A TOAST TO THB PRBB?BMT.
ju.ige Howland eloeed by propoelng the health
of the Presldent, whlch was .lrunk by aii atand
Ing The ladlea ln tbe boxes also rose to pay
honor to tha Executlve head of the Unlted
states and Jotaed m singing "The Btar Bpangled
Banner." with whlch the toaat was eeeoclated.
Altbough many letters of regret had b.-en re?
celved for varlous reasons by the commlttee ln
eharge Of the dlnner, cx-JudRe Howland would
permlt blmaelf tlme only to read one. This coro
munlcatlon, whlch was from Blr Thomaa Llpton,
was of pecullar Interest In vle.v of the fact that
he wlll endeavor neat year to wrest the Inter
natlonal yaehtlng trophy from the poaaeaalon
ot this counfy. Sir Thoma*. Llpton cabled to
ex-Jndge Howland:
"Pleasa eonvey to your society my hlch ap?
preciatlon of klnd lnvltatlon to banquet; also
my warmest thanks. Mueh regret imposslble to
Bttend. Upon the friendship of our race depend
the pemianent peace and prosperity of the
whole world. May the frlemlshlp grow and ln*
cr-ase; may no shadow ever fall upon lt; may
the Ptars and Strlpes and the l'nlon Jack ev.-r
float together."
The same frlendllness to EnRland whlch has
be*>n manlfest.-d so freijiiently of late at repre
sentatlve gatherinjrs was reflected by the New
FnglanderK. The suggestlon by JudRT Howland
that the health of yueen Vlctorla should be
drunk was recelved wlth the frr'-atest eordlallty,
and wlth the atldltional honor of the slnglng of
the English natlonal anthem.
In Introdiiclng the iirst regular speaker of the
evenlng?*3overnor Ellaha Dyer of ithode island
?Judge Howland, wlth charaiterlstlc fellclty,
sald that thourfi the State which Covernor Dyer
represents was si.iall, yet In the I'nlted States
Benate ll had equal repreaentatton wlth the
great state of New-Tork "it 1? a small state."
remarked JikIk- Howland amld lauirhter. "and
lt searcoly needs a telephone or a t"leKraph ser
vloe, beeauae you can hoiler across .-my measaga
you want. (Laughter.) it has not th<- advan*
tBRe that the young lady Sttggested to the youni*
rr.an. ber edmlrer, when she sald, "Oh, I love
good beef!' and tbe young man replled. *Oh, I
wlsh I were beef!' she sald, 'Never mlnd, you
wlll crow.' "
WHAT GOVERXOH DTEB BAID.
"Forefathers* Day" was tb" theme aaalgned
to Governor Dyer, aad in speahlng t,> it h- sald:
Mr Presldent .md Oentlemen of ihe New-Eng?
land Boclety: I am deeply Krat,-ful r.,r your klnd
lnvltation to !,?? wlth you thls evenlng. and for lha
honor ,,f replrlng to the aentlment just offered
