to the exclusion of your own, so that today
while we feel that you are grateful to the
Brussels Bowlers for many a good outing,
we nevertheless realize that most of the in-

Mr, Macdonald macle a brief but appro-
priate reply, thanking the Bowling Club
for their generosity and good fellowship
and expressing his sincere regrets at the
severance of tbelreciprocated friendships
as far as bodily presence was concerned.
He would never forget Brussels and the
very enjoyable years spent in it and
wished the town and all concerned the
prosperity they desired end deserved,
While not requiring so handsome a gift
to remind him of Brussels he would valae
it as a souvenir of the carpet town and
its big hearted residents who had treated
him so royally. He would always have
happy recollections of Brussels Bowlers
and the champion Foot Ball team of the
town with whom be had been so closely
associated, Impromptu speeches, ex
pressing regrets and good wishes, were
given by President Leatherdale, J. F.
Rowland, of the Standard Bank, D, C.
Ross, Barrister A, H. Monteith and
others, and the interesting function was
brought to a conclusion by singing
"Should auld .acquaintance be forgot."
The cane was purchased from H. L.
Jackson and on the nicely.cuased Inmate
was the inscription "Presented to A. 13,
Macdonald by Brussels Bowling Club,
May Int, 1908." Mr, Macdonald was not
only President of tbo Bowling Club but
tools a very active and practical interest
in the Foot Ball team, being President

pionship was won and the Ontario Tank-
