221 Coykendall expended thousands of dollars upon it- Very few kn0W that, for with the modesty and diffidence which characterize him he did not proclaim it from the housetops, and, in fagt, I think it was never before publicly acknowledged. Dr. Vander Veer, our honored incoming Presi- dent, has presided at two of the noted banquets of the Holland Society,-the Albany branch of it. When the Dutch ship Van Speyk was- here in 1893, you recall, we gave the officers a banquet at the Waldorf g and then our Albany members invited them to come up to Albany, and they went, and the Albany men gave them a fine dinner at the Fort Grange Club, at which Dr. Vander Veer presided. The Queen of Holland made the Doctor Cas she also made President Beekmanj a Knight of the Order of Nassau, and he wears the badge to-day in honor of this' gracious recognition. Then, three or four years ago, when Theodore Roosevelt was Governor of this State, our Albany members gave a dinner to the Governor, our fellow member, and Dr. Vander Veer presided at that banquet. So he knows how to do it, and I am sure you will all reap the benefit of his ex- perience, knowledge and eloquence, in this year that is before us. MR. HASISROUCKZ Mr. Vice-President, will yOu please resume the chair for two or three minutes, while I offer a resolution?

222 and has for the past year continued its successful career under his administration as President, now, therefore, be it Resolved, That The Holland Society of New York desires to express its appreciation of the services which, first as Secretary and later as President, have been rendered in such a conspicuously able and satisfactory manner by Mr, Banta, and the gratification which the Society's continued progress and prosperity have inspired among the members, and further Resolved, That the Secretary enter this resolution upon the records and forward a suitably engrossed copy to the retiring official. -5 MR. WARNER VAN NORDEN: In seconding this motion, I feel that I ought to say more than a single word. It is usual in organizations ,of this character, and it has also been so with us, to offer a resolution of this kind to the retiring Presi- dent, and it is perfectly proper and courteous to do so, but it is something more than a per- functory expression in this case. I think we will all agree that there has been no man in office in theHolland Society that has so faithfully served it as has Mr. Banta. Cflpplausej No one could possibly have given the time that he has to the affairs of the Society, or, if he had the time he might not have had the order of talent which has enabled him to serve the Society so successfully, and, even if we had the time and the order of talent, very few of us have the tact which would enable us to go through a career of many years as Secretary and finally President and yet be the most popular man in the Society., Cflpplausejy It is, therefore, with very great pleasure that I second this motion, and I am sure that every word I have said finds a ready echo in the heart of all present.
