Dinner to Mr. Lehmann.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 6, 1897.- Invitations were issued today for an important dinner to be given to Mr. Lehmann at the Metropolitan Club on December 15. The dinner is given in recognition of Mr. Lehmann's efforts for rowing in England and American and is desired especially to be a testimonial to his services for plain amateur sportsmanship in all lines. Invitations have been sent to Harvard and Yale graduates who are in official life and to a few other gentlemen. It is expected that the proposed American Henley at New London will come up for discussion at the dinner.
