After the good things had been donejustice to, Mr. George Cooper, in a neat little speech,persecuted the guest with a gold wristlet watch, suitablyinscribed. Mr. Dockrill feelingly spoke of the many goodqualities of the guest and said he felt sure he would dohis duty to King and country. Mr. Beck, in respondingthanked them one and all for their kind gift, and said hewas sure he did not deserve all tho nice things said ofhim, but would try and do his duty. He was sorry to leaveall his good friends, but if God saw fit to spare him hewould see them all again. If not, he hoped to meet them inthe "great beyond." During the evening patriot songs wererendered by Messrs, H. Meldrum, J. R. Beck, and ApsleyBeck. The whole company joined hands and sang "Auld LangSyne" and "God Save the King."
