MR.. BAYARp's DINNER.
The dinner which U. IS. Ambassa.
dor Bsynrd gave on Wednesday last
to the prince OF Wales, and which was
attended by u number of the most
prominent persons OF England, in.
Guiding the marquis Of Salisbury, was
great SUCCESS in all respects. The
prince OF Wales enjoyed himself groat.
Jy and was very appIeciRtive OF the
American dishes, especially the
branded peaches which are unkno wn
In EnglBnd. The assumption that the
prince OF Wales's acceptance OF Mr..
Bnyard's invitation was personal
tribute TO the present American am
bnssador is erroneous. The prince OF
Wales has often dined with previous
American ministers and also with
FORMER secretaries OF the American
legation. The fact that the prince aud
all the other EDRlishmen present wore
their orders alone showed that he con-
sldeIeu II an flical occasion and de-
sired to pay compliment to the
American nation.
This Is likewise shown by his toast

club, which included the best known
suthors anu newspaper writers, a few

persons were present, including Messrs.
Homty, FAijoooD, Christi.Murray,
Poultney BiSelow, and Lowe, editor
OF the st. James Gazette.
Replying 10 a toast the consul gem
eral made speech Of refreshing can
dor in which .he igood.na,uredly
criticised the English and praised
America. He said:
"You nave 80 much time at your
disposal as to be able TO devote much
of 1t to the regulation Of the affairs OF
other countries. You hold your meet
ings, appoint your committees and
denounce negro lynchings in Ameri.
oa; yet you kill more negroes monthly
in Africa than we have done in our
history"
Mr.. Collins also spoke strongly in
favor OF the arbitration treaty.
