Royal DEAR SIR :-— [It stands alone in history—that thrilling spectacle of the heroic youth of Britain’s wide-spread col- onies, leaping to arms at the beck of the Motherland, and rushing by thousands, fast as the swiftest ships could carry them to repel invasion, |crush tyranny and establish S8ritish freedom in the mis-governed pro- vinces of Southern Africa. The race, Sir, from which you are sprung, has been little in the habit of turning a deaf ear toa just call toarms. The Gordons, the Black Watch and the Sutherlanders from the hcathery hills, which your fore- fathers loved, were already in the fray, where it was thickest. The heroic spirit inherited from your ancestors was stirred within you you buckled on your sword and bade us farewell, here, where we have met to bid you welcome back. The hopes we then -ventured to utter, *‘ your early and safe return, and re-union with the Caledonian Club,’’ have been realized. You have suffered hardships, endured | fatigue, and borne well the count- less miseries which an arduous cam- paign entails on the soldier. We velcome you back to rest—the cause for which you ventured your | life has triumphed; and when, in future years the story of the great struggle in South Africa will be the theme of talk in your presence, yours will be the well-won right—a |right which every patriot might |proudly covet, to say ‘I was there.’’ | These, dear sir, are words, but hey come from our hearts, and this small gift, may, we trust, in your intercourse with it, serve oc- casionally to recall the _ historic events of this happy evening.
