GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.
The night was advanced when the |
feast of reason and the flow of soul began. After ‘the Queen’ the President expressed his and welcomed the guests of the evening, whom he descriced as the equals in point of bravery and other soldierly qualities of any men in the Empire. He gave the toast of Canada. This was responded by Lieut.-Governor McIntyre and Sir Louis Davies, both of whom spoke in eloquent terms of the guests of the evening,
‘Our Returned Comrades from South Africa ’’ was received with the greatest possible applause,—the
singing of Soldiers of the Queen, led by the band and, cheers.
The Rev. T. F. Fullerton returned thanks on behalf of the _ soldiers. \s a non-combatant himself, he
was in a position tosay that the Canadian Contingents had perform- ed no small part in the victory of| the British army in South Africa,
and that the young men of Prince | Ndward Island were inferior to none | in the Contingent. When the regi-
ment arrived in South Africa it was) not, of course, so well disciplined as others of the force sent out
against the enemy; but when it
came tothe labor of building rail-
ways, when it came to marching by| day and by night, whenit came to| doing out-post duty in the night and | in the cold, when it came to trudg-| ing with little food, and less water,
over many weary miles of veldi, | when it came to the charge, in which | indvidual good judgment was needed, | when it came to facing a_ storm of | bullets,—then the Canadians were found the equals of any soldiers in
the whole British army and none in| the Canadian regiment excell the
men from Prince Edward Island, | (Cheers.) At times these men were |
starved, and at times they were nak- |
ed; but they never, while in the)
, | tield, lost their indomitable pluck. | Oyster Sauce. | One of the Black Watch, after Mag-|

such entertainments. All along the line, at the various stopping places, the Canadian regiment had been re- ceived with demonstrations of wel- come. But in his opinion the recep- tion given the boys who returned to Charlottetown was the best of all. The only charge that he had to bring against these boys, the only charge that he had heard brought against them while in South Africa, was that they were a little too reck- less under fire---in fact it was hard to hold them back when danger was near; but this he thought was not a
serious charge to bring against soldiers. (Applause). Sergeant Lorne Stewart also re-
plied to the toast and expressed the warm thanks of the soldiers for their hearty welcome and reception in Charlottetown.
‘The Monument Fund” was re- sponded to by Mr. McCready, who read the following address from Court Avondale :

We think it names and your own should be pre-
generations, that the noble exam- ple may furnish an incentive to pat- riotism in the years to come. It is, therefore, with great pleasure that we hail the movement to erect a worthy monument on Queen Square asa memorial of the cenflict in which they and you have borne so brave a part. Court Avondale do- nates fifty dollars to the Monument Fund.
Most heartily do we welcome you home, brave, tried and true Brother Foresters and Soldiers of the Queen !
Yours in Liberty, Benevolence and Concord.

On behalf of Court Avondale.
Mr. McCready said there are some things that we would not willingly let die; and one of these was the memory of the men who had so nobly fallen in the fight. thata monument would, ere long, be erected in their honor and that our children and children's children would be reminded of the heroic deaths-of Taylor and Riggs.
Mxs. Watts then sang a beautiful and appropriate ra with a chorus in which Mr. R. M. Johnson, Mr. J. Owen, Mr. J. A. Moore and others took part.
‘“ The Provincial *Legislature ’ was responded to by Premier Farqu- harson and by the Leader of the Opposition, the Hon. Danie] Gordon. Both gentlemen expressed their high appreciation of the services rendered the Province as well as Canada and the Empire at large by our returned soldiers.
‘“The Mayor and Corporation ”’ responded to by Councillor Lyons, who spoke eloquently of the services rendered by the returned soldiers.
‘“The Clergy '' was responded to by Rev. Dr. Morrison, Rev. Mr. Williams and Rev. Mr. McConnell, all of whom referred to the great services rendered by the Rev. Mr. Fullerton and Father The manly young chap-| lain, Rev. W. J. Cox. also received honorable mention.
“The Bench and Bar ’’ brought | up Judge Warburton and Mr. W. 5. Stewart, Q.C., both of whom de- livered excellent speeches; in which particular reference was made to the services of Messrs. Weeks, Mel- lish and McDonald, and in which the services of the Canadian Contingent were eloquently acknowledged.
“The Army and Navy’ was re- |
sponded to by Lieut-Colonel McLeod, |
of the 82nd Regiment, who welcom- ed the returned men of his force, and thanked God that so many had escaped the dangers of the war.
‘‘The Medical Profession was re- sponded to by Drs. Taylor and Jenkins, who called to mind the im- portant part enacted by the army surgeons in the saving of lives and limbs.
‘‘ The Red Cross Society’ brought up Dr. Harry Johnson; and ‘‘ The Press’’ Messrs. Cotton and Nash. The former referred particularly to the prompt and excellent service rendered by the Anglo-American Telegraph company and its officials, and the latter acknowledged the deeply interesting letters of the boys, publication of which had been permitted in the newspapers of this Province.
by Sergt. Hession, who referred to the great debt of gratitude due by many of the soldiers in South Africa (including himself) to the lady nurses in the army hospitals.
