THE EAGLE'S BANQUET.
TSE EAGLES' NEST A SCENE OF
FESTIVITY LAS'i NIGHT.
?Wade Hampton Aerie Entertain a
Large Number of Friends at a
Most Enjoyable Banquet in the
Handsome Club Rooms.
Wade Hampton Aerie, Frateral Or?
der of Eagles, which was organized
less than one year ago, gave what
might be appropriately characterized
as a house warming in the handsomely
appointed club rooms on South Main
street Wednesday evening.. Officially
the entertainment was termed the
first annual banquet, but it was more
than a banquet in the ordinary ac?
ceptation of that term, for there was
, a persuasive spirit of hospitality and
good fellowship that made the many
guests feel at home in the Eagles'
liest, and caused them to enjoy every
moment of their stay.
The guests, anft>ng whom there
"were roany ladies, upon their arrival
were welcomed by the house com
jxdttee and ushered into the richly
and attractively furnished parlor
.where they were entertained with a
piano concert until the hour appoint?
ed for the banquet arrived.
The banquet board-four long ta?
bles-was spread, two in the large
central hall of the club rooms and
two in the reading room opening off
the hall. The tables were tastefully
decorated with holly, which was the
keynote of the color scheme, red and
green, which was artistically carried
out in all the decorations. In addi?
tion to the brilliant illumination af- !
-forded by the electric chandeliers, red
candles, in crystal candlesticks and
candlebra, placed at intervals on the
taoles, diffused a ruddy glow that
softened the more garnish light from
the incandescent lights above.
The banquet, which was. served in
courses, was furnished and served
xmder the direction of Mrs. Agnes
RognVand was a dainty and delight?
ful feast of good things, beautifully
served.
The Menu was as follows:
Oyster Cocktails
Crackers Sherry Wine
..Saltines Butter Thins
Cold Turkey
Olives Salted Almonds
Cranberry Sauce French Rolls
Mixed Pickles
Vienna Bread Pickles
Chicken Salad Beet Salad
Punch
Tutti Frutti Ice Cream
Coffee Princess and Vanilla Cakes
Champagne Cigars
With the champagne and cigars
came the speeches. Rev. H. H. Cov?
ington, who presided and acted as
toastmaster, after a few felicitous in
troductory remarks first presented
Hon. W. Boyd Evans, of Columbia,
j who spoke on the "Principles of the
j Order of Eagles." He gave a brief
history of the organization of the
Order of Eagles, and followed this
interesting historical sketch with an
account of the rapid growth of the
order in all sections of America. The
concluding portion of his address
was devoted to a statement of the
I- principles and purposes underlying
the order.
Rev. C. C. Brown was next intro?
duced, the toastmaster assigning to
him the general subject of "Ornithol?
ogy." Dr. Brown discussed "birds,"
big and little, grave and gay, in a hu?
morous and mirth-provoking man?
ner, that brought him round after
round of applause.
Mr. H. C. Haynsworth responded
to the toast "The Fraternal Spirit,"
handling the subject in a serious and
j effective manner, but enlivening his
; remarks with touches of wit, humor
and anecdote.
Following Mr. Haynsworth, Mayor
W. B. Boyle, W. D. Shaw, H. C.
Rogers and others were called on by
the toastmaster, all of whom made
brief responses.
j Just before midnight the toastmas
I ter declared the festivities concluded,
! and the first annual banquet of Wade
Hampton Aerie came to an end, and
j it was voted by all to be one of the
[ pleasantest occasions of the kind
j that those present had ever attended.
_
Grateful Eagles.
? On behalf of Wade Hampton Aerie,
j Xo. 1419, Fraternal Oredr of Eagles,
i we desire to express the thanks of
j thc Aerie to Mrs. Agnes Eogin, the
? several ladies who rendered unto her
i faithful assistance, the various gen?
tlemen visitors who responded to the
call of the toastmaster, and particu
I larlv to Rev. H. H. Covington, whose j
i
I eloquence and good humor so charm
j ingly qualified him for the duty as?
signed him as toastmaster. We are
under lasting obligations to Col. W.
Boyd Evans, of Columbia, whose ad?
dress was- as pleasing as it was time
j ly. "We further desire to impress
j upon our many friends who graced
j the occasion of this, our annual ban
? quet, with their presence that we are
! truly grateful and proud over the
j representative assemblage made.

COMMITTEE IX CHARLESTON.
The Game Cock City Means to Have a
Line of the Proposed Inter-Urban
Railway.
[ Three well known citizens of the
! city of Sumter, the Hon. R. I. Man
Lning, Alderman Hugh C. Haynsworth
and Mr. Emmett I. Reardon, secre?
tary of the Sumter Chamber of Com
I vp.-vrcp, were in the city yesterday and
j attended the Commercial club smoker
I last night as the guests of President
Samuel Lapham. These gentlemen
I were here representing the city coun?
cil and the Chamber of Commerce of
Sumter to meet the party of northern
capitalists who are backing up the in?
ter-urban railway scheme of the
South Carolina Public Service Cor?
poration. An invitation was extend?
ed by the Sumter delegation to the
promoters of the inter-urban railway
to visit Sumter before returning
north. Sumter wa.nts to get a line of
the proposed railway built to the
Game Cock city. Sumter now claims
12,000 people and ali who are in the
least familiar with the town know
that its citizens will average up with
those of any other community in
South Carolina or anywhere else. One
and all they believe in Sumter with a
belief that is fixed and unchangable,
that does not vary with the seasons,
and one and all they are ever at work
for Sumter, led by such men as
Messrs. Manning, Reardon and Hayns?
worth.
Last evening Messrs. Reardon and
Haynswerth, through the courtesy of
the management of the Commercial
club, held a conference with the pro
I moters of the South Carolina Corpor
j ation, and as a result of that confer?
ence Messrs. Reardon and Hayns
[ worth are assured that the capitalists
j will, in a few months, be in a position
! to consider the proposition of con
[ structing the line from Sumter to con
j nect with the trunk line from Colum
; bia. From Sumter the line will be
i extended to Darlington and Marlboro
J and other Pee-Dee towns,
j The Sumter gentlemen said last
I night that they were very favorably
impressed with the gentlemen from
Xew York, and . that they have no
doubt of the sincerity of their pur?
pose. The promoters gave the Sum?
ter visitors to understand that they
would visit Sumter during April or
May, when the plans will be more
fully set forth. If proper inducements
are offered, and Sumter business men
show themselves willing to support
and co-operate with the capitalists,
there is little doubt but that Sumter,
together with ether cities, will soon
have improved transportation facili?
ties.-Xews and Courier.
