On the last half of her maiden round trip she will carry an excursion to Ireland, leaving New York on Jujy 7. Peter A.

In the second and third classes of accommodation there are many features to make the voyage a delight. The sec ond class here is far superior to the first class of a dozen years ago.

State rooms contain beds, running water and private baths. The public rooms and promenade decks leave noihmg to be desired. Many Improvements have been added to the third class until, with it3 numerous two and four-berth rooms, it can be reckoned as not far below the best to be found in the regular run of second class. Mr. McNally, who is a member of the York staff of the company, will act as an Information bureau on the way over and will help passengers to plan trips and also see that they get properly started on them.

It is planned to give the excursionists a great wei come when the ship reaches Queens-town and also when they arrive to go their various ways Jn Cork. Cruise to the Great North. On August 1 tht Canadian Pacific rteamshlp Montreal, of 9.S" tens, will leave Montreal on the flm organized 20-day cruise ever initiated to the Hudson Bay waters. This has been chartered by Western men of business, with a view of giving the public of the North American continent opportunity never accorded before cf peeing the hitherto unknown great Northland, teeming with undeveloped resources, and visiting historical spots on the shores of Hudson Bay. Provision is being made for 350 tourists, who will be representative of the financial, scientific, educational and social circles of the United States and Canada.

Many reservations have already been made. The Montreal, on her way to what can be rightly called the "Mediterranean of Canada" will call at the ancient city of Quebec, and from there steam down the beautiful St. Lawrence river to St. John's, New Foundland, where, for two days, the tourists will be the guests of the mayor, councillors and city St, John's. From St.

John's a call will be made at Indian Harbor on the Labrador coast. It is here where the tourists will see Dr. Grenfell's well-Jtnown Moravian mission settlement and his wonderful herd of reindeer. Steammg along the romantic coast of Labrador, the Montreal will enter the Hudson's Straits, north of Cape Chld-ley, and will call at Port Burwell, where again the Eskimo will be seen in their native haunts. Steaming due west through the straits, the polar bear on his outlook, the walrus, the seal and the whale, will all provide interesting pictures for the Montreal company.

After passing i through the straits the historical waters of the Hudson Bay will be crossed, as they hav been crossed for the last 300 years by trader, adventurer and pirate, but it is to the P. S. Montreal will fall the distinction of being the first ocean-going passenger-carrying steamer to enter the Hudson Ray waters. The first call on the Hudson Bay shores will be at Port Nelson in Manitoba, and from there the Montreal will go on to Fort Churchill, 130 miles further west. At Fort Churchill is the old.

very historical Fort Prince of Wales, which on August 9. 17S2. capitulated to the i French naval forces. This historic spot M3 now in tha careful custody and pro tection of the parks commission of the Dominion of Canada. The old cannon in the reign of George I.

still lie in the rulna of the old fort and many are "the historical inscriptions on the dilapidated walls and rocks of the old buildings. Fort Churchill harbor is a natural ICcked harbor and is sHid to be the ultimate terminal of the Hudson Bay railway and the port for Western Canada for the short route to Europe. The "Montreal" will stay at Fort Churchill two day3 giving tourlsta every opportunity to hook an Arctic salmon (which abound in shoals), trout and many other kind of fish end also make with the ptarmigan I Pittsburgh, (named after the metropolis of Western Pennsylvania) with a tablet that h.is just been completed by t'lu- Lsepiie Moretti. the famous riU-4-iiiKh sculptor. The tablet is symbolical of Pittsburgh's position in industry ami 8rt ami will be placed on a specially constructed wall on the big steamer that is in the New York-Cherbourp-Bremon service.

It is expected Hint the tablet will be formally dedicated On the steamer ut an early date, when representatives of the municipality or Pittsburgh will attend. The giant steamer Paris of the French line arrived in New Vork last Saturday morning and sailed again for Plymouth and Havre last Wednesday. The Paris made a quick trip from Havre and had on board 53 members of the French merchant marine, having completed their course of instruction aboard the schoolship Jacques Carter, to receive, aboard that largest and most modern French vessel the Paris the finishing touches of their professional training. The Jacques Carter, a twin screw steamer of tons, built in Inmkirk during the war, has modern machinery and appliances necessary for instructing and demonstrating to embryo deck and enginee.r officers in a practical and scientific way how to run a steamer, how to make repairs, in short, navigation in all its phases. It is, in fact, a floating teciinical college, with a full complement of Instructors included in its personnel, and is maintained by the French government in conjunction with the French Line and oiner rrencn maritime companies, rne duration of the course is one year, during much of which time the steamer carries cargo between, various ports of call, thus giving the student officers a wealth of practical experience to sup-ulement the theoretical work.

Admission to the course is by competitive examination, such as is required for entrance to Annapolis or West Point. The student officers were thoroughly at home aboard the Paris, Purser Henry Villar of that steamer having formerly been instructor of pursers aboard the schoolship. Mrs. Sloan in France. Mrs.

Kick 'em bronc and hook 'em cowl Bust 'em, Cowboy, show us how: Stampede stampede! Yip, yip, yow! The Prince of Wales loves a horse, but it can hardly be said in truth "that they arc inseparable companions.

However, the prince is as willing to risk his neck as any cowboy and he is very much interested in the third great Calgary stampede at Calgary, Alberta, Canada. July 9 to 14, when 2.O0O Indians, a small army of cowboys and cow girls from Canada and the western states of the United States, all the "old-timers" who are still on deck and a vast herd of bucking bronchos, wild bucking bulls, untamed steers and slippery calves will get together in a "Romping Rangeland Rumpus" for one wild week in the "City of the Foothills." You see. the Prince of Wales takes an interest in home affairs. But, pardon. Perhaps you were unaware of the fact that the prince is an Alberta rancher.

He owns and has thoroughly stocked with thoroughbred cattle, sheep and Dartmoor ponies, the P. Ranch," 70 miles from Calgary the meaning "Edward, Prince." He has ridden the range on his ranch, watched the branding of, calves and raised cattle and sheep which have won prizes in the Chicago international live stock show. And that's why he has offered a trophy for the grand championship for riders in the hroncho busting competitions at the Calgary itainpede. A prince cannot be everywhere at once, even if ho has been everywhere at one time or another it's a safe bet that if the Calgary rancher and rough rider, could get to Calgary during the stampede, a mandamus, an injunction or a royal ukase would be needed to keep him from trying to "bust a bronc." Conserving Buffaloes. Not so many years ago the buffalo, numbering millions, roamed unmolested except by wild Indians where Calgary now stands.

Today Calgary is a hustling city of 70.000 people, many of them from the States, and meat is remembered by timers" only. Canada has not conserved all her natural resources, but a dozen years aso she bouVht the Miguel Pablo herd of buffalo In Montana, numbering about 5u0. and today she has about 6.00J In her parks and big buffalo ranges, so many, in fact, that killing a few is giod business. Heads of bulls of fearsome aspeCL are worth around $1,000. buffalo robes are scarce and very expensive and buffalo steak well, you can't get It on the bill of fare except at the Calgary stampede.

In the language of the poet, I remember in the sixties, ts far as I could see. It had never lord nor ruler but the buffalo and me; i Ere the blight of man was on it. and the endless acres lay Just as God Almighty left them on the restful Seventh Day. The "blight of man" is good, but if Canada hadn't saved tbat Pablo herd from extinction, there wouldn't be buffalo steak for everybody present at the Calgary stampede, cooked over the tire July 14, surrounded by Indians, cowboys, ranchers and members of the famous scarlet-coated Royal Canadian Mounted Police who. as the Royal North-West Mounted won worldwide fame as the "Scarlet Riders of the Plains" und always "got their man" no matter If he fied to the Arctic Ocean and dove off in the direction of Pole.

Have you ever tasted buffalo meat? No. Weil, it's "on the lire," as the gentlemanly waiter remarks when you're in a hurry for your steak minute. Page Calgary! Guy Weadick, manager of the announces that thousands of dollars In cash prizes will be awarded for wild horse races, running races, Roman standing, cow horse and cow pony races, cowboy novelty change races, Indian buck, scjuaw and teepee races, bucking horse contests with saddle and bareback with surcingle, wild cow and steer riding, wild cow milking, calf roping, trick and fancy riding and roping, etc. The Indians will be in camp at t-ie Exhibition grounds, after which the braves, sriuaws and papooses will hit the trail for Banff, in the Canadian Pacific Rockies to participate in Banff's annual Indian Fow-AYow. July lt-17.

Calgary and liiiifi both have free camping grounds for automohilists, and the opening of the Banff-Windermere motor road, June SO, will give motorists a wonderful opportunity to tour through Canada's Rockies and Selkirks. A Picturesque Spot. Banff, surrounded by mile-high mountains, is one of the most picturesque spots in the Canadian Pacific Rockies. Among its numerous attractions to the visitor is the Cave and Basin, a big swimming pool erected by the, Canadian government on the shoulder of Sulphur Mountain. This mountain is ne of Nature's big kettles which, working 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, pumps up from its mysterious depths thousands of gallons of hot sulphur water an hour.

The natural cave where the water appears is reached from the Cave and Basin by a tunnel which extends several rods into the mountainside. Indian Day at Banff should be made plural because two days in July are given over to parades and the wildest of sports in which Indians and cowboys participate. Indian Day has been a regular summer feature at Banff for 33 years, and each year the entire Stoney tribe -makes a pilgrimage to the famous mountain resort, some of them riding along the Canadian Pacific track3 for many miles to be present. Last year BOO of them were unofficially reviewed by his excellency, the governor general. Baron Byng of Vimy.

The Indians appear in all their old-time glory of eagle feathers, ermine tails and beaded buckskin, and the parades through the streets of Banff are spectacles the visitor never forgets the last great west passing by in barbaric splendor. This year's parades, with about 2.000 Indians in line, should be a record-breaker for picturesqueness. Even the squaws and horses put on their war paint, and last year one squaw was so Interested in participating in the big pow-wow that she rode 125 miles to Banff with a papoose on her back. Another squaw, with a red moon, silver dollar size, painted on each ch-ek. rode her horse like a' centauress with three papooses clinging to her.

CARPENTER'S TRAVEL LETTER Continued from lrecedintj Page.) ers ho served them, and the general upkeep of this gorgeous restaurant, one sees that the scale of wages must be exceedingly low and the people equally poor. Cheap Restaurants in Berlin. Hut the Germans who are not rich eat in restaurants, too. The old conservatives who have lost their fortunes can i not dine at a score of such establish ments as I have described.

Some of them patronize the middle class wine restaurants, such as Kempinski's. where one gets a good meal with a glass of wine for about 25 cents, or they can go to the Munich beer restaurants, where they can have a glass of beer for lii cuts, or to restaurants of a still lower clans which serve a quick lunch and at from 6 to cents. The people who frequent these places start reading the bill of fare at the prices and the meal is chosen to suit the purse, not the stomach. There are also small taxi-driver haunts where a meal with a jigger of whisky is served for less than live cents. In the Charity Kitchens.

Ivi addition to the restaurants of which have writtoii, there are some which thforeipner FeMom finds without seckir.tr- These are the public kitchens and those Of the middle clasd. I'ublic kitchpns are to be found in every part of Berlin. They are supported partly by the customers who pay from I cent to one-third cent per meal, partly by the gifts of cliaritable people, and partly by the municipality. The food is pood but it consists mostly of vepe-abltrs, served "in a bowl and eaten with a spoon. Bread seldom accompanies such meals.

The middle-class kitchens are maintained in co-oeration with the Housewives' League. They serve dinners at an exceedingly low price, and so have been They are frequented by the educated middle-class and to some extent by the former nobility and rich, who ere too proud to accept charity. These restaurants are plainly furnished. They have clean wooden tables, upon which often are flowers. Thecustomers are quiet and well-behavect, and the waitresses are often reduced gentlewomen who are glad to do work of this kind for the warm meal they receive free of charge.

Only the kitchen help get a salary', and the cooks are often pupils of the cooking schools kept up by the Housewives' League. FRANK G. CARPENTER. Go with Frank G.
