The Grand Parada The Grand Parada is being talked of in nearly every home in Quebec, and is heard upon the streets and even in the business offices, and the question is constantly being asked \u201cWhat is the Parada ?\" To satisfy the general public, below is given a brief outline of what the \u201cParada\u201d ia.\u201cThe Grand Parada is composed of three beautiful stage pictures, representiog Fairyland, Romany Revelries, and Oriental Splendor, with magni-ficen: scenery and costumes, beautiful dances and marches, with operatic tones and tonches, also illustrated songs, enhanced by calcium and electric light effects, with a different programme ai every performance.The spectacle opens with a trip to Fairyland, with an array of wee little elves in :ostumes of bright hues and colors, executing a variety of evolutions, dances, posings and groupings, followed by the brilliant Egyptian Belles in their striking costumes of black aud gold ; as they disappear, Love\u2019s messengers trip gaily into view, who are in tarn followed by Imperial Guards in their stirring march and catchy song.This scene is followed by one representing the gentle Zephyrs of spriog.The dance of the Suow-Hakes is a true study from nature, and in spotless white, the dancers flit hither and thither about the stage, tripping as lightly as the fiakes of the air, and combined with the calcium effects it forms a song without words.The Castilians, in their old time dances, the Spanish Peasants in the graceful movements of the wsthetic Delsarte, and the side splitting Metropolitans, together with the Queen of the Sea in all their graceful loveliness, all tend to make a most delightful picture.The second and operatic gem p^rt shows the home of a band of Huogacian Gypsies, with natures as bright and free as their lives, they trip to the tinkling tambourines, and as the sunlight softens aud fade* away into twilight, their music changes and the movement increases until all is fast and wild and mad.There is no life like the Gypsies\u2019 life and no dance like theirs.In its every movement it tells of fun aud freedom and almost carries an invitation to come and join in their jollity.Part third represents the interior of a Moorish Palace, and the scene is opened by the dashing Corsicans in their bright and beanttful costumes, and their catchy songs supported by a strong chorus.The gay and jaunty Fleur-de-Lta, with their winning \u2018Tell me that you love me,\u2019 is one of the many pleasing vocal numbers.This gay.Grand Parada ia closed by the stirring march and song of the Red Hussars, with au immense chorus and finale tableau with mechanical effects.\u201d Bicyclists and Golfers.Attention !

Sergeant Bishop and Private Gibsone are two of the old High School cadets.The Battalion was ordered to parade at the Drill Hall to-morrow (Sunday), morning, at 10.15 sharp, for Divine Service at St.Andrew\u2019s Church.To Correspondents We are constantly in receipt of letters in tended for publication, written upon both sides of the paper, and no later than yesterday, two reached ns without sny names accompanying them Such cannot be printed.To \u201cChamplain Ward\u201d\u2014Your letter is too personal for fpublication.To \u201cProfessional Comity\u201d\u2014You are quite right, but no good purpos « will be served by printing your let ter.The work iu question is used in most newspaper offices as a book of reference and the same description was reprinted from it by several other papers besides the Herald and the Curonicle.Three Sheet Poster.Two Sheet Poster.One Sheet Poster.ALi ;AT.REASONABLE RATES, MAY BE PROCURED AT THE OEFICE AT SHORT NOTICE I Fine Printing of all Kind?, in Both Languages, May be Obtained.Oata'ozues.Commercial Society and General PRINTING The Salvation Army Spring Supper.The above entertainment was an unqualified success from beginning to end.The attendance was large, refreshments were of the best, and were supplied by the many friends of the Salvation Army.The vocal and instrumental music by Ensign Ross was much appreciated.Ensign Burroughs wishes to thank his many friends who so generously assisted towards the success of this spring supper.R.C.A- Band on the Terrace.By kind permission of Lt.-Col.C.E.Montizambert aud the Officers, the R;

Laurier told Mr.Lemieux that if any responsible person or Company would make a proposition to the Government to extend the Biie des Chaleurs Railway to Gaspé Basin, the Government would be dis posed to consider the project with a view to ascertaining how far it should receive ma terial assistance.Mr.Monk was informed by Controller Paterson that the Belgian Consul in Canada had made representations to the Government wuh a view to obtaining the reauction of Customs duties, now granted to British goods, upon all importations to Canada under the Aoglo-Belgian treaty of 1863.The Government had replied that the Government had decided that the new tariff proposals were outside of the treaty, and that, therefore, the concession asked could cot be granted.Replying to a question by Mr.Osier, the Premier said that in view of the many objec lions by the Colonial Office to the Cauadiau Copyright Act of 1889 going into operation, the Government had not up to the present pressed the subject on the Imperial Govern ment.Mr.Dugas asked why the sentence of imprisonment against J.Jobin, of Pont Rouge, for the infraction of inland revenue laws was carried out, when a similar sentence against George Veztna, of Quebec, was not?The Hon.Mr.Joly said that the judgment of the Courts in both cases was imprisonment, but the sentence had been carried out only in one instance.He could not give any reason for the difference, as it occurred uuder Con servative rule.Mr.Dugas also asked if Dr.Napoleon Lavoie, of LTslet, commander of the \u201cAber deeu,\u201d was ever in the employ of the Canadian Government before in any other capacity ; if he had ever been in command of tbe \u201cLady Head if so, was he dismissed after investigation aud for what reason?Hon.Mr.Davies said that in 1879 Dr.Napoleon Lavoie had been dismissed from command of the \u201cLady Head,\u201d after investi galion, for incompetency and failing to report the incompetency of his subordinates.\u2022Sir Charles Tapper, on the orders of the day, asked when the papers in connection with the extension of the* Intercolonial Rail way to Montreal would be brought down.Hon.Mr.Blair said the papers were in course of preparation and would be laid on tbe table in a few days.Mr.Davin took exception .to the title of Mr.Rudyard Kipling\u2019s recsn poem on Ca nada.Hon.Mr.Laurier though» Mr, Kipling\u2019s description was not the most apt that could have been applied, but then poets had license.Sir Charles H.Tupper called attention to the request of Cape Breton fishermen to have the season for fishing lobsters extended.The matter demanded immsdiate attention.Hon.Mr.Davies said that the Government had not yet decided to extend the lobster fishing season.There was great danger of the fisheries being destroyed by being fished out.Mr.Prior called attention to a report in the newspapers that a vessel had arrived at YY illiams Head, B.C., with small-pox on board.He wanted to know if strict orders had beeu given the health officers there to carry out the regulations irrespective of the interests of the Canadian Pacific Railway or others concerned.Hon.Mr.Fisher said there were but two caset of the disease among 963 passengers.The disease had been discovered nine days before the vessel reached Victoria.Those affected had been immediately isolated and the passengers vaccinated.The régulations would be carefully carried out.Messrs.Casey, McClancy, Macmillan, Powell and Macdonnell followed.The House adjourned at 12.30.Band of Love\u2014On Monday night, at 7 30 o\u2019clock, there will be eight three-minute addresses on the Band of Love pledge.Men were busy yesterday afternoon looking for a break iu the water pipe opposite Mr.Odell\u2019s property on St.John street.A fashionable and experienced tailor will attend to orders on the shortest notice possible at Peg Top Depot, 88 M .imtain Hill.29.The monthly niccii.g of the Committee of the Ladies\u2019 Protestant Hume will be held in the YYrOman\u2019s Christian Association room on Monday, May 3rd, at 2 30p.m.Job Cat pets.\u20142,750 yards tapestry carpet for sale at 25, 30, 35, 42, 48, 60 and 69 cents.The best values ever offered at Peg Top Depot, 88 Mountain Hill.29,1,5,8,11,14.The Quebec Field Battery have selected Sergeant Laforte, an old soldier and one of the finest non-commissioned officers, to represent them at the Diamond Jubilee.Electors of Quebec YY\u2019esb are reminded of the advertisement in another column calling a meeting for to-night at the opening of the new ^Committee room at 52 Notre-Dame street.Moving Sale.\u2014Ten per cent discount till 1st May on everything in our store, ranges stoves, tin and agate ware, steam and plum hers\u2019 supplies.\u2014Carrier, Lainé & Co., 261 St Joseph street.t- Yesterday being the anniversary of the birth of Mgr.Laval, the University, which he founded, was en com/e, in honor of the day.The Papal fl*g flew from the flag staff on the main tower of the building.The funeral of the late Jos.O'Ryan took place at Sillery yesterday morning.Deceased died at Thelford Mines, and Messrs.Alcide Noe and Leo Roy, of Thetford Mines, accom punied the remains to Quebec.^Curtains, portieres, rugs, mata, floor oil cloth, linoleums, curtains, poles, window shades and a complete assoitment of house furnishings at half the real price at Peg Top Depot, 88 Mountain Hill.29,1,5,8,11,14.¦Seven per cent per annum on real estate but 10 per cent saved ina week iubuyingat thfe cheap moving sale of ranges, kitchen utensils shelf goods, plumbers' and steam fittera\u2019 sup plies, belting, etc.\u2014Carrier, Lainé A Co.264 St.Joseph stree'.The little brick house on the property at the foot of Cote d\u2019Abrah&m, which was re cently purchased by the city fot the purpose of widening the hill where it meets at Valier street, has been demolished by the Corpora lion workmen.Mr.Marsh, boot and shoe manufacturer is adding a large wing to his factory at the junction of St.Valier and Dorchester streets, the basement of which is of stone, The first storey has now been coostructed The building is of red brick, faced in white brick.Mr.P.J.Cote, successor to Behan Bros opposite the Basilica, is showing this week new carpets, in newest designs and coloring also carpet squares, with oil cloth made ex pressly to match the square when laid (very new) ;
