Sherlock Holmes’s 115th birthday was “an even greater success than usual,” so Julian Wolff’s Commissionaire’s Report reads. All Canonical rites, including the Canonical and Irregular toasts, Sherlockian musical performances, and the recitation of the Musgrave Ritual and Sherlock Holmes’s Prayer were diligently performed.  Ceil (Mrs. William S.) Baring-Gould was honored as The Woman. 
 
Tribute was paid to Sherlockians who had passed away over the preceding year. Ten Irregulars were invested. After judges James Nelson, H.W. Starr, and Rex Stout deliberated, Lew Feldman awarded the Morley-Montgomery Award to Poul Anderson (eleven years after Anderson first won in the award’s first year of existence). Feldman then exhibited before the assembled what the Commissionaire fittingly characterized as “the Dead Sea Scroll” of Sherlockian relics: the manuscript notes made by Sir Arthur before A Study in Scarlet was written. 
 
A special award, The Queen Victoria Medal, was given “For Outstanding Contributions to the Quartering of The Union Jack with The Stars and Stripes” to Lord Donegall (in absentia) and Lew D. Feldman. 
 
The evening concluded with reports, speeches (Will Oursler, John Bennett Shaw, Nathan Bengis, and Lyttleton Fox), and performances of the first order, including a demonstration of magicianship by John Mulholland, “the very same exhibition of his art that had baffled Sir Arthur himself.”

Sherlock Holmes’s 114th birthday is possibly best known for an historic event that happened outside of the Dinner.  During the cocktail hour that preceded the Dinner, six young women from Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, Connecticut picketed the BSI in front of Cavanagh’s restaurant for not allowing women into the Dinner.  When Julian Wolff heard about the picketing, he said to John Bennett Shaw and Peter Blau (with whom the women had corresponded), “Your damned girls are at the door. Do something!"  Shaw and Blau invited the women into the downstairs bar where the women composed a manifesto to be read to the BSI.  "Gentlemen' this is it! We have long been distressed by your apparent reluctance to admit ladies into the BSI. In order to bring our opinion to your attention we have come here through the bitter chill of winter to ask you to reconsider and bow to the feminine influence. It is not for ourselves that we have come—oh, no! it is for those lovers of Sherlock Holmes everywhere (he did get around a lot). In conclusion, we hope that when you are choosing new members you will give equal consideration to the feminine Irregulars." When read to the BSI, the manifesto was met with a deafening silence.  However, the young women went on to form The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes, which became a national Sherlockian organization and still thrives today. 
 
The dinner, itself, was marked by “capacity attendance,” Julian Wolff’s Commissionaire’s Report notes. All Canonical rites, including the Irregular toasts, Sherlockian musical performances, and the recitation of the Musgrave Ritual and Sherlock Holmes’ Prayer, were closely observed. Regine (Mrs. Thomas L.) Stix (Sr.) was toasted as The Woman. Tributes were paid to Sherlockian luminaries who had recently passed, such as William S. Baring Gould and Basil Rathbone. After judges H.W. Starr and James Nelson awarded the 10th annual Morley-Montgomery Award to William Baring-Gould’s “Mrs. Hudson’s Inheritance,” the impresario behind the $100 check, Lew. D. Feldman, was honored for his support of this prize by being named “Guest of the Irregulars.” 
 
Seven Irregulars were invested. The Commissionaire, who during the course of the evening was “surprised and flattered—and delighted” to receive the Two-Shilling Award, closes his account with the estimation that “this was one of the best dinner-meetings we have ever had.”

An unfortunate milestone marked Sherlock Holmes’s 113th birthday: Rex Stout, the long-time master of ceremonies, was unable to be present. Nonetheless, the timely and timeless Sherlockian rituals and rites “were meticulously carried out.” There were the “Conanical” and the Irregular toasts, readings of the Constitution and Buy-Laws, the Musgrave Ritual, Sherlock Holmes’s prayer, and Irregular music. Missives from Sherlockian individuals and societies from around the world, including messages from Adrian Conan Doyle and the Sherlock Holmes Society of London, were read aloud. Peggy (Mrs. James) Nelson was toasted by William Baring-Gould as The Woman. Four new Irregulars were invested at the Dinner. Three papers of “unusually high calibre” were delivered by John McCabe, John Bennett Shaw, and H.W. Starr, and the festivities concluded with “much Sherlockian discussion.”

Sherlock Holmes’s 112th Birthday celebration took place against the backdrop of a New York transit strike. But, Sherlockians are undaunted. The dinner enjoyed “a near-record attendance,” including visitors from California, Illinois, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. Pola (Mrs. Rex) Stout was honored by Tom McDade as The Woman. Canonical and Irregular toasts were offered, and Scion reports from around the world were delivered. Three Irregulars were invested at the Dinner. Near the evening’s closing, the master of ceremonies, Rex Stout, received a “unique” award, The Order of the Blue Carbuncle. Tom Stix (Sr.) and Herbert Brean delivered learned papers, followed by toasts and disputations to round out the evening.
