zie. The table exhibited, in the artistic
taste of the general arrangement and
quality and variety of the tempting
viands. tho skill of the master hand
that has rendered Mr.. Mckenzie the
sine qua non to all such festive occasions
in our city.
There was bountiful supply of the
most deliciously prepared turkey, duck.
pheasant, fish, and meats Of every de-
scription; also. chicken salad, jellies,
pickles, aud variety of such oondi-
ments as whet the appetite and give
relish to food. Three brilliant orange,
cocoanut and meringue steeplea with
pyramids OF cakes iced in the most
wonderful and beautiful style, we're the
striking ornaments. Jnterspeued be-
tween these we're picturesque dishes of
ice cream, blanc mango, Charlotte russo,
polonaise, and almost every other sort
OF delicious dessert. Oranges apples,
bananas. figs and other tropical fruits,
with nuts Of all names. were on hand in
profase abundance. A bountiful supply
of Champagne, sherry and Rhine wines,
with stronger drinks. also, graced the
table.
There vas u large assemblage to de-
vonr these good things probably sixty
or seventy persons--and right earnestly
they set to in their work OF demolition.
As the keen edge OF appetite became
somewhat blunted, the spirit of joviality
began to manifest itself, and the "pop"
of the Champagne stoppera gave the
signal that the hour of mirth had ar
rived. Toasts and song, were declared
in order, the calls for which were prompt
ly responded to. Among the regular
toasts were the following:
st. Patrick's Day and all who honor it
Sacred in its institution, and time.
honored in its observance.
