The dinner was one of the best of shore dinners and was discussed fully by the gentlemen present, after which Max Adler, toastmaster of the evening, arose and called upon eX- Judge Callahan for song. Judge Cal lahan responded and sang for the en- tertainment of the guests the song T Want Yer Ma Honey" made famous by Fay Templeton. Judge Callahan was followed by w. F. Stahl, who spoke in a happy vein, recalling events Of interest in the history of our country. The next most felicitous speaker called upon was Gen. George H.

 Our city, one of the oldest of the great nation, towering above all others in importance as combining city of learning and city of industries, pie turesque in location, a city of shaded elms and academic walks, skirted by a magnificent coast and backed by rug ged cliffs and elevations that may per haps remind some of you of your own home and country.
 "A city, founded by earnest men who less that three centuries ago crossed the Atlantic to establish new home iii savage wilds.
 Here, where many men of world wide fame have dwelt and where have lived great discoverers, great inven- tors, great thinkers and scholars; man. ufacturers and merchants whose names have shed lustre on the pages of the worlds history.
 I've have welcomed you In true spirit of hospitality, jealous for the highest and best interests of all, earn estly desiring that this visit may re- suit in closer bonds of union, bus- ness and brotherhood.

And when you return to your southern homes may every southern breeze that plays along our border line bring back to us the fragrance of your friendship and every wave that breaks upon the sand of either shore, east or west, from Alaska to Cape Horn, whisper to each of us the sweet words, American, North and South, echoing back and forth friendship and fraternity"
 Among the other speakers of the eve- ming who made brief remarks were Messrs. Price, General E. E. Bradley, Senor Delfinos of Caracas, and Mayor Farnsworth.
