last evening at the Meonian Hall. Owing to
the lateuess of the arrival of the trains from

pany of employees and their ladies had by
this time become appetized, and about 250
sat down to the tables, which were finely and
munifcently prepared, in the rooms Of the
Commercial College, and to which the COM
pany did justice, both in appreciation of the
display and good taste of Cony Brothers ar
rangement Of the tables and the goodness Of
their contents.
The Hon. A. P. Morrill,, ex-Presdent of
the old Maine Central, presided in his mimi
table style, and on taking the chair he called
upon the Rev. G. w. Qunby to ask the d.
pirate and feeling manner.
After the very enjoyable repast, the chair
man made one of his humorous and enter
tanning speeches, and then called upon
President Rice, who spoke of the value of the
Maine Central Railroad as a state institution,
and the employees as class of men who did
honor to their vocation, as well as rendered
service to the state. lie was followed by re-
marks by Hon. Joshua Nye, Mr.. Philbrick,
master machinist, Rev. Mr.. Qunby, j. A.
Linscott, Esq, and G. A. Phillips, Esq. All
were listened to with interest until about half
past eleven o'clock, when the company a1-
