 The disposing of the banquet occupied from to 10 and was much enjoyed. Presi- dent Mclean was the toastmaster and opened the exercises with few happy introductory remarks. About 10 o'clock Mayor Lewis re- sponded to the toast, ''The City of New Ha. ven." He said he was proud to welcome this great body of carriage makers of the conn- try. In the name of the fair assemblage he bade the carriage makers welcome to the city of New Haven. (Applause.) 1T bid you vel come in the name of the city and God bless the carriage fraternity" After music by the sponded to the toast, ''Our Country" He said he was willing to give away few thou sand square miles of his topic if anybody wanted it. The first thought in the mind of every American when he thought of his country was that it was far greater country than any other. He believed that the coun- try was remarkably well governed. The right to rule comes from the people. No American should disparage his country. He had great pride in his country. Our institu- tions govern themselves. He would like to encourage a love of country in many people. If he desired to present 8 class of people who pay their debts-when times are good-he would present the carriage makers. They are practical, respectable citizens. If Yale graduates do as well when they go out the speaker would have better opinion of our educational institutions than he had. His speech was interrupted by applause at fre- quent intervals. The next speaker was Pro- lessor Cyrus Northrop, who responded to the
 
 grateful to the committee of this associa- tion for an invitation which enables me to be present on this occa- sion. We have met to celebrate this glorious convention and the union of education and labor. ''What God hath join ed together let no man put asunder.'' stand here as representative of an educa- patriotic men The grand aim of all educa- tion is to so develop all the material interests of the world that the world shall be the best world possible for human existence. When look at this country we have old William Shakespeare as has every other country, but we have also our grand fields and growing cities. Our country has thinking men who are doing for the world what centuries before have failed to accomplish. Plenty and comfort abound. Education makes men better more wide-awake to find something new to advance their interests. We have education, warm, Nving. and tending to make our homes sweeter and our lives less hard. Educated labor is doing wonders for this country. I want to see every man politician, an edu- cated man, laborer, and then they will be models
 Hon. o. H. Platt responded to the toast s'The Mission of Manufacturers. He said he was not carriage manufacturer. Once he bought second hand buggy and horse. The horse ate up the carriage and he ate up the horse. That was all he knew about the carriage business. He spoke of the duty of manufacturers to make good, honest, serviceable goods, with no sham about them. Then they should be sold at fair cost. Absolute selfishness on the part of manufacturers is absolute demor- alization. It is also the manufacturers duty to impart to his goods as much of artistic beauty as was practicable. Every beautiful form which the manufacturer makes helps to ennoble mankind. During hissspeech one of the curtains at the rear of the first gallery caught fire and for a moment panic seemed imminent, but the flame was soon extin. guishek. A few rushed from their seats. The band played and all excitement subsided. The next exercise was song by George F. Sargent, Esq, of New York. He sang s'The Warrior iBold." In response to an encore he gave Robin Ruff" In response to a second encore he sang '"That Bridge"
 Hon. Henry 0. Robinson then spoke in re- spense to the toast "Locomotion" He said he knew not whether to begin with the wheelbarrow or bicycle, the locomotive or the stars He wished he could do as the actors and appear in varied parts. He never was abashed except in the presence of men who were creators. We used to wonder at the story of Cinderella and her fairy god mother, who made such startling transforma- tions. But hers were insignificant when compared with those of the manufacturers We believe in association. The idea is work ing out the brotherhood of men. He be- Heved that carriage makers in general did not believe in shams. The drift of the age is towards sincerely. He believed that the than the ancient temples of Greece. It equal izes and brings together all men from all over the world.
 Rev. Dr. J. M. Worrall, of New York, re- sponded to the toast "Our Wants !" He said he had~great pleasure in regarding himself as one of the carriage makers, and had taken great pride in being chaplain of the occasion. He said he had been much impressed with the and the educational institu- tions of New England. The association's wants must have underlying them this prin- cipIe-foresight and personal consideration for the future. The motto should be Look Aloft." The boys should be trained and impressed with high conceptions of the work that lies before them.
 Hon. N. D. Sperry responded to the toast, Honorary Members.n His speech was thoughtfuI and brilliant. In closing he said: T have spoken too long, but want to say there is something grand in an association like this. Here men can come together en- gagged in the same business and discuss with each other as to how best the carriage busi- ness can be promoted and prosecuted; and that, too, without jealousy on the part of any. Your association represents the best side of mankind. Your interest is the inter- est of every one who buys or uses carriages. The people profit by your combined thoughts, exertions and skill. Honor, then, all honor to your association. Go on, as you have be- gun, and mankind will appreciate your ef- forts; and may prosperity attend your steps and an abundant harvest be your reward" The last toast of the evening was 'FFhe Carriage Builders" responded to by John W. Britton, Esq. He spoke of. the work that the carriage builders had done and the they had made. He compli- nented them as being one of the most enter prising classbs of manufacturers in the coun- try. American carriages had worldwide reputation. At the close of the banquet, about 12:3o o'clock, fireworks were set of and the con- Tention went out in blaze of glory. The night boat on the old line waited till o'clock to take away those who wished to go,
