LOVING CUP FOR GUEST OF HONOR

graved and chased in an artistic manner
There was said to be no political sig
nificance in the dinner although nearly
! two hundred Democrats and two or three
Republicans sat down at the board. LII
4 was. as Colonel John Grimes, who pre-
sided, put it,
Merely to show our regard for Teddy.
1t was a remarkable outpouring OF the
Horseshoe, and it is safe to sayst that a
more harmonious dinner never took place
in this CITY, Politics were tabooed, and
to spare the feelings of the handful OF
Republicans present not even the ap-
preaching visit of the Gledhill committee
was alluded TO.

the guests The genial Warden of the
Penitentiary, Colonel John Grimes, sat in
the centre of the cross table. On his right
was the guest of the evening, Assembly
man Carroll. To the left was ex-County

Gentlemen" said President. Grimes,
tapping on a champagne glass for oraer
after cigars had been lighted and petlts
eerres served, "this gathering has no po-
itical significance whatsoever; 1t is SIM
ply a gathering of friends and neighbors,
and 1 ask that no allusion shall be made
TO politics whatever. loud applause)
And furthermore, shall ask those whom
/ call on for speech to make 1T brief, SO
that we can get through our very long
programme am now going to ask you
to listen to a few words from our good
friend, Mayor Fagan.'
The Chief Magistrate of Hoboken re-
ceiyed an uproarious welcome, and it was
several minutes before he was allowed to
proceed He had no idea, he said. that he
would be called upon, particularly as ne
respect for his friend TEDDY" he said,
amid cheers, compelled him to say a few
words. He was glad to represent hobo
ken.
1--WE have had differences. gentlemen, in
the Democratic party, but | hope that
we will have always leader whom we
can regard as an honorable and upright
gentleman" cloud cheering.)
City Clerk ODonnell came next and he
made q very humorous speech, praislng
the guest of the evening and winding up
with hope that the dinner, like that of
asst night, should be oftener repeated.
Commissioner John D. German was
he next speaker and, carefully conceal
ing behind him the loving cup, he began
speech directed at Mr. Carroll. Mr..
German spoke eloquently and his speech
was punctuated with applause. 1t was a.
delightful function, he said. to have to
oay a tribute to friend at gathering
where politics were entirely eliminated.
.sThe sentiment which pervades US all
is that ours and Teddy CarrolPs friendship
Is not the friendship which smiles with
gn,1 when the world smiles with you,' said
Mr. Gorman "His is not the friendship
that is measured by success. and the
friendship that basks in the sunlight of
olr prosperity and allows you to mourn
alone in the darkness of adversely. but a
of time: a friendship that was born in
eTiflhood and has ripened with each sue
s.seISpsr wear until it has illuminated in
1his grand demonstration and expression
# fsfa : friendship which is one and in
sar,s ra Bile cloud cheering. and cries OF
YOU'RE all right, John; give II to Tim. >
Mr. German then uncovered the silver
eup ana with a few graceful words said
hat ii came from his many Irlends, VINO
wished him all sorts of nice Things. The
recipient of these honors was completely
s,,rn,ised. and for few seconds stood
faoirinp at the cup while the room rang
with shouts.k Then with a tremor N his
voice and tears in his eyes, ne said =
II fanot make a speech to you. II II
