Mr.. Hersey, President OF the Board of Trade
of this city, said that while gentlemen from
the West were expressing gratitude for favors,
we feel that we have been the recipients
of their favors in coming from the far West to
visit our humble city. We have enjoyed your
company-have been highly gratifed with the
acquaintance formed, and can only request
you to say to the remaining members of yonr
different Boards, that the only thing we regret
is that they did not all come. He said they
should ever cherish in their deepest affections
the remembrances of the hours they have spent
together, and hoped they might be safely re-
turned to family and friends, and the choicest
of Heavens blessing ever be theirs.
Three cheers were then given respectively
for the Portland Board of Trade, the Ladies
of Portland, and the Delegations from the
West.
Mr.. Hadley, of Chicago, offered the follow
ing sentiment:
The Noble Men of Portland-Their energy and
commercial cnterprizc-their extended iberalty and
elegant entertainment. are only surpassed by the
grace and beauty OF their ladies.
John Lynch, Esq, of this city, offered the
following sentiment:
May the arhoie family DO represented at our next
entertainment-the North, the South, the East and
the West.
Three rousing cheers were then given for
the Union, and the meeting closed.
Thus has ended one of the best arranged
and most successfully prosecuted entertain
ments that has ever been had in this city. 1t
was planned by business men who understood
business. A particular part wa assigned to
each particular man, for the performance of
which he was held particularly responsible,
and consequently everything was done in its
proper time and manner. Whatever may have
been the outlay, it has in the enjoyment expe-
rienced, acquaintance formed, and informa-
ton in regard to the West received, to say
nothing of the commercial advantages, been a
paying affair.
THE DEPARTURE FOR THE WEST.
The members of the several delegations left
our city at various hours in the day. and by
different routes. Mr.. Corser, the business
manager of the Portland branch of the Grand
Trunk Railway, put on special train at four
O'Clock p. M. to accommodate those who
wished to return ,y way Of Gorham and Mon
treaL They were to stop at the White Noun
tains last night, and go on to Montreal to-day.
Others took the steamer and cars for Boston,
while few remained until this morning. Ey-
cry member OF the three delegations speak in
unmeasured praise of the entertainment, and
only regretted the shortness Of the visit.
