THE Land o. the Leaf was render
ed vocally by c. G. Livingston in a
manner to bring out superbly the mar
velous sweetness of that masterpiece

CONSUL FORSTER HEARD.
Mr.. Forster, the British Consul, was
moved by the scene and the singing
to rise and return his appreciation of
the honors accorded TO his sovereigns.
One thing that peculiarly appealed TO
British subjects in a foreign land was
respect paid to their royal family. 1t

king and queen. The life of the royal
family was not one of idle luxury as
some might suppose. Mr.. Forster
spoke of the lack of festivities in the
greater part of Victoria's reign. King
Edward, on coming to the throne, fos-
tered festivities as promotive of trade
and good social feeling. The royal
family played the game" They will

Referring to the good influence of
the King in behalf of International
concord, Mr.. Forster mentioned as one

be assured of the grandest sort of re-
ception. as he was greatly admired by
Britishers and there was much resem-
blance between him and King Ed

And who shall say" Mr.. Forster
asked in conclusion. when we are

Mr. Rawlins delivered an address Of
which q condensed report would be a
rank injustice. It was well put to-
