The l2Sd annual banquet of the Chamber Of
Commerce of the State Of New-York was held last
night at Delmonicos. This is always one Of the
first dinners of the season which comprises many
delightful social gatherings in the metropolis. The
aSsemblage last night was characterized by larger
numbers than have ever heretofore met on like
occasions, $50 covers being laid for members and
guests. The banquet hail was almost free OF dec
oration, though there was q profusion OF flowers.
especially of roses, and these were the cholcest
that the season could supply. Simplicity and
good taste prevailed and the general good-fellow-
ship was marked.
At 80 O'Clock the company moved IN pro-
cession to the large banquet-hall, the orchestra
playing appropriate music in the gallery above
the entrance. Charles S. Smith, president OF the
Chamber of Commerce, with Secretary Of the
Treasury Charles Foster, led the way. Mr.
Smith occupied the Presidents seat at the table OF
honor. with Secretary Foster on his right. Others
at the same table were Chauncey NJ. Depew, Bishop
II. C. Potter, Samuel ID. Babcock, David NJ. Stone.
