Last Thursday the business men
of this city, wishing to show their
appreciation of the good qualities
of Capt. L. r. Boynton, of the pro-
peller Wenona, belonging to the
Alpena Transportation Company,

formed his duties in a more than

quainted with the fact, and he be-
ing a man that can well appreciate
a kindness, made preparations to
receive the doners and invited
guests. At the appointed hour a
large portion of the business men
of this place assembled, when the
presentation remarks were made by
J. b. Tuttle, and the watch and
chain handed over to the Over-joy-
ed Captain. Mr.. Tuttle's words
were very. impressive, and listened
to with great interest by all pres
ent. The Captain received the ele-
giant token, but his great heart was
too full for any extended remarks.
He, however, returned his sincere
thanks to his many friends for the
kindness thus bestowed, no ped they
would never have cause to regret of
having made the presentation, and
that the gift should, together with
his dearest regards for the Goners,
ever be kept and cherished by him.
Hon. J. X. Lockwood was then
called upon, who made few able
remarks, after which Captain Boyn-
ton invited those present to be
seated at the Widespread table and
partakc Of sumpeous oyster sup
per, which was prepared expressly
for the occasion. After the repast
was over the friends retired to theii
