THERE WERE WITTY SPEECHES, SONGS AND A
GENERAL GOOD TIME-MEN WHO
WERE PRESENT
II is said that the First Panel Sherif's Jury
annual dinner brings more good fellows together
than nny similar celebration. This Is. Mt any
rate. universally conceded by the members OF the
First Panel themselves. who applauded their
charming chairman and able foreman. ]. Seaver
Page, last night. when nc told them in Del
monico's biz dIning-room that they were as
handsome looking lot OF men as ever met there.
Some members of the Second Panel had been al
lowed to mingle with the elect by courtesy or
misadyenture but their disappfobation if cx-
uressed. was lost In the tumult OF the general
r,ioicine. They will have their say by and by.
No matter what they win make OF it. however,
10 would be hard to imagine q jollier company
than the First Panel when it met TO cast aside
the cares of business and the remembrance
of the responsibilities of their iurorships for
few hours, and. in the language rendered CLASH
eal by an anecdotc that Congressman John ).
