A Pleasant Social Event---A Meeting
of Friends of Z. p. Reynolds, and
Reception for Young Couple.

of Friends of e. p. Reynolds, and a
Reception for Young Couple.
One of the largest social gatherings of
the season was at the fine residence of |
Mr., e. p Reynolds, on Fifth Avenue,
last evening, in honor of his Goth birthday, |
and also of the recent marriage of his
son Ben, who was present with his charm
ing bride from Missouri, The house
was brilliantly lighted, as also were the
grounds around by means of locomotive
headlights. Forey Folsom furnished the
music and at his jinging "call.
the young people, after reception, had a
charming dance. The rooms were taste
fully decorated with fresh flowers and or
namerts, and the refreshments were
choice and in great variety, taxing all
quarters of the globe for fruits and rari-
ties.
During the evening an interesting cere-
mony took place-the presentation of
fine gold headed cane to Mr.. E. P. Rey-
nolds, in very appropriate remarks by
Hon. John B. Hawley, who very neatly
, alluded to the many great public improve
| ments with which Mr.. Reynolds had
been identified. 1t bore an engraved in
scription as follows 1877 To E. z.

to Rock Island in 1889, where he tas
since resided. In receiving the cane be
