Strong, American consul here, and many other prominent citizens, joined a number of the prominent citizens of Trenton yesterday in formally opening the Murray Canal. Arriving at the canal three boats loaded with people; (with the Trenton Band playing on one of the boats) steamed through the canal as far as Brighton Wharf where a stop was made and where lay at the wharf the yacht Surprise, Commodore Forbes in command, which was the first boat to pass through the canal. Later the excursionists proceeded to Presqu'ile, which in the near future will become famous as a summer resort. At present there are many campers there. It was with regret that the party sailed for home. We noticed the following prominent persons present from a distance and from Trenton: Hon. Mackenzie Bowell, Minister of Customs; Mr. Cochrane, M.P; Mr. H. Corby, M.P; Mr. G. W. Ostrom, M.P.P; Mr. D: Gilmour and Mayor Morrison of Trenton.
