In the words of President | C. Reed of the Pennsylvania society. II WdS the most enjoyable banquet ever tehdered by one state society to another, for while it was an nounced that it was to be the tri- tute of one team to the other the affair readily resolved itself into Il Reception of societies.
 In all about one hundred gathered around the festive board and par took of the bountifuI spread And then when the good things had been slowed away there was a program 6f toasts and responses that brought the entire assembIage into closer re- lauons than they had ever before been. Not even on May 10, when the societies held q joint picnic at East lake park, on the occasion when the tug-of- Warsmen from the Keystone st>te pitted their prowess against those from the Empire state was there such fellowship as that mani Tested last evening

Mrs. W NJ Higgins, Charles Higgins, Mrs. r. Horning, ". NJ. Higgins, Mrs. Martin. Mrs. An drew Downing. W. D O'Neil. In responding to the toast To the ! Winners of the Tug of War" w. NJ. l Higgins, read poem, written hy II. l r. Lindsey specially for the occa- ! sion. The poem follows. Come now the mighty men If war, i Thirteen. thirteen stout and strong. | Al the Tug they now endure. Brave the contest hard and long. l Cracking ropes they do not heed, Pennsylvaniu and New York never l

 Tiu in triunph tHey cross the
 .liu. Y,e bot who this contest won, By whom and how was this work Stop. look and listen and you shall
 hear. And this matter Of moment will
 be quite clear. McEIroy. Reed and Coach Corrigan, Against Higgins Brothers, Mckean'
 Sullivan, With all their packers and boosters
 and bets, Made thing quite interesting is
 anything gets. However. we're beaten. tis fair to
 admit That the penns>Ivanfa line up
 sliIlfuIy did 1t. The prize is this banquet. The New
 Workers give il. Not oniy the prize but our good
 will go with it.
 But wherever you Iool. for success, 1
 you see signs. That you never can see except be-
 tween lines. Though signs of preparing were
 made quite evident, No one would believe they were
 quite so prevalent But however and what the result of
 the mill The truth will come out as oft
 murder will. The result was due to the skill ana
 the plan, of your Coach Corrigan, q real
 New York state Man. So York. though she yields to the
 strains of the Penn. And freely admires the laddles Una
 won, Is quite confident that Pennsylvania
 men, should not boast too much of
 their gain and our fate, When they're helped out by men
 from the Empire State.
