the United States.In Sherbrooke city, the heart of the Eastern Townships, the climax of the new \u201cbonne entente\u201d was reached, last night, when the men of Ontario and of other sister provinces, composing the delegation, presented to the men of Quebec a magnificent loving cup as a token of their appreciation of their reception in Quebec Province, and a» a memento of their historic trip, which it is confidently believed will mark the beginning of an era of closer relationship between the two great provinces.The presentation was made on behalf of the visitors by Mr.J.m.Godfrey, of Toronto, who, with Mr.Arthur Hawke, was the organizer of the visit, and the cup was received by Sir George Garneau, of Quebec, and Mr.Hebert, vice-president of the Montreal Board of Trade, who were constituted its custodians.The ceremony of presentation was carried out amid great enthusiasm, and, according to the ancient custom, the cup was passed from one to another around the tables, each drinking to the health and permanence of the \u2018\u2018bonne entente.\u201d It was not by chance, the speakers pointed out, that tills climax 0f the trip w/as staged for Sherbrooke and the Eastern Townships, but this wmt arranged designedly as the most fitting spot in all the province for formal dedication to the undertaking to foster the unity of the Canadian people, for the possibility of such union was demonstrated here as in no other part of Canada\u2014here in the Eastern Townships, where for so many years the \u201centente cordiale\u201d has been in practical, daily operation.The work will not be dropped, however, with the return of the visitors to their homes.The following resolution was enthusiastically adopted : Moved by Mr.Arthur Hawke, seconded by Mr.D.J.Steele: \u201cThat Sir George Garneau and Mr.J.Milton Godfrey be requested to appoint a committee to make arrangements for the return visit to Ontario and for a permanent organization to promote racial good-will along lines oi interchange oi public ; sneaking on i-vdeB of corr'uci con |cern, the dissemination of printed matter and the spread of interprovincial information through educative institutions.\u201d It was a remarkable assembly which met in the great hall of St.Charles Seminary last night.The visitors, who came not only from Ontario, but from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, were represented by a distinguished delegation.Men of Montreal and Quebec, who had joined in the welcome in those cities, came to Sherbrooke for the crowning incident of the occasion.The hall was eminently suited for such an occasion, Commodious, and located within the walls of the Eastern Townships\u2019 leading Roman Catholic institution.The dinner was tendered by the City of Sherbrooke, and in the absence of the Mayor, Pro-Mayor William Brault presided most acceptably.The tables were graced by the presence not only of business men, visitors and residents, but by Mgr.Tanguay, head of St.Charles College, and a number of the clergy, while a most cordial letter was read from the Bishop oi Sherbrooke.Sherbrooke citizens were also delighted to greet their old friend, Colonel Pelletier, home for a holiday from his long absence in London as Agent General for the Province.An orchestra and chorus, led by Prof.Bourgeault, and Including many St.Charles Seminary students, furnished music, and the popular and patriotic songs were sung with great enthusiasm.This morning the visitors were taken in automobiles through the city and to Lennoxville, visiting a number of leading institutions, and at 1.30 were guests of the Sherbrooke Board of Trade at luncheon at the Chateau Frontenac, leaving at 3.10 for Montreal on their homeward journey.THE BANQUET After the toast to the King had been duly honored at last night s gathering, the chairman, on behalf of the city, extended a most cordial welcome to the Ontario guests and those from the other provinces.Since, owing to the absence of Mayor Sylvestre in New York, he had been.| called to preside over that large and splendid gathering, he would use the privileges of the Mayor and asr.ure their friends of the greatest freedom the city could offer.He then asked Dr.Noel and Mr.Geo.G.Foster to propose the toast of \u201cOur Guests.\u201d , OUR GUESTS.Dr.Noel esteemed it a great honor and pleasure to be associated with the proposal of the toast of the evening.All felt honored by ttie presence of their distinguished guests, and they rejoiced at the object of their visit, which appealed to their respect.Their guests had come as the representatives of the Province of Ontario, to create more intimate and friendly relations between the two provinces.Quebec\u2019s population of two and a half millions was composed of three parts French, and the common desire was to work unitedly for the expansion of the Dominion of Canada.They hoped that the year 191.6 would mark the realization of an entente more cordial than ever between the two oldest provinces of the Dominion of Canada.The receptions the delegation had received throughout their trip were a manifest proof that the step they had taken nad received an echo from the hearts of all in Quebec province.Dr.Noel, in referring to the twentieth century as Canada\u2019s century, said her part in the war had made Europe turn its eyes to the new world, and in the future she would play a more important part in thn affairs of nations.Canadians must pursue the policy of unity in sentiment ami action, as laid down at Confederation, and in this connection the speaker referred to the harmonious relations existing between the two races in Sherbrooke and the Eastern Townships, and their united efforts for the common good.Dr.Noel referred to Sherbrooke as the cradle 0f Confederation, and to the connection (of Sir Alexander Galt with the city, also to the L- L liri-.t dr Pope, .mother of the Confederation fathers, lived only a few miles away.He also alluded to the worldwide results accomplished by the power of England and the geniiis of France, and their holy and sublima alliance in the present war.MR.Gau.G.FOSTER.Mr.Geo.G.Foster felt especially indebted for the honor of bringing a word of welcome and good-will from the neighboring county of Brome.It was fitting that demonstration should have taken place in Sherbrooke, the centre of industry and agriculture, and a district which lad furnished so many distinguished men to the public life of Canada, and was likely in the near future to become one of the great centres in the province.However, everything relative to the Eastern Townships was not to be seen in Sherbrooke.When Sherbrooke men got rich, half or three parts of them built summer homes in Brome county, possessing all the advantages of scenic beauty.He extended to the Ontario delegation the right hand of fellowship, and enlarged upon the unity of heart and hand existing among the races in the Eastern Townships for the betterment of the district and the Dominion, mentioning that Knowl-ton, with only 50 French people out of a population of 1,250, had elected a French mayor because he was the est man, an honest man and a first-\u2022'ass citizen.The Brome Board of 'rade had also chosen a French predent for the same reasons.Mr.Foster reminded the gathering that the provinces of Ontario and Quebec were not 1,000 miles apart, and said hat no man had any right to sow me drop of discord between them.1 le expressed the hope that a bridge would be built to connect the two tovinces, and regretted the manner i which ; ubllc men were often vill-fled.In regard to the returned sol-here, he hoped they would not be (Continued on Page 8) 4* *v*«î**î«\t*«*\t\u2022$* «J* THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE SAFETY DEPOSIT
