In. Nil lu.l's address was a schol i.i I > effort, delivered hi his inim- , it.iblc felicitous style. :t Ralph Bingham proved a riot of ; ; l. inior and laughter. The gleam < of Imyish mischief in his eyes uml't the chuckle in his cheek was irrcs- , i-til le. His fund of jest and ancc- | ilote seemed inexhaustible. Incidentally Mr. Bingham essay- | ,cl to analyze the various forms of j j( new specimcqa of each class. Finally Mr. Bingham took his audience with him on an imagin- . ary possum -hunt, with ex-Presi-dent Taft, way down south, and by the time the 'possum turned out to be a bear, the one hundred and lit- ' t . jruests around the table were wilted and exhausted with luugliter h The president^ of the Ocean City ' Fishing Club, W. II. Tyers, sat at " the light hand of the toastmnstcr, s lu face wreathed in smiles. In a hrief speech he expressed the a thanks of all to the committee ! • which had worked so unremittingly ! h

towards making the banquet a suc-j cess and made special mention of j Mr. Robert Vollum in this respect, j Fed by an orchestra ami n most I efficient 'song leader, the anglers | made the welkin ring with Gallagher ami Sheen, and various other classical melodies.' A fine array of prizes were ilis- , - ii .hotel nmtmg- the guests, Toastmaster Shellctiltcrger and Ralph Bingham acting as the agents and 1 representatives of Lady Luck.

Did you ever hear about ; a King John of England who lost; "is crown and his jewels and other »hat nota in The Wash"? Well, he! did. 'S fact! You see, it was this : way. John got a little tired of his! Home town. He was -an awfully! "■•patient fellow, don't you know, j tjuite a horncry cuss. He thought, [t would pay him (tetter to have: JWnself and his things done by1 high class French people. His wife! had warned him a dozen times or| more of what would result if he; took she chance. Women do know!! John got a lot of his friend's stuff j |n with his, just to make a show-' tag... _ and lie did. Gee! but, wFrcTii.ic'0Re friends of his mail: Vr'henv'"}y lost their test undies, j flannel pantaloons and their anti-; macassars that ha dbeen given' them for wedding presents. They; laid then .revenge on foolish John-; "V by making him sign n paper which forbade him trying such; pranks any more. 1 think they 1 rolled that contract the Magna Carta. So you see, it pays to have j your stuff done at home. You - know the people who are to do it. . and they know you. You can call 1 them up or bawl them out, whichever you like, at a moments notice. But we should advise you to use' the phone. It is more modern. Our , "amber is 117-J. Don't forget. The Ocean City Laundry is the laundry : you. Good-day.
