After the dinner had been served, the Chairman, Chan- 

 cellor W. S. Chaplin, introduced Professor J. D. Butler, 

 of Madison, Wisconsin, a gentleman who had known the 

 Founder of the Garden for many years, and who spoke as 

 follows, in response to the toast of the evening — The 

 Memory of Henry Shaw. 



This banquet insures to Mr. Shaw perpetual memory. 

 So long as men have stomachs he who fills them without 

 money and without price will never be forgotten. A daily 

 dole of bread and beer at Winchester has made Bishop Blois 

 of precious memory there for eight hundred years. It has 

 drawn me to that city more than once. It has drawn thither 

 the Prince of Wales. All comers share the same gratui- 

 tous cheer, few forget the giver of their horn and crust. 

 Mr. Shaw's school-days were near this hospitality. I be- 

 lieve that he tasted it, and so learned how to build himself a 

 live-long monument. 



My first visit to St. Louis was in 1865. I was soon told 

 that if I went away without seeing Shaw's Garden I could 

 never say that I had seen St. Louis. Such was my own 

 opinion after my first morning there. On my second sur- 

 vey of the Garden I met Mr. Shaw. Our travels abroad 

 had been in the same years and our tastes were congenial.
