Your skill and authority as a comman- der of soldiers has been already shown in your connection with our County Batta- lion. and we are glad to know that the young men Who are going thousands of miles from the restraining influences of home life Will have your example and friendship with them, and that you will impress upon them the truth of the grand old military motto “Obedience is the first duty of a soldier.” was in position. The citizens gathered rapidly and when, a few minutes later, Major Martin, Major Luscomb, Col. Dee. con and Col. Hughes reached the spot it was thronged from band stand to side- walk with an enthusiastic crowd. Already Mrs. Hughes and a few other ladies were waiting on the stand. Mayor Walters, Warden Blyans, Major Hopkins, Capt. Williamson, Chaplain MacMillan, Mr. Sam Fox, MP. P. and Rev. Rural. Dean Marsh, next went up the steps and were quicklyr followed by Col. Deacon and Col. Hughes. His worshi p May or W’alters asked the crowd s attention and read the 1 following address on behalf of the town of Lindsay and county of V ictoria: We congratulate the men of the Victoria contingent on their promptitude in re- sponding to the call for volunteers. and hereby place on record our appreciation of the sense of duty evinced by yourself in originating the movement of sending our fellow- citizens to assist the Imperial au- thorities in the vindication of British rights in the Transvaal and we feel confi- dent that you and your men will afford good and meritorious service to the cause which Canada has adopted, and that the valor and loyalty to our beloved Sovereign which has in the pest characterized the peOple of Canada will be upheld by your- self and the force with which you are identified. To Lieut. Colonel Hugheq. M.P., com- mandimz the Victoria 45th Battalion Can- adian Militia: Signed on behalf of the County of Vic- toria. DEAR Simâ€"The citizens of the town of Lindsay and the county of Victoria regret that hasty preparations for your departure allow of no more time than suffices to present you and your men with a small sum and an address. None of us is bold enough to imagine What may be the final result of the union which is thus cemented between Great Britain and Canada, a union borne of true affection and issuing in mutual practical benefit, but we are confident that the results will be great and that in future history of Imperial Britain your endeavors will not be fortrotten.

Hopkins read an address and Capt. 'Williamson presented Col. Hughes with a barometer compass in a leather case. The address was as follows: 1‘0 Lieutenant-Colonel Hughes, M.P., commanding the Victoria. 4511) Battal- ion Canadiau Militia : Sinâ€"You have been called on to take an important position on the staff of the Commanding Olli;:ers of the Canadian Con- tingent now about to be despatched to the field of active warfare in South Africa and your having been selected is an evidence of your masterful fitne~s to perform :he dunes pertaining to such an high posit inn. Your posiiim, while *ieiug an acknowl- edgment of your high militarv attain meats, reflects great credit not only on our battal ion, but also on the County of Victoria, which bears the name of our beloved Queen- We would assure you of the cordial interest which we take in you as one of the chief officers of the Canadian Contin- gent for service in the Transvaal-an interest heightened far above that which the tidings of war could excite, and suf- ficent to bury all differences which many years of the conflict of party politics could not help _aroue_ing._ _ c-â€" We look with pride upon you as a. neigh- bor and fellow citizen who has been highly honored though no less highly than deser- vedly, in the appointment which has been given you. \Ve recognize you as the first Canadian to propose Canadian assistance in British wars and though your present position may not reach the summit of your hopes, nor of your desserts, yet it is in a measure a fitting reward of your persevering and undaunted Tmperiat patriotsm. We believe that the cause you are going to uphold is a just one. which is in the language of Eugeand's Premier, “to make clear that the great objects essential to the power of England in South Africa. to the good govcrmnent of South Africa and to the rights of the races concerned are the objects of the British Government. objects which, with the full support of the nation, and without distinction of party the Gov- ernment are now pursuing, and which will bring; about a safe and perfectly establish- ed supremacy of the English peOple” in that distant land. SEN D-OF F ADDRESSES AND PRESENTATIONSâ€" GRBAT BNTHUSIASMâ€"THE COL- ONEL SPEAKSâ€"HAS GOOD-WILL FOR ALLâ€"CHAPLAIN MACMILLAN'S ROUSING WORDS On Thursday morning the town said wood-bye to Col. Hughes and next to the satisfaction of having been chosen to go to Africa must have been that aroused by the earnest and hearty farewell of his fellow citizens. At 10 o’clock Major Syl- vester drew up the Institute cadets 100 strong, and several companies of the 45th battalion on the square west of the mar- ket. At their right the battalion band We, your fellow officers, have ever apprcciated your untiring energy and zeal in the interests of our battalion; you have endeared yourself to our hearts in many ways; you have raised the espirit de corps to a very high standard by your courteous manner towards us and the privates in the battalion, and we cannot allow you to leave us now without supplementing our sentiments in some, though small. tangi-1 ble way,- therefore, in wishing you God speed with an earnest wish for your safe return, we beg to present yOu with this barometer-compass. whizh we trust will be of us: to you in the field. THE Towx’s GIFT. Warden Bryans then addresseda few jwelluchosentwordstq the Colonel and THE TOWN GIVES HIM A HEARTY CHEERS FOR COL. HUGHES I thank my friends of the Liberal Cone servative party for this demonstration. I also thank those of the Reform party, for many of them have laid party feelings aside at this time of the Empire's need. There are no more loyal men than such‘ members of the cabinet as D1. Borden the w Minister of Militia, lion. David Mill 5 anal Hon. Jas. Sutherland. These men have‘ stood loyally to the front 1n this crisis and ‘ in history their names will shine in letters ‘ of gold. I thank my fellow officers. Long years ago I drilled under Col. Deacon and whatever inspiration I have received has come largely from him. When the old party was in power I stood true to Major Hopkins and Capt. Williamson as they do to me to-day when things have changed. The gift of the officers will he very useful to me if I should reach Africa. The town’s purse of money will be also needed, for oflicers‘have to provide their own out- fits and they are expensive. IfIshould not go; ifIshould be rejected becauseI have lost a tooth or am not big enoughâ€" Col. Deaconâ€"or not old enough (Laughter) â€"â€"l will hand it back unopened. I want to saya word for the boys who were sent back. They are worthy of as much honor as those who were accepted There are no sadder boys in the country than they are. The city boys have had the preference be- cause they arc more accustomed to march- ing. Every man from Peterboro' county was sent back and nearly all from Ontario. Sargcant McCrae was the weakest physic- ally of our men but was selected because he was better drilled. I thank you for this demonstration and until I come back I have advocated colonial aid to Great Britain in return for the protection of her navy, her consular service. and the credit and prestige of her great name. These things call for more than lip loyalty and in parliament and out of it, I have urged that Canada take action. At the time of the Afghan and Soudan campaigns I volunteered a. corps and did the same thing- now. I have met ridicule from both political parties, but have had eminent approval.â€" While the oflicers of the 45th have stood by me, I have had the support of Lord Strathconaâ€"under Whose auspices, I may tell you for the first time, I took my Australian trip in behalf of this very matterâ€"of the Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, Lord Aberdeen. Lord Stanley, Lord Roberts and others. Whether I am finally chosen or not I shall be satisfied to see a Canadian contingent go out in the Imperial service. STERN TIMES If ever there was a time when men should be stern and women brave, it is now. The enemies of England are busy for her hurt. Mothers should say to their boys who are called “Go my boy or you are no son of mine.” Human life is not too valuable to be sacrificed in the struggles of Great Britain for the world’s liberty and the rights of man. Those brave fellows who fell the other day will reflect more credit on their friends and country than those who stay at home hanging around: the saloons of our towns and cities. (Applause) I am leaving you to-day with a great deal of pleasure and a great deal of pain It is a joy to me that I am at ,last to have an opportunity of taking part in the de- fence of the Empire, and also to receive these evidences of your regard and appreciation. But it is not an easy thing for a man to leave his country and fellow- citizens for dangerous service in a foreign land. This occasion is a heavy nervous strain that I should have gladly avoided. I would rather have taken :my umbrella and ozone quietly to the station, for such a. demonstration as this is apt 'to stir emotions hard to control. For many years I shah be inspired to action by the thought, that the eyes of the. people of Victoria county are upon me. I flu-elf forgive any who may have done me an injury in the past and ask the same of any with whom I mayr have dealt harshly. I hope you will think of us often and always speak a good word for the boys in Africa. Cli.‘.l'L.\l.\' MAi‘i:iLi.AX ' ! spoke briefly. lle said: I wish to call; attention to the {act that in the man who has been speaking we have not only Mr. Hughes M.P. but Col. Hughes. If he were only the politician we should likely be divided in this demonstration but to- ward him as the soldier we can have but one sentiment. Those of us who have been with him in camp, know that he never introduces politics into military matters. Neither will we on this occasion. He and the rest of the Canadian contin- ,gent are not going to Africa so much to thrash the Dutch as the bringing of Can- ada into touch with the rest of the Empire. Britain does not need our help, she whip- ped the Afghans and the Dervishes alone but she could not refuse this offer of the colonies. Some people smile and sneer and contrast a religious profession with warlike talk. I have measured this peace- at-any-price sentiment and agree with it. . There are times when we must have peace These exercises were performed in a very different spirit from that which usually characterizes formal presentations. Those taking part in them were under evident emotion and the crowd quickly yielded to a tension born of patriotic senti- ment, the thrill of wartime, and personal regard for the man who was going from among them to brave its perils. COL. HUGHES SPEAKS. ' Mrs. Hughes stood near the Colonel while he replied. He spoke with his old- time vigor though in the place of his usual vivacious, almost jaunty, manner, there was a seriousness quite in harmony with the mood of his hearers. He said: handed him a purse gift. of the town. containing £25, the During all of yesterday the nation has been in dismay over tidings of a terrible British reverse in the Transvaal. It was reported in all Wednesday morning’s papers that Gen. White had less 2000 men, prisoners of the Boers. Last night the cloud lifted somewhat when the news arrived that instead of 2000, cnly some 900 had been taken and that these had surrendered only because their am- munition had given out. The Gloucester regiment and the Irish Fusiliers were making their way up a steep place before daybreak to flank the Boers. Their alert enemies rolled boulders down upon them and frightened the mule teams, which ran away with the battery and ammunition. Left in this predicament the two regi- ments fought till their cartridges gave out and then surrendered. Ladysmith is considered quite safe. The Boers are said to have lost 1000 men in the action before the city. NOT NEARLY A LOOKING TOWARD CLEAN POLI'LICSâ€" PASSED IN SOUTH ONTARIO The following resolutions were adopted by the Executive of the Liberal Conserva- tive Association of south Ontario at Whitby on the 27th ult. : EXAGGERATED WAR NEWS No.1 The executive committee of the Liberal Conservative Association of south Ontario, at this the earliest opportunity, desire to express our appreciation of the resolutions passed by the executive com- mittee of the Reform party, not only of south'Ontario but also of west Elgin setting forth their professed condemns. tion of the outrages perpetrated upon, various constituencies by the notorious "hil‘hreshingr Machine,” and also avowing their determination to enter into the ensuing lay-elections unaided bv the “Noble- Arzny of Workers." \Ve cannot refrain from expressing our sincere regret that the fair name of Ontario should have been dragged to the lowest possible depth of political depravity by means of those polluting influences. Having had one ex- hibition of the performances and cap- iabiiities of the “Machine" in this riding, { we are determined to use whatever means may be necessary to prevent a repetition of the carnival of fraud and corruption which prevailed in the last election under machine direction. . way“ to the station in time to the stirring music of the band. At the station Col. Hughes briefly addressed the red-coats and cadets and bade them good-bye. They were then marched to a position east at the station and drawn up along the track. When the train pulled out, the people cheered, the band played. the cadets fired a volley and Lindsay had said Godspeed to her gallant colonel.
