The article presents information on the Winnipeg Canadian Club luncheon, that was organized in 1906, in old Manitoba Hall on Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba. It was held in the honor of Donald A. Smith, also known as Lord Strathcona, who was Canada's High Commissioner, a builder and a railway magnate. His meeting with James J. Hill, another eminent builder and railway magnate from Canada, was the main attraction of the luncheon.
