BRooKlYy LAWYERS DINE.
The Rev. RTr. Behrcnds m on Justice
Pntterson's Views OF the Bnr.


Patterson's Views OF tho bar.
The annual reunion of tho Brooklyn Bar
Association took place last night at the
Pouch Gallery, 345 Clinton avenue, Brooklyn.
District Attorney.elect Josiah T. Maroan pre-
sided, and among those present were Surrogate
Abbott, Corporation Counsel Burr, Assistant
Corporation Counsel Cooke, Murat Halstead,
and Supreme Court Justices Bartlett. Brown,
Cullen. Dickey, Dykman. Goodrich. Garretson,
Maddox. and Van wyck.
The Rev. A. j F. Bchrends. responding to the
toast The Clergy" said In part:
II noticed in a morning paper to-day that
Justice Patterson of New York, in addressing a
meeting Of lawyers last night, said that out of
the 10000 member OF the bar hereabouts
there were only two or three great lawyers.
He said, Furthermore, that the really great
lawyer Is disappearing, and am inclined to
think that, despite the sweeping nature OF his
assertion. there must be some fire where there
is 30 much smoke. This deGeneracy Of which
Justice Patterson spoke Is not charac.
teristic. of one profession. but of all
professions. and even extends to labor and
the trades. Men enter the various avenues of
trade for the purpose of making q living. They
have no higher ambitions. and the natural re-
suit Is that they become the slaves of routine
instead Of the masters OF their professions.'
