BURNHAM GIVES A BREAKFAST.

One Hundred and Six of His Associates in the Great Work the Guests.

One hundred and six invited guests enjoyed yesterday morning the hospitality of Director of Works Burnham in a breakfast given in Music Hall at Jackson Park. Yesterday marked presumably the close of Mr. Burnham's work. He has built the Fiar, and has he surveyed the completed buildings he felt grateful to the many who had aided him in efforts. So he decided to give a breakfast and to it he invited the architects, artists, directors, and others who have been associated with him in the work.

At 10 o'clock most of those invited were present, and they took seats in the hall where the orchestral performances are to be given. They were agreeably surprised when a few minutes later Theodore Thomas' big orchestra of 120 pieces began for their benefit a rehearsal. At the conclusion of the rehearsal Mr. Burnham led his guests to recital hall, which is up-stairs and at the rear of the concert-room. Here the guests were seated at four tables, three of them ran east and west, and along their eastern and extended the fourth table. At its center in the seat of honor was Mr. Burnham, on his right Frederick Law Olmstead, and on his left Theodore Thomas. On the tables were beautiful cut flowers, and about the room were ferns, and potted plants which Uncle John Thorpe furnished for the occasion. All the decorations were of superior character and the menu sufficiently tempting. It ran thus:

Strawberries.
Broiled white fish, cucumber salad.
Lamb chops, with green peas.
Broiled spring chicken, potato croquettes.
Lettuce salad.
Coffee and cheese.
Montraehet, Chateau La Rose, Monopole, club
dry, cigars, and cordials.
