Mrs. Palmer, though not a playing member, had taken a ve jy active part in the social side of the game, and her loss would be felt ve.y greatly indeed. Air. Foreman presented Air. Palmer with a pocket wallet and Mrs. Palmer with a silver cake stand,, and conveyed to them the club’s best wishes for their success in the new district to which they were going. Air.
