Mr. Bellingham, who made the presentation, said that 
during the forty years the Club had been in existence 
the position of Secretary had been held by some of its 
most distinguished members. Such had given to the 
office traditions which it was no easy matter to maintain, 
but none had carried out the work with greater efficiency 
and thoroughness than Mr. Hudson who had filled the office 
with distinction to the Club and honour to himself. 
Mr. Hudson, in reply, spoke of the pleasure the work had 
brought to him and of the many personal friendships it had 
been his privilege to make both among officials aftd members. 
He appreciated, far more than the actual gifts, those feelings 
of goodwill and esteem of which they were the mark.
