"A RECEPTION AND WELCOME TOAST" Pipes, olgare, and lager beer, combined with, I suppose, an ensy-going disposition, taking things as they come in humdenm fashion, lave been primarily responsible for the spellation of phlegmatic to the Germans as a rece. But in some resposta they give us points in more -mont, and colonz, and life when anything in the way of a demonstration has to be made. I am saying this, too, with due recollection of numerous Lord. Mayor's Shows and the cirous prosessions of Sanger's or any of the other big show people. The greeting and weleerte toasts on the Saturday morning in August last by the Bargometer of Cologne were as gratifying and, at the same time, se picturesque de any thing I have assisted at. The town hall was filled with cyclists of all nationalities; and in 63: eloquent speech the warmest of welcomes wBJ tendered to tho visitors from afar. Groupe around the spacious apartment where the resep tion was held were sotas hundreds of riders in oyolingoestumes, the great majority of tham geily botecked with silken sashes, the whole front of their dress being ablaze with gold medals, crosses, ptare, and various decorations. Bane of them, indeed, must have been wearing as many as sixty different adornmonte: Besides these, ena of the alaba boasted of all banner of its ows. carried sloft on a single pola, and generally speaking, of surpassing beauty. Every shade of colour was to be seen, and with the janitors er serving man, arrayo, in the brightest of red costumee adorned with a plenitudo of Isco and gold braid. fitting hither and thither in their knee brooches and silken kose, the manne was one that will never fade from the memory. Win. dews of stained glass aided the light, and it was only with diloulty that one could fisco the designs on the tapestry-covered volls or get a glimpse of the exquisite carving on cornice and ceiling; hat during the proceedings the sun broke out in true suminer splendour, and shrine on such a pieture that comes but once in a life time. Affar the toasts and the reponses the good Rhine wine began to flow without stint, and for once in a way we were onded to realise to the full what a fiagon of wine really is. Toaste and sentimente rippled arcand merrily amongst the guests; introductions and hand-shadings all round followed de overy quarter, and for quite half-an-hour the glass chinked and clinked in joyous fashion. Never was such open-heartedness surpassed; every man was erdry man's friend and brothor, and it never established oficially before the frcomasonry of the wheel was brought into existence then and there.
