During the very limited sojourn of our distinguished visitors from Canton there has been manifest ed by lusts and guests alike a courtesy and consideration which might well constitute a precedent for any cummunity desirous of honouring the visit of members of another community,
When is Excellency our Governor spoke in eulogistic vein OB Wednesday evening at the Government House banquet he stressed certain philosophical fea- tures, the most conspicuous pl which was his abiding faith in co-operation which had its incep- tion in sincerity. It is on that rock of sincerity that we, as an adjunct of the Empire, lay our
stress.
