THE DINNER.
At o'clock the members and invited guests as
sembled IN the capacious dning-room on the first
floor Of the Hibernian Hall. The scene that
oHereo 10 the eye upon entering was Of dazzling
splendor. The tables were arranged with great
taste, and although two hundred guests we're
present, there was no crowd. The coup deu of
the tables was brilliant. The pretty ornamental
dishes, the glitter OF glass, china and gas-lght,
tho large array Of excellently trained walters, and
that good d-humored face Of mine host himself, the
renowned PURCELL, and his several assistant
Chiefs all were pleasing indications Of the good
things that were to come; and we found upon trial
afterwards that the event fully warranted our an
Gcipations. -$F5 lj5H 45
MuLLERs Band enivened the occasion with their
excellent music, great addition at such times, to
drown the clatter of knife and fork with more me-
lodious sound. The bill Of fare, handsomely print
cd, was crowded with The delicacies Of the new
continent and the old. There was the greatest
variety, and the best and rariest Of every hing;
and never hare We seen guests around a festive
board enter into the material part Of the exercises
with moro zest than was the case at the old Hiber
nian. Mr.. PURCELL has every reason to feel graft
fed at the appreciation his guests accorded his
lnbors.
