Events of Saturday in the City on
the ST. CroiX.

One of the most enjoyable events Of
the past week was the banquet and re-
union of the Last Mans club, an organ
izatlon composed of survivors of Com
pany b, of the FIRST Minnesota. The
first meeting of the club was held July
q, 1855, and at that time the member
ship numbered twenty-five. Four of
the original members have died, and
many are absent from the city, and this
alone accounts for the small at
tendance at Friday evenings BAN
quet, when only eleven were pres
ent. Those present were: Myron
Shepard. Adam Marty. A: c. Hospes,
Samuel Boomer, +. l.. McKdSick, John
S. May, Ii. McImtlre and Andrew Peter
son, of Saltwater: Joseph A. Tenner,
of st, Paul; George A. McNeal, of Min
neapOliS, and Jacob GruSeman, of HOul-
ton, Wis. The bottle of VINE presented
to the club, which the last survivor will
sup in silence. occupied G prominent
position on The table, and at the close
or the gathering was again placed in
the vault in one of the local banks. The
next reunion will be held at the Sawyer
house i'll this city, July %, 1894. The
date of meeting was changed because
the 2lSt comes on Saturday meXt year.
and many of the members stated that
that day.
Some months ago the St. Louis Car
