 At 1O:15 President Dewen rapped for order, expressed his pleasure at meeting the gentlemen present and announced that he hoped that whether new life was put into the Chamber of Commerce or not, he hoped that these annual dinners would be contin- ued as the years roll on In closing MT. Dewell gave the first regular toast fThe Pres ident of the United States' and called upon President Porter, of Yale college, to respond
 President Porter said: This is the second time I have attended these gatherings and in responding to the President of the United States" it is perhaps unnecessary for me to say that I did not vote for President Cleve- land. We have certainly been called upon to ask recently where law holds her seat. That question has been answered and to-day we know that law is supreme. It is our duty to keep it so. The President of the United States is our sovereign and trust that the lessons of the past few weeks will not be lost to him and to all of us. May the President of the United States ever receive that respect due to the dignity of his high office.
 The State of Connecticut was the next reg ular toast and it was expected that Governor Harrison would be present to respond. Busi- ness engagements, however, detained him and he sent letter expressing his regret at his inability to be present.
 The City of New Haven was the next toast md Mayor Holcomb was called upon to re- with applause and after it had he returned thanks in 5ery pleasant way for the honor conferred upon him and then called upon Corporation Counsel Driscoll to respond for he city. MT. Driscoll responded as follows: New Haven may be described as the larg- st city in this State, the third largest in New and the most beautiful in the whole country.
 But three things are necessary to make it he nearest to paradise of any place on earth "a free public library, free band concerts on he parks and free Tomlinson's bridge.
 I will not take your time to speak of the ancient history of New Haven, for that will 'oon be published in 8 book, embellished both of the past and present.
 Much has been done during the last few years to add both to the beauty and prosper ty of our city.
 East Rock Park has been established with ts landscape of mountain and meadow and ake and stream on the north, and its beau ,iful view extending over the city and har- DOT and even across the Sound to the shores # Long Island on the south.
 The narrow and hideous structure known IS old Tomlinson's bridge, which impeded in the harbor, has been replaced oy new and large one which is both pleas ng to the eye and commodious for the pur- poses of commerce and travel. The only re- niniscence remaining of the old bridge is hao Of k4l1o IL trust will soon be abolished.
 The mud flats, which were formerly worth ess and emitted an unpleasant odor, have oeen filled up to large extent, through the nterprise of corporations and private manu- acturers, and converted into valuable taxable property.
 As to it's government this city has been most fortunate. Not the least taint of cor uption has ever marked any part of it's his ory. New Haven has always been an or lerly city. During the labor troubles, while disturbances and even riots have occurred in ther parts of the country, no acts of vio- ence have been committed here. Our citi- ems realize that good government consiDts n the lawful and equal protection of all ights, whether they be those of labor or apital.
 In conclusion, gentlemen, let me hope hat whether we can trace our ancestry trough several generations of "town born," r whether we remember the day when we rst landed emigrants on these shores, UT aims and ambitions will always be the ame-to protect the good name and advance he prosperity of this our beautiful city "Capital and Labor" was the next toast nd Professor Arthur T. Hadley was called pon to respond. He said One could not six better text than this. Capital and la- or should go together Capital and labor oth wish to be the right hand. The ques- ion is more serious now than ever before. It something that cannot be kept under a | lass case to be brought out at will. In the organization of labor there has come change; capital is and must be the leader. he danger is that the leadership will be in 1e wrong hands, and then comes the reac- on. Then labor says their organizations l nall take the lead, and we have seen with | hat results during the last few months. The Peculiar Outlook was the next toast | nd Judge York was called upon to respond l Ie said he had been somewhat at loss to l now how to respond to the toast that had ! cen given. If it had any reference to | le labor problem he would say that he was ot a prophet and he would not attempt to | rophesy at this time. The claim is made | lat some change should be made in the in- 1 ustrial system owing to the invention of | achinery which does away with 50 much ! annual labor. If laboring man desires to | stter his condition should not think it | ould be policy for him to cut down the | ours of labor to eight hours, or six, or two. should think he would want to labor more ! ours if he wants or expects to become a | Ipitalist. Years ago laboring man could lay | 1t and plan for the future to some extent; ] 1t as machinery was invented capital upset | is calculations. It seems to me that capi | l and labor must become more and more spendent on each other and when both | des find this out then there will be a better ! and better results will follow. l "The High school" was the next toast and r. P. s. Bennett, of the Board of Educa- on, was called upon to respond. Mir. Ben stt spoke as follows:
 Last fall the Indianapolis Journal, observ- g the fact that twenty graduates of Boston 'ammar schools were examined for the pur- ose of finding someone fit for the position | general clerk, and that no one out of the l veuky rDasped eaid |
