tance-Names Of some Of Those
In Attendance.

Last night the medical profession OF
Richmond crowned themselves with glory
In an entertainment given at the Masonic
Temple in honor OF the prominent visiting
physicians and surgeons. The twenty
fifth annual session OF the Virginia Medi-
cal Society has been attended with com
plete success. but the reception at the
Temple was the great feature of the
whole.
The foyer. the grand banquet hall, the
Grand I.odge-room, and the entire build
ing at the corner Of Adams and Broad
streets were arrayed In festive attire for
the coming OF the distinguished visitors
who were to be entertained there during
the evening Voelker's Band dlscoursed
the most delightful strains during the
night. and these were augmented by the
soul-touchIng song Of the Imperial Quar-
tette. the music OF which has been heard
In many OF the more fashionable events
of Richmond during the past few sea-
sons.
The Temple was decorated with exqu-
site taste and care. Palms. ferns. and
potted plants and chrysanthemums played
conspicuous parts in the brilliant effect
produced.
A DELIGHTFUL SUPPER
In the banquet hall the supper was
given. Two large tables, arranged as
n cross, laden with the most delicate and
toothsome yiands. greeted the eye. The
annex to this apartment contained the
li1uid refreshments. The menu embraced
tatlaf \ f.u To-
ful. and it was rellshed with such de-
lirht as could only have been experienced
hy an assemblage slightly tnged by
hunger.
When the evening meal was over the
beds of ferns and yellow chrysanthemums
were soon torn TO pieces, and their most
beautiful specimens adorned the lace OF
ladies' GOWNS and the lapels OF gentle
mems full-dress coats.
