Jamestown day, which occurred on May 14, was celebrated in true Old Dominion fashion by a number of exiles from Virginia who are living in New York Maj. Roger Marchetti, judge advocate of the Army, acting as host. Smithfield ham of the most illustrious lineage, from the breed and rearing of the porcine to its slaugh- ter and smoking, and, last of all, to the exact cooking of that delectable viand, was the principal dish.
