 the affair and graced the dignity of president of the association in most fitting manner.
 Already he has won great favor in this city. both at the mammoth store and among it's patrons and the citizens in general. He wors the beautiful gems presented to him at the banquet given in his honor in Providence, B. l., on the occasion of his leaving fer his new position in New Haven. At the first banquet, a sketch of which was given in the New Haven papers, which was given in his honor by the employees of the Providence firm with which he had been identified, he was presented with a splendid bosom stud,-a shamrock with three diamonds weighing each one carat, the stem studded with diamonds and the leaves being of gold; pair of diamond sleeve buttons and a dia- mond collar button. At the second banquet Governor Davis of Rhode Island presided, and present were Lieutenant Governor Honey, Secretary of State E. D. McGuinness, Speaker of the House Corn, Hon. George J. West and many other leading men of the city. They presented MT. O'Reilly with $500 diamond ring. Such testimonials need no comment. | MT. O'Reilly, besides being so successful in his field of occupation, is an elocutionist o1 l merit, and will no doubt, when time and op- portunity concur, favor his friends here with some choice readings.

The whole was ons ! of the finest floral decorations of the entire ! season and reflected much credit upon the ! florist, MT. Dickerman.
