In rtelteeirved while on our eery tedioas
route match from Grasp= to this
place. It proved of very greatinterest
to me. You are right whoa you say
it is not "Tin Horn Soldiering." A
militiaman cannot get the least idea of
a soldier's me in any Camp from ex-
perience he may gain there. It may
be of intereet on paper to explain a
one.hundred and sixty -mile march in
this ceuntry„ but a, good many people
will not believe • that a soldier does go •
through so rough 48 he does and I was
just wondering myself how it was so
many have pulled through the hard-
ships which we endured in the last few'
weeks with rain, heat, long marches
and short rations, but it was all for a
good result as you already know. Just
imagine if you cam sleeping out in the
rain all night and then getting baked
in the son all day, only to repeat, the
same dose next night. Just jump into
a tub and get a soaking, then run out
and stand in the sun at 1.40 and see
the feeling. Htt 1 Ha 1 Since leaving
Belmont we have experienced nearly
everything that goes to make up a
soldier's life, even hearing the ping.and .
the pung of the different bullets that
whizzed passed. us on the bloody field of
Patarderburg which no doubt __you
read about, and of our success. That
was one of the vvorst days that •I ever
experienced and do not. care to go
through such a, hail of lead again, but
if needs be of course I guess we cin.
Now I could not begin to explain
everything as I guess we will be in
Canada by the time this reaches you.
The country in the Orange Free State
(not called so now) is very .different
trona tha,t Cape Colony; Here the
veldt is covered with lots of green
grass and along the rivers are plenty of
small trees while in • the Colony -are

Plained.• Now for Bloemfontein. For
the first time, I believe, in English.
history this is the first capital of any
country that has fallen without firmga
shoe: It is one of the pretty places of
•South Africa, surrounded on one side
by very high lumps and on the other.
three by the wide opee veldt, it in its
turn sutrourideti again by kopjes. The
plains are covered with thoueands of
British troops- now, but in thnes of
peace by thousands of cattle and sheep
(as it was on °unarm:vat) which makes,
it very picturesque. The city itself
consists of mostly British, a good many
natives and- the remainder half-castes
and Boers. Its buildings ate mag-
nificent, mostly all stoee and red, brick
of the latest -design:, surrounded by
beautiful gardens and pretty walks.
Its streets are narrow and rough, • but
clean and tidy. Business places are
*right up-to-date and so. are the busi-
nesspeople as Von may see by some of
• the prices I well quote to 'you :-Flour
1 shilling a pound, bread 2 shillings

Admiral Dower Win
Visit Canada.
•
Chicago, April 30. -After the infor-
mal luncheon given Admiral Dewey
to -day by the members of the General
Comraittee, a delegation of Canadians
called on the Admiral and presented
him with a formal invitation to be
present at a reception to be given in
his honor at Hill Terrace, Port Stanley,
Ont., on any day in July conventient
to the Admiral.
The invitation,which was beautifully
embossecl and bound in red morocco,
included among the signatures the
names of Sir Wilfred Laurier and Sir
Charles Tupper.
Admiral Dewey, in reply, thanked
the Canadians very cordially for the
inyitation. " Ot all the evidences
of good -will shown nie since
my arrival in New York last Oc-
tober, said he, none has touched me
more deeply than this. We are of the
same blood. There is but a slight,
difference between us, and I want to
say that the one man who stood at my
back during those trying days at Man-
ila, was an Englishman. But for his
support and the moral courage he in-
spired me with I don't know what
would have happened. I refer to Sir
Charles Seymour."
The Admiral said that his engage-
ments were many and that he was not
prepared to state off -hand whether or
not he would accept the invitation.
"Be assured, however," he concluded,
"that VI can possibly do so I will at-
tend with pleasure."
