The Antiquarian supper came off
Thursday evening, March Goth, instead |
Of the preceding Monday, owing to the
big blow. There was quite large crowd
in attendance, who did ample justice to
such old-time dainties as pork and beans,
boiled victuals, pumpkin pies and the
like. There were doughnuts of such
wonderous length that they seemed in
truth connecting links of the past and
present. Ye ancient linen manufacturer
was one of the chief attractions of the
evening; while the mock-art gallery was
a fruitful source of mirth. The old
ladies looked so tasty and attractive in
their ancient costumes, that the old men
lived over again their counting days, and
the young men wished they had been
born in ye good old days when Grecian
bends were unknown, and chignons and
switches were never dreamed of. The
verdict was unanimous that "we've had
a good time Tho the admission fee
was only % cents, the gross proceeds of
the evening were between $40 and $50.
Henry Harry received an ugly cut in
