Durlng the afternoon trolley ride ex-
tended by the city. took our party to
every point Of interest in the city, The
magnificent city hall, where, from a tow
er zoO feet above the street level, the city
ana the country round and the lake with
ITS shipping, can be seen, though miles
distant, the handsome parliament build
lngs In Queens Park, the University
grounds adjoining. and their buildings,
the other colleges parks and public in
situations, were all seen, and the resi-
dence Of the lieutenant governor and
other handsome homes, were visited. It
Is a splendid city; this queen of Middle
canada. 1t has. an American way of do
ing things united with the best character
1stics of the English city and the result
is that it is bound to excel both in its
conduct Of municipal affairs and COM

It was II o'clock, on time to the min
ute, when the Grand Trunk pulled us out

at Durand and dined at Chicago, and
were turned over ahead of time to the
Milwaukee to be taken safely back to
our beloved Minnesota

fully. acknowledging his thanks and his
feelings of personal friendship for each
member of the association; also he spoke
of the labors of the executive committee,

| alize until he had served with them.
Mr.. Stanton then again arose, saying

sented each of them handsome trav-
cling case. Responses were called for
and made by Messrs. Whitney, Hall,
Slime and Meyst, while the applause that
greeted them testified the ardent feeling
each one had for them. It is certainly
