After Mr.. Wohlfort's address supper
WAS announced and fifty people were ac-
commodated at the first sitting. Such .
spread has been seldom seen in this city.
The markets were canvassed for every
thing palatable and much of the elegant
luncheon was brought from the markets
of Denver.
The tables were spread elaborately and
there was no sparing Of expense to make
them delightfully."- inviting.
The supper was given in charge Of
Mrs. Jennie Magruder, a well-known
caterer, and to be absolutely truthful,
che excelled beyond the highest antici-
pations OF the committee of arrange
ments. To her all credit must be given
for the manner in which the tables were
provided with the delightful edibles.
Under her supervision the refreshments
we're cooked and spread on the tables.
Festooning Of smilax adorned the latter
and we're pendant from the ceiling in
every direction. On a separate table,
within the enclosure made by two large
tables, was the monogram Of the order,
"B. P. o. E." worked out in smilax and
cut flowers. This was very beautiful
and delightful piece of decoration, and
was admired by all the banqueters. The
table service was most excellent, and a
dozen or more walters, capped and
aproned, were at the elbows OF the guests,
anticipating their every want. Nothing
was neglected or forgotten. There was
an abundadce Of everything and to spare.

One matter which was the subject Of
much favorable comment was the music

has played more tunefully in his career,
