While he was a strict and rigid disciplinariau during drill okluty there could not possibly be a more genial and agreeable man. He was highly revered by those who were under him.

He filt always been a marked man and made a reputation for himself in everything that in has done. He distinguished himself at the bread riots in Quebec. He was at the time in command of the field division. lu INT! he gured at Montreal in the Uran e riots, when young Haekett was shot. I istory states how the major made his mark in dillerent exploits, and gives a list of the many narrow esca s he has had in his lifetime. During the Cut Knife engagement in the North-\\'sst he was shot at by an indian standing twenty yards distant from him. The ball out awa the gold band of his map, but nliul not reach him. He went on fighting while the band was hanging don n. The lnalian who fired the shot was one of l oundmaker'a tribe. He was an enthusiastic sportsnu-n, and very fond of horses. He has ridden in a great many famous oontests and never rode to lose. At one time he and Lient `Col. Mon- tizambsrt owned the famous running hone. "llarobonea." They won nmny races with him. The horso_waa killed in the North- West. The late major was sent to England as adjntant of the Shoabnryneaa team In I883. Col. McDonald was in oonunand of the team.
