TENTH DINNERIts Guests Were 140 Massil-Ion Newsboys.FEAST AT THE HOTEL SAILER.Mayor Bel! Presided and the Rev. George B. Darsie, of the Christian Church, Talked to the Boys—Afterwards the Guests Attended a Matinee Performance at the Armory.Perhaps it was owing to the presence of Mayor Bell, chief city magistrate, but be this as it may, The Independent’s tenth annual newsboys' dinner given at the Hotel Sailer on Monday at 1 o’clock was what might be cailed “the best behaved dinner” of any so far given. There were one hundred and forty guests. They marched to their seats to the music of Howald's orchestra as quiet iv as though they wevr about to dine with the President. As the benediction was pronounced the silence was so intense that you could have heard a pin drop, and during the subsequent address delivered by the Rev. George B. Darsie, pastor of the Christian church, every boy was quiet and attentive. Mayor Bell, Mr. Darsie, the latter’s brother, Burns Darsie, of Pittsburg, and members of The Independent’s business and reportorial staffs, dined with the boys. After the dinner the diners repaired to the Armory where they were The Independent’s guests at a matinee performance of “The Denver Express.”It was just 5) o’clock when the first guest arrived at The Independent office in North Erie street. His face shone, his hair was parted straight as a die and he wore a new necktie. “How soon will it be time for dinner?” he asked, and was cheered by the intelligence that he had only four hours to wait. By 10 o’clock the rest of the party began to arrive by twos and threes, and at 10 :30 they began to register. Each boy wrote his own name and age with a soft pencil. Conrad Keefer, aged 0, couldn’t write but he could print and his signature was easier to read than any of the others. The letters were an inch long. Roland Humphrey, 9 years old, put himself down as aged To. Later be returned and explained that the figures represented the number ot his residence.At 12:45 the boys were formed in line and marched to the Hotel Sailer, where Manager Gus. Sailer and his assistants had everything in readiness for them and by 1 o'clock the first course was going 'round. The following menu was served:Consomme with Vermicelli Celery OlivesRoast Vermont Turkey,Cranberry SauceSnowflake Potatoes Asparagus TipsFrench PeasMince Pie Ice Cream CakeOranges CoffeeDuring the pause between the serving of the soup and turkey words began to be bandied to and fro.
