Major liustced, Capt. Frennette, Capt. (X Lane, Capt. Whitley and many others. The dinner was a success in every particular, and a most (c joy able time was spent.

An error was made in Saturday's column when it was staled that CapU Hibbard waa in command of No. 2 Company at their gun thill inspection. It should have read Capt. Collins, who, as everyone knows, is now and bas been in command for several years past. The Fifth Royal Soota.

At ten minutes to four o'clock the 5th Royal Scots of Canada entered by the eastern gate. They came np the northern side of the Champ de Mars in column, and as the men stepped out freely and in unison, with their picturesque uniform and feather bonnets, the effect produced was indeed a brilliant one, and has seldom been excelled by citizen soldiers on the local parade grounds. They were as steady on the march as a rock, and their bearing was soldierly. All the uniforms were clean to a degree and th accoutrements were shining like new pins. It was indeed a pretty sight to see the battalion forming into line to prepare for the reception of the inspecting officer.

It must be admitted that it was not as well done as it might have been, even though there was time to take np their proper distances. It is generally believed that the Scots were seen at their best. Doubtful it is it they ever did better work than they executed on Saturday afternoon. Those who thronged the Chomp de Mars were of one mind, and that was, that they were proud of their kilted corps, and they had every reason to be so. The standard of excellence set by the Victoria Rifles at the opening of the inspection season was not lost sight of by Col.

Strathy, and his officers and men, who aimed to excell the Vies to secure possession of Sir Donald A. Smith's coveted trophy, and it is a matter of doubt with many as to whether it will be entrusted to the Commander of the Vies or the Scots. One thing is pretty sure, and that is, it will be a close competition between the two. However, that is a matter for the military authorities to decide. The muster was a good one, 29T all told.

It was made up as follows Lieut. -Col. Strathy in command. The other mounted officers were Majors Ibbotson, Iilacklock and Lydon, and Surgeon Hollo Campbell. There were also on parade Capt.

Foster, Quartermaster, and Capt. Foulis, The officers and strength of companies were as follows No. 1 Company Capt. Carson, Liouts. Campbell and Evans; 62 all told.

2 Company Capt. Sims and Lieut. Millar; 49 all told. No. 3 Company Capt.

J. S. Ibbotson and Lieut. Oliver; 45 all told. 1 No.

4 Company Capt. Cantlie and Lieut. Mcighan; 39 all told. No. 5 Company Capt.

Browne and Lieut. Armstrong, 31) all told. No. 6 Company Capt. Cameron, Liouts.

Adair and Forbes, 38 all told. The stuff was composed of Sergeant-Major Currie, Staff Sergeants Kennedy, Tabb, Kingan, Kelly, Mathieson, Cook, Boyd and McKeown. There were thirty-two bandsmen, six pipers and 6 pioneers. The colors were carried by Lieuts. Evans and Oliver.

It must not be forgotten that the High, land Cadets turned out and added to the beauty of the scene. Another point that should not be lost sight of, and that is the music played by the band was new, with one or two exceptions, the lot being well played, The inspecting officer was Maunsell, who wag accompanied by Col. Houghton, D.A.G., Major McLean, and Capt. McDougall. They were received wiiai the general salute, the band playing The Garb of Old After this began a try-ing inspection, commencing with an examination of the ranks and immediately after a minute one by companies.

Next came what everybody likes to see, the march past, which was done in column. It was exceedingly well done, and it would be hard td say which of the six companies was the steadiest, all were good. The return march past was equally well done. A very pretty movement, which was exceedingly well done, was the succession of companies forward from the left. No, 6 passed through the ranks of No.

5, and so on until it became the leading company for the time being. Under the command of Major Ibbotson the manual and firing exercises were gone through with with precision. Capt. Cameron and Lieut. Campbell also put the regiment through some battalion movements, which were well executed.

With the general salute ended a most creditable inspection. The regiment was then marched through the principal Btreets of the city. At the Drill Hall Strathy said that he was authorized by Lieut. -CoL Maunsell to say that he was exceedingly well pleased with Iheirwork. There was little to find fault with and much to commend.

He also referred to the muster and work of No. 1. He would send the best kind of a report to the Major-General commanding the forces. Speaking personally, Lieut. -Col.

Strathy added his own token of tribute to the officers and men for the excellent manner in which they had that day acquitted themselves. He felt sure that they were nearer to the Sir Donald A. Smith cup than they had ever been before. The Mount Royal Rifles. Immediately the Royal Scots vacated the historic grounds, the Mount Royal Riflus (651b) took possession of them.

True it is that the battalion did not undergo such a testes did its predecessors of that afternoon. But what movements were executed were done thoroughly and It must be borne in mind that the commands are given in a language which is not the mother tongue of the members of the battalion, so that, if they were not as quickly done as some people desired, the foregoing foot must be taken into consideration. Therefore all the more honor is due to the members of the GGth for the fine showing they made. No doubt, if the opportunity had been offered them, they would have shown that they were capable of executing more difficult movements; but time did not permit. When Lieut.

-Col, Maunsell said that he was pleated with what they had done, it is useless to say any more. The muster was a large one, 305 including all ranks. Every man's clothing was clean and tidy, and there was a uniformity in the ranks which was very pronounced, while the martial bearing of the men as they marched on to the grounds was favorably commented on. The march past was very well done in deed, all the companies going steadily with the exception of the rear rank of No. 5, which was a bit shaky.

The manual and firing exercise were well executed under the command of Major La-belle, as were some battalion movements under Major Uebert and Lieut. I'elletier'l commands. Lieut. -Col. Provost was in command, and the other officers on parade ware Majors La-belle, Hobert, d'Orsonnens and Larooque, Surgeon Roy, Assistant-Surgeon Aroham-bault, Capt.

Ostell, Paymaster; Captains Mackay, Trudel, Dcsnoyers, Thibaudeau and Pollotier, and Lieut, Pelletior. Immediately after the inspection the men marched to the wharf and embarked for Three Rivers on a little holiday jaunt.

Agents, ill in Address Presented by the Irish Catholics AT ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH Read fcy Hon. Juetlce Cuman-The R'-sIpiclan Buperlop-GeneraTe Reply-The Musical Services. Immediately after the close of the solemn Benediction in St. Patrick's Church last evening a very interesting ceremony took place.

It was the presentation, by the Irish Catholics of the city, of an address. to Very Rev. F'ather Captier, Snperior-General of the Order of St. Sulpice. The presentation took place outside the Church, on the green swaid, which was illuminated by Chinese lanterns, producing a very pretty effect.

On a dais, which was covered with green drapery and dtcked with flags, were, in addition to the Superior-General, Rev. Father Ciin, Superior of St. Sulpice, Notre Dame; Rev. Father Quinlivan, parish priest of St. Patrick's; Mr.

Justice Curran, and Mr. M. J. F. Quinn, M.P.

In front of the dais were ranged a number of clergy from the ieveral parishes in the city, and the delegates, in regalia, from the various Irish Catholic societies, whilst all round them pressed a vast crowd of Irishmen and Irishwomen. The address was read by Mr. Justice Cur-ran. It stated that the children of St. Pat-lick, resident in Montreal, with profound respect and great-joy, greeted the Superior-General's arrival among them.

They dated their gratitude from the early part of the prestnt century, when large numbers of their forefathers were forced to leave the land of their birth and seek abroad that which was denied them at home. They were leceived here and were tared for in all their spiritual wants by a member of the Order of St. Sulpice, Rev. Father Richards, whose name would ever be honored in Canada. To the Seminary of that Order the Irish Catholics were indebted fo the magnificent itiuctures of St.

Patrick's, St. Ann's ar.d their surrounding edifices of charity and education. Reference was made to the part taken by the Sulpicians in founding St. Patrick's, and which led to the coming out from Ireland of a number of devoted clergy, including Rev. Father Dowd, whose noble work won the hearts of his own people end commanded the admiration of the whole count 1 y.

Under him was prepared the present parish prifHt, Rev. Father Quinlivan, whoee abilities were such as to ensure the continued spiritual welfare of St. Patrick's. The devotion of the priests during the sad times of 1847-48 was alluded to, and then the address went on to express the gratitude to the Grand Seminary of the hundreds of descendants of Irish parents who had been educated there, who adorned every honorable vocation, and who looked bock with filial aflection to that cradle of their careor. They owed to St.

Sulpice what they oould never repay. The histories of Old Ireland and Old France were indissolubly bound to cethcr, and here, on the banks of the St. Lawicnce, the exiles of Erin eravod permission to give to the Superior-General of the Order of St. Sulpice an Irish welcome, and that he might be long spared to discharge the exalted duties of his onerous position, was their earnest prayer. The Superior-General replied In Frenoh.

Ho regret ttd his inability to speak the English language, and said that he was exceedingly touched by the kind sentiments whiob had been expressed in the address, and for which he thanked the Irish Catholics of the city. He alluded to the sad times ot 1847-8, and said that he remembered how, in those days, Daniel O'Connell caused to echo through the and especially through France, which had always been a fiiend of Ireland, the wail of the Irish people. (Applause.) He expressed cieat satisfaction with the reference that had been made to the sympathy that had always existed between France and Ireland, and said it sa not with the beginning of this colony that it commenced, but it dated from very long ago, as history showed. In conclusion, he expressed his best wishes towards the Irish Catholics of Canada. (Applause.

Rev. Father Quinlivan, at the request of the Superior-General, translated the main points of the lutter's speech for the benefit of those who did not understand the French tongue, and in doing so he took occasion, on behalf of the clergy of St, Patrick's, to thank Mr. Justice Curran and the members of the committee who had drawn up the address, as well as all those who had in any way taken part in the gathering. The Superior-General pronounced the Benediction, and, as he was leaving the dais, the delegates from the several tooieties were informally presented to him. The musical portion of the service in the church prior to the presentation was of a very fine character.

It was rendered under Prof. Fowler, and the choir singing was especially well done. The "Ave Maria" solo, as composed by Trot. Fowler, was sung by Mr. G.

A. Carpenter, and the "Tantum Lrgo" solo was given by Mr. J. J. Rowan, each acquitting himself very finely.

PANSY BLOSSOMS. A Fine Exhibition or This Flower Held at Outrement on Saturday, The Canadian Pansy Society may fairly lay claim to having in some measure accomplished the object for which it was organized, the improving of pansy culture. This was fully demonstrated at the annual exhibition, which took place on Saturday afternoon. Compared with the show of two years ago, the improvement was marked, and especially was this the case with the selfs, where there was a very noticeable decline iu the number of inforior blooms. The exhibition took place on the Grounds surrounding the residence of Mr.

Alfred Joyce, Rockland Outrement. The exhibits, which made a very good display, we rearranged on tables underneath a row of trees, and the shade of the latter proved very acceptable to the many who visited the how, and enabled them to view tha exhibits under conditions that were decidedly enjoyable. In addition to the show, Mr, Joyce's grounds were thrown freely open to all. They are nicely laid out, and their beauty was much admired. The show was in every rospoot a credit to the Society, and it spoke much for the enthusiasm and hard work of the Secretary, Mr.

Wm, Ormiston Roy, and those associated with him. The judgns ware Moisrs. William Ewing and David William-ton, and thoir awards, which appeared to give general satisfaction, were as under 81IO PAN8IK8, Twelve blooms, selfs George Robinson, garduer to Mr. Alfred Joyce, J. Maxwell, 2.

The Final Matches of the Canadian Military LeagueThe scopes at Cote St. Luc The fourth and last match of the Canadian Military Rifle League was shot by all teams in the Dominion, with a few exceptions, on Saturday afternoon.

It will not be before next Saturday night, at the earliest, that all the scores will be in. Below will be found the scores in each of the tour matches, with the total points, In a large number of cases, however, the secretary has not yet received the scores of the fourth match, while again, in some cases, the scores in the second and third matches are not to hand. In some of these coses the teams have dropped out of the competition. By the scores at present it appears as if the Guelph Rifle Association topped the list with the grand score of 3,541, followed remarkably closely by that famous shooting team, the 13th, of Hamilton, with 3,540. Following next came the 77th, with the 43rd, with 3,450, and the 14th, with 3,419.

The Montreal first teams came in the following order: Victoria Rifles, Prince of Wales, Royal Scots, 6th Fusiliers, 2,806, The different series are as follows: First scries, ranges, 200, 600 and COO yards; rifles, Martini, Martini-Metford, Lee-Metford. Second series ranges, 200, 400 and 500 yards; rifle, Snider. Third or cavalry series, first section, ranges, 200, 500 and GOO yards; riffle, Lee-Metford and Martini-Metford carbines.

THEY ALL DID NOBLY. The Second Regiment of O. A the fifth Royal Soots and the Mount Royal Rifles. Every one who delights in inspections seems to have gathered upon the Champ de Mars on Saturday afternoon to witness what might be termed a triple event.

The friends of the 2nd Regt. C. of the Royal Boots n. and of the 65th mustered in force and 1 watched with- unabated interest the move- ments. The inspection took place in the following order 2nd Regt.

Canadian Artillery, Sth Royal Scots, 65th Battalion. The inspection which the 2nd Regiment Canadian Artillery have passed this year, can, without any hesitation, be said to be the best that they have ever passed. Their winning of the Governor-General's prize last year, for general efficiency, fi'om all other -garrison regiments in the Dominion, wag a natter of sincere congratulation from all the friends and supporters of the regiment in Montreal. From the manner in which their inspection was passed last week, the prospects seem very bright for the regiment to again attain the same success this year. As all know, an artillery inspection spreads itself over a larger time than that of thelnfantry and among the large crowd who viewed part of it on Saturday afternoon on the Champ de Mars, there were many who did not understand that it was but a part, and not the most important part at that.

On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings of last week No. 1, 2 and 3 respectively were inspected in gun drill, by Lieut. -Colonel Montizambert, Inspector of Artillery, Quebec Major King was in command of No. 1, Captain Collins in command of No. 2, and Captain Featherstone in command of No.

3 Companies. The inspections were eminently satisfactory, and although all three Companies were not precisely equal in proficiency, the general results called forth warm words of praise from the Inspecting Officer. The same thing must be said of the infantry inspection on Saturday afternoon. Taking into consideration the tact that the regiment is not one of infantry, the inspection was a remarkably good one. Indeed, had they f.ient all their time in infantry it would have been very creditable.

The appearance of the men was all that could be desid. Clothing was neat and clean, and accoutrements as bright as polishing could it-juke them. They were certainly a fine liking body of men in their handsome uniforms. It had been arranged that the impaction was to start at a quarter to thrbu, in order to allow the Royal Soots to come on at half-past. It was not until after three, however, that they marched on to the grounds, where Lieut.

-Col. Montizambert, the inspecting officer, was in waiting, accompanied by Capt. Whitley, 6th Hussars, and Capt. Ogilvie, Victoria Killes. The regiment was greeted with warm applause from the spectators as they marched on the grounds.

Montizambert made a close inspection, passing from right to left in front, and from left to right in the rear. At this point it might be well to give a word of praise to the band for their excellent playing. They made an error, a rather flagrant one from the spectators' point of view, by not playing the National Anthem at the general salute. Every one waited expectantly for the familiar strains, but they came not. Outride of this, nothing but praise can be given the band.

The movements preparatory to the march past were smartly and promptly done, and there was no losing of distances. Indeed, this was one of the best features of the whole inspection. It is a very common fault, this losing of distance, but it is one from which the 2nd Regiment C.A. is particularly free. The march past was in column of half companies, and was particularly good, calling forth rouuds of applause from the spectators.

The two divisions of No. 1 Company came along steady as a rock, and moving like one man. The same can be said as to No. 2 and the first division of No. 3 Company, One man in the rear rank of the second division of No.

3 Company, who insisted on marching just a tew paces behind all the rest, spoilt the effect in that partica-lar. The march back with trail arms was also very good. The bayonet and firing exeroises, under command of Major Ogilvy, were excellent. The prompt firing was particularly good, the click of the rifles of the long line sounding as one. The inspection, or rather this part of the inspection, was but a short one, taking up but little over half an hour.

On the conclusion of the inspection the regiment had a short march out, returning their armory, where, before dismissal, Montizambert paid them the iirbest compliment for their fine work. The parade state showed the regiment to be over strength and with a full establishment of oflicers. It was as follows i Lieut. -Col, Cole, in command; Major Ogilvy, Major King, Capt. Hibhard, Adjutant; Major Trotter, Paymaster; Quartermaster Wynne; Surgeon V.
