THE YOUNG LADY’S APPEAL TO A “GALLANT KNIGHT.”
THE MID-DAY GUN AT OTTAWA.
This cartoon is chiefly interesting as giving amusing portraits of a number of prominent parliamentarians. It is the custom to fire a gun from Nepean Point, opposite the House of Parliament, at twelve o’clock, noon, each day, which gives distinguished personages and others an opportunity of regulating their watches. At the date of this cartoon, workmen were engaged in making some additions to the central block.
