City Clerk
To this address the marquis replied as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Mayor and Gentlemen of our Qneen:
ask you to accept our thanks for your loyal
and eloquent address, and I need hardly say
with what pleasure her royal highness and my
self have listened to the courteous expressions
with which we are now greeted, and for this
most hearty and cordial welcome We cOnsid-
er ourselves fortunate that so soon after our
arrival in the Dominion have an
opportunity of passing this great city, and
while hating for Il short time within it's walls,
to make the acquaintance OF some OF the
u0tdDle events anu some OF LUe
which represents so large and important part
of the population and Industry. Your beauti-
full city sits like a queen enthroned by the
great river whose waters glide past her, and in
homage bring to her feet with her summer
brceZes the wealth Of the world.
It is the city of this continent. perhaps, best
known to the dwcllers in the old country. for
it is not only famous for the energy, activity
and prosperity of it's citizens. but it is here
that the gigantic undertaking OF the Victoria
bridge has been SUGGEST ully carried out, ard
the traveller in crossing he mighty stream feels,
as he is borne high above it, through this vast
cavern, that this viaduc is a worthy approach
to your great emporium oil commerce. Its iron
gIrderS and massive frame worthy OF the
gigantic natural features around it, and it
stands spanning the flowing firm and
strong the sentiments of LOYALTY for her
whose name it bears, and which unite
in m,re enduring bonds than any forged from
the products Of the quarry or mine of the peo-
pie of this empire. 1t seems but short time
ago that his royal highness, the Prince of
Wales, struck the last rivet in yonder wonder
full structure, and yet what stages have been
made in the progress of this country since that
day. Every year strikes new rivet and
ciuches with steadfast hand that mighty work,
that enduring fabric, the prosperity of the
Dominion. Long r1ay your progress III the
beautiful arts and Industries continue, and far
be the day on which you may point to any
marks but TO those which tell of well earned
results of indOmitable energy and determined
perseverance.
The people of this country may be we'll as
sured that the Earl Of Dufferin has carried
home with him rnpie proofs oe the profound
love Canada bears FOR the mother country, and
these assurances have been conveyed by him
personally to her majesty. Wewish in answer
ING your address to acknowledge the extreme
loyalty exhibited by the French population as
we'll as the populations Of the maritime prov
inces through whose country we have, during
the last two days, travelled, and to thank them
over again as We have opportunity this
morning, for the kindness shown towards us
personally. This scene, the magnificent recep-
ton of your great city, we shall ever remember
with pride aud gratitude.
(Signed) LoRNE.
