Special Despctch to THE NEW YORK HEnALD.
SOUTHAMPTON. \. y, Aug. 2S.--Those
who were guests at one Of the large din
ners at the end OF last week and others
who were not are laughing over an err
ror of the host which resulted in ninety
cocktails--reai ones--goinE TO waste.
The dinner was served at a place which
strictly adheres to the prohibition laws,
but does not prentend to dictate 10
those who dine there IL they carry along
something more powerful than ginger
ale.
1t happened that the host OF thiJ oc-
casion took with him for tia delecta-
ton of his company something in bot
ties that he wished to prepare as an
appetizer With the true instincts OF
the host he insisted in mixing the APP
petizer himself, which was no small un-
dertaking. as there were glasses to the
number OF ninety to be filed. Before
having the drinks served the host
thought he would sample one. and after
his lips had met the liquid he ejacu-
lated What the Sam HIP" or some
thing like that. The attendant maitre
d'hotel offered to try one Of the appetite
ers. and when he had done SO said
"Oh, sir. you have used salt in place
of sugar"
What became of the ninety cocktails
that contained considerably more than
one-half OF / per cent. salt Is not known.
but by scurrying around among his
neighbors the host was able to provide
his guests with the appetizers he had
promised them.
