vices for the occasion, struck up lively
air, and for two hours the large gathering
of men listened to an informal instru-
mental musical programme, interspersed
with vocal music, which was a credit to all

Special mention should be made Of Mr..

ally fine manner that he was obliged to re-
spond to an encore,
The music ceased shortly before mid
night, whom an adjournment to the dining
room was taken, where everybody partook
of q very recherche little luncheon with evil
dent relish. Meanwhile a group of s'the
boys had gathered in circle in the buffet,
where an hour was consumed in the p9ss-
ing round of ''chestnuts," with some
original anecdotes OF great merit by Mil
lloDara Thompson. It was in this group
that three fousing cheers were given for
the SUNDAY MORNING News. Mr.. Jones
passed around very old German ''chest-
nut" but it was told in such an excellent
manner that it bore tie repetition in a
very heroic STYLE About one o'clock e
general marching home" procession
