After the presentation, Major General Black said:- "We thank you very much, your Excellency, for the kindly words accompanying the medals, and consider them a graceful and very liberal recognition of the part, great or small, which we played on that occasion of national rejoicing. We think it would be considered an anomaly if the chief actor were left without a medal. I hope your Excellency will receive one, and will long continue to wear it as a golden link of your Eastern Governorship, and that your family, in the hereafter, will hand it down to their kith and kin as a momento of the prominent part you have played in one of the most romantic and soul-stirring episodes in the Victorian era." (Hear, hear).
