On Friday evening the members of the !'own Council of 1883 entertained F: F. McArthur, Esq., retiring Mayor, to a grand banquet at "The Arlington." John Wesley, Esq., Financial Manager of ~he Don1inion Organ & Pian? Co., occ~~ied the chair and presided with great ability. The table was decorated in an elaborate manner 1tnd the menu was decidedly one of the best ever served in Bowmanville, reflectino- "teat credit one mine host Barnett. Aft~r the recl1AJ1·che bill of fare had been discussed with an :i,ppetite characteristic of hard working aldermen and civie officials, the chairman paid a deserved tribute to Mr. McArthur's ability in the capacity he had so long and so satisfact.or· ily filled. 'fhe then proposed the health of the Queen which was loyally honored. The health of the Governor General and the "Army an d Navy " were l~onored with similar enthusiasm, after winch the toast of " 'l'he Retirincr Members of the Council of 1883 " was given and happily responded to by Messrs. Younie, Burde1!', Williams, Kydd and Osborne. The Chau· man next proposed the toast of the even· ing in appropriate ter:ms, .·' Our G1:1est," which was honored with the greatest en· thusiasm. This sentiment drew forth a neat speech from Mr. McArthur, in which he thanked his fellow-members for the handsome manner in which they had honored him, referred tl· the harmony tha.t had obtained :tt council sessions, the abuse often given to public men, fortunately he had not received abuse from press or electors ; he regretted the intr.oductio.n of po· litical feeling into Cou11c1l, as it must make agttinst the interest of the town. He did not blame one party more than an· other. He referred to the deplorable state of Oshawa for years owing to politi~al animosity amo1w He said our 0 the citizens. . tp:tst Council worked for t 1 ie town' s m erests, though they were not orators. · Referring personally to some of the members he (lave them credit for their conduct as puhlic men. '.!.'hough h~~ might n~t enter Council again he would gladly give any service to the town. He thanked the corporation officials for .the courteous treatment he had always received from tliem. Referring particularly to Mr. R. Windatt, Town Clerk, h e said few towns in Canada have as good a clerk. He closed an excellent speech amid prolonged The "Re-Elected Members of cheers 1884 " brought forth timely remarks from Messrs. Prower, Yellowlees and C:twker. " The Town Officials " was r esponded to by }t. Windatt, clerk, Col. Cubitt, treas· urer and T. T. Coleman, chief constable. Mr. 'McArthur proposed in suitable terms the " M anufacturing Interests of the Town," which was ably responded to by Mr. Wesley, who r eferred to the progress of the Or<nm & Pian.:> Factory ancl the popularity of their instruments in all parts of the globe. Their sales for 1883 had n1ached n early $250,000. H e thought Mr. McArthur' had proved to be the right man in the right place. The old council was not a " rotten " council as has been said; the fact that the \lXpenditure !or tll\l ;'~lltr ':YM !!fff~ ~h1u1 the ~~Hm11t"!~ 1ilwwe<1 that they )111.d been eaonotnical. would vote fot· town officials, ind~p1m<l tint of politfos.
