JON’S Mayor's chief duty is to see that his constituents have plenty to eat and drink; At the annual banquet the Lord ‘Mayor gave a few weeks ago there/was a variety and quantity of food. which surpassed even the Sullivan Christmas dinner, | and so far as the supply of drinks | went it is ul whether any | public dinney at the Waldorf, Del- monico’s oe Sherry's equals it. The city of London ‘has a popu- lation of only 26,923, of about one- two hundredth of the population of the twenty-eight municipal boroughs | which make up London. The city ls an old institution which exists for) the traditional purpose of electing Aldermen and Mayors. The Mayor on. | his election provides a street parade, which corresponds in London to’the | circus parade in an American country town. He also provides two din- | hers, at one of which the Aldermen and Liverymen dine, and at the ‘other the several thousands of less distinguished and poorer population. : The bill of fare of the dinner is substantially the same from year jt year. The custom fs centuries od, and the plan of the dinner has a! Tike antiquity. | The principal dishes are turtle soup, roast beef and game pics. - For! ‘the thousand guests there were provided 400 quafts of turtle soup, al-| i most a pint apiece; 300 pounds of roast beef, 100 casseroles each of _ | pheasant and partridge, 150 mousse of lobster, 150 paigns of snipe, 60 1 game pies, 100 tongues, 200 jellies, 200 pastries and 200 moulds of ices. | * Note the’ lack of vegetables and salads and the enormous quantities | of. meat and game. 2 : Also, has any reader ever partaken of a paign of snipe?
