THE FEAST OF REASON.
When the coffee was brought on, DIR.
Gordon arose and called the company to
order
when I was elected president of the
honored. We occupy a position looking
to the advancement of the financial inter-
ests of our city. We are the embodiment
of the public opinion, and as such our re-
sponsibiiities are great We are Board
of Trade pei sc and not citizens asso-
c1ation. What we have done in the past
speaks for itself, and the future is be-
fore us"
DIR. Gordon then paid a warm tribute to
two OF the members of the Board who
have died since The last banquet-Augus-
rus A. HarGenDurgh and Peter Hender-
son. He welcomed the guests from sis
ter Boards OF Trade in a felicitous
manner, and then introduced the first
speaker, Mayor Cleveland, who respond
ed to the toast "JerSeV Civ ~
His Honor was extremely agitated and
complained that ne could not speak
against the walters, and those useful and
much abused individuals had to subside
before His Honor could proceed. Finally
he gained q measure of his habitUaI COM
posure and proceeded
"This Board represents the intelligence
and citizenship OF the city in which we
hve," he commenced. 1T is no longer a
question whether it is an honor to repre-
sent Jersey City. The time has passed
when it was reproacn to respond to Jer-
sey City 1t is time we claimed and de-
manded and occupied the position to
which we are entitled as the metropolitan
city of New Jersey. Very few other cities
have passed through the difficulties we
have. am glad to have the opportunity
to stand up for Jersey City. Sne has en-
tered upon a period of substantial pros
perity. The outside world is just aware

THE MAYOR APPOINTED THEM.
The Mayor referred to the fact that we
have now a new condition of affairs and
eulogized the Sinking Fund Commits
sioners and said it was many years since
we have paid portion of our debt with
out borrowing. He said that S400 900 was
coming due in April and May and we
have the money TO meet it. When the
Board of Sinking Fund Commissioners
is a year old it will have paid OF 81, lie, ,00O
without borrowing q cent to do it with.
Jersey City, he declared, was never more
prosperous than it is now aud he repeated
that it is no small honor TO be called upon
to respond to Jersey City.
He said Jersey City has future before
her which no one would believe il he
should predict it, The he spoke Of the
Improvements the Pennsylvania railroad
is about to make in this city, as he read
of them in The JERSEY CITY NEWS, and
declared that Jersey City is going to be
the greatest railroad centre In the world
