trait of Mr.. Burial (painted by Hender-
SOM accompanying it with appropriate

full consideration for the club, by Mrs.
Burial, to procure this valuable mem ento
of one who was so we'll liked by every
member, and all expressed hearty thanks
TO the lady who showed them so marked a
kindness.

Mr., Gaskell, in responding to the last
toast, highly complimented the Harper
House and its worthy proprietor, the bill
of fare, the manager of the dining room
Frank Stewart especially compliment
ing him for the excellent discipline of his
help and the very quiet-and regular and
orderly manner in which the dinner wal
served,
The remarks of Mr.. Adams and Mr.
Buford were the model responses of tn,
evening, and brought out as in fact die
most of the others) a good deal of ap
plause. If the young gentlemen who ar,
ambitious to become good takers would
leave their manuscripts at home the.
would be more likely, some dav
to be good speakers. The respons,
of ex-Mayor J. NJ. Buford was
genuine surprise, and apparently
wholly extempore He attributed it t
Kelly Island" but whatever may hav
been the cause it produced more rea
hearty laughter than anything during tn
evening. Even the sedate Mayor Butte
laid back in his chair and laughed him
self sore.
The remainder of the evening Tor night
for it was nearly o'clock when the
broke up) was filled up with impromptu
speeches, stories and song
1t was jolly time.
