 The annual banquet of the New Ha- ven Baptist union took place at the First Baptist church last night. It was largely attended and was voted a great success. The programme arranged was very attractive, consisting as it did of music, toasts and short addresses. Dur ing the evening the three new Baptist ministers who have recently come to the city were introduced to the gather ing. They were Rev. Duncan Donald Munro, of Calvary church; Rev. Dr. Ford, of Olivet church, and Rev. D. D. Trick, of Howard Avenue church. At intervals in the programme the church quartette, composed of Mrs. Harry Good Miss Pearl Young, Frederick Ad- ans and Albert Kraft, rendered sev- eral vocal selections, which were highly appreciated.
 After having done ample justice to a sumptuous banquet the president of the union, Julius Twiss, in few introduce tory remarks referred to the good work which had been accomplished by the union since it came into existence and also referred to the fact that it had been instrumental in establishing the Swedish church on Greene street, rais- ing the debt on the Howard Avenue church and the acquiring of a church on George street to carry on mission among the Italian residents of that dis trict He also referred to the needs of the Olivet Baptist church for a new building in which to worship and meet the growing demands of that district, The purpose of the union, he said, was to bind the Baptists of the city closer together and to make them more use- full in the upbuilding of Christ's king dom on earth President Twiss com cluded his remarks by introducing Pro- lessor William Lyon Phelps as toast master.
 As usual the genial professor was at home in this position was brimming over with wit, and was the means of keeping the gathering in the best of humor throughout the evening.
 Rev. J. w. Ford, pastor of the Olivet church, expressed the great pleasure it gave him at being present. He gave a short insight into the history of the Oli- vet church, it's origin and growth, and told of the good work now being car ried on and the great need they had for new church.
 Rev. R. D. Trick. of the Howard Ave- nue Baptist church, was the next speaker, and after few introductory remarks read an original poem written for the occasion entitled "The Loom of Life"
 Rev D. D. Munro, the new pastor of Calvary church, said he was more than delighted to see such large gathering of Baptists present, and said it augured well for the cause in New Haven He gave several statistics showing the growth in numbers and resources of the Baptist church, both in this coun- try and across the water, and predicted great possibilities for the future of their church. There was plenty of work for them to do in New Haven among the foreign and colored people, and he thought their outlook was very bright indeed.
 Rev. Harold Pattison, of the First Baptist church of Hartford, also ad- dressed the union. He did not start tc speak until after 10 o'clock, and said ir Hartford they were in the habit of re- tiring at 9. Naughter) His remarks were eloquent and interesting, and were addressed to those men and wom. en of the church whom he termed as being everlastingly at it-those who worked year in and year out in the in. terests of the church, and who, he said seldom received the appreciation they were justly entitled to-.
