Mr. CHAIRMAN Ladies and Gentlemen;
When L was told sometime ago that
there was to be banquet here, and that
one of the toasts was to be the memories
OF the old National, and that probably
would be called upon to respond to that
toast. | said to myself, "Who cares about
the old National, and who cares about its
memories and "reminiscences 2" | remem-
Der that when 1t was said that the old
National, which had become shabby and
dlsreputable IN its appearance, was about
to be torn down and the new hotel put
in its place, all greeted the news with
pleasure.
Who cares about the old National?
Ladies and gentlemen, in looking over
lifetime, and going back. over genera
ton, and another in part, / have found
it was a vOluminOus thing; | found in
deed that there was more in 1t than |
could talk about, and more IN 1t than
even L knew. A younger generation
perhaps care nothing about it, and when
L look about tonight upon the bright
young faces at this banqueting hall, |
know that they have no "reminiscences of
it and care very little about it. But in
looking backward again, scenes and acts
and=liiets- anu faces -elnSter and gather
