hotel President West acting as a reception
committee. By half-past the parlor was
crowded, and then MeSSrS. West and NoyeS

Lee L. Harlan of the Columbia team. ana
on his left Mr.. Noyes Then came Generai
Harries and Colonel Biddle on either SIDE.
and then the victorious team. Each diner
found in front of him an imitation golf DALI
eEtwined with the national cOlorS. bouton-
Mere and a favor. The menu was an
elaborate one, and at the close of the dinner
dimnutve candleSticks with candles and
minute hot water bags were Drought IN;
the former to light the diners home and
the latter to be used In case of necessity
this morning. During the repast good 1ei-
lowship and jollity reigned. but golf tax
was tabOoed. and woe bet1de the man VINO
started a story of the links. storms of pro-
test coming from all parts of the hail.
At.the close of the repast President west
arose and in q few Well-chosen woIas iauu-
ed the team for its magnificent victory IN
winning the trophy. going into details OF
the matches of the four seasons Wnlcn IL
was required to win it. He spoke OF the
start off of the matches. when Chevy Chase
overwhelmed Columbia, and how the latter
had worked determinedly to come TO the
front in the last three years and hnally
landed the prize. Mr.. West next TOOK up
the leadership Of DIR. Harlan. paying a
glowing tribute to that fine golfer, and then
the players individually. All through the
remarks enthusiasm was rampant, ana al
the mention Of each familiar name every
member of the team being very popular as
well as a good golfer, three cheers were
given and the players health drunk In
conclusion Mr.. West said that while the
members of the Columbia golf team were
the guests of the evening. the fact should
not be lost sight of that the donor of the
cup, The Evening Star Newspaper Com
pany was responsible for four years of
great Sport ana IOF the OCCdSlOu Which,
they were enjoying. and he therefore took
pleasure in introducing Mr.. Theodore w.
Noyes as the representative OF that paper
Mr.. Noyes referred to the many cups of
fered by The Star in different lines Of
athletic and outdoor sport. and said that
the paper would be always willing to en-
courage clean sport of every description
He was especially grat d at at the The un n,
the golf cup, and brought all the diners to
their feet with cheers when he predicted
that The Star would present second cup
for competition by the local golfers, and to
represent the club championship of the Dis
trict. AS member Of the Columbia Golf
Club Mr.. Noyes then praised the winning
team.
When President West next introduced
Captain Lee Harlan as Papa Lee" every
man in the banqueting hall was on his feet
in second, and the cheering and enthu-
siastic ordinations continued for several
minutes. No more popular man than DR..
Harlan can be found in the world of sport,
and the Columbia Golf Club members are
devoted to him. The spontaneous out
burst somewhat embarrassed Mr.. Harlan
for few minutes but he finally regained
his voice and in short talk lauded all
the members of the team and thanked the
Columbia club for its hearty support.
At the conclusion of his remarks Mr.. Har-
ban was toasted several times The other
members of the team, Messrs. Walter 9.
Harlan, Mckinley. Mattingly, Davidson,
Brooke, Weaver and Baird were introduced
pirate remarks were made by each. Then
followed several cleyerly rendered recita-
lions by Eddie Walsh which were ap-
plauded to the echo. Gen. George H. Harries
concluded the speechmaking with a hui
morous contrasting of the golfers patience
with that of the patrons of the Brightwood
line, and he had to stand for a great deal
of good natured raillery from his hearers.
The enjoyable banquet was then brought
to a conclusion with everybody standing
and singing Aud Lang Syne," and it is
debatable question whether a more satisfied
body of diners has ever left the Raleigh.

queters were lined up as follows:
