MARKS 21 YEARS AS PRACTISING LAWYER IN CITY
[Welland Tribune 1929]
Lynn B. Spencer K.C. Host at Golf Club to Friends and Business Associates
An exceptionally pleasant social function took place yesterday at Lookout Point Golf and Country club when Lynn B. Spencer K.C.. .was host to over thirty of his friends and business associates in Buffalo and the Niagara peninsula. The guests were invited, during the afternoon, to play over the beautiful course for which the club is famous, and most of them took advantage of this privilege, particularly as the weather was ideal for such sport.
At 8.30 in the evening the company gathered in the spacious dining hall of the attractive new club house and after all had enjoyed the elaborate and appetizing menu provided, the genial host undertook to explain why he had asked his friends to partake of his hospitality.
“It is just 21 years since I commenced practicing in Welland,” said Mr. Spencer,”and I thought the anniversary worthy of some little celebration, particularly as I expect to leave on a trip to England within a few weeks. I am pleased to greet my friends here and to provide the occasion for those present to enjoy the opportunity of becoming acquainted with each other.”
Mr. Spencer then referred to his 21 years of partnership in the legal profession with Col. L.C. Raymond,K.C. which he said, had been without even a ripple of discontent.
Following adjournment to the cosy lounge, where coffee was served, the party was introduced to T. Halton, a prominent business man of Cleveland, who soon had all present agog with wonder at his amazing skill and dexterity as a sleight of hand artist and creator of illusions. He performed many mystifying tricks with an apparently innocent deck of cards, at the same time, with his amusing patter, keeping the company in a rollicking mood. Mr Halton does not claim the dignity of a professional but it was agreed on all sides that some of his experiments were more baffling than any seen behind the footlights.
Other guests, with recitation and story, made impromptu contributions to the entertainment of the evening. The pleasure of the guests and their indebtedness to Mr Spencer for his generous hospitality was greatly expressed by Frank B. Baird, president of the Buffalo-Fort Erie Bridge and others.
