COULDN'T SEE THE POINT
ONE OF JESSE GREGG'S JOKES
LOST BY THE WAY
He Did Not Know How to Spell
Queen LfliuOkalani's Name and
Left 1t BIank-Harry Black Was
Equally Unfortunate, and the
Menu Card of the Dayton Avenue
Church Mems Dinner Suffered.

When Jesse Gregg made up the copy
for the menu for the annual dinner
given by the men of Dayton avenue
church this year he did not know how
to spell Queen Liliuokalani's name, so
he left part Of the word blank, added
the word pride" the combination of
words meaning Sandwiches and
handed the copy to Harry Black in
structing him to spell out the whole
of the unfinished name.
Now it Is to be assumed that Mr.
Black was in the same state of ignor-
ance as had been Mr.. Gregg. At any
rate the word was not finished and the
copy went to the printer as it was and
the menus still read "Lilli Pride
which rather spoiled the affect of the
joke intended.
The dinner came off last night with
the usual success The tables were
handsomely arranged and laid, the
decorations being very beautiful. The
men planned and carried out all of the
details and the result was very salts
factory and the dinner not to be eX-
celled in any way.
Many of the hosts of last evening
were noticed at the pure food show
last week listening with interest to the
demonstrations, and the success of last
evenings menu was no doubt the di-
rect result. The menu cards were neat
ly printed and read as follows the
