ceremonies, which were ably conducted
by the outgoing President, B. f Megtn
ley, Esq, the members,repaired to their
homes and in short time accompanied
by their wives and few invited guests
appeared at Filaseca's elegant Ladies
Saloon, which had been artistiealIy de-
corated for the occasion, and where a
sumptuous repast, prepared in that re-
nowned caterers best style, was spread
before them. Many toasts were drank,
the flow of wine keeping pace with the
''feast of reason and flow of SOUL" and
all went "merry as q marriage bell'
Comrade Laurent Dupr6 acted as toast
master and master of ceremonies as
well, and being in one of his happiest
moods, he acquitted himself with ready
wit and exquisite tact of his dual func-
tions. Our venerable friend, Mr.. c.
Mornhinveg, who as member of old
Fire Co No. |, F'run with the machine
over half a century ago, was an honor
ed guest, aud was the recipient of many
kindly attentions which no doubt
warmed the cookies of his heartn and
caused il to swell with honest pride.
The ladies, whose fair faces and
bright eyes outshone e'en the sparkling
wit which radiated from every side OF
the festal board, of course came in for
their due share of attention, and doubt
less enjoyed the occasion as keenly as
the gallant g fire boys" who were SO
happily inspired as to provide this
pleasant method of recreation and re-
taxation, As to the snpper we have
said that it was sumptnous, being pre-
pared in Vilaseca's best style. That is
sufficient. When Viiaseca does his best
he can't be excelled. s-..1
