Abstract
peal into their Report ; and the paper I have last referred to, with the exception 01 such passages as relate to the details of the Company's proceedings, contains Dr. Strachan's sentiments and his early views of the character and objects of this great work, in his own language.They are introduced here, from a conviction that it will be no less gratifying to the venerable Prelate than to his many friends, as well as interesting to the public, to observe how clearly he predicted, when the Company was struggling with its greatest difficulties, the inevitable progress and success of the noble work they were engaged in, and the splendid results it must produce throughout a country which forms a large portion of the globe.When he remarks, in lan- guage which many at the time may have thought extravagant, that the Welland Canal will, in time, yield only in importance to the Canal which may hereafter unite the Pacific with the At- lantic ocean, through the Isthmus of Darien, it is interesting to reflect, that he w r as then contemplating a work which, after an interval of twenty-six years, we now find engaging the atten- tion of the business world on both continents.1826.-On the 30th day of January, a loan of 25,000 was obtained from the Provincial Legislature, to enable the Direc- tors to prosecute the work until the remainder of the capital stock could be subscribed in England.On the 24th September, Mr-Gait, Secretary to the Canada Company, apprized the Board, that certain Directors of the Canada Company had consented to act as a Committee' in Lon- don, on behalf of the Welland Canal Company.On the 30th of the same month, a despatch was received from Lord Bathurst, offering, on condition of passing Government vessels and stores free of toll, to advance the same amount to the Welland, as to the Lachine Canal, -one-ninth of the cost, then estimated at 16,300 sterling, which was accepted, and an act passed accordingly.1827.-A grant of 13,400 acres of land was made to the Company, on the 17th February ; and an act was passed authorizing stock to be taken by the Government, to the amount of 50,000, on condition

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
