Hang your banner on the outer wall,
The cry is, still they come
He said, being of naturally retiring dis
! position, he was at a loss what to say
He had prepared one speech. bu1
had found by the morning paper
| that his toast had been changed. He coulo
talk ON the subject announced, but had
| been instructed to say very little on what
ever he might know. But coming to the
subject of his toast he had understood that
the only condition necessary was that the
applicant should be born in early childhood.
He would forbear to say much as the audi
ence was to hear from the gigantic
inteIlects, the brains and the ability of the
Northwest. CDR. Murphy-He means me),
He would therefore sing song called 1.-The
Christening"
Mr.. McCafferty then sang the good old
song entitled The Christening" that called
out more applause.
EX-GOv. DAVIS.
''Our next senator-Gov. Davis" an
nounced by DR.. Stone, called for applause
that ratified the tables. Three cheers were
also given. Mr.. Davis was announced to
speak on the sentiment, ''Of late when l
cried no, like boys unto muss, kings
would start forth"
Mr.. Donnelly. that Lord Bacon wrote
Shakespeare. For himself he believed that
it was written by King James translators
of the Bible. He believed that Bill Shakes
peare was a round, good-natured sort of
chap that never INDUCED in sports of many
kinds, and had moral dread of
water. His writings pointed to this. He
delighted in the open air. His situations in
his comedies pointed to this. One of the
greatest of these was the famous boat scene
when the skies were love-sick at the scene,
and where Antony flung away his kingdom
for the woman that swayed his heart.
Departing somewhat from his text, Mr..
Davis said he believed this age was ahead
of all others in the development of the
manly arts, and he believed it was favor
able sign. He hoped again to meet the
club. and wished for it the most unbounded
success.
DIR. QUINN.
An Ounce of Prevention Is Worth a
Pound of Cure, to be responded to by DR..
Quinn, who was introduced as one who had
rather reversed the order of the proverb, was
the next toast. He said the first nav
igator of sacred history was Noah,
who was nautical genius.
He got pointer that there was to be big
rain: and built big boat on scientific prin-
ciples. Had he not built this boat the St.
Paul boat club would not have been in eX-
istence to-day. He concluded briefly and
was followed by Judge Flandreau, who
spoke ON Innocence Abroad.
He made some humorous remarks eX-
planning that he was not prepared. limo
cence abroad did not apply to him, he said,
for when he had been abroad custom house
officers had always complained that he had
more whisky and tobacco in his gripsack
than the law allowed. While abroad he
had not gotten the idea that so many
have, that there is nothing
good in America. Applause. He would
not depreciate the advantages to be found
in other countries. Art was a good thing;
he believed in it; but nations celebrated for
art were also celebrated for beggars. Art
was all right, but was not the
main principle of nations life; i.
was like a cocktail before dinner,
or cigar after dinner. Art came to ma
tons only in their decadence. And il
would not come to this young and growing
country until the work, the activity of
American civilization, that is the pride and
glory of the nation. had begun to die down,
in the sense in which it had come to other
nations. What is wanted now is virility,
strength and activity for the great battle
of life.
DIR. MURPHY
was called in to respond to ga sound body
in sound mind" He said he was glad to
be present. He had been we'll entertained.
highly honored and well filled.
He wanted more of the same
kind. He had thought of apply
ing for activemembership in the club. but
he had gone down and tried to get into q
boat, but couldn't; it was not made on his
last. He then spoke of the physical de-
velopment. The body must be developed
or the mind could not be trained properly.
He made strong plea for good stoma CHI,
with which he said a man could attend such
banquet as the present one, and drink all
the wine that was brought him. In the
morning he would be all right, while a
small-sized, seven-by-nine man would wake
up with his head swelled so that his hair
pulled, and each hair seemed big as cigar
The boat club was doing a good work de-
veloping the muscular part of the young
man. that put him in condition to train the
mind. Minds without good constitutions
felt the need of stimulants, and many men
of st. Paul, who had the brightest
intellects had filled drunkards' graves. he
argued that all boys be put to exercising
their muscles. rowing or shoveling. or any
thing under heaven to develop their
muscle. and this would build up differ
ent nation in the next generation.
MIR. SAMUEL MORRISON
was then called on and spoke briefly, after
which Dr.. Stone proposed health to the
Minnesota Boat club. and called on
Mr.. Moore to respond. Mr.. Moore
spoke of the good standing
of the Minnesota club, of which he said he
was an inactive member. He thanked the
ST. Paul club for the honor conferred upon
him as member of the other club. DIR.
Hutchinson was then called to his feet and
responded briefly, after which DR.. Richie
spoke for few moments. He
professed himself an athlete, but said he
could not make speech. He was followed
by NJ. Mcdonald, newspaper man from
Chicago. in brief and humorous speech.
Mr.. George Thompson was called on to re-
spond to
THE ICE CARNIVAL,
DR.. Stone saying it was the object of the
Boat club, not only to further its own In
