Rarely before in this city has such
genuine enthusiasm been evoked as
was awakened by the president at the
conclusion Of his speech. AS he men

hands interrupted him for several
minutes. When he brought MS ao-

with enthusiasm, jumped upon the

the words of the president sprang
from his seat and grasped the presi-

while he expressed his gratitude.
For fully ten minutes the hall rang
with the applause while both Demo-

reason his own poems have been pub
lished only at long intervals, but all
have won wide recognition.
Mr.. England is Cambridge man. AT
the university he won many honors
during his four years of study. He
obtained the Porteus gold medal for
reading, but after taking his degree he
buried himself for four years by accept
ing the post of librarian in the British
Museum. In these years he contributed
essays, criticisms and poems to lead
ing magazines. He studied music in
London under the great masters and
then went to Berlin to continue the
training of his voice. While studying
lated the librettos and this led him to
original work along an untried branch
of literary production. Sir Arthur
Sullivan accepted an oratorio and was
engaged on the musical setting at the
time of his death. A cantata written
for Sir Frederick Bridge, organist Of
Westminster Abbey, was most success
full.
Notwithstanding his unusual achieve
ments in literature, Mr.. England has
made music his vocation. He has a
baritone voice of big range and he
sings with a splendid art which is
broadened by many sided culture. Ia
addition to the sixteen songs of the
Schumann cycle, Mr.. England will be
heard, tomorrow, in six songs that will
power.

Guest of lroquois Club

Guest of lroquois Club
Honoring and honored by his politi-
cal foes but personal friends, Presi-
dent Roosevelt was tonight the chief
guest at a magnificent banquet ten
dered him by the Iroquois club, the
leading Democratic organization of IL
linois. Surrounded by men who have
fought against him in two national
campaigns, who deprecate many of his
avowed policies and who have frowned
upon some of his political actions, the
president was tonight cheered to the
echo as he entered and left the ban
quet hall, was applauded with en-
thusiasm throughout his address and
at it's close and was given to UNDER
stand that in his case political differ
ences were not personal issue.
The banquet, which was from the
first to last an ovation, was given by
Democrats to the leader of their poll
tical opponents and many of the kind
ly personal references made by the
speakers of the evening, the majority
of whom are men of Democratic faith,
deeply touched the president. In his
manner and words he evinced through
out the evening a deep qualification at
the warmth of his reception from
battles before now and are ready to
fight him again tomorrow if they
thought it necessary. Throughout the
entire evening, however, ran the domi-
nant note of admiration for the char
acter Of and friendship for, the man
himself.
At the presidents table were Mayor
Edward f. Dunno; Charles F. Gunther.
president of the Iroquois club; James
Hamilton Lewis, who acted as toast
ray F. Tuley, Sheriff Thomas E. Bar
rett and other Democrats. OF the Re-
publicans there were at the same table
Governor Deneen, Senator A. ]. Hop
kins, Judge c. c. Kohlsaat, Judge J. w.
Lands and a dozen more.
Holds Informal Reception
Prior to the banquet itself, which was
set for o'clock, the president held an
informal reception in the rooms of the
Art institute, adjoining the Auditorium
on the north. He shook hands with
every one of the 700 men who were
present at the function Immediately
following the reception, and had a
pleasant word for all those who were
known to him personally or by repu-
tation.
A few moments before o'clock the
president entered the banquet hall. He
had been preceded by several hundred
of the guests, and his arrival was the
signal for an outburst of cheers that
continued until the president had tra-
versed the long hall and stood by his
seat at the speakers table. The pres
ident bowed repeatedly in acknowledge
ment of the hearty welcome extended
to him.
The menu was long, and fully one and
one-half hours were consumed before
its end was reached. At o'clock
President Gunther of the Iroquois club
called the guests to order and made
brief address of welcome to the pres
ident.
Toastmaster Lewis also spoke briefly.
