the steamer would arrive during the daytime
to permit His Excellency to assist at the Elk

after disembarking past nine o'clock. But
after stopping at Government House His Elk

Miss Arendrup, Immediately wendell his way

most enthusiastic reception. On their entry
the National Anthem was played by the Mill

Band winding up the festivities.
A BRILLIANT SUCCESS.
Before concluding this Lasty synopsis Of
the Exhibition we feel it incumbent essential
in a matter of this nature, Jhat is, to offer our
congratulations to oil those to whose energy
and perseverance the public are indebted for
the absolutely satisfactory accomplishment of
the Enterprise. The gentlemen comprising
the Committee Of course, deserve all the
praise bestowed on them for their asslduous
labours; and to all others who have, directly
or indirectly, contributed to attain this happy
result, we likewise tender our compliments,
adding the hope that the encouragement
received on this occasion may have the effect
of stimulating one and all, if possible, to sur
pass past and present achievements. The Elk
hibition, we repeat. is something Of which all
who participated may feel justly proud; and
in saying that it will remain a red letter Incl
dent in the annals of St Thomas. we believe
that we voice the sentiments Of all whose good
fortune it was to witness it.
