dinner of the Washington Board of Trade
Nearly 800 of the members and their guests
marched joyously aboard the steamer Harry
Randall at o'clock, and sailed for River
View. leaving formal manners and dignifed
demeanor at home. All afternoon the slogan
was enjoy yourselves and have a good
time-but don't miss the last boat home"
Down at River View Billy Henshaw, he of
the Boreas kind. Wed with Sam StinemetZ
for the leadership of the willing workers
brigade. Henshaw was chief chef and doled
out planked shad and choice bits of con-
versation that were the best ever. Sam
StnemetZ served as master of ceremonies,
and bossed everything from clam chowder
"a la President Cox" to cheese, aged by
Bates" The man behind the gun was Major
Ed Neumeyer, he of the modest temper
ment. who when called upon for a speech
looked pleasant and averred that he had
nothing to say-except that If anybody
wanted anything more to eat there was
plenty. These ''multum in parvo"

of the Interior Department., and others OF
greater or less prominence were there, out

President Cox lost several moments en-
deavoring to quiet the noisy throng, pre-
paratory to the post-prandial exercises. He
had made about as much progress as water
would in running up a hill when Gen Har-
ries came to the rescue. Now, be it known,
primarily, that Gen. Harries is commander
of the District militia, plus the naval bat
TALON, and he has learned to speak with
such force that the fOundations-of the Ma
tional Guard-have trembled. The general
braced himself against the wall and COM
manded attention. Silence was the an
swer and the speeches began forthwith.
Orators Open Fire.
Mr. Cox introduced Gen. Greedy, and
asked him to respond to the toast 1.-The
President of the United States" Gen. Greedy
declared himself doubly honored, first in
having been asked to set the pace for the
speakers, and. second. in having been as
signed such delightful subject. He out
lined the trials and vicissitudes through
which this country has passed, and said

that now, as never before, we face difficult
problems in national administration.
Mistakes the President has made-per-
haps," concluded Gen. Greedy, land mis-
takes the country has made, but stick by
both and you will come out all right in the
end

there were no ladies present. This nearly

the situation was saved. He had been as
signed the toast, THE Identification of
Washington" In starting out again he re-
covered the popular ear by avowng that
Washington should be the most beautiful
city in this country. Yes he added, the
most beautiful on the face of the earth"
Washington, in Mr.. Chambers opinion,
must depend for It's prosperity upon the
fact that it is the capital of the greatest
nation in the world. 1t will never have
manufactures or other industries which
help to build a great city. Washington's
only stock in trade is its beauty, according
to the senator. He is opposed to the pres
ent scheme of taxation, and said the local
taxes should be lower and should be paid
directly into the treasury of the United
