BANQUET
TO THE
HONORABLE CARL SCHURZ.
During the latter part of the month of January, 1899,
a number of the friends of the Honorable Carl Schurz
met in the Chamber of Commerce, and formed a General
Committee of seventy-three, for the purpose of
arranging for a special celebration of the Seventieth
Anniversary of Mr. Schurz's birthday, on the second
of March, 1899. It was considered that this occasion
was a fit one for a hearty manifestation of the high
esteem felt for this distinguished citizen throughout
the country, and for a formal recognition of his personal
qualities and of the great public services he had
rendered for many years to the land of his adoption.
The Committee consisted of the following gentlemen:
| CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, | JAMES C. CARTER, | |
| Boston, | JOSEPH H. CHOATE, | |
| FELIX ADLER, | HUBERT CILLIS, | |
| JAMES B. ANGELL, Ann Arbor, | GROVER CLEVELAND, | |
