BANQUET GIVEN BY
ENGINEERS OF 7. CT.
MANY OF THE DEPARTMENT
LEAVE SHORTLY-ENJOYABLE
AFFAIR AT THE NEW FLORENCE
HOTEL.

Members Of the engineering department
of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
company gave an elaborate banquet last
night in the ball room of the New Flor
enee hotel. 1t was In the nature of
farewell to about twenty-five Of their
number who will shortly leave for various
parts of the country, where they have ac-
cepted positions in their line of work.
Fifty covers were laid and at that, there
wasn't a one too many. The banquet was
as unique as 1t was enjoyable. Menu
cards were gotten up in the style of blue
prints. They were called a "bill Of ma
terial." and the courses, numerous as they
were, were interviewer with engineering
terms which must have given an extra
zest for the initiated While those present
all hailed formerly from Ensley, the af4
fair inasmuch as eighteen states of the
Union and two foreign countries, France
and Germany, were represented at the
board necessarily was cosmopolitan in
character IL not in interests Consequently
the bohemian air Of the occasion was not
TO be wondered at. As it came naturally
and with characteristic informality, the
affair was all the more enjoyable and Will
doubtless long be a pleasant memory i'll
the minds Of those present, however wide
ly they may be separated in the future.
So that each member of the engineering
corps may have an even more lasting I'M
preston of the evening ever with him In
his travels, a flash light picture was taken
