Sutton, with response by Mr W. G. Walkley. "That awful game” was given in humorous vein by Mr P. O. Ycale and the response by Mr M. R. Jones. "The ladies” was given and received with much enthusiasm, the proposer being Mr R. C. Hay-Mac-kenzie, with replies by Messrs IT. Slater and A. W. Lawn. Included on the menu card were "interviews” with the respective champions. Pease, Tennent, White, McCarthy and Simpson, while some news of local interest and view's of noted contemporaries were added.
