is wide and splendidly pavea.

11 gave horses a chance. Dawn about Kent street the horses broke into a loas swinging gallop that became faster ana faster till the whole battery was roiling along at a great speed. It looked grand. The men and horses entered into the spirit of the thing. All the route of the procession the the men were preceded by a Dug.er.

who carried his instrument with him and sounded out the orders. The people who witnessed the parade In many carried and waved small flags and patriotic emblems. The ladies were to the fore In this. A Courteous Act. The; members of Battery have been invited to use the Capital rooms as much as they care to while they are in the city, and quite a number are availing themselves of the privileges.

Tho Capitals very thoughtfully make no charge for billiards, pool and bowling to members of the contingent, and the courtesy Is greatly appreciated. THE HEAD NURSE. Sketch of Miss Hurcomb, Who is Going With the Secclhd Contingent. The head nurse for the second Canadian contingent. Miss Deborah Hurcomb, -is the daughter of a British officer, and therefore comes naturally by her military Instincts.

She was born in Montreal, but her parents returned to England when she was a few weeks old, and she was educated there.

Miss Hurcomb said that it was love of nursing as much as' patriotism which had induced her to offer her services to the government.

She is particularly Interested in surgical cases, and has had so much experience with them in Montreal, where accidents on the wharves and railroads are very common, that she is not afraid of anything she may be likely to see in South Africa. She has "also had some tastes of hardship, notably on one occasion when she served in a typhoid epidemic at Venosta, In the Miss Richardson, another member of the nursing corps. Is at the Gllmour.

Landry Whistle Considerable evidence was given last night at the inquest into the death of Vietor Landry, of Clarence who died from the effect of ing struck by a train at the Canauian Pactlio Railway crossing on the Montreal road, Wednesday.

A number of the witnesses testified that the train had given no warning of its approach by either bell or whistle when coming up to the crossing. This was probably the most Important part of the evidence The inquest will be. resumed again tonight. Petrouille Dallalre, of the Montreal road, one of the witnesses of the accident, said that while Landry was driving along he (Landry) was looking In an opposite direction from whloh the train was coming. The train was coming In backwards.

There was no one on the hind car of the train giving signals, and there was no one on the ground giving signals. Witness did not hear the train whistle or ring no bell. The train was going as fast as a street car. When Landry turned his face to look' at the car, the car was upon him. The cars did not stop after the accident.

The train does not usually come in backwards. Eva Bordeleau, of 295 St. Andrew also saw the accident, and corroborated the evidence of the previous witness. She said that when standing in the road a person could not see far down the track on account of a pile of wood and some ties' being In the way. The end part of Landry's sleigh was struck and the shock threw him ofT.

Harry Hellard. of First avenue; Janeville, did not see the accident, but had heard the train whistle at the Cyrvllle crossing, a distance of 500 yards from where Landry was killed. This was about five minutes before the accident. Afterwards he (Hellard) did not hear the train. Engineer's Evidence.

Mr. D. Cody, engineer on the train, which struck Landry, stated that at the Cyrville crossing he had -whistled twice and once on approaching the Montreal road crossing. He heard the bell ring when he was coming near the crossing, although he did not see the fireman ring the bell. Mr.

Cody stated he saw no one In the sleigh coming along the road and considered the horte had probably ran away when the whistle was blown. After the sleigh had been struck by the train, the engineer-did not back up, as he did not think the accident had been serious. STILL EXTENDING.

Vica Presidency of the Canadian In- atituta at Stake There has recently been some talk among members of the Canadian Institute as to who is vice-president of the organization, and a meeting was held last night ar which the matter was thoroughly discussed. When the election of officers took place some time ago Mr. J. G.

Barrette was made vice-president. 'A short while afterwards, it appears, Mr. Barrette said several members of the institute that he would resign in favor of Mr. N. M.

Mathe, and instead of the vice-presidency take the directorship of the literary courses. Mr. Mathe was accordingly believe to be vice-president. The Institute decided to preyent on New Tear's day an address to Arrh-Jishop Duhamel. natron of the organi sation.

Mr. S. Lellevr-, president of me institute, was unable to be here for the and it Is understood he delegated Mr. Barrette to represent him. Mr.

Barrette in signing the address appended the words vice-president to bis name. Mr. Mathe's friends, of course, thought this rather peculiar. At the meeting last niaht It was notnt- ed out that Mr. Barette In resigning rrom the vice-presidency had not done so in a regular manner, but had given merely a verbal notice of his intention to a few members.

Consequently it was considered that when he had signed the address to the ArchbiBhop, he had not resigned from the vice-prcal-dency. Mr. Barrette said last night he was willing to let Mr. Mnthe have the position, and so the matter now stands. CHAIRMAN CHAMPAGNE THE CITY'S NEW FINANCE MINISTER.

SNOW NEEDED, before the big snow storm of last night, the lumbermen were growing very anxious. There was no snow In (he timber limits, and the fear was that if It did not come soon, enough' logs would not be' shipped down the river for the coming summer. The logs canaot be brought to the river till the sleighing Is good. If enough logs were not got down for summer. It would mean that hundreds of men would have very little employment, and the big firms would lose money.
