To JAMES M. Sl71.LIv.~\1\', ESQ.
D1-:An SIR : The announcement of
our approaching departure has been
eceived by ue with feelings of

which in the ordinary routine of life, may
be almost unnoticed even by ourselves,
till some su`dde`n ifnpulserouses them to an
open manifestation of their existence and
strength.
ln the present instance it came home at
once to every heart how much we were to
lose, in parting from one who by example
and precept had done so much to promote
the interests of the Catholic Literary In-
stitute,of which we are all so proud. You

Guests.
The banquet in honor of Major W'eek.=,
Corporal Brown and the other men return-
ing from South Africa who were not be-
fore banqueted took place last night at
the Queen Hotel. The banqueting hall
was lavishaly decorated with flags
of various kinds and there was feas ting,
toasting music and song and possibly no
imilar event has ever passed oil' more
leasantly. Lieut.-Col. Moore, D. 0. C.
resided and on hisright sat Major Weeks
and Corporal Brown while on the
left was Premier Farquharson.
The vice chair was occupied by Surgeon
Major \Va.rburton.
At 10.30 the feasting ended ani the
chairman proposed the toast to “The
King.” Prof. \Vatts played the accom-
pxnied for the national anthem and the
toast list proper began.
Col. Moore read letters regretting
absence from Attorney General
Peters and Mr. John F. \Vhear. He
also regretted the absence of the Lieut.-
Governor, who was unavoidably detained,
after which he proposed the toast of the
Lieut. Governor which was replied to hy
Mr. F. de St. C. Brecken in eloquent
language, which was frequently punctuat-
ed by applause.
The vice-chairman then proposed the
toast to the Local tiovernmen-t,-responded
to by Premier Farquharson and Mr. Geo;
E. Hughes. _gg
The toast to the City and C01‘P0l!B_tlon,
proposed hy thechairman, was responded-
to hy Mayor Warburtoti.
Mr. March of St-_ John enlivened the
proceeding, with nn excellent recitation
after which the chairman proposed the
most important; toast of_ the evening,
“Major \Veeks and the members
of thc South African Contingent."
The Colonel-in proposing the toast paid
a high tribute to the worth ofthe person-
nel of the Contingent who went forth to
do battle for the Empire and to bring hon-
or upon Canada and the province to which
they belonged.
Major \>Veeks on rising was greeted
with prolonged applause. He said
he could hardly find words to
express his gratitude for the kind man-
ner in which hennd Corporal Brown had
been received on the 'occasion of their
return to their native province. ‘The
reception of Saturday and the event of
this evening certainly indicated that

high tribute to the hospitals a.tfBleemfonj

was that the unexpectedly large number
of enteric patients overwhelmed the ac-
commodation and overtaxed the staff.
Corporal Brown, Privates A.B. Mellish
and others also responded to the toast
after which Mr.March contributed 9. song.
