HOTEL MEN AT DINNER.
ENJOYING THEMSELVES AT DELMoNIco's
SPEECHES AND eoNos-soME OF THE MEN WHO

SPEECHES AND SoNos-soME OF THE MEN "Ho
WERE PRESENT
Ten years ago the members of the Hotel Asso-
citation thought that they as well as other ASST
Citations might have dinner every year. Ihey
have had that dinner ten times since, the latest
one being that of last evening at Delmonlcos.
The hotel men are more than ordinarily hospltaole
on such occasions, so that nobody wondered on
finding that majority Of those who sat down TO
eat were not hotel men at all but people Ior
whose tickets hotel men had paid The speeches.
were informal but the dinner was by no means In
formal; indeed, many Of the hotel men who sat
down insisted, with becoming modesty, that tney
had crowded the Chamber Of Commerce people
and the New-England Society people out oil che
race for first place in annual entertainments
Of this kind Secretary w. d. Garrison with
smile and nod of recognition for almost every
body, said that Delmonico had been warned
to have larger dinner-room next year, De
cause" he added, there were fifty persons VINO
wanted tickets this time who could not geO Vnem
because there was no room" The orehes1a was
more than usually evanescent. but the uners ni"uo
up for this by singing in chorus long peiore
the speechmaking had begun, something "in0n
was much like Republican campaign song ouO
wanted the word Grover instead OF MaSsa 10
make it completely 50, the first line being Town
in the cornneld," ETC., etc. u. IL. Merrineio' VI
