At center, men on horseback dine beneath palm trees, surrounded by vignettes showing various special dinners, such as “The girl-in-the-pie dinner,” “The dinner that was raided,” “The monkey dinner,” and others. A map shows streets, buildings labeled after dinner courses, and horse-drawn carriages. Men and women wearing formal clothing walk through a water fountain, captioned “Another prank of the 400.” Caption: Puck — Let us be thankful there are only Four Hundred of these.
