NET THE VICE PRESIDENT.
Enjoyable Gathering at the Country
Home of Brainard ii. Warner.

Mr. B. H. Warner entertained Vice Pres
ident Stevenson last night at his handsome
country residence in kensington, Nd. and
invited to meet him many OF the prominent
farmers and politicians of Montgomery
county. Only few sent their regrets, and
consequently nearly four hundred persons
enjoyed Mr. Warmers cordial hospitality.
and were regretful when the time came for
their departure The invitations were con-
fined to gentlemen of the county, as Mr..
and Mrs Warner desired to present as
many leading citizens as possible to the
Vice President, and for lack Of room they
were therefore compelled to invite only the
ladies OF Kensington.
The guests arrived at the house through
the lawn. which was softly illuminated with
long lines of Chinese lanterns. and were re-
ceived on the piazza by Mr. and Mrs. War
ner and introduced to Vice President Stew
enson. who stood near the entrance to the
reception hall. When everybody had been
made acquainted with every one else, the
broad porches and cool apartments were
taken possession of by many lotteries of
congenial spirits. who later on enjoyed a
delightful collation.. string orchestra dis
coursed music during the evening.
