The Washington herald., 1911-02-28

Jason, formerly known as Martin Willie
Littleton, in commemoration Of his vic
tory over the dragon of Oyster Bay.
Transported demigods stood round,
And men grew heroes at the sound" "
In the topical song TO Mr.. Depew,
which was sung to the tune of What's
the Matter with Father" New York's
'shortsightedness' in not having re-
turned him TO the Senate was the point.
The verse ran:
what's the matter with Chauncry! Hes all right;
What's IT matter IL New York has short sighti
We know the and we know his worth
They haven't a better all the earth;
whoop 'er up fellows for ChAunoey He's all right.
Hardly had the strains of the Depew
song died away when from a screened
balcony a beautiful tenor voice was
heard in grand opera selections. The
diners turned to see, half screened by the
palms, asfamiliar face, singing and ges-
ticulating after a manner that would have
brought tears to the eyes of Oscar Ham
merstein-perhap "Caruso" was the
verdict 1t was the famous tenor's voice
tinued after the supposed singer had left
the scene, the mechanical nature of the
fake was disclosed. The latest wrinkle
in talking machines had been responsible
for the hoax.
The British Ambassador.
Ambassador Bryce. who was next intro
duced, spoke briefly. He said. in part:
THE university itself stood for an
ideal view of life, and the traditions
that clustered around it were elevating
and ennobling. speaking of the past and
beckoning. forward to the future. The
two oldest English universities had
much longer past to look back upon
than any American university could yet
claim, but on the other hand. here in the
United States, they had the ardor and
the freshness of youth, and they had the
sense that they were themselves now
creating traditions which would inspire
and stimulate those who came after them.
II have found no greater pleasure in
this country than in visiting and in
getting to know many of the universi-
ties and colleges and the jealous and able
men who were working there and / am
sure that no institutions in this country
are doing more for civic and social,
as well as for the intellectual progress of
the nation
Following Ambassador Bryce's speech.
the club minstrels held the stage for a
while, after which the toast 10 the
President and the ceremonies surrounding
his conclusion were staged. Following
the singing by all of "Auld Lang Syne,"
the curtain was drawn on one of the
really memorable "feasts" of the season.
