Mr. Hall-Jones mentioned that' New Zealand and Australia were leading tho way in universal training. Ho believed tho rest of the Empire was bound to follow. Sir W. Russell proposed the toast "Our Guests," and Sir George Reid, High Commissioner for Australia, responding, showed that Australia's and Now Zealand's railways wero becoming more and-more remunerative. Referring to Australia as a field for investment, Sir George Reid said ho thought it would bo hotter for Australasians and Britishers in their own daily household policy and in their own buyings and sellings to put into practice that feeling of brotherhood in trado and citizenship and in commerce which was better sometimes than legislative measures.
