favor that can only be impaired by
the experienced cook who is a mas

stew was followed by a meat course.
and in the barbecued meats the same
degree of perfection was obtained.
Fragrant coffee accompanied the
meat, the whole making a repast that
was verify fit for a king.
The dinner was prepared under
the supervision of Mr.. Felix Gunter
and Mr. Peter Geraud, and TO the
skill with which they performed their
work much of the success of the oc-|
casion is due. Nothing is more con-
ducive to good cheer than a good
dinner. and the viands served at

toothsome that men forgot for the
nonce the trials and vicissitudes of
life and remembered only its delights
and pleasures.

sociation, this paper is enabled TO
present a list of the veterans who
attended the barbecue Although this
list was prepared with sedulous care,
it may be that few names are omit

honor to print the names of those
who so bravely defended the South
