Mr W. U. Latornell, of the Molson's Bank.

The presentation took place after the evening service of Sunday, the rector performing the ceremony in his usual happy manner, in the presence of the choir and many members of the congregation. The .rector referred to the long and faithful "eervices as choir- master remarking that hewas special- ly. entitled to ceedit for keeping the choir together throl many changer, and for inculcating such a good oprit mom/ its members. He added .that owing to Mr Latornellis sudden remov- al in September that it had been im- possible for the choir to make any recognition of his services at the time, and that they welcomed -this first op- portunity of doing so,. Mr Latornell was altogether taken by surprise, but made a feeling reply, saying that he valued the testimonial much more, coming as the result of much deliberation and thoughs on thp part of his old friends in the choir.
