IfTstory, speech and sottg yaloroas deeds oCld"'THow ard Relief were sung again and again anda more fitting celebration of the invportant event in the history of the organiization could not have"been plan ned or executed. The interior of the banquet hall was charmingly decorated, the National colors of Germany, the United States and "Good Old Erin" having predom- nated. The table decorations were red and white carnations in cut glass vases with aisnes or. tulips at advan tageous positions. In the centre of the hall was a large pyramid of palms and other evergreens, giving & beauti ful setting to the whole. The decora tions were by Rehder and were made by an artistic hand ' The banquet tables were arranged in .the form of the letter "H," the toastmaster and guests of honor being seated at the head. From the orches tra gallery Hollowbush's Orchestra discoursed sweet; music adding no ! tie to tne nnesse oi tne occasion. Mr. J. G. I Gieschen, the veteran secretary of the company, presided as toastmaster and a most excellent one he made. His introduction of the speakers was gracefully and . easily done with an apt reference either, to the speaker himself or to his subject. Under Mr. Gieschen's splendid guid ance every feature oi tne eiaoorate affair passed off most pleasantly. . At a little after 9, o'clock, Rev. Fath er C. Dennen, of St. Thomas Catholic church, invoked a blessing upon the exercises of the evening. This was followed by an enthusiastic address of welcome by Mr. J. W. Duls, tne genial president of the Howard Relief Company Everyone was made to feel welcome and at ease upon the cordial words "spoken by Mr. Duls and the banquet was declared formally on. The menu was a tempting- one and was shown from handsomely priiffed souve nir leaflets embossed in. gold . and caught with silk cord. The menu was as follows: Salted Almonds Celery Olives Gerkins Cold Roast Turkey , Cranberry Sauce Sliced Tonsrue Cold Boiled Ham Chicken Salad Potato Salad "H. R. Salad ' Cream Cake in Variety .. Fruit : - . . r Coffee - 1 Appolinarls- Claret Rhinewine Sauterne Gigars Hon. A. M. Waddell, MiTyor of the city, was the first speaker introduced. He was greeted with mucn applause. His subject was "The Blending of Na tions." which he treated in a masterly way, paying a fine tribute to our German-American citizenship. In closing he spake of the admirable record of the Howard Relief Company: Its ca reer had been a respected and useful one in the community and he hoped that the blending of nations in that organization would ever be a source of pride to them and their successors, One of the most interesting , ad dresses was that of Alderman Martin Rathjen, for so many years president of the company and one of its most enthusiastic members. .Mr. Kathjen gave a very intersting history of the Howard Rehef Com nany from its organization. He said in part: ' - " - -. c "In the year. 1855, In the then town of Wilmington, there assembled a no ble band of men, their object being to form a fire company.1 These men so assembled - were mostly all stangers in a strange land as can be seen by the names appearing on the charter of the company, granted February zotn, 1859. They adopted the name Howard Relief Fire Engine .Company No.,1. The word "Howard," which was adopted in honor ef Col. William" C. Howard, nnfl of the most Donular. men oHhe day, -a high-toned gentleman, -'aha a chief magistrate of the towiu When I say -"Chief I mean Mayor, Chief, of Police, chief or captain of the How ard Relief Company. He was just such a man as a brave band of fire men would elect for-their leader. Wil liam C. Howard,! in whose honor we have named this company, sleeps in that . beautiful . city of- the dead Oak dale cemetery, having died November 24th, 1868. The second part of the company's name, the word "Relief" needs not much, explanation, as it is well known relief, as Webster says, is to help, to: aid, to "ease, to relieve, What noble expressions this v brave band added to the name of our, com pany, and how have they and we com- Dlied with this during our volunteer services. At every tap- of the -fire alarm we- have responded to the call of duty, and have rendered relief when property, was endangered by fire and destruction. When our service - was needed, the members of the 'Howard Relief Company were there. Time'has removed the originators and promoters of our organization, but : our younger generation follows us in our tracks. The first fire hand engine was nam ed the Howard in honor of Col. Wm. C. Howard, then mayor of Wilmington, This was in' the year of 1856. JThis en gine has done noble and ..faithful ser vice for a number bf years. The sec ond fire hand engine of the company- was namedthe John Dawson, In honor of Mr: John Dawson, at that time May or of Wilmington, and a promineut business man in this community... Theae (.urines and also hose reels were pull ed to fires by ropes... Pumps and brakes were worked, by the members ;of the company.

"Well do our bestr'- And this-we have done.- Mr.- Rathjen turned to the banner of the company at his rear as he conclud ed with the Inscription and was given reat applause. Ona of the happiest-responses of the evening -was b Capt James D. McNeill president of both tlrr State and National Firemen's Associations, ho came down from Fayetteville as he special guest of the company. Toastmaster Gieschen presented Capt. McNeill as a man of "vim, fire and action." The distinguished visitor in the address that followed on "The Volunteer Fireman" made good every syllable of the introduction so fitting ly given him by- the toastmaster. Capt McNeill is always a good speaker. Last night he exceeded even himself. His tribute to the. "Voluntcer,Fire m" was eloquent, ornate, pleasing. He was given most enthusiastic ap plause. " President J. Allen Taylor, of the Chamber of Commerce, spoke to the subject "Our City." Hla. address was solid,' substantial, optimistic and pleas ing to hear. Any effort at a synopsis would do him an injustice. He be lieved the developmentsof Wilmington in the last ten years was without a parallel in the South. He thought we were now on the eve of a development which was just on the threshold of its glorious fruition. Some recollections of the :Howard Relief Company, by Mr. Timothy Don Ian, the oldest, living member of the hcompany, were interesting and inter spersed with bits" of humor and local hits that brought down the house. Rev. W. A. Snyder, pastor of Saint Paul's Lutheran -Church, treated the subject, "German Settlements." His discourse was interesting and educa ; tional. In lighter vein, be spoke with the gift of a real humorist "and fre quently received continued applause at some sally of his wit. At the conclusion of Rev. Mr. Sny der's address the orchestra struck Tip "De Waeh An Rein," the.Cerman na tional air, and the house could not contain itself when, at the proposal of Mr. Snyder, "Dixie" immediately fol lowed. Mr. L. B- Rogers, president; of the Merchants : Association, Bpotee-wttK splendid effect on J'Our Business Men." He gave facts and figures' to substanti ate the optimistic view he took of the commercial situation in Wilmlnfeton and was given "more than a single round of applause. Brooke G. Empie, Esq., ex-president of the Hook and Ladder Company and State Senator from this district "was next introduced. - His response was one of the happiest of the evening and He was given applause again and again. Following the set speecnes a num ber of guests spoke extemporaneously. Among .the number were Mr. Hugh MacRae, Mayor Pro-Tem Martin O'Brien, Rev. Father C. Dennen, Messrs. D.McEachern. H E. Bonitz and Jas. Hr Cowan. - At an early hour this' morning the orchestra, played the German, Irish and United States National airs and one of the pleasantest affairs in the history of any club In Wilmington came to a magnificent close. The Fiftieth Anniversary committee . is composed of Messrs. Martin Rath jen, M. G. Tienck'en, J. G. L. Gieschen, Chas. Schnibben, J. W. H. Fuchs,'H. L. Vollers, H. E. Bonttz, C. H. Dock and C. W."

J In honor of the bride, who is quite a favorite in musical circles, the selec tion, were by an octette of eight voices, composed of Mrs. Cameron F. MacRae and Miss Nellie King, sopra nos ; Mrs. F.

The cere mony was one of the prettiest ever witnessed . In the church. The ring service was used and while Rev. N. Watson spoke the solemn words that made the couple man and wife, Prof. Kneissel played on the violin, with beautiful effect the "Angel's Serenade." The ceremony over, the bride and groom, each having plighted their vows ones to the "other, the . party lef t. church in reverse order from that In which they came, the musical selec tion having. been Mendelssohn's Wed ding march.
