In doing so he said:

a tax put upon cats. You may laugh,
but IL there is any useless animal in

of no use here. They do not kill rats.
They do destroy our native birds.

how to spend their money, was at a
loss to know how to dispose of this
then fabulous amount upon a single
meal. There were se~venty-two guests,
and they were entertained in the
large ballroom which in Delmonico's
Fourteenth street establishment has
seen so many social triumphs. The
house had been Moses Grinnell's and
ever bore the imprint of a gentleman's
residence even when transformed into
a public place of entertainment. The
table occupied the whole length and
breadth of the room; the walters had
barely space to move about it.. 1t was
a long, oval table, round which a mas

laid guarding a miniature lake thirty
feet long. The water, by mechanical
contrivance, undulated gently, and on
its breast t1oated four living swans, a
golden network keeping them in
