pitch into the chicken. pie. pudding. cake,
fruit. nuts, candy and maple sugar cakes.
Some Toasted until they were almost sick.
while with others the effect of the viands
was seemingly TO intoxicate them and
they romped and played till they threat
ened 70 shake the very building down.
They seemed TO be as happy as the Puget
sowuI elan, bfrh The
lists certainly did themselves great credit.
They said there were not so many little
folk present as there were last Christmas
and New Years. when they gave the chill
dren banquets. Then the attendance was
between 400 and 500.

plenteous feast of turkey, chicken, pies.
cake and fruit. under the weight of which
the legs of the table threatened TO give
way. Before eating, Gods bless
ing was invoked, and during the
progress of the dinner Praise God From
Whom All Blessings Flow" and other
music was rendered oy The choir. As fast
as the feasters finished they were replaced
by Others until 202 had pariaken of din
ner. The men who partook of the dinner
were hearty, rugged-looking men. and that
they were hungry was evidenced by the
way in which they cleared the plates of
food, which was unsparingly set before
them. When all who desired had partaken
of the feast there was not enough of the
remnants left to till a grape basket. 1t
