The party, including the guests of
honor, who were among the foremost men
of the state, in all numbered 167 and
they were seated about seventeen tables
one of which, that reserved for the chair
man and guests of honor, was twice the
size of the others. The dining hall was
beautifully decorated with flowers, as
We're the tables, and while a large corps
of walters attended upon the wants of
the inner man, Danz's orchestra, on q
