To Premier Balfour fell the task of proposing the toast to . the guest of the evening Mr. Balfour said that. the sentiments with which thev re garded the American ambassador were different from those meted out to the representative of any other power. The American ambassador represent ed -not an alien power, but a power of whose greatness Great Britain was proud and whose progress Great Brit ain had watched with interest. Referring to the peace negotiations Mr. Balfour said President Roosevelt had taken the right time and used ex actly the right means of initiating ne gotiations which every man in Great Britain and every man in the civilized world desired should end in the term ination of the war. , Am'bassador Reid, who was person ally known to most of those present, received an enthusiastic reception on rising to reply.

Mr. Reid said that more intimate knowledge of erch other was the only guarantee of perpetual peace we need. He SDOke of the coming visit of Lord Roberts to America, and predicted for him an enthusiastic welcome. Mr. Reid closed by saying: "Whatever brings the church and philanthropy of the two countries to gether clasps the .whole English speak ing family on whatever continents or lands it may be scattered, in a single bond, the strongest that has ever held them or ever will the bond of historic reverence of the race for conscience and duty." Sir Htenry Irving read a poem writ ten for the occasion by Alfred Austin, the poet laureate. The last stanza reads: Our homes be one wherever we abide Ours yours, yours ours, a free-giv'n time-lone lease Bound by no fragile parchment, but allied By fearless love in world-embracing peace.
