History

In the evening their Excellencies held a reception in the Town Hall, which, with most of the buildings on the market square, and those on Windham street, were brilliantly illuminated.

The days journey had afforded His Excellency an opportunity of seeing one of the most fertile districts in the Province of Ontario, so that though great as was his admiration of Canada before, and he had a higher opinion of both the country and the people than he could express by even his glowing speeches, he was now prouder than ever of Canada and of his high position in it.

The Entire stretch from Goderich to Guelph, and as much further as the eye can reach, com- prises some of the finest land to be found on the continent, and every- hing indicated the greatest happiness and contentment among the people.

On Sunday, the 23rd August, the party attended divine service in St Georges Episcopal Church.

On Monday, the 24th August, the party visited the various sewing machine and musical instrument factories in Guelph, and also Mr McCreas woollen mills.
