LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE BANQUET TO GOVERNOR PERKINS

1t was given ont by tie management of the
banquet given in honor to Governor Perkins
last night at tie Fisher banquet hall that nc
speeches would be made, no toasts proposed
and no responses expected. With this sup.
position the reporters of the city press re.
tiIel early in the evening. But the later
proceedings were replete with the most
brilliant display of eloquence, repartee,
wit and sentiment that has ever
characterized an occasion of this kind.
The spread constituted most
sumptuous repast-a banquet with all the
brilliant accessories the term implies. The
incoming Governor, General George Stone.
man, was guest, and was the recipient of a
most cordial welcome to the capital.
Governor Perkins was the subject of many
complimentary speeches and tossts, and at
the close Of the banquet was presented by
Hon. N. Greene Curtis on behalf of the
company, with splendid set of silver. Judge
Curtis, who was master of ceremonies, made
q most feeling and eloquent speech. which
was responded to by Governor Perkins in q
speech which for its pathos, eloquence and
genuine feeling was pronounced by all his
friends the best effort of his life. For its
hearty good-fsllowship, for its wit. its senti-
quet of last evening deserves an enduring
place in the memory of every participant.
The company dispersed at this morning,
hence this imperfect characteriz alton Of
what was indeed brilliant and enjoyable
occasion is all that can be given.
