KURRIE BANQUET WAS BIG SUCCESS

One Hundred Enjoyed Evening' at Which Moson President and Judge Field Were Guests. President H. R. Kurrie, of the Montan railroad, and Judge E. C. Field, the vice-president, occupied seats side by side at a banquet given by the Retail Merchants' Association at the Presbyterian church Thursday evening. The affair was arranged as the delayed recognition by this city of the election of Mr. Kurrie as president of the Momon. The plan to bald a banquet was discussed when Mr. Kurrie was first elected to the important office but he asked one or two friends at that time to discourage the plans as he wished to assume his duties without ostentation of any kind. This time, however, his wishes were not considered but the plans were made and he was notified that he was to be the guest of honor. There were 100 at the banquet, which was all who could be accommodated in the dining room. One long table extended across the west end of the room and several smaller tables were at right angles to the main table. The center places at the large label were occupied by President Kurrie and Judge Field. On the table fa front of them was a miniature train, patterned after the “Hooser Limited.’' Attorney Edward P. Honan, toastmaster, occupied the end of the table. . The banquet was well prepared and served and was fa every respect one of the most pleasant social events in which the guests had ever participated. The menu follows: Orange Ice. ; {oast Spring Lamb with Mint Sauce. 1 Ireamed ne<w potatoes. 'lew peas in patties. Hot Rolls. Strawberry jam. be kies. Olives. Radishes. Lettuce. Combination salad. Coffee. ]ce cream. Strawberries. Cake. Following the banquet Toastmaster Honan made an introductory speech, welcoming the guest of honor and embodying some of the choicest good mmor that was ever produced at a ocal affair. He introduced the speakers in a lappy manner and the responses to he toasts were fa keeping with the toastmaster's good humor and sparkfag wit. The following was the toast program:

“The City,” Mayor Sprtler. “The Merchants,” L. H. Hamilton. “The College,” Rev. A. Weyman. “The Bar,” W. H. Parkinson. “The Church,” Rev. G. W. Titus. “The Press,” Geo. H. Healey. “The Bench,” Judge Hanley. “How I Found Harry Kunfe,” Judge Field. “The Outlook,” President Kume. While all the speeches were good and many of them elicited considerable good humor, the greatest interest centered in the speeches of Judge Field and Mr. Kurrie. The former in a dignified maimer and with a deep vein of good humor kept the marked, attention of all and was interrupted several times by hearty laughter and applause. He told of the qualities that had made Barry Kurrie win and of his deep admiration far him and closed by proposing a toast to all present, wishing them all the blessings of prosperity, health and peace. Mr. Kurrie was deeply moved by the kindly sentiments that had been expressed and said that although he had practiced law in courts from the Justice of the Peace to the supreme court of the nation he had never felt the same as he felt at that time, when, surrounded by his friends who had gathered to honor him he was to try to reply to many evidences of iqjrfAng friendship and confidence. He that gdbd fortune and not special endowments had secured his advancement and that others with the same could have done equally as well. He expressed the hope that business conditions which have been bad for some time would change for the better and that all ******** would brighten up and he believed they would, has opinion being based unon a meeting last week in New York when it was the general belief of the great moneyed interests of WaH street that the foreign war would* soon be brought to a dose.
