NJ. Jarvis, OF Lake Tagish; all OF the
Mounted Police, and Gold Commission
er J. F. Graham, OF Bennett. These
were introduced to the guests and
feasted while the rest were indulging
in toasts. Mr.. Battin has gained a
well-deserved reputation for his tact
and ready wit as POSTMASTER in intro
ducing his speaker, and he did not fail
to sustain his record on this occasion.
After few Introductory remarks, in
which he paid high tribute to Mr..
Hawkins, and regretting his absence,
he introduced Mr.. John Hislop, the as
sistant chief engineer of the road, who
had so ably seconded Mr.. Hawkins eff
forts.
[Here should properly follow the
speeches on the toasts, and the responses,
where such were made, but space would
not permit the publication Of them in this
issue, and to eondense them would have
been unworthy Of the occasion. They are
therefore held for tomonow's issue.
