Sir. George acknowledged the presenta tion in a brief speech, in which he alluded with deep feeling to the extremely happy relations that had always existed between the people of Marlow and himself. He bad always, he said, received greetings from the wives and the children as they stood at their doors, and, he added, the husbands returning from their work always lifted their caps to me and, of course, received my salutation in return It may be that these little courtesies-I speak generally, in reference to the ideas of to-day-are not practised so much nowadays as they used to be. Yet they mean a lot on both sides. It is a great satisfaction to me to recall to-day the Cordial relations that have always existed between the people, of Marlow and my self."
