IsTINGUIsHED GUESTS PRESENT

Beyond any doubt one of the most sue
cessful banquets ever given in this city
was that rendered last night to Rt. Rev.
Winand M. Wigger, D. D., Bishop of the
Roman Catholic Diocese of Newark, by
the st. Michaers Club. The speeches,
the arrangements, and above all the din
ner itself. were of the very best descrip-
tion and if anybody enjoyed himself
thoroughly it was the right reverend
gentleman in whose honor the club had
gathered a most distinguished company
of clergy and laity.
The banqueting hall was the theatre of
the cosy little club on Erie street, the
ceiling of which was skillfully and very
artistically decorated with soft colored
drapery, caught at the centre with an
American flag. The stage was bower
of plants, behind which was Holden's
orchestra, whose delightful music added
to the guests enjoyment. There were
three long tables and at the end near the
stage was that for the guest and the
clergy.
The Bishop arrived punctually at half
past seven O'Clock, escorted by City Clerk
M. ]. O'Donnell, Messrs. John J. Heavey,
NJ. f. Kelaher and Commissioner J. P.
Feeney, who met him at Hoboken. In the
reception room upstairs Rev Walter T.
Talon. president of the club, received the
Bishop and when the remainder of the
guests arrived the President led the way
to the banqueting hall Rev. Father Tai
