BANKERS At THE BEACH.
They Tumble in the SHTl, Eat Fish
and Drink White Seal.

The Savannah Bankers Entertain
Their Guests Royalty The Banquet
at the Hotel Tybee A Business
Mems Gathering The Toasts and
Speeches.
The banquet last night at the Hotel
Tybce was q most successful affair. The
menu served by Bohan, Cowan & Derby
was the best the culinary art could orr
ginate, the music by Cobb's orchestra
was magnificent and the after-dinner
speeches could not have been surpassed. 1t
was a feast Of reason and a flow of soul in
every sense of the word, and those whose
good fortune it was to attend will not soon
forget the events.
A Distinguishing feature of the dinner
was the air of business which pervaded
the dining room. The guests were at
tired IN business suits instead of full
dress. Finance, banking aud matters
commercial were discussed by the ban
queters between courses. An uninitiated
person would feel that he had met with
gathering of Wall street magnates.
The decorations were very tasty. The
chandeliers were trimmed with moss and
sprays of palmetto, and large palms deco
rated each end Of the room and were
tackled in the space between the windows
Each table held vase filled with roses
and ferns
At 8 o'clock the grand march was
played By Cobb's orchestra and the guests
filed in and took position at the tables,
which were arranged in the shape of a
diamond.

| company, the Chatham Artillery. The
| recollection of each visit will gladden.
my heart as long as memory holds a seat
within this distracted orb They dined
me and they wined me and they punched
me-and each morning thereafter pitch
| ers of ice water and sweet milk We're at
my beck and call. Then, too, have been
welcomed in your good city by another
not soldier, in the happy days gone by,
! you'd have known her by the mcrriment
| that sparkled in her eye Too in
nocent for cOquetry, too fond for
/ idle scOrning. All the same, l got
my walking papers on one bright Sunday
| morning Savannah and her people, from
early colonial times up to this happy
! hour, have always entertained in royal
style the visitor within her gates. Your
reputation for generous hospitality and
your captivating art of entertaining are
unsurpassed by any set of people in this or
any other country. You seem to dispense
with breathing courtesy and your welcome
is shown in other WAYS than words
/ Silver-tongued orators have sung YOUR
praises in thousand banquet halls |

! you have not oftentimes heard. but YOU
have given us drafts of pleasure on the
Bank of Hospitality payable to the order
