 As unique a dinner as any ever given | in this. city was that at the annual gathering of the members of the Quin- nipiack club in it's clubhouse last even- ing, when the occasion was made a pow-wow of the ancient and far-famed Quinnipiack tribe. As far as possible everything, from the decorations to the service at the feast, conformed to the general idea, and it was a delightfully."- successful event, attended, as was to be expected, by the greater number of | the clubs members.
 The spirit of the welcome was con tained in this greeting:
 Welcome, Warriors, to the Feast l Sit Thee Down Beside the Fires, l Smoke the Pipe of Peace in Quiet,
 In memory of Your Intrepid Sires Memoirs of Chief Quinnipiack,' Vol
 umc H., Chapter w.
 The decorations for the feast were strictly in keeping with the idea, and for picturesqueness undoubtedly had never been excelled in this city. The portal to the main dining room was screened to resemble the tepee of a chief, the canvas being upheld by the rough-hewn poles of birch. The thrown back middle flap gave a glimpse of the wigwam, bright with colors con- trasted from a sombre brown on the floor to the grass-green coverlet of the three long tables and the crimson pieces on the upper walls. The wig wam walls were hung with gay -hued blankets woven and worn by the Sioux, l Crow, Blackfeet, Kickapoo and Maya hoe Indians of the great southwest, with garments of buckskin also gaudy with pigment colorings and glistening with bead fringes, moccasns, wampum belts, feather hair locks, and here and there weapons of the chase and iuple- ments of peaceful industry. From the electrolier in the center of the ceiling was hung a canoe of quaint workman ship and bearing the scroll of tribal talisman Over the fireplace was sus- pended large Navahoe blanket with an overhung skin bearing the portrait in oils of a noted Sioux chief. Many of these skins were in the decorative scheme, and the workmanship upon them was strongly brought into relief by the mellow light. Three long tables were spread in the wigwam, and in the other rooms leading off were other ta- bles. Each was covered with green cloth, and each place was set with a birch plate, steel knives and forks, with the individual condiment holders of cartridge shells.
 Throughout the feast and at inter- vals, as the Pipe of Peace was smoked Indian airs came from the band of nu- sicians in an adjoining room. The council fire was kindled an hour after the setting of the sun, as the warriors gathered from the trails which led to and from their own tepees in the Elm City reservation. At the sound of the tom-tom the warriors entered the wig wam and took their places at the long tables. The stumps at the center oi the board of the right-hand table were taken by Ruling Chief Osborn, who had on either nand Secretary William Fl Taft and President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale, With Governor Woodruff next to Secretary Taft. Lieutenant- Govern or Lake was absent because of illness The feast was opened by gun play by the toastmaster, and then the serving men, in their Indian garb and wearing the paint of peace, served corn ant venison in the following order:
