Among tho Speakers of the Evening
Very Enthusiastic Gathering -EIec-
Morning Next Convention IN Kansas
CITY.
The convention of the United Typo
thetae came to brilliant close last
evening with the elaborate banquet at
Warner hall. The event was a decided
ly brilliant one and was patronized by
nearly 500 gentlemen. Warner hall was
filled to it's utmost capacity and at Z
o'clock when the guests seated them
selves the beginning of the end of the
most successful convention of the
United Typothetae Of America was be-
gun.
| THE BANQUET.
| The banquet was given by the
| Connecticut Typothetae to the United
| Typothetae delegates and was a
most picturesque sight. There were
twenty-six tables, each being named
after some prominent member Of the
association and about these tables was
| seated one of the largest and most rep
! resentative gatherings that has ever
come to New Haven. Men from all over
the country were at last nights dinner,
which was a splendid one as the follow
ing menu will show:
Rockaway oysters on Half Shell.
Green Turtle Soup, Clear
Broiled Bluefish a la Italienne
Potato Croquettes
Olives, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Celery.
Tenderloin of Beef Larded la 13ernaise
Potatoes la Delnonico.
Artichokes au Gratin.

Cakes, Fancy Ice Cream, Fruit,
Cheese, Crackers.
Coffee
Every little while FichtPs orchestra,
which was stationed IN the stare be-
hind a curtain of palms and flowers,
would strike up some popular song and
the great chorus of 400 voices would
make the roof of the building fairly
trembled. When America" THE Star
Spangled Banner Dixie" Yankee
Doodle" and other patriotic tunes were
played all the gentlemen rose and amid
the waving of napkins high in the air
the verse would be sung through only
to receive great cheer at the conclu-
sion. The best of feeling and the spirit
which has marked the conv ontion from
the opening day, that of unity, one and
all, was most evident at last nights
banquet The cheering for delegates of
the typOthetae, for members of the
north east, south and west was Joined
in by everybody and 1t can be safely
said that such an enthusiastic body of
hen has rarely, if ever. assembled in
New Haven.
Pleasant little Warner hall never look
ed prettier than it did last night. From
the two small galleries over the stage
We're hung the portraits of President
Mckinley and Admiral Dewey sur
rounded by very artistic array of
American flags and greens.
Along the great walls of the hail flags
and bunting was displayed in every
corner and nook, and all palms We're
blending gracefully and giving a beau
tiful tone to the interior.
Along the gallery rail in the rear of
the hall were hung large American flags
set off by a unique figure in the center.
1t was that of the American eagle
holding great nutmeg by it's beak.
The many tables were ladened with
flowers and looked very handsome. Az
II O'clock, or shortly after, the ladies
who had attended "Sister Mary" at the
Hyperion, came over after the show and
filled the gallery of the hall. They re-
manned until the speaking was over,
which was after / o'clock.
The New Haven Clock company pre-
sented watch to every delegate pres
ent with "U. T. A., New Haven Ct.,"
inscribed on the dial. They will furnish
pleasant reminders of the visit to New
Haven.
1t was Just 10 o'clock when Wilson Fl.
Lee raped for order,and after few re-
marks of welcome announced that tel
egram had been received from Colonel
N. G, Osborn stating that 1t was impos-
sible for him to attend the banquet and
