highly delighted with the evenings entertainment
There was but OF regret, and that "a the
limited number OF guests This in no way prevented
those present from enjoying themselves for, under the
usual circumstances the party just about large
enough for real enjoyment; but they could but feel
that the magnificent preparations which Mr. Coleman
had made for this festival ought to have been with
more liberal support by the numerous descendants OF the
Pilgrims in this city and District
The dining room was under the MANAGEMENT of Mr.
Coemans excellent steward, Mr. John Williams, assist
ed by some forty white walters all genteely and uni
formly dressed The more spirited part Of the entertain
ment was superintendent by Mr.. Francis J. Beaumont
The confectionery from the extensive establishment
of Mr. John Miller, of this city. Nor should il be for
gotten that the more substantial part of the entertain
ment was got up by G. E. Dyvernois who seems to have
made more variety of dishes upon this than had
ever been before dreamed Of even by Frenchman.
