as large and quite as grand a building in
its way as the capitol. The site is an
elevation, the structure of native stone.
During a tour of the building the uses of

AN ELEGANT BANQUET.
Manager E. F. Patrick of the Pacific
Hotel company's Thornburg house, knows
bow to give a banquet. The big dining
hall was deliberately and most tastefully
decorated with mounted heads of wild
animals and flrs and was brilliantly
lighted. The tables were ornamented
with hot house plants. Two hours were
occupied at the board. The fare was per
haps the best for an occasion of the sort
ever provided in the territory. 1t was
served well toe. This stunning dinner
was Ito the governor and legislative as
sembly of Wyoming territory by the citi-
zens of Laramie"
Speaker Downey acted as POSTMASTER.
He said this was one of the pleasant
periods when flowers obscured the walls
of party differences and local pride. This
seemed the sentiment of all.
Governor Warren answered for wy
oming." He touched on this subject
briefly and then pleasantly recounted the
events of the day, laying particular stress
on the cordially of the entertainers and
saying that Laramie had excelled herself.
In calling President Beck of the coun-
Gil, Master Downey mentioned northern
Wyoming. The Young senior officer of
the assembly said he was timid of the
subject for the reason that pride of his
grand adopted home would cohstrain him
to sound its Beauties at length. A cheer
and a laugh followed Mr.. Beck's state
ment that the people of Laramie were
more hospitable, if possible, than the
people of Cheyenne"
Mr.. Adams made a round talk for the
house, saying that it was a body of quiet
and determined men who had resolved to
do their best. He subsequently qualified
the quiet part and said they proposed to,
if possible, give the people a pure ballot
box, and have one wholly honest election
before statehood hopes were realized.
Z. A. Slack of the Sun, was absent
when the press was toasted. Hon. N.
K. Griggs recited his poem, THE Biz
zard." This verse is an admirable SYM
phony OF wit, pathos, narrative and de.
scriptive.
The People of Wyoming" were
championed by j. q. Baird who described
them as they are, enumerated Wyoming's
and made confident reference to
her possibilities and hopes.
Mr.. Stotts begged TO be excused when
Crook county was toasted.
MIR Reel said he was proud of Laramie
county and had deep and abiding faith il
that subdivision of the territory, but
did not wish to be understood as think
ing it the only county.
President Beck offered the toast Our
Hosts and the Ladies. " to which Mr.. Bur
rift replied very happily, complimentinG
the people ofLaramie and especially the Ia
dies. These were the best in the land.
