Liverpool. The ladies were all attired in
walking dresses.

PICTURES OF LOYALTY.
The city fathers radiant tcountenances fully
testified to their happiness. Their hearts
seemed aglow with reverence and loyalty.
NThe Marquis of Lorne, the Princess Louise
and the two Princes were conducted to
raised dais, on which were placed four
chairs and the city officials appeared only
too glad to occupy seats near at hand
but. ON a level with the body of the
house. In walking to their seats the
Councillors had to pass close to the dais,
and in doing SO several of them stumbled
over the steps leading mp to the rostrum,
greatly to I nsement of the audieDce
and even of royalty, for the DuAe Of Con-
naught could not restrain smile as he
saw Liverpool City Councillor lose his
footing and almost fall against companion.
The victims of the mishap seemed to be in
bad heart for some minutes after. The bal
ancing of the unsteady officials necessary
formed at q great sacrifice of personal dig
nifty.

The Marquis of Lorne replied to the ad-
dress as follows
MR. MAYOR AND GENrLEMEN:-Thanks for
the kind wishes and Godspeed you have
wished me and mine. You who dwell in
this gpat port see many leaving for distant
chimes. We do not lightly leave you. Our
hearts are sad at leaving home, but we
cannot stay. The hour is near, and soon
the anchor will be weighed. However,
cheery voices bid MS farewell, and duty
tells me to look forward. 1t is pleas
ant to think. that across the water
we shall find ourselves among our own
countrymen, among the same institutions
der the same laws, under the same deter
mination to upheld and abide by them.
with the same ability to guard them in
honor. under the same loyalty to the throne,
because tis creation OF freedmen, bond
Of strength, symbol of. unity to the Brit
ish people. Where we do not find men
of our own stock, we are fortunate in, fnd-
ing those descended from the noble French
race, the race whose friendship we admire
and whose gallantry we have for ages
learned to respect, and also whose sons
cooperation in public life Canada holds to
be essential to the welfare of the country.
Nowhere is loyalty more true, more firmly
seated, than among French Canadians,
enjoying as they do the freedom
of equal lawss Of justice, of consti-
tutional rule And now, in conclusion, Mr..
Mayor, nothing struck me more to-day than
the enthusiasm manifested toward Canada,
among all classes of the community of Eng
land and Scotland, wherever have Of late
had an opportunity of hearing any express
sion of the public mind. (Cheers.) The
great gathering to-day is renewed symp-
tom, favorable augury. Whenever oppor-
tunity offers itself the old country cries of
ssHurrah for Canada" will be reciprocatcd
in Canada by cries of 'Hurrah for the Old
Country!"
COMMERCE ALSO GREETs HIM.
| The President Of the Chamber Of Com
merce then read an address from the body
which he represented. After thanking the
Mayor for the expression of the hearty good
wishes of the citizens of Liverpool and Of
the nation, this address fully concurred in
the hope that commercial. intercourse be-
tween the mother country and the Dominion
would grow to even greater proportions. 1t
| cherished the belief that the Viceroy, now
on the eve Of departure, would administer
the Dominion government with such JUS
tice as to bring even greater happiness and
prosperity to the people of Canada. The
rule of the Mafquis Of Lorne and the pres
ence of his wife, the Princess Louise, will,
it was declared, cement more firmly than
| ever the union between the Dominion and
