Everybody drank from Mr. Burnham's loving
cup. It was that magnificent token of esteem
which was given Mr. Burnham at the
banquet in his honor held recently in New
York. Mr. Burnham.'was the first speaker,
though the speakıng was wholly informal. He
gave a brief résumé of what had been accomplished
and the status of affairs. He had
many kind words for the achievements of
Mr. Olmsted and a toast was drank to the
latter's health. Mr. Olmsted cares more for
landscape gardening than speech making, so
he responded but briefly. Thomas B. Bryan,
Commissioner at Large of the Exposition,
paid a beautiful tribute to Mr. Burnham's
success as Director of Works, and then he recurred
to the two artists who have passed
away since they became connected with the
Exposition. They were John W. Root, the
architect, and H. S. Codman, the associate of
Mr. Olmsted in landscape architecture. As a
fitting token of esteem to their memory the
company rose and stood for a few moments
with their heads bowed in silence. Director
Lyman J. Gage had much to say of
the beauties of the architectural
splendor afford in the White City.
Director Ferd W. Peck felt called upon to
speak in the name of the Exposition, the City
of Chicago, and the people of the republic, of
the appreciation which they had for the people
who had made the Fair. James S. Norton
devoted a short speech to Sunday opening.
He said that from a religious standpoint
the Fair should be open Sunday.
During the several hours which the breakfast
lasted there were two military bands performing
where the orchestra had rehearsed.
Many of those invited could not be present,
but sent regrets. Among those in attendance
were:

Milward Adams, J. Fred Aytoun, O. F. Aldis,
Maitland Armstrong, C. B. Atwood, J. W. Alvord,
Dankmor Adler, C. K. G. Billings, Thomas B.
