The celebration will likely take the form of a public meeting to be held under the auspices of the New York Bar Association, of which Mr. Evarts was for many years a fore most leader. William H. Evarts played an impor tant part in the history of his coun try. He won distinction as Jurist, as an orator and as a statesman. In many important crises he, helped to shape the policy of the nation, and when he sought retirement, bowed un der the burden of years, his counsel.? were still eagerly sought by leadeis in every field of activity. His career at the bar was an almost unbroken series of splendid triumphs, -and caus ed him to be twice selected for cabi net offices. He served as attorney general undo President Johnson and as secretary of state in the Hayes ad ministration.
