An innovation was made on the present occasion by the i traduction of music-instrumental and vocal After each toast and reply a ballad, glee or air was rendered, Each was brief so that no great inroad, on the tune was made-an im. portant point at such gatherings, where so many have necessarily to catch trains and yet have 50 miny chin chins to male to friends and cronies whom it is frequently only possible to meet at such gatherings.
THE LOYAL TOASTS.
The Chairman, in proposing "The King" sit the nation hal viewed with pride and satisfa tion the cordial welcome given to His Maj styring his tour on the Continent, and it was with eqind pride and satisfaction that they knew His Majesty was now entertaining at Windsor a Royal guest-an illustrious repre- sentative of one of the three Mediterranean nav.d Powers. (Cheers)

(Laughter and cheers.) if you want to keep up an efficient Army you must pay the piper. There is a good deal in if you want to keep up the Army and Navy the old adage, "Si vis picem para bellum," and efficient, the truest economy is to pay the piper and plank down the dollars. (Applause)

Russia and japan, which has already been dealt with by our friend Admiral Seymour. We can but hope that though Russia and Japan stand out as Protagonists of varying interests, that they will be reconciled, shortly. and in peaceful manner. If the advent of the Siberian Railway has been productive so far chiefly of disturbance, let us anticipate a time when that magnificent highway will be used merchandise rather than for the transport bf for the purpose of carrying commodities and troops and stores. (Applause.) The progress. which has been made with the railway con Cessions throughout China is a matter of first importance to the country, and we can but regret that our share in these railway conces sions is so moderate as compared with the State-aided projects of other Power.

We all know what Japan has done, and is doing, since she adopt her population, should follow her example, and ed modern ideas, and if China, with ten times develop her resources in the same way and at the same pace, it seems probable that before long we may have a great competitor for the Chinese patriotic statesmen may yet come to trade of the world, both on land and sea; and the front with a desire and determination to assert the dormant strength of their empire in other ways than irade.

must firs: thank you for the great honour you have done me in electing me as your President for the present year. We have had many dis- tinguished presidents who had presided at this table before, and the ideal president to my mind should be, as hitherto either one of these dis tinguished officials who from the nature of his appointment has acquired a full ko wledge of our interests in both China and Japan, or else a repiescatative of one of the large mer. cntile and shipping firms who by reason of their large business connections at all the ports are in constant touch and sympathy with all the Ditish interests therein. (Applause.) We have been fortunate in securing many Presid ents to answer such a description; and, what- ever my shortcomings may be, we can rejoice in knowing that we have members on our roll who are avail ble to maintain in the future the reputation that our Presidents have so fully es tblished in the past. As it was my good fortune to have something to do with the in- ception of the Association in 1788, I might be tempted to a review of all that the Association has done during these past 15 years; but a gline at the Minute Book of our committee, and at the voluminous reports that have been issued to members under the imprimatur of our

Admiral Seymour, in rising to respond mid great applause, said: I derive much pleasure to return you, on the part of the Navy, our hearty thanks for the very cordial manner, in which this toast has been pr posed by you in connection with the Imperial Forces of the Crown. Last year also, I had the honour of responding here for the Navy. It is a special pleasure for me as well as an honour, as it recalls my work in China, and the very kind way in which was assisted by my fellow countrymen there. It is also interesting to me on account the necessary connection which exists in China between the sea-power of this country and our politics in that land, As regards the Navy, it has increased steadily, so much 5 that this year the Navy estimates are larger than they have ever been before, even in time of war. I think there is reason to believe that the authorities are coming to the conclusion that we should build a type of battleship subut any loss of influence that we have incurred perior to what we have done before, but not to on tha account we trust to find more imaginary increase the size of ships ar the persminel-than real.
