gled Banner the guests rising and
singing the first verse of the song
With cheers and applause they settled
, into their seats again. Judge Rowland
went on:
Il think it is due TO our great friend
and all on the other side of the water
that we should drink the health of her
Majesty the Queen" said Judge How
land. While the band played God
Save the Queen" the diners joined in
singing the words of the song
GOV. DYER MENTIONS DEWEY.
Judge Howland's speech was received
with great enthusiasm. The women
in the three galleries Wed with the
diners on the main floor in their ap-
plause. When at last something like
lquiet was restored, Gov. Dyer of Rhode
Island was introduced and said, in re-
Isponse to the toast "Forefathers Day"
rs ii of the day or of the man that 1
am TO speak? 1t is of both: OF that
New England winter day which
brought these Pilgrims face to face
with a destiny fearful TO contemplate
and of the Pilgrims themselves who
stood ready to face their destiny, gil
ants in their faith and clothed with
the spirit of the living God
IF, Mr. President, 1 give honor to
those New Englanders who went across
the continent sowing right and left the
principles upon which this nation is
built, l must congratulate the New
Englanders who ceased their wander
ings and took up their abode in this
| goodly city. / can almost hear the
chimes of old Trinity ringing out the
old and ringing in the new year. Since
they have rung out their changes some
of our most venerated doctrines and
exclusive ideas have been shattered by
the men behind the guns and the men
who climbed San Juan hill. (Cheers.)
will you pardon me, Mr.. President
and gentlemen, if | say with glory
enough for all, with honor to every
man who answered the roll call in the
war with Spain, high up on the pin
nacle of American greatness stands a
New Highlander (cheers), a man for
whom no honors are too great (cheers)
no position too grand, and that man
is George Dewey of Vermont
The ballroom of the Waldorf-As
has never witnessed such remarkable
outburst of enthusiasm as that which
greeted these words of Rhode Islands
Governor.

The President, Mr.. Rowland said:
ct is scarcely necessary for me to in
troduce the next speaker to you, for
his career is before you all and his rec
ord is known to all men. The boy at
school was asked this question in ply
sizes: What is the difference between
lightning and electricity And he said,
You don't have to pay for lightning
| Uaughter.) This gentleman furnishes
| lightning free, and it has that usual
quality of rapidity that clears the
murky air. His career as a public man,
although young, as legislator, Civil
Service Commissioner, Police Commits
sioner, Assistant Secretary of the Navy
and Colonel of the rough riders zap
plauSe and cheers) has shown that he
| is able, fearless, and pure, and that
foreshadows the character of his State
administration. A gentleman was ask
ed during the late political campaign

Roosevelt, and he said: L never saw

Mr.. Roosevelt said:
'sMr President and gentlemen: l re-
member once being introduced because
of my Dutch origin as typical New
Yorker, and then hearing it explained
by a subsequent speaker that / was not
typical New Yorker, because a ty

of New England parents. Oaughter)
1--WE get from the Puritan the in
lheritance of more than one virtue, OF
more than one set of virtues, and we
will do we'll to recollect that no one
set of virtues is enough to save
State; that a nation composed merely
of warriors is as sure ultimately to fail
as a nation composed merely of mer-

If ever this country loses either set of

tests of peace that come to you year
by year, where the contests Of war
come to you once in a generation, that
the Puritan owes his success to the
