ANNUAL BANQUET
Gathering of the Sons of the American
 Revolu tion Last Night.

The annual banquet or the Arizona Society Sons of the American Revo- lution was held at >the Hotel Adams last evening. Though many of the members of the organization are ab- sent from the city, a goodly number of them gathered for their annual re- union and with a few invited guests passed a most enjoyable evening.
 The decorations consisted almost en- tirely of United States flags, big and little. They were festooned around the pillars in the dining room and loope1 along the walls. giving to the room the strongest possible suggestion of pa triotic gathering. The colors of the order. blue, white and buff were also in evidence, and these three colors were employed in the printing of the pro- Srammes and menu cards.
 After the attractive menu had re- ceived due attention Major Lewis w. Coggins, president of the society. called the assembly to order and in a few well-chosen words introduced Rev. Dr. Lewis Halsey as toastmaster.
 The toast list was as follows: The Arizona Society.
