Judge widney's Banquet.
Judge A. M. Widney, president of the
University bank, gave a banquet to the
bankers of the Clearing House associa-
tion on Friday evening, at the West
minister. The table was beautifully dec
GRATED; the menu elaborate, the SER
vice excellent.
Judge Widney occupied the head of
the table, E. F. Spence, president of the
First National bank, opposite, and the
other guests distributed to the right and
left Of their portly forms. Invitations
had been extended to two representa-
tives from each bank, member of the
Clearing house. Although few gen.
tlemen were unable to respond the table
was well surrounded by the following
guests:
H. W. Hellman, vice-president of the
Farmers and Merchants bank; L. N.
Breed, president, and VIM. G. Bosby-
shell vice-president, Southern California
National bank; A. D. Childress, Presi-
dent City bank; John Miner, cashier
Farmers and Merchants bank George
H. Stewart, ,9cashier Los Angeles County
bank; George L. Arnold, cashier Uni
versity bank; j. M. Wilmer, assistant
cashier California bank; Hervey Lind
ley and d. G.. Miltimore, directors re-
spectively OF the California and Uniyer-
sity banks.
The menu was carefully and effectu-
ally discussed for two hours, when an
adjournment was taken to the parlors
of the hotel. Wit and wisdom then
flowed in ceaseless stream until late
hour. Various matters of interest to
the association were discussed infor-
mally, and the prevailing opinion
seemed to be that long session, under
such auspices, was not only endurable
but positively acceptable. This new
departure inaugurated by Judge Wild
ney will likely result in frequent gath
erings of the clearing house bankers for
social as well as business purposes.
The Masac Musicale.
The musicale given at Bellevue Ter
race by Mrs. T. Masac on Friday even
ing, was in every way brilliant success.
Prof. Arevalo is too well known to re-
quire much comment. He charmed his
audience in his usual mastery manner.
Mr.. limerick, recently from Brooklyn,
N. T., delighted everybody with his
magnificent baritone voice, and his rem
dition OF two of Dudley Bucks songs,
charming little ballad "Supposing,"
composed by J. Faur, of this city. Mrs.
Masac will hardly need much praise
when once listened to by critical audi
ence. Her music was surprise and
rare pleasure to all who listened to her
for the first time. Her name hitherto
unknown to Los Angeles audience will
be recognized hereafter as that of one
whose acknowledged genius and skill
ranks her among first-class artists. Mr.
Harry and Maud Masac played very
pretty banjo duet, and in response to an
encore, performed q cute little trick
piece. Mrs. Taggart and Miss Quincy,
pupils of Prof. Arevalo, acquitted them
selves with great credit in guitar duet.
The music hall was filled to it's utmost
limit by an appreciative and select audi
ence.
A Birthday Party.
A pleasant surprise party was given
Mr.. Will Connor at his home on Beau
dry street, on Monday night, the occa-
sion being the twenty seventh anni-
versary of his birthday. An interesting
game Of progressive euchre was followed
by an elegant spread prepared by Mrs.
Connor. One of the pleasant incidents
4of the evening was an impromptu ad-
@dress by w. A. Ryan. The party en-
joyed themselves until late hour, and
departed wishing for Mr.. Connor many
happy returns of the occasion. Among
those present were Miss Olive May Per-
-cival, the Misses Winnie and Nellie
Connor, Miss Nellie Mead, Mr.. and Mrs.
Torrey, Messrs. Longyear, w. A. Ryan,
