that he had lost the sight of one eye l looking for a hole, which statement was received with much laughter, and the health of the speaker was immediately drunk amidst much applause Captain Ingalls of the First company of Hartford was next introduced to l those present. He delivered the greet ing of the Hartford company, and said his firmest wish was that the relations | between the two companies might De more firmly cemented.
 Major Clark next introduced Colonel | Pickett Colonel Pickett applauded the fact that Colonel Burpee had con- scented to take a position on Major Clarks staff. He expressed the hope that the time is coming when Colonel Burpee will ornament the position Of adiutant general of the state of Con- | necticut.
 He said that he believed thoroughly in the Governors Foot Guard, both companies. If I were governor" he said, T would leave no stone unturned to send these splendid organizations across the water to the Paris expos1- tion."
 Major Andrews of the Putnam Pha- lanx followed and in a few words thank ed the Foot Guard for the entertain ment he had received. He in turn call- ed upon Major Sidney D. Clark, judge advocate of the Putnam Phalanx, to re- spond for that organization. Major Clark commented upon the relations which have always existed between the company he represented and the Foot Guard, which, he said, were the most cordial of any two companies of Whlch he had any cognizance. He also re- marked in general upon the military or ganizations of the state, which. he sald, were far superior to those of any other state. Superior among these" he said, "are and will always be the companiee of the Governors Foot Guard and the Putnam PhalanX."
 The last speaker of the evening was Alexander Troup director of public works MT. Troup's speech took the character of a merry badinage between himself and those present. He eald that if it hadn't happened that he had promised Major Clark before he attend- ed the feast that he wouldn't speak up- on anything but theology he would be tempted to make a political speech. He said he hadn't come prepared with any slate for the staff of the next governor, | however. He said he knew and loved Colonel Burpee, but it was his conv1c- tion that there were accidents in peace as we'll as in war. He said that there had been many compliments paid the Foot Guard during the evening and he was not going to try to add to them. Suffice it to say that Connecticut IS proud of it's citizen soldiery; it is proud of their record in the late war. He be- l lieved in these organizations and in their spirit of good fellowship.
 The banquet closed by all present ris- ing and singing the "Star Spangled Banner" to the accompaniment of the orchestra
