and the whole affair was one OF the
finest ever given in the town. The
primary object was to cement the
friendship of the two towns closer,
and the reason the Councils were in
vited was because of the kindness they
had shown to the Morgantown people
when the latter were hunting informa-
ton on street paving last spring.
The menu was as follows:
Arrac Punch Royal
Raw Oysters.
Consomme Patriot.
Spanish Olives
Fried Strawberry Bass.
