In proposing this toast the Chairman was partic- ularly happy end was loudly applauded, through- out his remarks, which we regret that we cannot give in full, He alluded to the great part the Army and Navy of Britain had played ,in the his- tory of th-e world in modern years, dwelt upon. ,the large share these two engines of power wield, ea in the furtherance of civilization. The triumphs of British- arms were he thought, wise- ly_ attributed tothe rare co.md btination which they conthti ained. you ave, e sai • , ho stratagy, pluck and dogged perseverance of the Englishman, the cautious but unffinching bravery and endurance of the Scotchman and the dashing, earn and genius ee Irishman, togeth* forniing a power irre- sistable.

(Hear, hear, and. 'continued cheering.) The teaat. was responded to with "three times three" and " one cheer niore" for the volunteers. Song- "The Red, White and Blue" Major Coleman briefly aelthowledged the very -handsome manner in which the toast had been proposed and. receiv- ed. He was proud of his boimection with the volunteer force, of Canada, and felt satisfied that ,they would ever be found ready and willing to do their duty. • • The Cheirman then called for a bu-mper for: the toast of the -evening.

Reaping Society." These matches owe their origin to a few individuals in the vicinity of Kippen, and. have been 'conducted successfully, -and acknowlekged. to lae the best held it Ontario. for a nuniber of years ; and was given into the hands of the S. B. Agricultural So - ciety, for the simple reason that as A wee purelt a branch of agriculture. they were the partici that should conduct it . In giving it •over te thein, we also gave them What funds remained in our hands, to the enema ,of about $.29, and alas 'a dynametei 'which cost us $35, with the exprest condition, that these matches were to be held an- 'nually, and when they failed. to do, so, the money was to be returned, and they were to relinquish their claim to the dynamiter. Now, Sir, . suet were the conditions ; but what have those get. tlemen done. At a meeting held at Shaw's Ho• tel.,- Kippen, a, tow weeks ago, they deeidetito4old no mowing or reaping matches this year; `but they do not decide to return the money given them, besides we think these men have armed at a wrong conclusion in not • holdmg these match- es, as, I have only, to 'refer them to the large number of people who attend them, at that busy . season of the year, toyconvnice them of the freely • • interest taken in,..them in, this locality. Now, sir, we are not rOmmed to state our grievances T publicly. N't e hope these gentlemen. will explain their conduct it the same naanner. We would not have troubled you with this communication, were itnot, that thepublicwereinterested. There are very many who stbscribecl liberally in aup- port of these matchea-that are very xnueh averse • to their money being used in aty other wey. Probably these gentlemen may set up thefplea that they are short of 'funds, and. that :these matches are too exensive, but the secretary •of . . . . _ , . .- their association, who was •rormerlyour secretary, .., could inform them differently, for, as long as we aondubted them, they were almost self -sustain- . _ mg, we always had funds .on hand, m proof of which, We were enabled to-giye into their haiku d '' ' money an property -to the amount of $64.
