Reception to David Dudley Field.

New YORK, Feb 13-The eightieth anniversary
of the birth of David Dudley Field, the eminent
lawyer and jurst was celebrated to night at the
residence of Cyrus w. Field. From an early
hour until long after midnight steady stream
of guests poured through the richly decorated
parlors and reception rooms of the
Field mansion in Gramercy Park,
and congratulated the eminent jurist on the
attainment of his four score years A pillow of
roses, bearing the inscription I'D. d. F.,
1S05-l8S5," stood upon marble stand. directly
opposite to the main entrance to the drawing
room Among those who congratulated
Mr.. Field were representative men from
nearly every department of the munich
pal and State governments and professional
and business life. Mr. Field, as he received his
guests certainly did not seem to bear the weight
of his years with any difficulty whatever. His
figure is still erect and his step elastic. His
hair and side whiskers are nearly white but his
eyes are sharp and piercing. He greeted the
majority of his guests by name. The feeling ex.
pressed on all sides was that Mr.. Field would
live to see his ninetieth birthday.
