Commercial Club. the Scene of
Brilliant Gathering of
Business Men.
LAST IN THE OLD QUARTERS.
BY the Time of the Next Similar Affair
The Club VIII be Housed I'm
Its Own Building.

Inc clShth annual banquet of the
Commercial club which was held Sat
urnay night nj the club rooms in West
Temple street was at the same time
the most successful and the last which
VIII be- given in the present quarters
Before another year rolls around the
splendid new building in Exchange
place Will long have been completed
and another great stride made which
VIII boost the organization into the
upper strata of like associations
throughout the great metropolitan
cities of the country.
The affair was notable In a number
of ways, first of all. in the absolute per-
| iection of arrangements and the ea-
cellence OF programs, mental and phys-
lcal. During the four hours and more
that the table was surrounded and the
! rooms thronged there was not the sus-
| picion of hitch and the entertainment
went along with the splendid precision
OF we'll fabricated machinery The dec
orations were tasteful and nothing was
lett to be desired with the possible exs
ccption OF the presence of number of
members prominent in tho affairs eof
the club. who were absent from the
city. Two more notable Honcs were
Gov Spry and Samuel Newhouse. .tc-
The president, w. j. Hallorzan. in
troduced the POSTMASTER of the eve
ming. William II King. with a few
choice words of commentator. Judge
King fully lived up TO his reputation as
an after-dinner director of ceremonies
his introductions being felcitous and Of
an eminently proper length. And all
.f
ience had placed all In the most prop
erly receptive mood for the toasts
which were to follow
THE TOASTS.
Frank S. Murphy, chairman of the
banquet committee, first started tho
nlerriment by describing wittily the
trials and tribulations of providing cpl
curcan delicacies for the event Judge
King took the opportunity OF the fol-
lowing introduction to pronounce a
glowing and tender eulogy upon the
late Fisher Harris, secretary of the
club. and yielded the floor to III. l.. A.
Culmer. lifelong friend of the clubs
organizer. MIR. Culmer delivered the
address prepared by Judge C. C. Good
win for the Wizard of the Wasatch.
Rev, p a. Simpkin proved one of the
wits of the evening in his response to
The Traffic Burro." After 10 min
utes of kccnly humorous dissertation,
he closed his effort with a serious com
pilation of just what has entered into
the great success of the Commercial
club and laid down lines which, he ex-
horted, should be followed in Its future
conduct.
DR.. j. F. Critchlow filed in number
which had been assigned to Edward NJ.
Allison. Jr. and Joseph E. Caine, on
Why Is the Commercial Club7" wound
up the forensic efforts of the evening
In an essay which kept the assemblascc
convulsed for Is minutes
The evenings entertainment did not
break up until the Sabbath morn had
made its appearance. The music OF
Stephenson's orchestra proved a dis
tinct feature
