226 HISTORICAL SKETCH OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND 
     
    
   
   
    
     The monument was erected by the officers, non~commissioned 
     
     officers and men, his comrades in arms, and citizens generally, 
     
     and is a fitting tribute to the memory of a loyal and faithful 
     
    
   
   
    
     subject.

     Major William Arthur Weeks, Commanding. This corps 
     
     consists of four lieutenants and some ninety-nine artificers. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The work of the Engineers is varied and useful, consisting 
     
     of the use of brushwood in the manufacture of gabions, 
     
     fascines, hurdles,—huts. etc.,—the construction of bridges of 
     
     the frame-trestle and floating kind—the use of explosives —-the 
     
     construction of earth—geometry—among sequalling and other 
     
     technical work. Instruction is given at the drill shed in model 
     
     -—but at inspection the work is done full size. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Officers are required to obtain certificates of efficiency from 
     
     the Royal Military College, Kingston. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Among the great assemblage in honor to Her Majesty in 
     
     June last, London had also received a deputation of colonial 
     
     representative troops from near all parts of Her Majesty’s 
     
     colonies, affording as they moved forward a most impressive 
     
     scene of that part of the Jubilee’s demonstration. Prince 
     
     Edward Island was represented by Lieutenant-Colonel J. A. 
     
     Longworth, Surgeon Major James Warburton and two N. C. 
     
     officers of the 4th Regiment C. A. and four N. C. officers of 
     
     the 82nd Battalion—all of whom were attached to and formed 
     
     part of the Canadian Jubilee Contingent, which took part in 
     
     the Jubilee Procession, was reviewed before Her Majesty at 
     
     Aldershot and Windsor Castle, and were also present at the 
     
     grand review of the British navy off Spithead. 
     
    

    
     , Queen Victoria has had so many great events crowded into 
     
     her glorious career that it is difficult to designate the “ proudest 
     
     moment in her life,” but it is safe to say that no occasion has 
     
     given her greater satisfaction than the reaching of her sixtieth' 
     
     year as Queen of the greatest kingdom under the sun and the 
     
     mightiest perhaps that history has told about.
