On the return trip the visitors were asked to assemble in the main cabin, and 

 the Mayor, ascending the upper gallery, proposed the first of the toasts, that of 

 " Her Majesty the Queen." The sentiment met with a hearty and generous re- 

 sponse, and amid cheers the band played the National Anhem. " The President 

 of the United States" followed, accompanied by the inspiring strains of "Yankee 

 Doodle " and an outburst of cheering. Mr. Wasson, the American Consul, re- 

 sponded in an exceeding happy manner. "The Governor-General and Her 

 Royal Highness the Princess Louise" having been honored loyally, "Our 

 Guests " was given, the band playing "The Star Spangled Banner" 



Dr. Sterry Hunt being loudly called for, replied. Dr. Hunt alluded to his 

 long connection with the Association, spoke of its international character and the 

 progress of the work it had in hand ; referred to its previous visit to Quebec, and 

 in closing, described some of the interesting features of Quebec, both from a 

 geological and historical standpoint. 



Dr. Barker also replied appropriately. 



The Hon. D. A. Ross then introduced Mr. J. M. Lemoine, F.R.C.S., who 

 gave a brief but very interesting sketch of Quebec history. Mr. Lemoine had 

 also prepared some memorabilia for the information of the visitors, which were 

 printed and distributed amongst those on board. 



The business of speech-making being concluded, the Canada, a few moments 

 afterward reached the wharf again, and the passengers, bidding adieu to their 

 Quebec hosts, landed and made their way to the North Shore Railway station. 



At a quarter to seven the homeward bound train, placed at their disposal by 

 the North Shore Company, moved out of the station. 



To Mr. J. S. Shearer and Dr. Proudfoot, of the Montreal Committee, credit 

 is due for their untiring efforts to promote the comfort and pleasure of the 

 visitors. Mr. Shearer especially deserves the thanks of one and all for his un- 

 failing courtesy, and his excellent management in the face of considerable difficulty 

 and discouragement. To him the excursionists were certainly largely indebted.
