vas the most notable event of the kind
sn many years. The Times says: This
remarkable banquet has seldom II ever,
been surpassed as representative
gathering of all that Is most distin-
guished. influential and characteristic
in the public life of Great Britain"
1t would require columns TO publish
thc list OF distinguished men present
and give an adequate description OF the
decorations OF the banquet hall.
Lord Mayor Phillips sat at the head
OF the table with Mr.. Bayard on his
right and Lord Salisbury on the left.
The court, the house OF lords, all the Dip
lomatic corps of London, her majesty's 8
bench, the London municipal govern
ment, the press. science. engineering. art.
literature and the civic life OF Great
Britain were represented by men whose
names are known the world over.
The lord mayor in proposing the health
Of Mr.. Bayard, said:
"You, sir, not only represent the great
est republic the world has ever known.
hut you are our brother by ties Of
blood and one who has done much to
cement together two nations. We are
here to welcome the lineal decendant
of that great chevalier. Bayard, of whom
It was well said, as IL should be said OF
you, that he was sans peur ct sans re-
proche.' You have inspired love and
affection In English breasts and you
are taking back with you to the United
States the heart of Great Britain"
The lord mayor continued his remarks
with a general eulogy OF the services
rendered by the American ambassador
TO both countries.
Mr.. Bayard, on rising to respond. was
received with loud and prolonged cheer

should exist and which he hoped did
exist between the two nations.

Mr.. Bayard, received great ovation.
He said:
I'VE are here to express our deep re-
gret that Mr.. Bayard's term Of office
is about to expire. and to acknowledge
the debt both countries owe his love of
peace and his enlightened patriotism"
All the morning papers contain editor
falls full OF eulogy of Mr.. Bayard and OF
expressions of regret at his approach
ing retirement. They comment also
u:on the forthcoming change OF admin
istration at Washington. The Daily
News says that England will welcome
Colonel Hay as Mr.. Bayard's successor.
and that he is coming at time when

van OF Rockland, Me-, and Allie Brown
