Custodian Brcnner Feeds and Fattcns
the Lank aud Hungry Scribes.
Yesterday was feast day with tie
newspaper reporters. it being the occ-
sion of Custodian Brenner's annual
treat which is always anticipated with
pleasure, and experienced with joy.
At 8 O'Clock representatives OF the dill
ferent dailies IN response 10 an INVITA-
ton repaired to Mr.. Bremen 5 residence
on Ottawa-st. The reportoral crew
were at once conducted to private,
subte-ranean sanculm over which their
host holds unchallenged sway Here
they were seated around a long table,
heaped high with the choicest fuit of
the vine. Great clusters of golden green
Nlagara's pyramids OF purple is;bellas
ana Concords, and Delawares bluhing
n modest red because they were smaller
than the others, delighted the eyes of
the hungry horde. There was no reed
for an invitation to fall to. The steldy
PUNK: PUNK of the luscious pulp dlop-
ping into nine empty mows was like the
sound OF hailstOrm on 4 millpoad.
At the end of five minutes A..
ID. Greene's Suspenders burst
with q loud report; Lew Stuar's
waistband gave forth that ominous,
creaking SOUND that means an extern
sion or break and it WAS saved IN time.
When the swelling bosoms of the party
made necessary hauling back of Their
chairs Mr.. Brenner walked IN with q
rapturous smile and big pitcher.
The pitcher held some of the
choicest vintage ever tasted, fit to
set before . king. The capacity
of the visitors had been tested t.
the limit and there was 10 room left,
but they drank the VINE with a pleasure
that could not be expressed In words
and each one wondered how his com.
panions could do it. Even Burt Hall
n rank prohibitionist, gave long shifts OF
delight when the amber nectar passed
him by and John b. Mills hurried away
for fear good resolve taken years ago
might be strained beyond endurance.
Some choice cake and a.box of the
finest cigars topped of the feast and
then the generous host, who is some
thing of u poet, proposed toast of
three verses, the sentiments of which
were heartily applauded. The COM
pany departed, thinking with regret
how long 1t would be before another
such snap would roll around.
