Foreign Minister Surprise.
Their stay here has been special- marked by several events of in- tereat to the community. On St. George's Day, there was a drill dis- play on the football ground, fol- lowed by a reception in the officers' mess. On May 17th the detach- ment gave us one of the best variety entertainments ever given by any of the troops up here in the Canton Club Theatre. They also contributed in no small manner to the success of the variety enter- tainment given on the evening of the King's Birthday. And the next night, 5th June, they, gave us a most excellent boxing gain, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
