Phone 5 STORY OF THE BANQUET. At Reported to the Publio and Told In Shop. AS it was printed: Yonkvllle'g wit tiest and cleverest people com bined to do honor last night to the distinguished guest of the city, Hon. Charles E. Benkins, at a banquet held In the dining room of the Yonk vllle House. From the moment that (bo waiters placed the oyster cocktail it each place to the brilliant perora tion of the lust speaker the affair was a feast, first of delicious viands and afterward of epigram, wit and oratory, The menu was elaborate, the service perfect; the cut glass, sliver and snowy napcry gleamed under the diffused ra dlance of the electric lights, and the scene was rendered still more attrac' tlvo by the flower at each plate and the Interwoven flags that partially bid the celling. Mayor Bloom acted as toastmaster and proved amply equal to the ameni ties of the position. lie was ebullient with facile Jest and delightful pleaa- sntry, having a bonmot for every guest and a story to fit each speaker as he was introduced. Space forbids a detailed chronicle of ths toasts, now glowing with gentle hiMQior, now sparkling like the effer vesccnt champagne which bubbled In evcty glass, now tinged with the deep er hues of oathos or flaming with the fires of oratorical splendor, but the summation of It all is found in the statement that tlio banquet was a typical Yonkvllle success. As told In the newsroom: "Gimme a cigarette, Martin; I'm all In. The old man sent me to cover a big feed at the Yonkvllle House, given for Charlie Benkins. Good fellow, Benkins, but the hosts were the same old bunch of frowsy wits that always give banquets In this man's town. "Say, they've told the stories they've all been telling at every banquet for the past ten years, and It wasn't enough for Bloom, our worthy mayor of course they had him for funeral director It wasn't enough for him to stop with the list of mopes on the pro grain, but he called on every blooming antediluvian who had helped to pay for the feed, until even the most per slstent banqueter present was praying the next mau would get cramps and perish in a fit. "Bloom dug up all the ancient ones his grandfather bad sprung when he presided at a banquet to Stephen A. Douglas In 1854, but they got the big laugh all right. Why shouldn't they? Ue had tho wholo city hall there to make a noise like mirth. "As for the grub well, a flock of os triches would have found it palatablo, but to make human beings eat It was a violation of the laws against cruelty to animals. x "That crowd of senile nonogenarlans they call waiters only spilled soup on half the guests, and for fully a third of tho time they filled the glasses with out running them over on the cotton tablecloth. They had Hhine wine and seltzer Instead of champagne, but no body knew the difference. "Decorations? Same they had in 188D they never have taken them down. Tho flowers must have cost 'em all of 10 cents the dozen. And when It camo to the speeches colonel, I've sat through three-hour sermons and never yawned, but only a speedometer could have kept tab on the number of my yawns when the spoechmaklng began tonight.
