156 WITH MR. CHAMBERLAIN IN THE 



George's Hall, where we were received by more 

 leading members of the organisation, and inspected 

 Sulley's painting of Queen Victoria, which hung 

 in the main hall, and had just come back 

 from England, where it had been sent for her 

 Majesty's Jubilee. After this ordeal we drove to 

 the Lafayette Hotel, where we had engaged rooms 

 for our brief visit. 



There was, however, but a short rest for us here, 

 as we had to attend a large banquet at five o'clock, 

 given by the Society of St. George, at the Union 

 League. They gave us a very good dinner, as will 

 be seen from the menu. Mr. Samuel Lees, the 

 President, sat at the head of the table, with Mr. 

 Chamberlain on his right and Mayor Fitler on his 

 left. I suppose there were about a hundred present, 

 all told, consisting mostly of the leading members of 

 the Society and their invited guests.
