night made the grateful recipients of hand
some treat from s'Mine Host, Louis Kenacke.
Biyalves were furnished ad Hbitum, and the
members of the press bade dull care begone,
and, for once in their lives, confined their
attention to such sublunary objects as oysters.
They tried them on the half shell, broiled and
roasted, and the unanimous verdict, as the last
disappeared, was sBully for you'll"
Oysters were, however, not the only tempta-
tions with which the table was garnished.
Various of the good things Of this Life were
submitted to the same ordeal, and commend
able resolutions passed thereupon. supper,
and especially an oyster feast, is not perfect
without the usual concomitant, champagne.
The press are not disposed to keep "the hands
waiting" and the copy finished by Heidseick
& Co. speedily disappeared. Two hours were
spent in an old fashioned jolly way, and the
meeting was not dissolved until a full bumper
had been drank to Louis, when the guests
sadly dep arted to their usual nocturnal duties.
