Our British American friends exhibited
their devotion to her majesty, Queen Vic
toria, on Wednesday evening in manner
that clearly proved that they still have a
warm spot for the place of their nativity
and the ruler who has just completed the
Goth year of her reign. Some SO covers
were laid in the banquet hall annex to the
opera house, and at the feast several gen.
tlemen not to the manor born were among
the guests. The list of participants in
cluded Messrs. Sol Luna, Bernard s. Ro-
dey, B. f. Adams, Rev. Frederick 7. Ben
nett. 9. +. Waugh, manager of Gross,
Blackwell & Co., Montague Stevens of
Magdalena, j. j. Alsop and Frank Smith
of New York, DR.. W. g. Hope, DR. l.. Il.
Chamberlin, Wallace Hesselden, H. j..
Emerson, Jesus M. Garcia publisher of
Ell Nuevo Mundo, DR.. E. W. Spencer, edi-
tor and publisher Weekly News, Mine
Host G. P. Owen and VIM. Mcintosh.
Toast Master Thomas X. Culley an
nounced the toasts as follows "Her
Majesty, the Queen" responded to by
Rev. F. 7. Bennett "The President" re-
sponded to by Ralph E. Twitchell;
"Amerlca," responded to by b. s. Rodey;

American Flag" responded to by DR.. W.
G. Hope; "Absent Friends" responded to
by T. Vann; "The ladies'" responded to

There were songs galore, in the main of
English and Scotch construction. and, as
to stories, Twtchell and Rodey were
hosts in themselves, though others told
some good anecdotes. Taking the affair
as whole it was one of the jolliest gath
eriugs ever assembled in Albuquerque.
