The Banquet last night rendered
by the local Bar to the visiting Bar
was a fitting conclusion to the exer-
cises incidental to the reception to
The West Virginia Bar Association
who were their guests. The banquet
was held in the spacious dining
room OF the Wallace House. After
listening to the able address of Hon.
Seymour Thompson at Commence
ment Hall The Bar repaired to the
Wallace House to pass their opinion
ON the sumptuous spread provided
by Landlord Wallace The menu
set forth by Mine Host Wallace was
without doubt the finest placed be-
fore an organization Every delica
cy of the season was there. After
paying their respects to the elabor
ate bill of fare. The cigars were
lighted, genuine Nuns Extra Dry
was set before you and everybody
was ready to listen to the toats.
That Prince of Humorists, that
Lord Chesterfield, of West Virginia
Hon. B. Mason Amber was toast
master. We have read how Chaun-
cy M. Depew has excelled as a toast
master but we are satisfied with our
Mr.. Amber, ''our Chauncey." The
first to respond to toast was Judge
Holt in response to the toast THE
Wool Sack" Judge Holt was at
his best and his wit and pathos new
er appeared to greater advantage.
In answer to 1.-The Gates Ajar."
Judge johnson upheld the recent
decision commanding all candidates
for admission to practice in West
Virginia to be examined by the law
faculty of the West Virginia Univer-
sity. Judge Thompson, of St. Louis
our honored guest has great repu-
tation as ne plus ultra wit. Last
night he demonstrated fully that
reputation had not been injustly OBJ
tanned. He kept the entire assem-
bly, in constant roar Mr.. Hubbard
on ''The Lawyers last Appeal, and
Mr. Flurnoy on THE Justice of the
Peace responded in most appro-
pirate way. Mr.. j. W. Vandervort
was called on to discuss "Embarras-
sing Questions" In his even suave
manner he showed he had in his
time come in contact with some ex-
tremely embarrassing questions.
That polished orator of West Vir
ginia, Hon. c. Wood Daley respond
ed to The New Woman in a humor-
Gus way; he spoke intimating that if
The New Woman was different from
the Old Wowman he desired no
change Here he took occasion to
pay very eulogistic comment on
woman The grandest production of
God" Aston g. Dayton, our pres
ent congressman, spoke in his usual
vigorous style on 'When we get to
Congress- Prof Armstrong was the
last to respond to toast. In re-
Spouse to "The Man of Letters he
showed the advantage man of let
tiers had in adopting the law as his
profession.
Thus ended one of the most en-
joyable banquets ever held in No
gantown. Those present weres Hon.
