'Armourhs on Frilday evening when,
amidst keen enthusiasm, the annlver.
sary of .Paardeberg was celebrated
by. a.Re-Union of the Veterans. The
majority of those who attended were
attired in uniform, and they pmgeng

their seats- when the President, tha

Dr. flifilllelion then delivered an ad-
dress -which was characterised by un.
usllal eloquence. :It was fitting, he
said. that a few remarks should bn
made as towhy they celebrated Paar-_
deberg. 'I-is need not tell them, who
--ere iutorestedlin the South African
campaign and its issue, that the
day 'was celebrated throughout tha
length and breadth of this great
Dominion. (-Hear, hear.) Every Gov-
ernor General, since the battle, had
celebrated the occasion in Govern-
ment Houls; but in addition to the
otlicial_celebra.t'ion in Ottawa there
was also a gathering, such aa they
had there that evening, in every prov.
‘Il0°. miwflng with the approhation
of the citizens and pnrtailing more
or lcs`s"ol a militury nature. There-
fore one justifiable reason why they
celebrated Paardeberg here was that
they were keepin-g in line with the
leading men in Canada. In this Is-
land more than in most ,parts of
Canada they realized it to be a
llounden duty to assemble on the Zlth
of February that they might express
their admiration' for the splendid
rllsructers of those connected with
our Island who so nobly laid down
their liver for the limpirr on our
occasion. The part the Canadians
lllllyad in the great campaign, par-
ticularly in the issue of Paardcberg,
wasnot making for llar; it was mah.
