There were no long and tiresome speeches. The program had but two toasts, "The King" and "Absent Comrades." The latter was honored by all present standing to attention for one minute. It was one minute of supreme solemnity. Lieutenant-Colonel Carty was chairman, and under his capable guidance the reunion was a great success. During the evening he read messages from Lieutenant-Colonel Paterson and Captain T. Connors, both of whom regretted their enforced absence from the celebration. After the supper had been thoroughly enjoyed an impromptu concert was given. Songs were rendered by Majors B. Butler, J. W. March and R. H. Tait; Captains G. G. Byrne and J. Snow, Lieutenant Irvine, Sergeant Morrissey, Mike Smythe, Tom Noseworthy and G. Jackman; recitations by Captain H. McNeil and Sergeant-Major F. P. LeGrow. The item that very much impressed all the men was the roll-call to which the following answered:
Lieutenant H.H. Small
Who was Elected as a representative in the House of Assembly by the electoral district Of Burgeo and La Poile. 
Sergeant-Major F.P. LeGrow
Who was Elected as a representative in the House of Assembly by the Electoral District of Bay de Verde.
