Braves Who Sat About the Festal Board and Heard Patrlotic Speeches. Nearly a hundred members of the leagne and their friends were seated about the tables in the banquet-room of Delmonico’s restaurant last evening when the gath- ering was called to order by President A. D. Lemon of the Iroquois Ciub. The apartment was 'decorated with palms and choice flowering plants, the table being buried in a profusion of blos- soms and green branches. About the tables were seated Democratic war horses, young and old, who did ample justice to the bountiful repast. In the northend of the room, draped with the National colors, was a large pic- ture of General Washington, and at the opposite end on an easel was 2 portrait of Wiliiam J. Bryan, whose name was ap- plauded to the ectio whenever rentioned. Judge Lemon, in a neat and appropri- ate speech, weicomed ths guests of the evening, and dedicated the banquet to the memory of Washington and the cause of constitutional government, which, he said, had been begun by the father of this country, perpetuated by the nen of Jefferson and adhered to by every Demo- cratic President since the latter’s time, Adfter the good things that were brought on bad been disposed of from blue points to the nougatine of vanilla, Toastmaster Louis Metzger ecalled for the reading of the answers that had been received from prominent men of the country in response to invitations to be present. - posse Telegrams and letters expressing regret atnot being able to attend the gathering and banquet were received from William J.

Eloquent Addresses, Music and a Sonnet ip Honor of the Patriot. William M. Bunker on the Boyhood of Washington—Rpid Growth of the Society. The California Society of the Sons of the American Revolution celebrated the natal day of Washington by an elaborate banquet last night at the Occidental Ho- tel. The large dining-hall, in which covers were laid for 140 persons, was beau- tifully decoratea and festooned with flags. Sidney M. Smith, the president, cccupied the chair at the heaq, and among those present were Colonel W. M. Shafter, Colonel 8. M. B. Young and others con- spicuous in the army and navy, as well as distinguished citizens. On the cover of the menu was an origi- nal design, showing Columbus rocking & cradle, by Miss Caroline L. Cook of the Sketeh Club. A printed poem, entitled, *‘Mount Vernon,” by Charles 8. Greene, was handsomely illustrated by one of the young ladies belonging to the Daughters of the Revolution, with the picture of Washington and his country home. It was sealed with a stamp belonzing to the Washington family. One of the principal peakers was Wiliiam M. Bunker of the Keport. The toasts and responses were as foliows: Introductory remarks by the president, Sid- ney M. Smith; “The Spirit of Washington's Time,” Aimarin P. Paul; “Washington the So.dier,” "Colonel ‘Frank’ W. Sumner; “The French Republic,” Alexandre Laurence de Lalande; ““Washington as Boy and Man,” Wii- linm M. Buoker; ““Washington the Surveyo: (Z. U. Dodge), read by Charles L. P. Marais; “Mount Veriion,” Charles S. Greene; “The Swiss Republic,” Alfred A. Borlini. A number of the speeches were very happy and eiicited much applause. Mr. unker responded to the toast “Washing- ton s Boy and Man.” He said in part: He was a_proud, mettlesome, dignified bo; with & temper and will of his own and & fond ness for athletic sporis. Alihe age of 14 he romped in recess with the largest girl in school and thus early showed a regard for the fair sex that (o the lust was one of his leading and most admirable traits. He ever held woman in respeciful_admiration, and while shy as a reporier under some circumstances, in the presence of the fair ones he was always Wasuington inherited his military spirit from tne great-grandiather who, eighty years before the birth of this great-grandson, was the hero ot coonia: Indiau wars; his physique came from his mother and nis eariy training and education were due 0 the two elder brothers with whom he went to live at the age of 11. At 17 Washington was county surveyor t & salury of a year; later ad- jutant of & Virginia military district, then aid to Bracdock, then ®& burgess und later & generei and siatesman. He was singularly modest, and, strange may appear to those familiar with the publ men of to-day, he, blushed at words of pealsc. Eiccted chuncellor of Wiliam and Mary Col- iege, he wrote that he feared he was not fit for the position and thought the trustees might easiy find a better man. Imaginea public man of 97 dectining an flice on the score of his unfitness! The bravery of Washingion balanced his modesty. When we considcr the early environment of Washington and the rude methods and free style ot his neriod; when we think of the temp- tations besetting toe bandsome, high-spirited, successful young soldier; when wo recall the countless social, official aid mlitary dengers surrounding him, we are amazed beyond measure that he passed through the ordeal without & single staiv, that he elways bore .he white plume of a biameless life, and that to- day, knowing him 8 boy and man, we, asa. people, and all the free peoples of the earth, can meet ona common plane and join in his eapotheosis. About twenty years ago the California Society of the Sons of the American Revo- lution” was organized in San Francisco. The society is composed of lineal male de- scendants of the patriots who assisted in establishing American independence. All applicants for membership must be able to present documentary or other sat- isfactory evidence that they are lineal descendants of sires who were loyal to, and rendered active serviee in, the cause of American independence. This condi- tition of memtership is indispensable, and must be without flaw. The managersof the society are: Sianey M. Smith, president; Edwin Bonnell, sec- retary: Colonel J. C. Currier, senior vice- president; Hon. Horace Davis, junior vice-president; Charles H. Warner, treas- urer; William Scouyler Moses, marshal; Colonel A. 8. Hubbard, register; Roberts Vandercook, William M. Bunker, Z. U. Dodge, M. L. Requa and A. B. Paul. The roll of the society shows 230 names and additional members are being gained at tke rate of twelve a month. A singvlar circumstance and one verv unusual at most banquets was that every seat was filled. It was one of the largest and finest gatherings that has been secn in a long time. Explanation.

' The Word “hieh” means high barometric pressure and is usually accompanied by falr weather: “low” refers (o low pressure. and is usually preceded and accompunled by cloudy weather and rains. “Lows” usually first appear on the Wasbington const. When the pressure is high in_the interior and low along the coast, and the isobars extend north and south ulong the coast, rain is probable: but when the “low s inclosed with isobars of marked curvature, rain south of Oregon is improb- able. With a “high” in the vicinity of Idaho, and the pressure falling to the California coast, warmer weather may be expected in_summer and colder weather in winter. The reverse of these conditions will produce an opposite result. WEATHER BUR:AU REPORT. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL TURE. WEATHER BUREAU, SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22,1897, 5 p. M.
