Convention Dinners
Tuesday was my busy day, when l
tell you | visited the convention hall
i in the forenoon and part of the after
moon and digested the many inspiring
addresses, besides accepting the fol-
lowing invitations: luncheon at the
kind invitation of Guy Mcconnell OF
Baltimore in company with the fol-
lowing guests p c.. BurtonA of the
Thirty Club of London; J.. Greenaway
of Printers Ink, London; F.. r. Rem
ington of Aldwich Club, London. We
were afterwards received by the grand
old gentleman, Ex-Governor Warfield;
then attended the convention doings
again.
The countries in whose honor the
BANQUET was given were: England,
Germany, Peru, Ecuador, Sweden,
South America, Canada, United States
and Honolulu. The arrangements for
the banquet were like all the ar
rangements these Baltimore live wires
took hold of-simply perfect. w.
Strau1l McCurley was chairman of the
banquet committee and he was the
right man properly placed. He ap-
pointed escorts for the special guests
OF the banquet and from 1890 until
after 800 the doings were full OF
mirth and good fellowship.
Good Fellowship. =. .>.-.. :.
After President Shea called upon
Mr.. Carol ]. Swan to act as toast
master, his Introductory remarks were
so conyivial that every man trans
formed himself for the night into
King Carnival. The funny stunts car
ried out were too numerous to men
ton, but perhaps one OF the funniest
things performed was by a Boston
delegate of $40, pounds weight who
rushed into the banquet hall and fell
in dead faint at the toaStmasters
feet. The POSTMASTER took off his
coat and wrapped it around him and
demanded to know what he had.
81 have message from Mayor Gay
nor OF New York, ~ he answered.
Lets have it," shouted the ban
queters. >--.-... =.- i.
Mayor Gaynor says that Mayor
Preston of Baltimore will be ousted
from the Union of Mayors. He has
fallen from grace; he has Joined the
advertising brigade and believes in
publicity -. ...
This created roars of fun. Another
stunt sprung upon the diners was the
toastmaster's speech saying he would
introduce the one man who made the
Baltimore convention success. The
man." he said, deserved everybody s
thanks for he was tireless worker"
He said he would ask the great man
to rise to his feet. and Immediately
five of the great leaders sprang to
| their feet and all started to respond
to the toast at once. 1t was a night
of some doings. l can't begin to tell
