THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER %, 1889.
e. We cut the following from the
Buffalo Courier whose correspondent, Mr..
BUTLER, we mentioned as among the
distinguished guests" who visited this
city on the occasion Of the Bancroft
House Festival. One thing we are glad
to notice, the writer does the President
Of the occasion Col. w. L. p. LITTLE,
Justice, which, out Of sheer carelessness,
we failed to do AS to the chicken yarn,
for the sake Of giving eye correspondent
''temporary relief admit that tits true,
but "thereby hangs a tale" equally
true, and "pity It's, 'tls true" Mr., Hobbs,
the Landlords kindly supplied the CORES
pondent aforesaid, and oursef with an
'even dozen" Of as plump little spring
chickens as ever graced platter, and
the homes of the whole twelve, instead of
the bones Of five chickens, were found as
tied. We plead guilty to the charge of
being somewhat of an eater, but com
pared with the ravenous demonstrations of
one Of the ''lean and hungry" Buffalo
mans, our gastronomic performances are
decidedly delicate. a "full meal has
had good effect, however, on the chap
and in return therefor he gives all con
cerned the "irst rate notice" which we
copy: rhar5 edi 9onglis oi ialoo taN rs
