II was in every sense of the word an
enjoyable dinner. The genlality so
characteristic of the guest of honor.
seemed to prevude the whole company.
Everybody was in good humor and
each seemed to vie with the other in
adding to the sociability of the occas-
ion. The speeches were in every way
in keeping with the occasion, and last
but not least, in the way of the even

mittee," an inevitable adjunct of every
, bar banquet, was liberal in clever con-
tributions to the fun fund.

Judge II. w. Archibald and Deputy At
torney General Frederic w. Fleitz. in
troduced ira II. Burns as toastmaster.
Mr.. Burns was very cordially greet
