218 PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS. 
The most remarkable part of the collection, however, is that con- 
taining the Hgyptian Antiquitics, obtained by the noble duke 
himself when in Egypt. On leaving the castle the party had a 
short walk through the park and returned to the White Swan 
Inn, where they sat down to an excellent dinner, to which the 
thoughtful courtesy of the duchess had added a splendid dessert. 
The only business transacted after dinner was the election of 
three new members to the Berwickshire Club; and the propo- 
sal of a vote of thanks on the part of the three clubs to the 
Duke and Duchess of Northumberland for the attention they had 
shewn to the meeting. The invitation from the Berwickshire 
Club was made for “the proniotion of friendly feeling” between 
the clubs ; and when the party broke up, which it did at an 
early hour, every one present felt that the intended object had 
been attained.
