The annual banquet Of the Sacramento
Contractors and Builders Association
was held Saturday evening at the Restau-
rant de France, and, as usual, was a
brilliant affair.
Nearly hundred persons sat down to
the banquet board. The viands served
were the best the market afforded, and
the big semi-circular table was literally
loaded down with them.
Two hours were consumed in eating,
and then President SiIas Carrie called for
order. He said it had been year since
they had had the pleasure OF enjoying
each others company at the banquet
table. Since then, he was happy 10 say,
there had been few OF the association
called hence, and in looking around him
he observed nearly all the old faces, with
good sprinkling Of new ones. The assO-
citation, he said, was in sound condition,
and every day its usefulness, both to the
members and TO those with whom it
came in contact, was becoming more and
more apparent.
Chairman Carle then called upon
James Seadler TO respond To the toast,
