CRowrED AND EVERYBODY HAS
GOOD TIME
The Montauk Club gave its annual dinner to
Chauncey NJ. Depew last evening, it being DR..
Depew's birthday. The thermometer was doing
its best to ooze out OF the top of the tube, but
the twofold inducement Of hearing Mr.. Depew
and of partaking Of one Of the famous dinners
prepared by the Montauks steward brought out
a crowd which filled the main banquet hall and
overlooked into the Jolly room" above.
The guest CT honor was seated between
Charles A. Moore, the president Of the Montauk
Club and General Stewart L. Woodford presi-
dent of the Union League Club, of Brooklyn.
Whether not Mr.. Depew and Mr.. Moore
touched upon political topics in their converse
ton during the dinner no one else knows. Mr..
Moore Is of the most energetic and en-
thusiastic supporters of Major Mckinley for the
Presidency.
