TIE BOSTON'S EMPLOYEES.
A Great Crowd Thronged Teutonia
Hall and All Went Merrily.

The Boston Employees Association held
its opening reception last evening in Teu-
tonia Hail. The association is composed
exclusively of the employees of the Bos-
ton Clothing House, one of the largest
sey City can boast. Hundreds OF en-
ployes with their friends thronged the
pretty hall last evening and danced and
teasted in royal manner.
A badge of honor graced the lapel of the
dress coat of Mr. Gustav Metzler, the
suave and ioviaI manager of the great
store, who, with Mrs. Metzler, joined
heartily in the pleasures of the evening.
His handsome and able assistant Mr.. j.
+. Bernstein, the treasurer of the assOci-
alton, actively participated and in various
ways contributed to the success of the
evenings entertainment.
At the banquet served at midnight Mr..
Metzler occupied the seat of honor at one
of the several large tables and Mr.. Bern
stein occupied the corresponding place at
the other. The proprietor of the Teutonia
loaded the long tables with a first rate
spread.
At the conclusion of the banquet Man
ager Metzler arose, and with the remark,
''T he Boston loses no time in getting
there" invited the guests TO drink to the
he alth of the association. This was fol-
10 wed by few very appropriate remarks
in reference to the good feeling existing
between the firm and its employees. He
made some very hattering remarks about
Mr.. Bernstein. That gentleman, as
master of ceremonies, followed Mr. Metz
ler, and he very modestly attempted to
shift the responsibility for the success of
the Boston and its Employees Associa-
tt on upon somebody else. He said the
credit belonged equally to every member
of the association.
b. j.. Cropsey was called upon to pledge
toast, but he asked to be excused on the
gtound that he was too busy.
When Mr. John G. Walsh arose in re-
sponse to call from the master of cere-
monies, some one said, "Up goes Nc
Glnty;" but McGinty didn't go down till
he had put all the guests into excellent
| humor with his quaint drollery.
Mr.. T. Wing, the Boston's good looking
| floor manager, and several other gentle
men outside the association said many
good things about the Boston, after which
| the guests adjourned to the ball room,
| where dancing was resumed and several
hours sped merrily away.
