At the conclusion Of the regular toasts
Mr.. b. CULVER, in behalf Of the company
present, presented Lieut.. WAYNE with a
sword, belt and sash, in q few very neat and
appropriate remarks, which were briefly and
appropriately responded to by the recipient
In the execution Of this part of tho pro-
gramme both Of the gentlemen were taken by
surprise. The person selected to make the
presentation was unavoidably absent, and Mr..
CULVER was called on at almost the last mo-
ment, and Lieut.. WAYNE knew nothing Of
the surprise his friends had prepared for him.
But we doubt if any studied, prepared effort
would have been as acceptable to the compa-
ny as were the brief, pertinent, heartfelt re-
marks called out on the spur of the moment.
Volunteer toasts We're then in order, and
we have room but for one Of the number Of.
