IN SOUTHERN CANADA
AN AMAZING WELCOME STOPS IN SEVEN CITIES. PRESENTATION OF LOYAL ADDRESSES. LONDON (Ontario), June 7. The special correspondent of the Australian Associated Press says that a heavy guard of mounted police is stationed at the London railway yards, where tonight their Majesties are sleeping aboard the Royal train. The passage down the Niagara peninsula, the most heavily-populated section of Canada, has been almost like a Royal procession through the city. It is estimated that a million and a half people will see their Majesties during 36 hours of travelling between Toronto and the Niagara Falls, where they will arrive at 6 p.m. tomorrow. Almost unbroken ranks of cheering people lined the railway right-of-way today. In some places people were standing knee-deep in a swamp. Al one place someone shouted, “How ya, King?” The King laughingly replied, “I’m fine! How are you?” Their Majesties spent almost the entire day on the rear platform of the train, returning salutes. Tomorrow they will receive loyal addresses at seven Canadian cities, at which they are making 10-minute stops.
