assembled at about hall. past seven O'Clock in one
OF the small parlors or the hotel, and when
all had arrived they were led into the
dining room, where q most inviting dinner
was awaiting them. The company numbered
about one hundred persons, among which
were represented the political world. the bench the
bar and the city government. Many or these repro.
sen.atves were the scnooiboys or twenty years. who
had met and played, and studied together at old
Pubic School No. II. They had their old teacher,
Anson Wills with them, and his successor, Leonard
HaZetne, and together they went over the old days

OF teacner and pupils. Among the guests
were Marshal ToOker, supervisor Oliver, James II.

finished speaking they all went to work,
the covers were removed ana for q while the clat-
ter OF knives and forks drowned ali other sounds,
but the way in which each man applied himself
showed no thought Tor anything else. Champagne
cOrks began to fly and as the generous liquor
warmed them their tongues were ioosed, aud then
began the speeches
Mr.. LUCAS called the company to order and stated
that he mad already been admonshed several times
to begin the literary exercises OF the evening. but
seeing them enjoying themselves go much he was
0th TO interrupt them. He considered IL a great
honor to preside on such an occasion, and trusted
he would acauit himself credtaDly. He would not
90 into the details OF their meeting or OF their assO
citation, az II would be useless repetition, bat he
would call to mind the friend or their scnool days
and propose the health OF Ans0n Willis.
This announcement was greeted with three hearty
cheer5,S after which Mr.. Willis arose To respond.
lie contrasted the men before him with the boys he
had taught so many years ago; he could scarcely
realize they were the same persons. lie thanked
them for their Kindness in calling upon him, and
gave way to Mr.. kIazeitine. lie called the ''Doys"
10 order, as he had formerly, and after few
marks, which were interrupted by prolonged cheers
he gave to Others. several other snort speeches
were made and, after pursuing their festivities to
late hour, the old scnoolAeys and their guests
