CHIEF Justice Judd Gives a Dinner to
the Members of the Bar OF the
Supreme Court.
The dinner given yesterday evening
at the Hamilton House by the Chief
Justice to the members of the bar, was
shining success and deserves to mark an
epoch in the relations of the bench and
bar OF this country. The banquet was
delight to the epicure, even to the French
OF the exquisitely printed menu, and
does equal honor to the generosity OF the
host and the art of the caterer.
The north wall of the spacious dining
hall was draped with the flag of Hawaii,
festooned with wreaths OF that sweet sug-
gester OF the wood, the fragrant MALE,
while over the entrance door appropri-
ately hung the flag of the great Republic
which as the Chief Justice eloquently
said, is our nearest neighbor and truest
friend, from which our law is chiefly
drawn. Ferns and roses decorated the
tables, not to speak OF the stately pyra
midS of macaroOns, later reduced to con-
venient ruins.
The places OF honor to the right and
left of the Chief Justice were occupied by
Judge Widemann, the Oldest member of
the Hawaiian bar, and by Judge Deadly,
our distinguished visitor of the United
States District Court OF Oregon. The two
ends of the double table were properly
presided over by Judge McCully and
Judge Bickerton, who assisted in the
feast of reason which naturally accom-
panied the discussion OF the viands. Mr..
Berger too, lent with his seductive
strains, final charm to an occasion
which wanted nothing else to make it
perfect (unless we except the oysters,
which were on the Australia just outside
the bar, languishing to be eaten.)
When the last delicacies which two
zones could furnish had been lingeringly
disposed of and everyone was satisfied,
but none too full for utterance, there was
the usual flow of soul, though no corks
were drawn.
Judge Widemann spoke appreciatively
of the bar OF forty years ago, when most
of US were not born.
Judge Deadly in a speech which was
only too short, drew an interesting par
allel between the social and political
situations and development OF Oregon
and these Islands in their earlier days,
and said a number of things very flatter-
ing to the pride of the kamaaina
Judge McCully referred most interest
ingly and instructively to the early
Judges OF our Supreme Court, men who
like Judge Lee did so much to determine
the development of jurisprudence in this
country.
Further speeches were made by Messrs.
w. r. Castle, w. A. Kinney, A. Rosa,
j. NJ. Davidson, His Elk. L. A. Thurston,
&. l.. Carter and others, and the guests
finally parted at late hour.
Such occasions tend to develop re-
lations OF cordial intimacy and
mutual support, between the bench
and the member of the bar Every
member of the bar who partook of
the hospitality of the Chief JUS
tice last night, feels that this banquet is
a token of the good feeling which already
exists, and that it will strengthen and
increase it.
