It will be within the recollection of many that when the Albion Hotel was burnt down, a likeness of the late Dr. Nesbitt wis also unfortunately destroyed. Dr. Nesbitt's friends— and they are many—will be pleased to leara that the club has succeeded in obtaining another picture of their late friend, which may now be seen in the club-room.
