WITH KINDNESS MINGLED WITH ALL CLASSES PAMPHLET ISSUED FOR IN-: MORI INTIMATELY THAN EVER BEFORE.Toront>.Ont, August 99=It is a sign of the tunes as well as un indication of the democratie spirit of Edward, Prinve of Wales, that British royaity lax mingled with the peuple dé all classes, as never beinre so intimately us did the heir to the I'hrone today, the last day of his present visit to the City of Toronto.That this was a fact is the testimony vi the British cotrespondents here with the Prince.They declare that tile reception given him today at the grounds o: the Canadian National Exhibition, and in the twenty four wile triumphal drive through the streets of Toronto, was unparalleled among the demonstrations of welcome and loyalty to an heig to the throne lideed, the very greatness of the demonstration compelled considerable curtailment in the Prince's pro: gramme.After the scenes in and about the Canadian National Exhibition this afternoon where more than one hundred thousand persona, according to conservative estimates, assembled in the grand stand and aeghboring enclosres to see and; wear the Prince, it was decided to xancel the engagament of His Royal Highness to be present the pyro- techuic display tonight.The Prince would lave preferred to carry out the programme arganged, but was dissuaded by his advisers, who feared that a repetition tonight of the actuslly uncontrollable demonstea- tion of loyalty and loving esteem, which was given this afternoon, might briny about a catastrophe among the people.Again tonight there was another turteilment vf programme, resultant from the Prince's delight in mixing with the peuple.Over a route of 26 miles the \u2018Prince aad party had driven and at times the -rowd was so dense on the toute that the police had nearly tu ride down the crowds to get the Prince's ar through.Throughout the entire route, he never missed acknowledging the cheers, either with a wave of Lis hand or a touch at his kat.At times the crowds almost dragged him out of his car.Tired almost to exhaustion was the Prince.\u2018There were two more miles of the projected route to go, but the authorities spirited h'm home by a cross street, feaning the effect of further «train on his future activities.The P:imes iad a quiet morning.with a \u2018itt'e golf followed by the ac- ecptance Of the deyree of a Barrister st Osgoode Hall, and luncheon with rio.Within one-half hoyr later he was! transported into a pandemonium which, according to those accompanying him, was the biggest triumph to date.of his young life.The programme said he was to review the Great War Veterans, \"who were gathered twenty or thirty thousand strong before the Grand Stand.What he actualiy did was charger, and seek to make his way through the thousands of veterans who closed about him.Eseort of Royal Canadian Dragoons and platoons of mounted police were of no avail.He finally reached a platform where he vas lifted off the horse, and pulled up to his feet, away, from the crowd which was wel on the way to good naturedly mobbing him in Vheir enthusiesm and joy of greeting.o After many efforts the noise tens of thousands of cheering voices FOR THE

BY CRIMINAL.Montreal, Que., Aug.27 \u2014 Preventing what the police believe to be an attempt to rob or set fire to Notre Dame Church, Place d'Armes Square, tonight, Michel Giroux.45 years of age, of 439 Plessis street, suffered a | fractured skull and fourteen cuts about the head.He now lies in the | Notre Dme Hospital where his condition is reported as serious.The assailant after beating Giroux almost to uhconsciousness, made his escape in the opinion of the police, through a window on the Seminary side of the Church and through the : garden to Notre Dame street oppu site Place d'Armes Square.It was shortly after 9 o'clock that the assault took place and Giroux, despite his condition, with his head bandaged until only the tip of his chin wes visible and weak from loss of blood, managed to tell his story to the doctors of the hospital and the detectives who interviewed him, about an hour after the affair had occurred.\u201cl was making my round at nine o'clock.\u201d said Giroux.\u201clI make a round every hour and on my eight o'clock round there was certainly no one in the church which is locked up at 7 o'clock.Just as I came around the front of the church by the Notre Dame street entrance and turned into the aisle on the St.Sulpice side of the church, some one, a man, came behind me and struck me a blow on the back of the head with a stick.[ turned and saw the man.He was sbout my size and I immediately struck at him with my fists, I had my lantern and my clock and was somewhat hampered.Before I could get rid of these the man had struck me several times on the bead with his stick.Finally I managed to grasp him by the throat and tried to choke him into submission.Ne was stronger than me and he threw me into one of the pews on the right hand side of the aisle.Then he picked up my dock and hit me on the head with it, I felt myself becoming weaker and weaker and for a moment I let go of my hold on him.He turned and ran down the jisle towards the

auspices of the Hotei Commodore, of New York was full of interest for those who are awaiting the result on both sides of the international boundary.At its close the issue was as much.a matter for speculation as ever, but some of the inciderus which it brought forth were exciting.It was unfortunate that one of them should bear the aspect of tragedy.Lieut.H.T.Slater.whose Jeparture from Buffalo for Toronto was reported at 12:47 P.M.hss not been heard from at a late hour tonight and fear is entertained that he is the victime of an accident.In view of the fact that a land crash would almost certainly bave been reported, the conclusion drawn by officials at the Toronto terminal is that he hus \u201callen into Lake Ontario and probably drowned.Early in the afternoon anxiety «s to his fate began to manifest itself and at two o'clock Captain S.H.McCrudden, one of the Ericson pilots set out in search of him, and after hours of flight over the waters of Lake Ovtario.however, failed to reveal any sign of the missing plane, and the efforts of lifeboats sent out from the life-saving stations proved similarly fruitless.One of the most extraordinary features of the day reached the ears of Toronto officials on the arrival here at 9:37 A.M.of Lientenant-Colone] G.C.Barker, V.C., who was reported on Tuesday as having frozen his disabled arm during his flight to New York.It developed this morning that while thus handicapped.Colonel Bar- | ker discovered that the air pump of the Fokker which he waa flying had ceased to function.This occurred after his departure from Syracuse for New York and for the remainder of the tip to New Yok and back to Toronto, Colonel Barker was forced .» maintain pressure in his gasoline tank with 2 hand pump.All of the competitors were highly pleased over the race as they landed at Leaside today.and their satisfaction was shared by officials here.Mr.Roy S.Hubbell, Executive Manager of the Hote!
