| 99From Grave to Gay.
Those who, had been delighted to see Major Handy serious were disappointed. They concluded that they were safe from the sarcasm which the sight of him always reasonably suggested. With the major last night, though, it was from grave to gay. He boyishly toyed with the auburn locks of John E. Barrett, of the Scranton T uth, and dubbed him "red-headed Johnnie." He accused Allan Foreman, of New York, of being a journalist. For some reason or another he dealt sympathetically with "Brother Ambrose," News. To W. C. Bryant, of the Brooklyn Times, he paid his 'respects as the Apollo of the association, and wound up by patting Eugene Field lovingly on the bald pate.
J. W. Scott presided at the feast. The explanations which he seemed to give seriously of the absence of some few of the publishers were heartily enjoyed. They appeared to think somehow that the explanations did not explain.
Frederick Villiers, the famous English war correspondent, was a jolly participator in the nights of festivities. He related pathetic and tragic incidents in his career as correspondent. Although he talked a long while everyone wished he would keep talking all night. So interested were his hearers that there was not a ripple of applause until he sat down.
Eugene Field Tells Stories.
Eugene Field told sóme choice stories and recited a few of his prettiest poems. The Weber quartet sang some glorious songs, Valisi's Mandolin orchestra was screened off in the balcony and sent floating down delicious music during the courses. Of all the airs they played, though, the one that was cheered to the echo was "The Bowery, where "they say such things and do such things."
Aside from the "Bowery" air this programme was tuned by the orchestra:
March-"Dudes".........................................................Wagner
Intermezzo-"Cavalleria Rusticana"............................Mascagni
Waltz"Kaiser and Kaiserin"........................................Eilenberg
Serenade-"Mandoline"...............................................Eilenberg
"After the Ball" ..........................................................Harris
Waltz-"Artist's Life"....................................................Strauss
"My Sweetheart's the Man in the Moon......................
Selection-"One Night in Havana"................................Liszt
Barcarolle-"Non Senti Amore"...................................Carpi
Bolero-"Light Invisible"............................................ Arditi
Hungarian dance.....................................................Brahms
Selection from Faust................................................Gounod
