A cake 25 years old has just been cut at the silver wedding anniversary of Mr and Mrs Robert Funger, of Orange, New Jersey. It was one of two cakes, exactly alike, that were on the table at the marriage feast provided by the bride’s father, Mr Laurence C. Fell, former Mayor of Orange, who at the time, told the guests laughingly that it would be set aside for the silver anniversary of the happy event. As Mrs Funger cut through the deep icing of the 25-year-old cake, which had been sealed in an airtight box, the knife encountered an obstacle which to the surprise of everyone, was found to be an envelope containing £SOO in bank notes —£20 for each of the 25 years.
