club dinner the other day made the dis
covery that Governor Roswell P Flower
is determined to confine his sociaDility to
Albany for the present. He has so many
invitations to attend dinners all over the
state that he has made up his mind not to
lay himself open to the charge of Partially.
He will go to dinners and receptions in
Albany, but he will not fan the embers OF
hilarity with the wing of friendship, as
Dick Swivellsr might say, outside the
limits of old Fort Orange. In this conces-
