The generous hospitali- ty of the occasion and the delight every one felt in the presence of Mrs. Lamont were manifested on every side. When toasts were in order Col.

It was “To the Secretary of War and Mrs. Lamont, who have done more to bring har- mony into our midst than any other ad- ministrative force—without regan to poli- tics.” These and other little incijents of a similar nature gave the event such a dis- tinctively pleasant character that it will be long remembered by both the guest cf honor, Mrs. Lamont, and the rest of those who participated.

Result of a Church Protest. The Dumbarton Avenue Church represen- tatives complaining about the proximity to their house of worship of a restaurant of Wm.

McCoy's, by actual measurement, it is said, has been found to be within 300 feet of the church. Notes. Mr. J. T.
