Their Second Anniversary Banquet and
Ball at Pfsifes's Hall Last Night
Though not SO great success in point of
numbers as it ought to have been. in the
good fellowship, fraternal feeling exhibited,
the patriotic sentiments expressed, the felicity
with which speakers and sin gers each fulfill
ed their parts, the st. Andrews society's sec
ond anniversary was certainly a triumph. It
was good to be there. There was a true
feast of reason as we'll as flow of SOUL At
about half past niue O'Clock the company
had all gathered at the hall, and at quarter
of ten were seated at the tables which
were tastefully spread and loaded
with good things by Ramaley. Grace was
said by Rev. Maclaren, and then the party,
numbering about 100, fell to with a hearty
good will, and, amid merry laughter and
pleasant converse, discussed the viands.
Twas not very large company when il sat
down to supper, but before rising it was
sweied to larger proportions. supper be-
ing over-or rather inside-the president
read brief annual address, discussing,
mainly, the relations Of the various coun-
tries to their absent children, and of the
absent countries to each other. Seibert's
string band then played the "Star Spangled

of respect to the sentiments of that beautiful
production.

very effectively. Col. j. 81. Davidson then
responded to the toast, "The land of our
adoption" and was warmly applauded at
the close of his remarks.
Prof. Rhys then sang STOCK O. HazeIdean,"
and, in the opinion of many, his song, that
of W. L. Anderson and Mrs. Kee.ey's were
the best of the evening, but all did we'll. It
would be unjust to those responding to the
toasts to give bare synopsis of their re-
marks. as that would take the life and spirit
oat of them, hence it will not be attempted.
Elk Governor O. z. Davis now delivered q

in which he advocated many Improvements;
was in favor of educating public
sentiment up to seeing the necessity of
building new court house-a noble struc-

and commensurate with its needs. He also
advocated the bridging of street railway
crossings. the extending of street railway
lines, and the placing of the free schools on
more liberal basis. Mrs. Kelley then sang,

for her really splendid performance. "The

songs he knows how to sing, and the pro-
gramme for this part of the exercises was
wound up by the entire company standing
about the tables, olasping hands all round
and singing "Auld Lang Syne." The ia
bles were then removed and dancing began.
