II. Webb and Paul Spon0rd. The dinner must have
been very good one, as 1t took the gentlemen
who had gathered together very nearly two hours

stead neat little address, calling the attention of
the gentlemen to the advantages New York city
would gain by

they had in view. At his request Mr.. McMurdy
read the speech, which the General confessed the
former had prepared for him. 1t is brimful OF
