 After the viands had been partaken of to the fullest extent and heartily enjoyed by all who were fortunate enough to be present, Mayor Lewis arose and calling for order re- quested the attention of those present, not for himself, but for those guests who were present and for the kno wledge and informa- tion that could be gained from the speeches. He proceeded to speak of the history of the State of South Carolina and it's services to the Union and concluded with bidding them all ''God's Welcome" to the State of Connecticut. He then called upon General Youmans of South Carolina, who responded in 8 very eloquent speech He said that for a warm and hearty welcome and for grace full and heartfelt manner of expressing it the people of Connecticut could not be surpass- ed, as they had shown themselves on this occasion to be master of the art of cordially receiving guests. He thanked the people of New Haven for the many ways in which kI.a E,o I, ,kal T needed not the eloquent words of Mayor Lewis to assure them that they were wei come, 1t was evident on every hand and the members of the Washington Light Infan- try and their guests would never forget the kindness of the New Haven people.
