thoroughly enjoyed. 
The president, Mr. H. L. Joseland, M.A., was in the chair, 
and Mr. W. L. Grant occupied the vice-chair. The president 
proposed the toast of “ The King,” Mr. W. L. Grant following 
with “ The club and kindred societies.” Then Mr. G. Gill, 
J.P., proposed ‘‘The town and trade of Burnley,” to which 
Mr. J. W. Thompson, J.P., responded. ‘‘The clergy of all 
denominations ” was proposed by Dr. Gardner, and responded 
to by the Rev. C. S. Sargisson. Mr. Wm. Witharn, J.P., 
gave “ The ladies,” to which Mr. J. H. Rothwell replied. 
“ The President,” proposed by Mr. William Lancaster, was 
given with musical honours ‘‘The Secretary” was then 
toasted at the instance of Mr. J. S. Mackie. Mr. F. Hudson, 
LL.B., in replying, made some useful observations relating 
to the work of the Club. 
The evening was enlivened with songs by Mr. J. P.
