BANQUET. 



THE FIRST ANNUAL BANQUET OF THE VERMONT DAIRYMEN'S, 

 VERMONT BUTTER AND CHEESE-MAKER'S AND VERMONT 

 MAPLE SUGAR MAKER'S ASSOCIATIONS WAS HELD 

 IN KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS HALL, ST. JOHNS- 

 BURY, VT., WEDNESDAY EVENING, 

 JANUARY 4, 1899. 



Three hundred ladies and gentlemen sat down to tables well 

 ladened with the necessaries of life, provided by S. D. Atwood, 

 caterer, St. Johnsbury. 



Mr. Atwood has received many compliments for his man- 

 agement of the affair and the thanks of all are likewise due 

 to the waiters for the very excellent service rendered, to the 

 orchestra for the fine music, and to Mr. Scarff of Burlington, 

 who added much to the pleasure of the evening by giving sev- 

 eral of his original dialect recitations. 



Divine blessing was asked by Rev. Thomas Tyrie of St. 

 Johnsbury. President Smith then told one of his good Metho- 

 dist stories, which had, as usual, a very taking effect, and intro- 

 duced Hon. C. J. Bell of East Hardwick as toastmaster, which 

 position he most acceptably filled. 



Gov. Smith and Lieutenant-Governor Bates were present, 

 as well as many other prominent men of our own State and from 

 Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Canada.
