THE ANNIVERSARY SUPPER.
This entertainment was given over Mil
lers restaurant, on st. Charles street, and
was, in its material aspect, highly credita-
Bile to that skillful caterer. The perfect
success of the affair, however, as o social
and intellectual reunion, must be attribu-
ted to the worthy officers who had it in
charge on behalf of the Society, and who
30 well knew how to make the occasion as
sociable and free from constraint as home
circle. rs a @ s@e #e g Ns

substantials of the feast, the President,
Mr.. Cummings, proceeded to read the reg
ular toasts, the first of which was to St.
Patrick. This was eloquently responded
to by Father Flanagan, who warmed up
with great animation-as he referred to the
young imitators of that great Saint, in their
contempt for human respect whenever it
would interfere with duty. - =

effort of the young gentlemen of the sociez

the circumstances of the moment. Across
the street licensed gambling saloon was
in full blast, and the ringing cry of 46, rs,

Mr.. Dimitry's remarks. The orator grace
fully seized the incident to draw an elo-
quent contrast between the votaries of ay
arice and vice across the way and the hon
CRADLE young gentlemen around him, whose
