Mr. Grabow on rising to respond received an ovation 
which lasted several minutes. He spoke very happily of 
his association with the members of the Luncheon Club. 
covering a number of years, and the many. friendships he 
had made through the club. — Briefly touching on the 
“Great White Fleet” he made quite a hit with the mem- 
bers of the club when he said that all the immense possi- 
bilities of New York, he had a number of times been call- 
ed upon to bring over members of the Luncheon club to 
help him in emergencies that even New York could not 
handle, and was very glad to say they had never failed 
him. 
Postmaster Murray was called upon and spoke at 
some length. Paying a very handsome tribute to the 
guest of the evening he said that it is only the United 
States of America that produces such men.as Mr. Gra- - 
bow, a man who by his own efforts and sheer force of 
will and energy had pushed him- 
self to the front, and although still 
a young man was able to carry so 
easily such great responsibilities.

tables were Henry C. Attwill, 
Attorney General of Massachu- 
setts; Charles H. Mowry, resi-
