URL2: Host CLYDESDALE, of the Royal Mail Hotel, gave a reception to the returned Contingenters on Wednesday evening last [11.6.1902], and as is usual with everything he takes in hand, the affair proved to be a great success. There was no lack of good things for the large number of guests present, and the various toasts were enthusiastically honored. Host CLYDESDALE occupied the chair and proposed "The King," which was followed by the toast of the evening, the "Returned Contingenters" by Mr MCNAMARA, supported by Messrs DYER, SCOTT, WILLCOCKS, GRIFFITH, FORD (a veteran of the Crimea), the Host and others. Many complimentary remarks were passed by these gentlemen of the good work done by the Australians at the war, and they expressed their pleasure at seeing the Magnet boys back once more, they also extended a hearty welcome to the Kalgoorlie boys present, and the toast was drunk with musical honors. Troopers HARKIN, FORD, RYAN, BACKMAN, GARLAND, O'NEILL and BROOKER responded.
