The Social Event of the Season--Per-
sonaI and Other Matters.


The first annual banquet of the Tay-
lor board of trade, which was held in
it's rooms in the Price Library hall,
on Wednesday, was one Of the grandest
social events ever held in this borough.
Almost the entire membership was
present, and as each member was al
lowed to bring but one male friend,
the hall was comfortably filed. The
whole scene was both charming and
impressive, and the happy, smiling
faces of the members and their friends
made a picture of beauty and happi-
ness to be remembered. The board of
trade is deserving of credit in bringing
about such an affair as was conducted
on Wednesday evening. Our board of
trade is made of good material, and of
the finest quality. At 915 o'clock, af-
ter all were seated, Frederick Martin
and his staff of walters served the fol-
lowing repast: Board of Trade bus
