yIELE AND OTHERS.
Tia sixth annual dinner of the Holland Society Of
vYork was one Of Its greatest and its most un-
.o,tunate The demand for seats at the tables has
,orased year by year. and last evening the manage
n.nt sought to meet 1t by engaging the Lenox Lyceum
tor a dining hall, where not only all the members ana
.,.sts of the society were accommodated. but
srant array Of the ladies Of their families scnated
IN The boxes. The result was not happy. 1t was
Glorious gathering, and the Holland Society never
had more occasion for shouting "oranje boven'
aorauec on top" far the comestble part of
TIA dinner was concerned. Fine speeches, however,
cere wasted echong air. Never had men more oc-
.as,on 10 curse Millions sweet echo sweetest nymph"
and to wish that she would retire within her "aery
shell. and stay there. The Lenox Lyceum may be
an excellent hail. but for public speaking its
acoustic qualities are bad When Robert b. Roosevelt,
The president of the society had delivered his address
NJ welcome In what, for all practical purposes,
dumb show, General Egbert l.. Viele and asked
the people at the tables and in the boxes to refrain
