An Amusing Incident.

An amusing incident took place in the
Hotel English cafe last evening during the
dinner hour. Ernest H. Trip, a member
of the Governors staff. with his family was
at dinner before starting on the trip with
the Governor. Suddenly the door leading
from the hotel corridor to the cafe opened
and in marched Captain and Mrs English
and Henry w. Lawrence, followed by about
twenty colored walters. All carried small
American flags and they marched about the
Trip table to the inspiring strains of a
national air played on the piano. Finally
the music stopped and Mr.. Trip was called
upon to make a speech. The whole thing
was done quickly and without warning
that the recipient of the honor was prac-
tlcally hors de combat. However, he
managed TO say a few words indicating
relish of the demonstration, and then the
pianist struck up tune and out Of the cafe
the crowd marched. The other guests in
the cafe the while looked on with wide
eyes Captain English instigated the doings.
