Aid. Piper, Aid. Frankland, and Messrs. Scott, of Acton, John 
Akers, E. P. Roden, and M. H. W. Wade, Secretary of the Agri¬ 
cultural and Arts Association. 
The presidential chair was ably tilled by Mr. Eugene Coffin, 
of Illinois, who, in the neat and appropriate speech with which 
he prefaced the toast of “ the Queen,” said that they, as students, 
had again assembled to do honor to their esteemed faculty and 
their distinguished friends. The vice-chairman, Mr. Walter Jex 
of Brantford, Ontario, proposed the toast of the “ President of 
the United States,” which was responded to in an able manner 
by Mr. F. C. Wilkinson, of New Hampshire. 
The toast of “the Governor-General of Canada” was pro¬ 
posed and replied to in a stirring speech by the Rev. Mr. Milli¬ 
gan, who remarked that the wide reputation that the Ontario 
Veterinary College was obtaining was due not only to the fact 
that the professors were worthy men, but that they had good 
material to work with. 
The toast of “ the Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario” was re¬ 
sponded to by Hr. May, who referred in flattering terms to the 
manner in which the exhibits of the Ontario Veterinary College 
were received at the Indian and Colonial Exhibition in London 
last year. 
The toast of “ the American Consul” was well received, fol¬ 
lowed by “ the Mayor and Corporation,” Aldermen Frankland 
and Piper replying in humorous and neat addresses. The toast 
of “ the Army, Navy and Reserve ” brought the Rev. Hr. Wild 
to his feet, who responded to it in a happy manner. The other 
toasts were: “ The Agriculture and Arts Association,” replied 
to by Mr. H. W. Wade; “ Our Professors,” responded to by Pro¬ 
fessor Smith and faculty; “ Our Professions ” elicited replies 
from Rev. Hr. Potts, Professor Sheard and Mr. Akers; “ The 
Students,” replied to by Mr. S. L. Hunter, of New York, and 
Mr. T. H. Hinebauch, of Michigan; “ Old Folks at Home ” ac¬ 
knowledged by Mr. E. P. Roden, and the “ Press ” and the 
“ Ladies.” 
It was at an early hour in the morning when the proceedings 
came to a close, and they all retired after having spent a most 
enjoyable evening.
