Clayton House.
Seldom has merrier crowd gathered
together than the one which banquetted
at the Clayton House last night. The
occasion was the annual banquet of the
Joseph H. Chandler Medical Club of
Delaware.
The diners sat down at 8 O'Clock and
the early hours of the morning began to
roll in long before they left for their
homes. Lots of things had transpired
between February Is, 1899, and February
ID, 1900, and these things had to be told
and digested. Then there was menu.
one of the most elaborate that has ever
been served at the Clayton House, and
OF course that also had to be gone through
with. 1t would not have been banquet
without that.
The gathering last night was truly one
OF distinguished physicians. Besides a
number from this city there were several
from Philadelphia. These banouets
each year are looked forward to with
great interest by the medical fraternity
Of this CITY.
Proprietor Bothman deserves great
credit for tine manner in which the menu
was served and the way in which the
table was decorated. Mr.. Bothman took
personal charge OF the decorations and
he has every reason to feel that his time
was not lost. At each end OF the room,
on the mantels and in front of the fire
places, were banked palms and potted
plants. At either end of the table was a
basket of roses and evergreen and strewn
along the table, winding in and out
among the china and silverware, smilax
was intermingled with pink carnations.
The effect was exceedingly pleasing.
Dr. Hobart A. Harris, Of Philadelphia,
was toastmaster, and as he called on the
different members and guests of the
