shown the Aliufihom-e, some of the large
manufacturing establishments, the basin
lo. at Tenrh and Market streets, and the
Oth«»* proposed site for the new County
buil lings, the public square at Eighth
Hinl Broom streets. They were afterwards
driven to the Claytou House, where they

cumulated dust of tliuir journey from

tables, doing ample justice to the excel
lent viands which theaotive waitersnouD
set before them.
Tkr. e large tables were spread along
the length of the room, and ot o across
the Fifth street end, and when the com
pany was all seated, it was found that
something over a hundred persons were
gathered arouud the festive board. The
next half hour was a busy oi.e, all bauds
applying themselves assiduously to the
work of supplying the wants of the in
man, and getting to the bottom of the
excellent bill of rare, which was as fol
lows:
Oyster* on the half shell.
Soup— Mock turtle.
Fish—Broiled chad, maître de hotel.
Roast—Rit*s of beer, lamb with mint
sauce, chickea stuffed.
Cold dish'*--Hoiled ham, roast beef,
thicken salad, beef longue, chicken, cole
slaw.
Relishes—Chow chow, Spanish olives,
plain pickles, tomato catsup, French
mustard, mixed pickles, VVorcestershiie
sauce.
Vegetables— Mariie I potatoes,spinach,
corn, stewed tomatoes, sweet potatoes,
peas.
I*a»try—Mince pie, apple pie, lemon
cusard.
Desiert—Oranges, apples, bananas,
sponge Jake, pound cak«*, fancy mixed
oakes, va> ila ice cream, coffee and tea.

"The Bench and the Bar." In respond

stated that when he first went to Con

who had been connected with the 8
tory of Stares' office since since the Capi
tal was removed from Philadelphia, and
who informed him that the Senators from
Delaware were better and able*- lawyer
than those scut by anv other Stat**. The
Bench and Bar of Delaware, he said, had
always maintained a reputation equal to
that of any other State in this renpect,
and in conclusion he alluded to George
Heed, Milligan, Fisher, the Claytons,
Booth, Joins, Harrington, Gilpin, and
other eminent jurists of this State, clos

parriotis tu aud pure integrity (fq

by which other people would know what

ner her claims upon the State. He also
earnestly thansed the members of the
Legislature for the passage of the Court
House bill, and «ordially welcomed them
to the city.
City Treasurer Vincent was also called
on for a response to this toast, an«
lated some interesting items of State his

To this toast Representative Edwin R.

response. He 8*i«l that be bad just

said he met with so much opposition iu
the Legislature that the best way to
cine the passage of a measure was to get
him to oppose it.
An impromptu toast to "Red Lion and
Sr. George's Hundreds" was brilliantly
responded to by Senator C. H. McWhor

In response to repeated calls Anthony
Higgins, E-q., made a few pertinent re
marks. He said in relation to the Court
House billtiatth«- beneficial results of
the measure will be felt far into the
future, and that it-» greatest justification
is that it will bring the people of the city
aud Stale together as they are to-day.—
He wanted the feelings engendered by
this oeca-ion to continue, aud Kent aud
Sussex counties to feel that hereafter
there was no interest dear Io them that
was not also dear to the people of Wil
