THEY WERE WELCOMED.
After Joint discussion of the menu,
President Hazard welcomed the guests
of the evening in the following speech:
eff it were mine to command fitting
words of welcome to the one and con-
gratulations to the other, the scene
would lend the inspiration. Custom
demands that something be said. In
this, the third year of the boards life,
and at our first annual supper, on be-
half of the board l would welcome you,
as well as thank you for hOnOring us
with your presence. a glance will show
you that the fifty odd firms that make
up our board are more than middle
men or brokers. Your interests are ours,
ours yours.
eve are citizens and freeholders,
builders of no mean city; we believe in
I the law of sacrifice and its rewards as
much as that man who showed the first
corner lot III America, whether it were
Erickson or the Italian boy that the
queen of Spain fitted out, Columbus.
''We believe III a Supreme Ruler and
an all wise providence, hence men may
propose but He dispoSeS. -
Thus it was no mere chance that
Hennepen and his companions dined on
horse flesh at this place in the days of
yore, or that they did not have to use
corner stakes and witness trees, but our
caves and streams were marked that
would not decay; nor was it chance that
the red man made his headquarters
near here-the Rice lakes to our north
served their purposes.
You must not be surprised if some
question our supremacy, for many of

Father Hoton, Fords and others had
bigger town at Red Rock; Pigs Eye
boosted of her greatness, ST. Anthony
demanded the State university, Still

"These are only samples of men in all
the walks of life who have been slow to
learn that st. Paul was the seat of deS-

you in the name Of the men who say in
