GOOD BYE. CHARLEY 4
a Farewell Banquet Given to c. B.
Gallup Saturday Night.


If Z. Is. Gallup doubted his popularity and
the esteem with which he is regarded by his
many gentlemen acquaintance. these doubts
must have been dispelled in the magnificent
entertainment which was given in his honor
at the Morton House last Saturday night.
1t consisted of banquet served by the
Pantlinds, the mere mention of whose name
gives assurance that il was most excellent.
2 There were over sixty of Mr.. Galiup's
young friends present, who SAT down at the
banquet table al 10 O'Clock and paid homage
TO the inner man until about eleven, when
Toastmaster William A. Smith arose and
formally announced the object of tbs feast,
and in few well chosen words eloquently
and feelingIy bade the guest of the evening
farewell The first thing on the posipran-
dial program was the rendering of a selection
by the Schubert Club, which was loudly
applauded. The toast ''Our Guest
was responded to by Rev. Henry
Powers, who pleasantly alluded To
his acquaintance with Mr.. Gallup
Rev. Charles Fluhrer responded to the toast
young Men," His remarks were notable
for good sound encouraging advice to young
men to be perseyering, and to advance NOR
ally, intellectually and otherwise. He beau
tifully depicted the advancement of young
men in the world, and showed that their
chances for accomplishing good was much
better than in the generation which pre-
ce led them. Willard +. Keeney delivered a
H. &c 90 tIo
which he said good many sensible things
IN intelligent, forcible and well chosen lam
luaye. Sybrant Wesselius was To have re-
81 on led to ''Our College Days." but not be-
ing present the toast was passed. The Schu-
bert Club followed with glee, after which
Chas. w. Holden expatiated on Friendship,
giving numerous quotations from poets and
writer's apropos to the theme. II. q. VANITY,
of the Democrat, made a most pleasing reply
to the toast ''The Press" in which he gave
the reporter credit for his honesty,
modesty, and respect for Christianity.
Mr.. VANITY eloquently referred to the
press as being one of the foremost factors in
the progress of this age. 1t was an educa-
| tor as well as a reformer. It's advice was
listened to not only by the people but by the
government itself. The guest of the evening
| then in reply to the toast, 'Grand Rapids, y
made speech notable for sentiment of a
sincere gratefulness for the honor which had
been done him. He said that the Grand
Rapids which interested him most was those
friends who were present. He regretted to
leave spot where he had so many friends
and said he would never forget them and
would always be pleased TO see them at his
new home. Again thanking his friends he
sat down amid applause. Geo. A. Smith
sang bass solo, which was received with
| applause so continuous that he was obliged
to bow his Acknowledgements with Rocked
in the Cradle Of the Deep" Then followed
songs by the Schubert Club and the whole
company. 1t was an event so imbued with
| good feeling and sincere regard for the guest
of the evening that he must feel that he de-
parts from spot abounding with true
| friends and good wishes.
