words as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen:-I
need not say that wherever British
subjects may be gathered together, this
toast will be at all times received with
the greatest enthusiasm. But it has
a greater and far deeper significance at
this present time, when his majesty
thank Colds recovering from very
serious illness.
L he very lnOuSnl VI Ills LSCSll PCAAA
must intensity our wishes and our So
licitude for his majesty's health; and
with regard to his noble queen who has
shown such untiring devotion during
her recent trial, a queen whose good
ness and sweetness of character has
endeared her to all, we should be want
ing if we did not, on this occasion, tes-
! tify our admiration of her true, wom-
anly and gracious qualities.
We are thankful to be able to felici-
| tate ourselves on his majesty's contin-
ued progress toward recovery, and also
upon the successful contamination of
| his coronation. Let US then unite in
wishing their majesties long life and a
happy and prosperous reign.
1.-THE President of the United States
was the toast to which Mr.. E. P. Dole
said he was glad to respond at the
gathering of British-Americans, and
that it was very fitting thing that
| the toast to President Roosevelt should
follow that to Edward VII; the one to
a courteous, tactful, gracious monarch
who realized his strength and glory to
| be the free people and free institutions
| which surrounded and upheld the
| throne. The other a clean, brainy, en-
ergetic, brave and patriotic American
| who was doing everything in his power
office Mr. Dole said that he was one
! of those who looked forward hopefully
to the time when there would be q
federation of the Anglo-Saxon race
| when the stars and stripes and British
Jack f1oated side by side on the same
ships in every sea, carrying Anglo-SaX-
on civilization and Anglo-Saxon institu-
tions to every corner of the globe.
/ Mr.. D. w. Anderson responded very
briefly to the toast 1.-The Ladies" and
then the program was closed with a
recitation and songs by George Haysel-
| den, j. L. Cockburn, w. H. Bradley
/ George Parker and others.
THE SCOTS.
| About thirty members and friends OF
/ the Scottish Thistle Club gathered Sat
urday evening in the club rooms and
also observed the coronation. No set
program had been arranged, but the
celebration was enthusiastic in spite OF
its informality. Music and recitations,
brief speeches and refreshments kept
the Scots busy until late hour.
