This time the band played "The Star Spangled
Banner."
Again the toastmaster arose and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the first
toast that I am going to propose to-night is a double one, because, for
obvious reasons, it must include not only the State, but its chief
representative, who is with us here to-night. Ladies and gentlemen, let
us drink to the Old Bay State, and may each loyal heart say within
itself, 'God save the Commonwealth of Massachusetts!'" The guests
touched their lips to their glasses. "And now," continued the
toastmaster, "to his Excellency QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER, Governor
of the Commonwealth, whom I have the honor of introducing to you."
The Governor arose amid wild applause and loud acclamations, while the
band played "Hail to the Chief!"
THE END.
