About two years ago the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association Of
Baltimore City gave their nineteenth
annual dinner at the Hotel Rennert.
They sent over to Washington for
oratory, and Clark, Dolliver and Gros-
venor were OF the half score Of Con-
gresham who attended. Lucullus
would have enyied that banquet. II
was worthy the pen of Dumas, who
described the supper when Cagliastro
made those grewsome prophecies The
oysters were the best in the world
the choicest Cherrystones. The soup
was green turtle, and Baltimore knows
what turtle Is. There was terrapin a
Ia Renert, no doubt as good as that
prepared by Reyerdy Johnson for the
British foreign Office. There was roast
Jersey capon, with new peas and fresh
mushrooms. Canvas-back duck and
currant jelly, the culinary glory of
maryland, My Maryland, was there.
The pride of old Virginia, evenSmith-
field ham, was there, cut from razor
back reared on mast, roots and rep
tiles, aud finished on sugar corn and
cowpeas. France and Spain supplied
the wines OF many vintages.
The president Of the association,
Gen. Lloyd L. Jackson, made the first
speech. 1t was not only a strong plea
for expansion, sO-called, but very,
very pro-British when he came to dis
cuss the South African episode. The
Postmaster General made a speech
that would have been warmly ap-
plauded in Republican conyenticle.
Then Gen. Grosvenor was called upon.
His subject was present Condition of
American Trade" No newspaper
reader in all America need to be told
what sort Of speech that was. 1t was
a regular Republican ratification af-
fair, and no man living can do it up
browner OF to an exacter term.
One of the most dIvertlng anecdotes
in that entertaining, but somewhat
naughty narrative, Memories du
Compile de Grammont, - is the one re-
lating the presence Of Charles IL and
his brother, the Duke of York, at an
entertainment given by Mistress Nell
Gwyn. A company of italian players
were there and made some delightful
music which was rapturouslyapplaud-
ed. Approaching her royal guests the
fair hostess asked for money with
which to pay the musicians. The
King searched all his pockets and
found not a penny, and the duke had
only a few shillings. Turning to the
other guests and employing the
Kings favorite expletiye, Nellie ex-
claimed: 'Odds fish, What company
am l got into?"
And over in Baltimore the Hon,
Champ began to ask himself what
company he had got into. He had
written a speech for the occasion, his
theme, "The United States Of Amer
lea in the Twentieth Century, and II
was what he considered a thoroughly
non-partisan Grafton, though he was
not under oath when ne so described
it. The Baltimore papers had obtain
ed copies Of the speech in advance and
had the speech in type ready for use
but Clark never delivered it. 1t was
a ten-minute speech-the one he de
livered lasted an hour. But the NOR,
he heard the angrier he got. He dl
verted his mind Of the written ORATOR
and called to memory his most fer,
and untamed Pike county free silvei
and free trade speech, and he fired Il
at the company volcanic from hear
and bllstering from tongue. IL was /
