Two addresses before the National Geographic Society yesterday, a meeting of the Bar Association, memorial services for the late Justice LURTON, this morning, at the Supreme Court, and the laying of the cornerstone of the Red Cross Building this afternoon have so occupied Judge TAFT's time that there have been no special entertainments arranged in his honor and this will be the only function of a social nature in which he will participate.
Judge TAFT will leave Washington tomorrow morning for New York. While in Washington he is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. William J. BOARDMAN.
