Silver Loving Cup.
At night Lehman's Hall was kept con-
tilually filled from S O'Clock until nearly
IL o'clock with those who wished to be
present at Bishop Paret's public recep-
ton. There seemed to be end to the
long line of persons who had formed in
order to grasp the hand of the bishop, to
whom honor was due, and the others who
stood around him, i
One of the conspicuous and most pleasing
features of the evenings program was the
presentation to Bishop Paret on the part
of the clergymen of his diocese, of hand
some silver loving cup attesting the esteem
and love of the presbyters for their bishop
and friend. Speeches Were made at the
reception by Bishop Whitehead, Rev. DR..
j. Houston EcclestOn and former Governor
William Pinkney Whyte.
The anniversary celebrations will close
tonight with complimentary dinner to
Bishop Paret at the Hotel Belvedere by the
Churchman'S Club of the diocese of Mary
and number of the laity, INCLUDING Judge
Henry D. Harlan,-Mr. Joseph Packard Dr.
