authorities to the excursionists were much appreciated. 
On the return journey tea, coffee and sandwiches were 
handed round on the cars by assiduous waiters, and this 
course was followed by strawberries and cream ad lib. In 
return, when the depot was reached, the party assembled 
and heartily carried a vote of thanks to the con:pany, pro- 
posed by Mr. J. S. Shearer. Neither did the Hon. J. K. 
Ward’s hospitality go unrecognized, for before leaving 
camp, Mr. Henry Lyman and Mr. J. H. R. Molson, in brief 
speeches, expressed the gratitude of all for his kindness and 
courtesy. Mr. Ward made a sui‘able reply in which he 
invited the society to visit the Rouge again whenever they 
wished.
