Mr. Lucian Howe was the accompanist for
the singing by the young ladies, which was the
choicest feature of the evening. They first
sang the "HarboT Bar" and to shower of bou-
quets and tremendous encore responded with
rather heavy speaker, devoted himself mainly
to the subject of Education" Mr. Benedicts
response treated upon the dignity and response
bility of the press and expressed the profound
thanks of the association for its entertainment.
Judge Veazey told story to excuse himself,
and jokingly called upon Speaker J K
Batchelder, as a prospective member of the
judiciary to respond to the toast. The latter
being full of speech about the ladies said he
proposed to talk about them and did SO. Mr.
Bartlett opened the evenings vein of pleasantly
with some neat stories and closed with tribute
10 the reciprocal usefulness of the press and
clergy. Mr. Tyler treated humorously Of the
virtues and beauties of Brattleboro, sketched its
press history from 1877 to the present day, and
paid hearty compliment to its excellence
AIRY earnestness, and by many his speech was
called the gem Of the evening, though it was
below his bes: because somewhat scattering in
his hurry to get through in the lateness OF the
evening, Gov. Proctor, however, is the after
dinner speaker par excellence in Vermont, and
though he did not do his best, his remarks were
running over with happy turns of wit. He said
the only thing he evere feared from the press
was the truth, and he had never had reason to
complain of that. Hiram Atkins had spoken
only seven times during the evening-four at
he business meeting and three at the banquet
and so chairman Harris called upon him to give
him chance. He spoke of the honor and in
1uencc Vermont had won in all the walks of
life and in both ofthe political parties and then
recklessness went to bantering
Col Hooker, and Mr. Harris caled upon HOOK
n for response and Hookin few moments
If fun, amid uprerious laughter, proceed to
l1in his victim. The man doesn't live who can
successfully lock arms with Hooker in this kind
IT business, and Atkins good naturally admit
ed, after it was all through, that Hooker had
won every fall.
As the party sat down to supper the First
2sgiment Band gave rich serenade from the
,acony, and during its progress the Philaha-
nonic Orchestra discoursed its best music, both
organizations winning praise from the guests
or B1attleboros musical culture.
