Numbers of circular tables were ar-
ranged in the large hall of the Club and
at the head of each acting as host was some
member of the Lyon & Healy corporation.
The dinner was a masterpiece, and was
thoroughly enjoyed by all present. John
P. Byrne performed the duties of toast-
master in a witty and graceful manner.
Adolpho H. Fischer, who was the first
speaker, talked of his business relations
with P. J. Healy, covering a span of thirty
years, and during all of that time there
had existed between them the warmest
personal and business relations.
A. J. Ryan, an old time employee of
Lyon & Healy, and now City Attorney,
referred in an eloquent way to the noble
principles inculcated in him by Mr. Healy
during his connection with that firm.
Judge Dunn followed in a brilliant
speech, in which he paid a glowing tribute
to the character of the host of the evening.
Chas. H. Parsons, when called upon by
toastmaster Byrne responded with a speech
brimful of forceful truths and reminiscent
witticisms. Other speakers were, Judge
Abner Smith, Wm. Dalliba Dutton, Hon.
Thomas Cratty and Police Justice W. T.
Hall. Further entertainment along hu-
morous and poetic lines was furnished by
Mr. Lozier and Mr. Janssen.
The banquet throughout was a most de-
lightful affair, and will ever leave a pleasant
memory in the minds of those who were
present and who listened to the eloquent
tributes of love, friendship and respect
paid to that honored member of the trade,
P. J. Healy.
In the brief span of life it is afforded few
men to receive such heartfelt tributes, such
spontaneous demonstrations of royal es-
teem to which Mr. Healy listened last
night. It shows that the great heart of
the music trade beats with him in appreci-
ative harmony. The expressions of regard
which were heard on every hand, not only
for the honored head of the great Western
Calve and the Pianola.
