The senate was late in. sitting, for
the reason that number of the mem.
hers were attending a performance at
the Opera House. IT met at elevea,
instead of tea:thirty o'clock. Mayor
and Mrs. John G. Lane and President
and Mrs. c. F. Chillingworth entered
the hail with many others after the
theater had closed. The senate had a
distinguished audience Of ladies and
gentlemen Senator Wirtz discovered
the mayor, and moved that the courtesy
of the senate be extended. Mayor Lane
was escorted to a seat beside the presi-
dent. Then, quite as surprise, to him
self as well as to the senate, Governor
Pinkham entered the senate 5 side door.
He was looking to see IL the senate
had adjourned. Senator Writ was
making a presentation speech, ad-
dressed to President Chillingworth,
telling him why the senators wanted
to give him handsome watch fob,
when Senator Rice saw the Governor.
Rice hurried to the side door and es.
corted the chief executive to seat
beside the president. 3
Governor Appreciative
Governor Pinkham, following reso-
luton Of thanks extended to him by
the senate for his extreme eourtesy and
assistance to the upper house and the
members thereof, told the senators and
the assembled and appreciative audi.
ence in the gallery that this session of
the Legislature had proven remarkable
for its harmony; there had not been a
cross word to reach his ears; he had
not seen a cross face. The eourtesies
which had been extended him by the
president and by all the senators had
been even more than one would look
for; they had been extreme in cases.
He believed it had been a very success
fpl session. and he wanted to say that
it had been a great pleasure to him,
the happy association he had had with
the gentlemen Of the senate. Not that
ne had ever needed sympathy, but 1t
was good to feel the splendid spirit of
kindliness and cooperation that had
characterized the session Just closing.
