Bo water and W. Mclntyre, who* carried out their dnties fa a very pleasing manner. A strong committee of ladles provided an excellent spread which no donbt was the* best table of the season. Great credit is due to Misses- A. Sanson, M. Sanson, and M. Ferrett who • were responsible for the way Ib. which the tables were decorated. The waiters were Messrs J; Currie,. W. Mclntyre. F.
