 did not sUrt until two hours later than expected. Chestnuts were few. 

 but there was an abundance of food, including some of the best beefsteak 

 obtainable anywhere. In most liberal portions. The hardwood lumbermen 

 who got up the sumptuous repast and served it in regulation chefs' uni- 

 forms were F. M. Sullivan. C. N. Perrln, Kugene Nostrand and E. .T.

 mittee A E Davenport. Peter Yeager and T. H. Wall, arc well deserving

 them. Much of the credit is due. too. to President W. P. Betts of the 

 exchange, who saw that everybody was having a good time.
