Mr.. Neumann then arose. saying. These
remarks have gone beyond what was In.
tended. MIR. Gear was called upon TO re.
~, nd to the charge OF being In love and
he has drifted from that to another sub.
ject-the Courts. We all have enough OF
&C urts every day"
MIR. Gear concluded In n few words on
other matters.
Mr.. f. +. Dole. who, In hip previous re-
n'rrks had referred In an of hand and
jocoFe manner 20 his name being stricken
Off the calendar as attorney In civ'i cases
and also cases In which he defended po-
lice officers. then arose and made some
rem arks In a humorous manner. lndlcat-
ing that he did not mean to give offense
to Judge Humphreys.
T. McCants Stewart was then called
upon by the toastmaster to make some
remarks. Mr.. Stewart sad he was pre-
pared to astonlsh the members OF the bar
by showing that he could resist the
ten ptatiou TO make a speech, and proved
1t by sitting down.
OTHERS IN SAME VEIN.
Mr.. E. +. Dole thereupon called upon
Nj. l.. A. Thurston for remarks to which.
Ia responding, he said that he did not
know particularly what he was to say
ant had no particular subject on which
u speak. In view, however. OF the incl
dtnts of the evening, he thought 1t was
fair TO Mr.. McClanahan and fair to the
association to say that he did not be
lieve, that IL had entered into the imagi-
nation or heart of MIR. McClanahan or
any member Of the associat On to- say any
thing, or that anything had been said
which was intentionally offensive or
which could be construed as offensive to
airy part of the Bench. 1t was idie to de-
NY that there was not practically rev.
olution in the procedure of the Circuit
Court, and that 1t had caused some frc-
ton between the Court and the members
OF the Bar. 1t was not strange that it
should be go. The old shoe was easier
fitting than new one, and old furniture
was more comfortable than new. 1t was
inevitable that there should be some fric-
tion, but there was nothing of such a Sc
ricus nature that time would not remedy
1t: as to the Judges who had seen fit to
leave the room, II did not seem to the
speaker in the nature of an impropriety
that one of their fellow mempers should
"joke" them over "A matter which had so
recently transpired and which was of such
vital interest to the Bar.
Mr.. w. A. Henshall then arose and ad-
,dl essed the toastmaster, stating that he
desired to ask him II remarks had been
mace which could be construed as re-
flecting upon the First Judge of the Cir
cult Court or Associate Judge of the Su-
in reply. said: IF you ask me that ques-
tion. l will say 1t was because II was
late and 1t looked like rain"
Continuing in serious vein Mr.. Neu-
mann said that If one word had been said
that could be construed to give offense to
any one this evening, he himself must be
sirgularly obtuse. for he had not heard
any thing that could poss.Dly be construed
as improper. He said no explanations
were necessary to anyone.
In calling for toast to the Bar, Mr..
Neumann said: The Bar Is noted for its
nodesty and 1t has never come to me
In my experience that any member there
OF should be so very modest as to leave
the room when he was being well spoken

Mr.. Neumann said, in closing the even
irg's remarks: 81 prophesy year from
now the Bar will meet for another din
ner. Those who desire the company of
tho Bar will come TO enjoy themselves
and those who remain away VIII regret
1t" Laughter greeted the popular toast
last words and the banquet was
finished.
