Seldom has a larger crowd ( boon seen at a similar function than t that which assembled at the Church t Steps in tho morning to participate in the civic welcome, and the gathering j was not only large, but representative « ~>{ every part of tho district. Lord ,aud r Lady Liverpool had an opportunity of ■iceing somothing of the surroundings )f the city, but general regret was felt, md no doubt they shared it, that their . engagements permitted only of the j1 jriefest stay, in which it was not f.os- o able to do much in tho way of sight- s loeing.
