So soon as the Royal party was seated. Mr.Canton Insurance Office, Timited-$75 per Frank Archer, picturesquely drossed a Virgit, in a classical costame, read the introfaction to the first tabloan. The appropriate poem was by Mr. Savile Ciszke, and was admirably written for the purpose, for it was neither too long nor. too short, but kept to the point, and in simple language described the patriotic deads rapra-" sented in each living pietren. Mr. Archer road the lines in a clear and resonant veice, making, however, no pretenca to doclamatory effect The first picture represented Edward I. pro- sending his infant son to the Welsh at Car ñarron Castle. The King Mr. H. J. Stock) was auperbly dressed in armour, with a war cost of esshmere, having the arms of Eax- land emblazoned on the breast. He was shown as holding up the Infant Prince in a sort of kingly and paternal manner establned, whilst a lady of the Court (Miss Holingahead) taakod on with a certain expression of anxiety for the welfare of the baby. A Bishop (Me. W Simpson) in a splendid garment-a genuins English cops of the 14th century-stood to the right, whilst choir boys swang sensors and np. held wazon tapers is used in the Catholia rite of baptiam. Warriors mingled with the maids of honour of the Queen on the left of the picture. and stood out in admirable reliaf against the sombre background, reprenanting prezimably an ancient chapel of the Castle of Carcarros. This fee tablean was the joint pruduction of Mr. Waltor Wilson, Mr. Fulleylove, and Sir James Liatos. It must here be mentioned that one of the Knights Templora held an identical sword which was onca the property of that uramiable monarak, King Joan. The ploturesquely-dress- ed Chamberlain in this scene was usled by Mr. Earlo, whilst a disconsolate hard was Tân premated by Mr. Flayos. Virgil next rocited the following linea
