The newspaper men who dined were
Messrs. ]. P. Matthews. editor of the
Cumberland Neacs :: N. E. Foard, State
editor of the Baltimore Sun ; G. T.
Porter, representing the Baltimore
Herald, and the JOURNAL-in It's dual
individuality as citizen and great paper.
The carriages were taken for Eek
hart, some oia Hoffman mine, where a
special soon placed the party in Cum
berand.
AT s p. m. about 200 gentlemen. IN
vited by Gov. Lowndes, assembled to
meet Prof. Geikie at the residence of
Mrs. Roman. Each was presented to
the distinguished gentleman by the
governor in words which did not fail
in each case to do honor to the par
ticular merit and distinction of the
individual.
After Duncan Sinclair, the pc lished
representative of the New Central Coal
company, thoughtfully whispered of
refreshments in an apartment hard by,
the JOURNAL repaired thither. Miss
Roman, with inimitable grace, passed
a liberal portion of one of the daintes :;
then, with Drs. Porter, of Homecoming,
and Hooking, of Mt. Savage, the
health of the governor and the house
hold was signalized and invoked in a
draught from a 'pentagonal" COM
posite of ambrosial relishes technically
denominated 'claret punch" the pretty
bride of R. T. Lowndes presiding.
With the evening closed a day of
real pleasure.
PERSONAL.
Mr.. Lord is hale specimen of bust
ness manhood who, outside the routine
of conducting great business, knows
how to provide for the entertainment
of his guests. 1t must not be forgotten
that in Messrs. l.. M. Hamilton and B..
S. Randolph he has efficient and taste
full assistance.
Prof. Geikie spoke generously of
both the miners and mines of the re-
gion. More general intelligence
among the men and more systematic
operations he has never seen. 1.-The
region is one." said he, "that would
be of growing interest to me could |
stay longer"
N. e. Foard, of the staff of the
Baltimore Sun. a familiar figure on
State and popular occasions, was in
the party. He is genial co-worker
among his immediate competitors, a
liberal sympathizer with the county
press, and with both the people and the
powers popular news-gatherer.
The governors sons, Richard T. and
Charles T., extended the honors of
gubernatorlal hospitality with assidu-
Gus concern for the welfare of each.
No guest escaped.
NOTES.
The testimonies to the excellence of
the Gladstone dinner were unanimous
ly complimentary. Writing to his
