AT THE“ SECOND ANNUAL BAN- OUET OF THE ORGAN} ZATION. It is proposed to build a new and' more modern building on the present site of the Norwalk Catholic club head- quarters -on West avenue, but it is safe to say that the chances are that it will seldom if ever be filled with a happier and more contented gathering of the club members and friends than assem- bled last night in the quaint but “roomy old house” in attendance at the second annual banquet of the club. ' Previous to the banquet the guests were shown about the building, and various games and social intercourse whiled the time away until 9 o’clock: when the committee having the matter in charge escorted the guests to the banquet hall, the walls of which had been tastefully draped with American flags, standing out in bold relief being a large and handsomely framed pic- ture of George-Washington. “ Nearly all'of the available space on the floor was covered by the “ban- quet board” and chairs. In a remark- dbly short space ‘ of, time the guests were seated. , . Toastmaste'r‘ John J; “055455.411 well comed the guests in a pretty speech in which he voiced the sentimentof those present by saying “The club though young is bound to.provea permanent institution of the town.” He said that the membership included priests and laymen, physicians and lawyers, Cath- _ olics, non-Catholics, Republicans. Ablessing-was then asked by Rev. John T. Winters, which all received standing w1th bowed heads. . And then, to pleasing strains of music Democrats and by theVTwin City Mandolin club, the. Blue Points began to disappear. The menu complete and which was heartily enjoyed was as follows: MENU.~ , ' Blue Paints. Cold Roast Turkey Cranberry Sauce Chicken Croquettes Cold Spring Pig Boiled Ham Saratoga Chips Pickles Celery Assorted Cakes Lady Fingers Confectionery Nuts . Raisins Neapolitan Ice Cream ' Cofl’ee Cigars The after-dinner speeches were pre- cededby a vocal selection by John Wehle, entitled “Will 0’ the Wisp;” 1he applause was universal. As an encore, he sang equally as well “I Love You the Same Old Way.” He was ac- companied 011 the piano by Prof. E. F. Hands, who also presided at the ln- strument during the evening in a “ highly satlsfactory manner. _ The several speakers were introduced in turn, to those present by the toast- master, the first toast being, "The Church," which was responded to by Rev T. M. O’Brien, whospoke feeling- ly on the subject, and was warmly ap- plauded. N Attorney John J. VV. alsh responded to the toast, “The United States. ” He started off by saying,r that he had been. provided with a large subject, but he handled it in an eloquent manner and proved beyond peradventure that he had delved in history in a no small way, succinctly giving a history of the United States from its founding to the present day. He was warmly applauded. . Harry Pepper than V sang “Mollie Bawn” with such voice and expression 4 - a Macaroons. . J. W. Scully, Rev. J. that it elicited for him spontaneous ap- plause, and in answer sang “The Low Backed Car,” and was again greeted by richly deserved . plaudits. Attorney John H. Lightwas down to answer to the toast of "The Greater N orwalk.” I ' Mr. Light prefaced his remarks with some very pat stories. He was heartily in favor of consolidation, and“ thought that the greatest stumbling block in the way of bringing such result about was selfishness. He said that he considered it, the duty of every citizen toinvestigate, and do all in his power for a change. Rev. John T. Winters replied to the toast, “Clubs and Their Influences.” He said that he was in favor of clubs with one qualification, «and that was that they should not take the place of home associations. He thought that the club might be made of much value to young men in the way ofltheig intel- lectual and meral advanceme'nt. The toast “ 'Woman” was ailsigoed to P. E Masterson, and a stranger .tGhave—~ heard his address would not for a mo- ment imagine that he was\a bachelor of a pronounced order. He paid a high tribute to the sex in general and spoke especially of the great amount offgood the women had and were still doing in N orwalk. He was warmly applauded. Attorney H. W. Gregory responded to the toast, “Abraham Lincoln.” He commenced by saying that when first asked to answer to the toast“ he had hesitated, but on being assured that Mr. Masterson was to answer to the toast, “Woman,” he gained courage, (and those who heard him last night are glad that he did.) He handled his subject in, a masterful way. Mr. Barry Pepper then sang“Daddy.” “Our Anniversary” was assigned to Dr. W. J. Tracey, the president of the club. He said that never before was he more proud of the club. He com- plimented all who had taken part in speech and song, and spoke of the rapid progress of the club since its .19- ception. John Wehle then sang “Queen of the Earth.” Rev. J. J. Furlong was to have _re- plied to the toast “The Future of“ the - Club,” but was unable to be present. Two and three line speeches were made by R. H. Golden, John. W. Me Mahon, Stephen S. Hatch and E. S. Adams. Auld Lang Syne was sung and the second annual banquet of the Catholic club was a thing of the past. Restauranteur F. A.». Lane :was the caterer, and be filled the bill to per- fection.
