 Dead Qa^adiarj-pren^ier 
 
 For this Picture the Artist was honored with Personal Sittings 
 
 from the Queen and H.B..H. Princess Beatrice 
 
 at Windsor Castle. 
 
 This picture represents the Queen in the act of 
 placing a laurel wreath upon the coffin of the late Sir 
 John S. D. Thompson, K.jVI.G., Q.C, MP., PC, etc , 
 at Windsor Castle, Dec. 13, 1894. 
 
 Immediately behind the Queen stands her youngest 
 daughter, F^rincess Beatrice, recently called to mourn 
 the death of her husband. Prince Henry of Batten- 
 berg. On the extreme left of the picture stands Sir 
 Charles Tupper, High Commissioner for Canada, and 
 at his side Mrs. Sanford, who, with her two daugh- 
 ters, represented the immediate friends of the deceased. 
 Beside Miss Sanford, and close to the pillar is Lord 
 Edward Pelham-Clinton (Master of the Royal House- 
 hold), he is the second son of the Duke of Newcastle. 
 The other side of the pillar is Lady Southampton 
 (the lady in waiting). Beyond are the two Maids of 
 Honor, the Hon Judith Harbord and the Hon. 
 Frances Drummond. On the other side of the Princess 
 is seen Miss McNeil (woman of the bed-chamber, now 
 
1*3 ;•

 Duchess of Argyle. The Hindoo with the yellow clothing 
 and white turban is one of Her Majesty'j Indian At- 
 tendants ; Her Highland Gillie, who died last year, is 
 indistinctly seen outside in the porch-way. 
 
 The Indian Official standing on the opposite side 
 of the entrance is the Munshi, Hafiz Abdul Karim, 
 C.E.I., the Queen's Indian Secretary, and said to 
 possess great influence. At his side stands Gen. Sir 
 Henry Ponsonby, P.C, G.C.B., who for many years 
 was the Queen's Private Secretary; he was 6 ft. 2 in. 
 in height. Beyond him is seen in the shadow of the 
 archway, Gen. Sir John McNeil, (Equerry) who 
 accompanied the Prince of Wales to this Country 
 in 1861. 
 
 The tall gentleman next the pillar is Lord Hawkes- 
 BURi, (Lord in Waiting) and over his shoulder the head 
 of the Librarian, Lieut. -Col. Holmes is just visible. 
 On this side of the pillar are the Doctor, Sir James 
 Keid, and Lieut. -Col. Sir Fleetwood Edwards 
 (Assistant Keeper of the Privy Purse). Father G. 
 LoNGtNoTTO, Rector of St. Edvard's is easily dis- 
 tinguished as the clean-shaven man with the strong, 
 handsome, expressive face. Beyond him the tall, fine, 
 military-looking man with white hair and moustache is 
 Lieut. -Col. Clerk, Private Secretary to H. R. H. 
 Princess Beatrice; and at his side is Lieut. -Col. the 
 Hon. Wm. Carrington (Equerry). 
 
 The German Secretary, Mr. Muther, stands just 
 behind the priest, and beyond are seen the Inspector 
 and Deputy-Inspector cf the Castle, Mr. Leonard 
 CoLLMANN and Mr. Miles. 
 
 The scene occurred on the 13th December, 1894, 
 
in the -Giand Entrance to Windsor Castle. This i« 
 one of the oldest parts of this historic structure built 
 by Edward III early in the 14th century. The view 
 presented through the entrance carries the eye across 
 the Quadrangle and through George IV's Gateway in 
 the South Wing a view of the Long Walk stretching 
 away for three miles to Snow Hill in the distance is 
 obtained. 
 
 It will be remembered that Sir John Thompson 
 had gone to Windsor on the 12th December, to be 
 sworn in as a member of Her Majesty's Most Honor- 
 able Privy Council. Atter the ceremony he, in company 
 with the Lords and Ladies of the Household, adjourned 
 to luncheon in the Octagon dining room in the Bruns- 
 wick Tower. Complaining of faintness while at the 
 table he was assisted to the State dining room almost 
 adjoining. Here he recovered himself sufficiently to 
 return to the table, at which he had only been seated 
 for a few moments, when he fell over and immediately 
 expired. On the following day the body was taken to 
 London, and it was just before the funeral cortege left 
 the Castle that the Queen performed the graceful act 
 which forms the subject of this picture.

/irriual of tl^e "Bler^ljeim" at JHalifax 
 
 Captain Poe's orders when leaving England were 
 to be in Halifax at 12 noon on the ist of January, 
 1895. This he fulfilled to the letter, dropping anchor 
 in the Harbor at 11.50 a.m. on that day. At two 
 o'clock in the afternoon the casket, covered with the 
 Canadian Ensign, and born by eight sailors was brought 
 on deck, and while all present, in defiance of the down- 
 pour of rain and sleet, bared their heads, and accom- 
 panied by the strains of ihe "Dead March in Saul" 
 by the Marine Band, and salutes fired from the 
 "Blenheim," the Citadel, and George's Island, was 
 slowly lowered into the tender "Lily" which, manned 
 by an escort of Marines, v/as lying alongside. The 
 GovEaNOR Genj ral and Lady Aberdeen, with General 
 Montgomery Moore and staff received the body on 
 shore, and are therefore not shown on the deck o the 
 "Blenheim." The representatives of the Government 
 stand together in a line on the right of the picture, and 
 are the Kon. J. J. Curran (Solicitor-General) , Hon. 
 Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper (Minister of Justice), 
 Hon. Sir Frank Smith, Hon. W. B. Ivf.s (Minister of 
 Trade and Commerce), Hon. T. M. Daly (Minister of 
 the Interior). Just behind the coffin are the two 
 sons of SiK John Thompson, and at their side the 
 
Ei 
 
 Hon. Senator San ford, who accompanied the body 
 in its passage across from England. Mr. Louis Coste, 
 who had charge of the funeral arrangements at Halifax 
 stands just behind Judge Curran on the extreme right. 
 The two men carrying the wreaths are petty officers of 
 the ship. Captain 1'oe, (fair, and nearly side view). 
 Commander Kingsmill (dark and bearded), and Com- 
 mander Robinson (shorter and fair) stand together in 
 the background, and the other officers behind them. 
 The sole Press Representative was Mr. Chambers 
 (Montreal Star), who is seen taking notes. The line 
 of sailors on the left are told off to lower the coffin, 
 which was done by ropes from the davits, into the 
 tender which is just seen down on the left. 
 
 The mass of men on the bridges of the ship are 
 all sailors, the whole ship's company, to the number 
 of nearly goo being assembled on this occasion. The 
 day was not only very wet, raining hard, but dark 
 and foggy.
