He felt that he iuscl made no mistake. Ali had been faithful and had always tried to carry out his wishes. A commissioner could do a great deal, it we.s true, but without eeriest aseistanoe he would labor in vain. The opinion expressed by the hundreds et thousands of visitors to 'the Ontario courts showed that the exhibit as a whole, and in every detail, had been , oneer.s TO ens Toovraos,yaiKr4 and all had learned the lemon that we had one of the finest countries en earth, an un- sound climate that could not be excelled, and resources that must make a great peo- ple.

It had astoniebed the peo- ple of the earth thee) in every department we were at least equal to any ether nation., and it was a fast worth noting that in all the cleans where money prizes were effered Ontario had taken more than half.

Be complimented Ontario on its success, end had a goad word to ray to the ether Pre- vhicee meat of which had done exceedingly well with the resources at their central.

As the day were ote tete work prooreeeed still more rapidly and ong before some of the States made even a pretence el readiness, Ontario was in ship elape and awaitiog the most critical inspec- tion.

Sm, -We, the undersigned officials connected with the exhibits made by the Province of Ontario at the World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago, desire to express to you, before we separate to return to our homes, the feelings that we entertain toward you as com- missioner and representative of the Ontario GoVernment The duty you were intrusted to perform was of an unusually- difficelt and responsible na- ture. No attempt had hitherto been made to represent the products of our province on eo comprehensive a plan as contemplated by the Legislature on this occasion. It was therefore all the more necessary to proceed cautiously, judiciously and decisively. Many and diverse interests had to be considered in order that the results of the exhibition as a whol ! should fully end correctly set forth the great progress, capa- bilities end resources of the Proveace. None better than we who have been asso- tea' led with you in this work can testify to the ,assiduous, taithful arid successful manner in which you have accomplished Ihe taskassigned you. Byconimon oonsent you have succeeded in bringing together the lartrest, most cOrn- plete and most creditable representation of the natural wealth and of the intellectual, serial and material status of our beloved Province. We have indeed, good reaeon to csongratulete you that exhibits of Ontario. whether in the departmen t of agriculture, stock -r horticulture, floriculture, apiculture, forestry, mineralogy, archrelowy, zoology, oeucation or sanitation, have ranked second to none from other countries and estates, while as compared with many exhibitethey have proved greatly superior. We are warranted in expressing the belief that the results of this exhibi hien under your management will redound to the advantage of the province. We have had ample opportun- ity to observe the high degree of execetive ability you have evinced, and it gives us pleas- ure to place on record that; we have ever Vexed yea firm and courteous in the performance of duty. That you may Ping be spared in health auct strength to serve our country in many capacities With as high and honorable a record as that wbich appertains to you as Ontario's commissioner to the World's Columbian.
