spread in the main hall on the second hoor ws'
partaken of by the gentlemen present. and wei
stocked bar supplied the wines to wash It dowI
withal.
The entertainment was one of those quiet club
like affairs which il Is more pleasant to rememoe
than TO write about. We compliment the gentle
| men composing the club upon their excellent ideI
| of maintaining the social relations which have al
| ways existed among them during an arduous cam
paign, throughout which they worked strenuousy y
| in the full political meaning OF the word. IL
| also gratifying to know that the name OF tn
| statesman and soldier, w. 5. Hancock, will, !
one more way be kept before the people OF a cit
| who owe him an everlasting debt OF gratitude 10
his untIrpg efforts to secure peace and prosperit

Without being invidious, we hope We may pal
ticulsrly thank Capt. J. Pinckney Smith, presiden
| and Major VIM. II. Ellis, secretary for special q
tention paid to us. Our best wishes are with th
Hancock Club.
