There had been some uncertainty as to the exact time of the arrival of he Royal train, but all reports agreed that they would reach Calgary; some time during the morning. Very early even in some Instances before the sua was up the people began to assemble in the vicinity of the 'station and take up positions at points of vantage and as the morn ing advanced indications of the greati crowds which gathered later wera apparent.

The first man to be called uo for his medal was Colonel Herchmer and although the spectators were too deeply interested to make any noisy demonstration, it was very evident that the gallant colonel was a favorite with the people. Next, came Major Howe and after the name of the ever popular Colonel Sanders was called. It was evident that the Duke knew something of him for he gave him a few graceful words as he handed him his medal. All the members of the C.

who were present then fyled past His Royal Highness and re ceived their medals, a member of of each In turn. Several of the re cipients got good cheers from the crowd. The following Is the list of those who received decorations: Civilians L. W. Herchmer.

The sun above now is breaking through the clouds and gladdenisg us with his presence.

tion and several riderless horses were being held close to the plat form. The bright uniforms of the A.D.C.'s and the mounted police len a picturesquo element to the scene. A noticeable feature at the station was the conventional city garb of frock coat and tile hat, which Is so seldom seen in the West, but on this ber of those on the platform. The favored few who had been admitted to the precincts of the station watched with all eyes the royal train, but for a while no one appeared at the entrance to the Royal car. Then a lady very plainly but tastefully dressed came out on the ob servation platform and stood looking around -at the station.

Not until LadyMinto came up and greeted her respectfully did the -onlookers realize that this was really the Duchess of Cornwall and; York the Princess May whose name had been on every Hp. However she looked very nice and affable and very much like any other well bred lady as the stood chatting on the steps of the Royal Highness Is very tall like so many English ladies and does not look a bit delicate. Her face caanot be called handsome but she fcaS an expression that at 1 time is 'very charming. Her hair, which is very fair, was worn low on her forehead and coiled behind. After talking to the Countess of Minto for a few minutes she 'return' ed to the car.

In a few minutes. however, she returned and signalling to Lady MInto, who had walked off a few steps, she called In a voice distinctly audible to those near; "Lady Minto, Lady Minto, His Royal Highness would be pleased if you would speak to him for a moment" As Lady Minto went up the steps to the car the. Duke himself came forward to meet her and she bent over his band those at the rear end of the car had an excellent view of him. He is very well looking, and well set up with a straight forward manly air, and his features are very like the cuts of him which appear In the illustrated periodical's. He wears a neatly cut beard, tawny in hue, without, however, the slightest suggestion of redness.

He was dressed in the uniform of a gen eral officer of the grenadier guards, bearskin and high boots complete, while his breast was bespangled with ortfers and decorations. After chatting for a few minutes with theJCountess of Minto the Duke and Duchess alighted from the train and were met by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the lieutenant governor, the mayor and the members of the reception committee. The following gentlemen were pre sented to the Duke by Lieutenant Governor Forget, in the order men- Uoned: Mayor J. S. Mackle.

Alderman T. Underwood. Alderman J. J. Younp.

He apparently appeared quite at home in the saddle and his horse appearing 'to be a little reluctant to start, he gave it a vigorous dig with the spur's, which caused it to Jump. The Duchess took a seat in a carriage which was waiting and accompanied by Lady Minto, drove oft down Centre street. As the Royal party, got In motion a great cheer went up from the assembled thousands 'which the Duke acknowledged with repeated salutes and the Duchess bowed acknowledgements.

Everywhere on the streets through which the party passed were bunting, flags and decorations. Stephen avenue in particular was simply gorgeous. The reception committee had spared neither money nor pains In making the city take on a gala appearance and there was not a business firm that had 'not decorated on its own account. Everywhere were appropriate" "mottoes of welcome and flags on, every building and from every tva'Cable window. Thousands of people lined fhe streets and the city wag slirinly packed with people who had come from every part of Alberta to do honor to the future ruler of the Empire.

Great cheers went up as the Duke passed through the streets and the crowd could tell he was coming by the acclamations which marked his progress. The Police Review After passing through the main streets the royal party proceeded to Victoria park where a large body of the mounted police were, drawn up In review order under eommand of the commissioner. A fine sight these riders Sf Ihe plain presented, every one of them of fine physique and splendid bearing and many of them but recentlv back from active ser vice in South Africa. iaere were mvu mums ya.i iu the review, the largest number of police that ever appeared, in review order. The only gathering of police whfcE liad any paralled to it wasl when Lord Stanley was In the Westl and then only 160 men mustered.

Hia Royal Highness rode around the field with his staff and inspected the police with the eye of a connosseur In military matters. After -the men had gone through a number of evolutions the march past took place, arid they walked their horses by the Duke. Then came the order 'Trot! and as if animated by a single impulse the whole line broke from the walk Into the more rapid motion, and and in coming around for a last time the horses were at the gallop. During the review the grounds were kept by the members of the city fire brigade who, during the day had acted as special police and many expressions of approval with respect to their firm, yet tactful and courteous manner of handling the crowd, wtilcb like all crowds on such occasions, were inclined to encroach upon forbidden ground, were heard. From the Hands of Royalty Immediately after the review, His Royal Highness dismounted and took up his position at the little -table upon which the medals to be presented to the veterans of the! while the carriage containing the Duchess and Lady Minto drew vp close along side.

Her Royal Highness appeared to be in the best of spirits and laughed and chatted with Lady Minto and displayed the greatest possible interest In the snap shots the Countess was tailing of the walk ride or drive, was gathering lor a glimpse of the Duke and Duchess, ancTthere were enormous crowds of visitors who hail flocked in by rail and tsam. i The station platform was kept clear for the Royal party. Only the members of the reception committee, those officially taking part in the reception, the railway employees and a few others being allowed on. Centre street was lined with an enor-ous crowd Chat reached from Stephen avenue to the C.P.R. station.

A little before 9 o'clock the train which preceded the royal train pulled in; On it. were Lady Mint Sir Wilfrid. Laurier, Lieutenf Governor Forget, an officer ot the detective service and a number the press correspondents who havfc travelled round the world with the Royal party. The premier on alight ing from his car, chatted with the lieutenant governor and some of the members of the reception committee; and "was introducted to several Cal-gariahs. He seems to have increased; In size since he was last in thp West.H His figure is more corpulent and his face has filled out to a comfortable smoothness.

He weaifs his hair very long and it hangs about his head in great bushy, iron grey eurls. A little after "9 o'clock the Countess of Minto. looking very charming in a beautiful full length mink "coat, came oa the platform. ae chatted In a very sprightly way for -a. few minutes with some of those present and then was escorted back to her car by Sir, Wilfrid.

Under the fostering care of His Majesty's Department of Indian affairs we are gradually adopting the civilized mode of living, and are acquiring cattle and other means of chaining ample subsistence and comfortable homes.
