 After an excellent dinner''had been served by Caterer J.fW. Stewart the Hon. N. D. Sperry, president of the chamber of commerce, introduced James D. Dewell as the toastmaster of the evening with few appropriate re- marks. He said: This Is the one hun dred and first anniversary of the New Haven chamber of commerce. Since it has been organized 1t has done much for the city. I think that our record will at the present time stand equal with that of any other city of the land. But I give way to others and there fore turn the whole meeting over to your distinguished ex-president, James D. Dewell, who will act as the toast master of the evening" ass
 MT. Dewell said: "Tbe chamber of commerce has done me many .honors, but never a greater one than asking me to preside tonight over this banquet. To use the language, I love not only New Haven, but the New Haven cham Der of commerce, am reminded that the chamber of commerce of New York, older than this by two degrees, ban quoted last night. The first toast was '.The President of the United States, They rose and drank to that toast while the band played '-The Star Spangled Banner" But we have one with us to- night who Is especially well fitted to re- spond to that toast. He has come to be one of us. introduce to you as Q
