The Prince of Wales in Canada, 1860. The future King Edward VII on a royal vist to North America. 'The Prince reached Fredericton, New Brunswick, on the 4th August. A Fredericton despatch of that date says: " To-day is the most delightful experienced by the Prince of Wales since his arrival. The boat ran up the St. John's River, through a fertile and beautiful country. The Prince was on deck most of the time, and was loudly cheered by groups of people in boats and on projecting points, and saluted by the waving of flags, ringing of bells, firing of muskets, &c., which were answered by the steamer's whistle and band. He arrived at Fredericton at six o'clock in the evening, and was received by several volunteer military companies and a large crowd of people. The town is decorated with three handsome triumphal arches, flags, &c".'From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
