Wedn esdsy evening the banquet of the
York and Oxford delegations was held
at the Augusta House, and was one OF
the pleasantest social events of the ses-
sion. Invitations were extended by the
members of the delegations TO their
friends, and in the dining room were
seated about one hundred and fifteen
men from the two counties named, and
from other parts of the state. A fine
menu was enjoyed, which included a
barrel of Holsters contributed by the
York delegation. Representative Horace
Mitchell of Kittery, who was q very
active working member of the commit
tee of arrangements, served as toast
master for the after-dinner program, and
appropriate responses from select list
of some of the ablest men of the state
were hugely enjoyed.
1t has been something of a week OF
baDquets, the Democratic members of
the legislature and their friends having
one at the Augusta House Tuesday ever
ing which was hig bly, successful affair.
1t 10 almost surprising to one not
familiar with the appearance of the state
house during legislative session, to
see the number Of people who will come
In for the hearings on important bills.
Three days during the past week there
were numerous bearings before several
committees, and the state house held
crowds each afternoon.
There was nothing remarkable in the
fact of something like hundred people
appearing for both sides in the forty
eight hour law bearing Tuesday, but
the presence of large number at the
hearing on the slaughter house bill
Wednesday, mainly to protest against a
licensing system, was less TO be expect
ed; and on Thursday the proposition to
submit to the voters of Waterville q new
city charter brought about seventy five
from that up-river city, either to favor or
oppose the proposed charter. These
are just a few of the most important
hearings; and with six or eight COM
mi,tees giving bearings in various parts
of the building, the state house is q
lively place during the mid-week days.
Results in the form of acts finally
passed or thrown into the discard are
now beginning to appear, and the SEES
siOns of the TWO houses on some days
have extended to = length of three or
four hours, besides the afternoon and
be- n-tiDes work of the committees.
