every respect. Nothing OF finer quail
ty in its line has ever been attempted
In Ridgway, and the event was one,
which to employ hackneyed express
sion, "will long be remembered by
those participating" The committee
having the arrangements In charge
spared no pains in planning the affair,
and the management Of the Bogert
saw to it that the hostelry's end of the
program was carried out to perfection.
The large dining room was brilliantly
lighted and the tables were handsomly
decorated with smilax and red roses.
The service was splendid and nothing
seemed. wanting to complete the occa-
sion. Beautiful and enhancing music
was rendered by the Cosmopolitan Or
chestra, and the Aerial Quartette, con-
sisting of Harry Mead, Jack Collins, E.
J. Weis and J. W. Jepson, rendered
a number of selections, Mrs. J. w.
Jepson acting as accompanist. The
members of the orchestra occupied
seats behind an embankment of palms
and potted plants in the rear end of
the dining room. The musical pro-
gram carried out was as follows:

The guests were delighted with the
music. In both quality and quantity
it was extremely gratifying. The rem
ditions by the quartet and the solos
by Messrs. Jepson, Mead and Collins
proved most pleasing and won many
compliments for the singers.
The menu was in keeping with the
character of the occasion, and 1t is
needless to state, like the music and
the singing, was heartily enjoyed. 1t
approached such perfection as to re- j
feet great credit upon the Bogert
management, chef, and others who
had to do with it's preparation, and
was discussed by the members of the
bar and their ladies in a way that
showed how we'll they are able to ap-
preciate "a good thing'' when it is
spread before them. The ladies re-
ceived special favors of sweet peas and
lilies and the gentlemen of roses.
Judge Harry Alvan Hall, president
of the Elk County Bar Association,
acted as toast master, and none needs
to be told that he proved more than
equal to the occasion. One of the
items on the bill of fare was ''roast
Clinton County Turkey, Cranberries,"
and the Judge raised laugh when he
declared that he felt inclined to regard
this as reflection on himself. 1t will
be recalled that His Honor shot one of
the Clinton county birds last fall. The
turkey served was all right, anyway,
no matter whether it was wild or do
mesticated or from what county it
came.
The oratory that flowed in response
to the toasts was eloquent and witty
and added additional zest to the even
ing's enjoyment. "These Annual Ban.
quets," was responded to by WA. Nc
Clure, the Johnsonburg attorney and
editor. "The Democracy of Justice
the jury" was the theme assigned to
George F. Greiner, F. w. McFarlin
responded to ''The District Attorney
and w. w. Barbour to "The Outlook
for the Young Attorney"
Hon. B. w. Green, of Emporium,
the guest Of honor, closed the speak
ing in an address dealing with matters
of interest and concern to the associa-
tion, and which was one of the even-
ing's features.
