NOTHING TO MAR FRIENDLY INTERCOURSE.
Al 10 TAO p m, the rooms of the Bar Associa-
ion were brimful and running over with legal
aleut. The portraits of great jursts OF former
laws bsamed from the walls upon many of their
modern SUCCESSORS in fame and fortune; and
b the libraries. among shelves packed with the
egal lore Of more than century, kindly greetings
we're interchanged by many heroes of courtroom
,ngsgemAnts and while shop talk" was pre-
,umably not strictly in order, many veterans OF
,he bar recalled and fought their battles over
again Further than this, there was no talking.
SEP speeches" were strictly forbidden, and IN
Iormalty and good fellowship We're prominent
Ieatures Of the great lawyers reunion.
A supper was served IN the big meetlng-room
Town stains. IT was by no means the least note
worthy feature of the programme, and Pinardi,
uent committed, did his best TO make 1t worthy
+ the occasion The table was beautifully lald
,ut. and looked like bank Of flowers with good |
fishes peeping out here and there among the
blooms The reception wos, indeed, so success
Iul IN every way, that 1t Is question whether
yhe Woodworking gentlemen OF the committee
Who arranged and carried 1t out so well, or the
udges in whose honor it was given, were the |
moro gratified by 1t.
