Judge B. B. Savage Receives His
Friends on His Forty-Ninth Birth
day
1.-THE many friends of "Judge" Savage in
this city Will be Interested in reading the
following item from the Jacksonville, Flor
ida, Times Union and Citizen:l
Interlachen, Jan. 25.-When Judge B.
/ B. Savage gave a general invitation to
his friends, and their friends, to join
him in the celebration of his forty
ninth birthday on Monday evening at
the Cubano, everybody knew there was
a good time in prospect.
( The first guest of the occasion was
Rev. S. F. Gale, 1.-The Congregational
bishop" of Florida. Having to leave on
the o'clock train for Jacksonville, he
brought his regrets to the host and
hostess that he could not join the large
gathering, and recalled to the host some
OF the early incidents of Interlachen,
which We're new and deeply interesting
to the newcomers.
One of the features of this social oc-
casion was the presence of the venera-
BILE mother of the host, who for more
than three-score years and ten has been
resident of ice-clad New England.
The contrast is most enjoyable to her.
BY half-past four began a gathering
that included all the invited who found
it possible to leave their homes. They
were royalty welcomed by the host and
hostess, Mr.. and Mrs. Savage, and Miss
Sadie Eames, who did the honors of the
occasion. Delicious refreshments were
served to the guests upon their arrival.
The birthday gifts were largely of a
humorous character--doll babies, black
and white; jumping jacks, Chinese
whistles, trumpets, toy razorbacks, fish
ing tackle Ga clothesline with large iron
hook attached, which the host turned
over to DR.. McCrea, the pastor of the
Methodist church, assuring him it was
designed to catch big fish,. The climax
was reached when Ben Stock brought
in covered basket, which contained
his present. On an opening being made
in the cover out jumped a Belgian
hare, gayly decorated with bright rib
bons, which sat upon it's launches dis
mayed at the curious assemblage that
had gathered around.
Some new feature was constantly de-
veloped by the host as the time passed,
to keep up lively interest, and which
brought back to many the brilliant
gatherings in Interlachen's former days,
before the freeze" and awakened the
hope that the dead point of Interla-
chen's misfortunes had passed with the
Old century.
Mr.. Gale voiced the sentiment of 9th
ers when, viewing the environments of
the town, it's beautiful shaded STREETS,
its extensive hard-clay sidewalks, it's
placid lakes of clear, blue water, and
groves of water oaks it's high, rolling
lands, he said; Had Interlachen not a
building left, in its other improvements
and advantages of healthful location
she has the clements of a successful
winter resort"
