The Japanese Admiral and officers were entertained by the Lord Mayor at dinner at the Town Hall. The company included Lord Northcote, Sir Harry Rawson and Admiral Fawkes. Lord Northcote said he was convinced that neither Great Britain nor Japan would have contracted an alliance if they bad not honestly and sincerely believed that in formiDg such an alliance they wt-re giving the world a strict guarantee of future peace and commercial develepment. He trusted they had united the white enßign of Great Britain to the banner of the rising sun of Japan in an alliance that would prove indissoluble. Mr G. H. Reid, in submitting the toast of Admiral Shimamura, paid a tribute to Japan's achievements. Admiral Shimamura, in replying, hoped the alliance would be renewed again acd again, ijot for aggression, but to safeguard peace.
