When the guests stood around the ta-
bic. lust before taking their seats. the
toasts of the West Side club was pro-
posed and drunk heartily. The next
toast was To President Frank Il. Pierce
and then another TO "Our Dear Old west
Side Club" and there was chnking or
glasses across the tables.
During the dinner music was furnished
by the Glenham orchestra, and every
body was made happy. Hon. Clarke Ia.
Johnson acted as toastmaster.
Letters of regret were read from Gov.
Gregory Congressman Adm B. Capron,
Hon. Samuel H. Powers, congressman
from the Eleventh district of Massachu-
setts. and Judge Savage of the supreme
court of Maine.
After brief addresses by Lieut.. Gov.
Kimball, Alderman Walter B. Vincent
and DIR. Fenner III. Peckham. the toast
master introduced the ever popular mar
shall +. Wilder.
OF course. Mr.. Wilder made hit. and
n big one. lie entered into the real spirit
of the occasion. and his natural sponta-
neous mirth was contagious. The stories
ne told appealed to all, and personal and
local hits were commlngled with anec-
dotes and representations or characters
familiar 10 everybody.
About If o'clock the meeting broke up.
hut not before a rousing vote OF thanks
