Presidential Luncheon.

the history of Davenport's restau-
dent Taft, at the Hall of the Doges
at 1890 o'clock tomorrow. The
banquet hall presents the appear
ance of veritable apple orchard,
with the cluster of apple limbs hav-
! ing the finest apples in the state of
Washington draped around the al
cove encircling the whole room.
The apple limbs are SO arranged
that the president can obtain the
best possible view of the fruit from
where he sits at the head of the
table.
The promenade presents the ap-
pearance of a vineyard, with the
grape vines artistically arranged
and the fruit clinging to the vines.
The decorations are the most
unique in the history of any ban
quet in Spokane. The apple limbs
were sent by the commercial clubs
at Chelan, Wenatchee and Green
F., Bluff. The menu for the luncheon
| is most unique. 1t contains three
sheets. On the first sheet the
| words, Luncheon to the President
| of the United States" is printed at
the top. Underneath these words
| is the coat of arms of the United
States, with the spread eagle hold
ing the olive branch in one claw
and the arrows in the other. The
10 stars will form a circle with the
cut of the president in the center
Underneath this is inscribed the
J words, Given at Spokane, WASH,
Sept. 2S, '09, Hall of Doges, Dav-
| EXPORTS"
On the second page of the menu
the presidents flag is crossed with
the American flag, both in colors,
| underneath which is printed the
| words, Toast to the President of
the United States, Judge George
Turner" Next is the address of
the president, and cut of the
white house is printed at the bot
tom of the page. The third sheet
| contains the menu, together with
the wine list. In the left hand cor
ner at the top of the sheet is
printed cluster of : apple limbs
containing red apples, carrying out
the scheme of decorations, In the
| right hand corner at the bottom of
| the page is an old fashioned gather
ing basket tipped to one side, with
! apples scattered on the ground.

of the banquet hall. is in the form
of horse shoe and the president
will sit at the east end. Directly
