BROTHER BAYARD.
His British Admirers Tell Him What
a Good Fellow They Think He Is.

LONDON, January 6.-The Article Club,
an association which is made up of the
leading commercial firms of the country,
representing an aggregate capital of 1900
OO0, 900 pounds. the agents general in Lon
don of the Colonies, the heads of the
government departments and many others
interested in the commerce of the empire,
gave a banquet tonight at the Hotel Cecil,
the United States Ambassador, Mr.. Bay
ard, being the guest of the evening The
Earl of Jersey, who succeeds the Earl Of
Winchelsea as president of the club was
chairman, and at the conclusion Of the
dinner he opened the proceedisgs. The
Earl of Jersey. formerly governor of New
South Wales, made a few remarkss in eu-
! logy of Mr.. Bayard, the United States AM
bassador, and then Sir Robert G. w. Her
bert, agent general in London for Tasman-
| ia, toasted the colonies. which. he said,
were greatly indebted to Mr.. Bayard for
the settlement of certain questions tending
to the federation of the English speaking
peoples.
Cardinal Vaughan. Archbishop Of West
mister. proposed the toast to The Peo-
pie of the United States" amid prolonged
cheers. He said: THE United States and
Great Britain have a common mission Of
civilization and Britons have extended to
their American cousins the hand of fell
lowship."
The United States, he said. had often
chosen worthy representatives in Eng
land, but never had happier choice been
made than that of Mr.. Bayard.
When Mr.. Bayard arose TO reply to this
toast, he received a tremendous ovation
IRON those present. He said:
Il have sincerely tried 10 be faithful 10
my trust. We look upon you as our Eng
lish cousins, and upon Canadians as our
American half-brothers. There is nothing
in the growth of Canada but what will
awaken pride in a citizen of the United
States There is not and there ought not
TO be any just obstruction between the
United States, Great Britain and Canada.
There should be no divergence BY sharp
phrases and insults that sting lower than
injuries"
Referring in his usual strain to he rela-
tons between England and the rued
States, Mr.. BayarG closed by saying:
IF l have provoked the displeasure Of
some because 1 have sought 10 preserve
amity, l cannot say that 1 am very sorry.
on the contrary, l am rather grateful for
the distinction. 1t is i'm no spirit Of &c
iance. but in a well considered spirit of
gratitude that I reflect that l have been
able to bring the hands and hearts of two
countries together. If that is my record,
shall carry it away and keep it whcr-
ever l 60"
| The guests all rose in their places at the
| conclusion of the ambassador speech,
! loudly cheering and waving their hand
kerchiefs.
It was the greatest ovation which has
been rendered TO Mr.. Bayard during his
service here.
