SPEECHES THAT WERE MADE.
THE MENU.
The Builders Exchange auspiciously
completed it's efforts for the year '96
with a dinner at Eden Hall last night.
is was n business mems gath
ering, and nearly all branches of trade
carried on in Wilmington were repre-
sented. Some of the men present ct the
dinner last year were not among those
who gathered about the board last
night, and this was the only cloud to
darken this bright event. In the midst
of their pleasures the living paused to
pay a deserved tribute to the dead for
the good work that they had done.
The program as arranged was car
ried out to the letter and was much en-
joyed. About 8 o'clock the guests ar
rived, and after cigars had been passed
around a social chat was INDUCED in.
George II. Mccall, chairman of arrange
ments, then announced that the fes-
tive boards awaited the members and
guests" A procession was formed led
by George II. Mccall and Hugh G.
Browne William S. Hilles and Mayor
c. r. Jefferis, Bishop Coleman and Will
liam II. Foulk and the guests followed.
AS the procession entered the ban
quet room an orchestra played Sousa's s
king Cotton" march. After the guests
were arranged at their RESPECTIVE
places Bishop Coleman offered prayer.
THE BANQUET SCENE.
The dinner was served in the large
banquet hall, which was converted into
a scene of beauty. The tables were
tastefully decorated, and a pyramid of
palms adorned the platform screening
the orchestra from view. The occasion
was an enjoyable one, and will be long
remembered by those so fortunate as to
be present.
The bill Of fare was a tempting one
admirably served, and was as follows:
