nition in the harmony dinner given
at his Fifth avenue residence on
Wednesday night by Frank S. Wither-
bee, one of the “Big Five’ in New
York. Mr. Wittherbee, as everybody
knows who. had the pleasure of his
acquaintance at Yale 20 years ago, is
one of those genial, kindly men,
adapted by nature to the role of har-
monizer, with or without the assist-
ance of a good dinner. His nature
will be triumphantly vindicated if he
can make the Platt lion and the
Choate lamb lie down in quietude to-
gether; and this is what was aimed at
by the dinner which was given in
honor of Successful Candidates Black
and Woodruff. Among those present
were Thomas C. Platt, Mayor Strong,
Chauncey Depew, Cornelius N. Bliss,
Edward Lauterbach and Theodore
Roosevelt, not to speak of the lesser
