THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Judge Harden announced that owing to
the sudden serious illness of Hon. Pope
Barrow Youngest child it was impossible
for him to be present and responded to the
toast of the United States of America.
This made it necessary to
find another speaker and after
arriving at the banquet hall he had
persuaded Rev. c. H. Strong to respond
to the toast Mr., Strong was greeted
with hearty applause. His response was
pleasing and entertaining. 1t was in a
bright and witty tone, and was thor
oughly en- Dyed.
Nh. Strong spoke of the development of
the American character and its growth
in honor and strength, improving upon
the ancient ideas Of feudal Europe and
producing a better and purer quality of
manhood than was known to the countries
Of the old world. His allusion to the
prompt defense of American honor by
admiral Benham in Brazilian waters
attracted great applause. The future
type of American manhood, Mr.. Strong
said, will be a combination of the pluck
and perseverance of the north and the
sense Of honor and the delicacy of the
south. Mr.. Strong received quite an
ovation at the close of his address.
The music which followed was Hail,
