BANQUET BRILLIANT
 AFFAIR IN EVENING

lHt DdnQuei Ut the DOmlnlOn n0teI with which the entertainment of the visiting bankers was concluded last night was manifestly an occasion of mirth and laughter and nothing else, and so far as one could see, the ter TOTS of the morning after' had no depressing effect on the spirits of either the guests of their hosts.
 To stir the enthusiasm of the Arizona | fnanciers to the fever pitch before the festivities began, the Globe City band was employed to give one of its real western concerts, affording lots of mel ody and plenty of volume.
 Between 9:30 and 10 o'clock the doors of the main dining room swung open and disclosed td veiw preparations for spread calculated to meet the ap- proval of even a banker, and an Ari. 2ona banker at that. The tables were tastefully decorated with roses and ferns and were arranged in the form of large rectangle open at one end and having at the other extremity a table placed crosswise at which the toastmas- ter and a number of speakers had places of honor. Those who sat at this table were Charles L, Rawlins, master of ceremonies; President c. o. Ellis, Sec. retary Morris Goldwater, NJ. J. Cunning. ham, J. K. Lynch, George J. Stoneman and G. W. F. Hunt.
 As mere description of a banquet in no way suffiees unless it is supplement- ed with the vians themselves, no graph. ic account of the delectables is Tee. cessary, except to say that the notes of melody that flowed from t,.le instru. ments of the negro orchestra were not the only liquid things the dining hall. About seventy people were pres. ent.
 The banquet was agreed by all to be the best of it's kind. Not that any vote was taken in the matter, but the gus to with which the many diners entered into the wassail bout was proof enough in itself that they had lofty gustatory opinion as to the merits of | the edIbles and less Salid refreshments that graced the tables. Either the food or some other ageRcy made the bankers exceedingly witty and this wit found expression in a number of two minute speeches that would have done i credit to Cicero and George M. Co han rolled into one.
 Charles l.. Rawlins in opening the | period of speeehmaking said in part: ''We who live in Globe, wish to ex- press to you as our guests, that we ap- preciate deeply and sincerely your pres ence here. You have come from the different Arizona cities and some of you ln Ea Ga. h, ln. and richest city west of New York, ex- cept of course, our own city. We in Globe are glad of this last opportunity to greet you and show you the good will the citizens of Globe have toward you.
 F.. O. Ellis, the newly elected presi- dent of the association, spoke briefly as follows:
 When l accepted this new position of mine l did it with the knowledge that our bylaws provided that the secretary should make all the speeches. So, then, I will merely say that nos where could we have been given warmer welcome than we, as guests, have received in Globe

 J. K. Lynch stirred the sympathes of those present by his prediction fot the futures of Arizona and California futures which he held, for industrial reasons, were very closely connected.
 George J. Stoneman in a talk onI "The Ladies'" paid the fair sex an eloquent tribute to which he gave humorous ending and then proposed toast to womanhood, which was drunk standing by all present.
 M. E. Mccarthy aroused the enthu- siasm of the bankers with an enthusi- astic description of Globe district $ | mineral resources. One of MT. McCar. | thy's forecasts was that Globe will | some day be the greatest mining city | of the Rocky Mountain region.
 J. R. Elliott, in few well chosen words, assured the visiting bankers of l the kindly feeling which the people | of Globe will always hold for them as the result of their visit here.
 Mir. Jones of Los Angeles disclaimed that he was Californian, as the toast master had remarked in introducing him. He said that inasmuch as he had lived in California three years and in Arizona nine years, he was three times an Arizonan.
 George R. Hill took as his topic, Why Is a Bankers" By brief mar rative of the history of bankers he showed that they had played more or
