fornia.
The speeches were all brief, witty and
full of spirit, and the vivacity, wit and
humor of the hour. The manner in which
Mayor Gregory presided was very happy
and tull of wit. Indeed, the way the Mayor
handled the toast business developed him
as ready wit. One of the notable events
of the evening was the natural and easy
manner in which Miss Genevieve Green of
Colusa recited VIII Carleton's poem, THE
Country Editor"
The response of Mr. Green, who was for
hidden to speak of irrigation, was very
laughable, since he launched into irriga-
ton in the very first sentence of his re-
sponse and set the tables into roar.
One OF the wittiest and most enjoyable
OF the speeches was by Rufus Shoemaker
of Grass Valley.
Covers had been laid for one hundred
but only seventy-one were present, but it
was merry company, one in which cor
diality prevailed and sincere friendship
was manifest. 1t had been arranged that
the banquet should continue until mid
night, but the plan was pleasantly inter-
rupted. When the guests and hosts left
the Capital Hotel in body for the ban
quet room, word came that Mr.. David
Lubin wished the company to visit the
Play ground as early as 10 NJ. Accord.
ingly the toasts were cut down and the
speeches shortened, and as a result it was
brighter and much merrier.
At 1910 the Hussar Band, by politeness
of Weinstock, Lubin & Co. came to the
banquet hall, in Odd Fellows Temple.
Aud Lang SyDe" was sung and the com
a -, \ i
to the Pavilion. Arrived there, the Ar
tillery Band, that had arranged
serenade concert for the Press
Gang" played selections in honor of
the city's guests, and acknowledgements
were made for the compliment to leader
Neale. Mr.. Lubin was then introduced
and he called on President Chris Green, of
the Agricultural Society, TO respond, which
Mr.. Green did in felicitous manner. An
athletic exhibition was then given in the
tennis ground. After that the company
scattered over the grounds. Everywhere
games were opened to them, and ladies
and gentlemen engaged in tricycle. rid
ing, tenpiDs, etc, while servltors passed
about refreshments and ices with
profuse liberality, while the Hussar Band
played from their perch in the center
of the ground magical" A reception
was given in the Cinderella booth, and Mr..
Lubin and Mr.. Skeels did all that was pos
sible to entertain the guests until midnight,
when Home, Sweet Home" was played
and the last goodnight said. Everyone
voted the Playground reception one of the
most thoughtful and enjoyable events of
their lives-especially were the visitors
from abroad profuse in their praise Most
of the members of the Press Association
go home to-day, but some remain over,
and some vow they will return next
week and bring all the people of their
counties they possibly can.
