DIONNE FIVE

PRESENTATION TO KING & QUEEN ELABORATE ARRANGEMENTS. NO PUBLIC APPEARANCE. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day. 1.25 p.m.) CORNWALL (Ontario). May 21. The Dionne quintuplets will wear floor-length white organdie court gowns when they are presented at Toronto tomorrow. The entire Dionne family, with Dr Dafoe, will make the 211 miles journey from Callander today, in a special train, christened “Quintland.” It is the first time the Quintuplets have been away from home and also the first time they have travelled in a train. Their luggage includes eight quarts of milk and also, to avoid the chance of digestive trouble, two gallons of the chlorinated water to which they are accustomed. Extraordinary precautions have been taken to safeguard them. Americans from across the border are expected to swell Toronto’s population to two millions tomorrow. The crowds, however, will have little chance of seeing the Quintuplets, as they will travel from the station in a closed car with drawn shades, accompanied by a police motor-cycle escort. The office of the Premier (Mr Mitchell Hepburn) in the Legislature, has been turned over to them. It contains a refrigerator and other kitchen equipment.

The King, at about noon, will be greeted by the Ontario Government in the Legislative Chamber. Their Majesties will then proceed to the Lieutenant-Governor’s suite and the Quintuplets will be brought there. Officials are keeping the interview between their Majesties and the famous five strictly private. A previous arrangement, which suggested that a broadcast'of the meeting should be permitted, has been cancelled. . ’
