THE eRlp,RoN DINNER.
Famous Washington Club Has Another
Unique Entertainment.

| Washington, Feb 2.-The annual
dinner of the Gridiron Club Saturday
night was another record breaker In the
way of unique entertainments, anu the
| Washington correspondents who COM
| pose this famous organization again
demonstrated that everything under the
| sun Cor on the gridiron) was new; that
there was a humorous side to all cur
rent events, and that toasts and roasts
may be combined for an evening 5
amusement. The dining hall of the Ar
lington hotel was never so handsomely
decorated. Among the 200 guests and
members were ambassadors, senator's
and representatives, governors. high
officers of the army and navy, promi-
nent men in the financial and business
world, editors and proprietors of great
newspapers, and scientists and men OF
letters.
The menu was a calendar, each
month illustrated with the picture OF a
prominent guest whose business or
personal characteristics was Indicated
in a juggling rhyme. The Inauguration
of the new president of the club, Mr..
William e. Curtis, afforded an oppor-
tunity for reverting to the part Mr..
Curtis took in securing the attendance
of Spanish grandees for the worlds
fair at Chicago. The pomp and cere-
mony of the Spanish court of 1892, min
gled with twentieth century ideas and
events made 1t a SNOWY and laughable
affair. One OF the questions propound
ed to Columbus was What is trust?"
to which he answered, "A bunch of
money surrounded by water"
Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan. one of the
guests of the club was made the sub
ject OF quite the best burlesque of the
evening. For the alleged benefit Of the
New York financiers the Gridiron Club
Installed bucket shop" as an adjunct
to Mr.. Morgan's Office. The manager
and "chair warmers" kept up a fire of
lively questions and answers in which
various guests We're placed upon the
gridiron. The burlesque concluded
with song dedicated to Mr. Morgan.
The experiments which DIR. Wiley, of
the agricultural department is making
with borax as preservative afforded
another vehicle to give a number of
prominent guests gridironing. 1t was
charged that DIR. Wiley was conducting
an experiment at the dinner, and two
Wiley and his assistant, showed the eff
feet of borax on the brain. A poison
squad" was brought out and X-rays APP
piled to their heads. The marvellous
things which they were found to De
thinking about, as told by the operat-
ors, created great amusement.
