taken by the president, Mr. E. B. Ridgway, faced by 
that ardent sportsman, Mr. H. S. Tibbatts. After full 
justice had been done to all the good things, the usual 
loyal toast was proposed. Mr. Mortimer followed with 
a song, “Thy Sentinel am I.” Mr. Tibbatts next 
proposed the toast of the evening, “ The Eagle Angling 
Society,’ on which he dwelt in a very flattering manner, 
stating the great amount of pleasure it gave him to be 
in our midst on this auspicious occasion, and hoping (as 
we all hoped) that ho would be with us on many other 
such pleasant evenings. After a couple of songs, our 
president, Mr. E. B. Ridgway, responded in a very able, 
interesting, and amusing manner. A song from Mr D. 
Sharland (secretary ), of a humorous description, brought 
us to the distribution of prizes by the chairman, which 
included various guineas, half guineas, a pair of 
very fine oil paintings, a guinea silk umbrella, and 
several smaller prizes, the principal winners being 
Messrs. H.^ Day, J. Dwyer, G. Barnet, Price, C. Ash¬ 
more, and G. Rochford. After a song by our chairman 
( In Old Madrid ’’), Mr. F. Thomas (Hounsfield Otters), 
in a very able manner, proposed “ The Secretary and 
OflBcers of the Eagle Angling Society,” which was 
responded to by Mr. D. Sharland and Mr. T. P. Barlow 
(our late secretary), both of whom were well received 
The chairman next presented Mr. Barlow with a very 
handsome gold horse-shoe pin, set with pearls, sub¬ 
scribed for by a few of his admiring fellow members 
Mr. Barlow gracefully replied, and his health was drunk 
with Gnthusiasm. From this point all sGGmGd inclined 
to get on with the harmony, and after our friends and 
benefactors The Press ” had teen proposed, and 
been responded to Mr. Griffin, who, in a well-chosen 
speech, pointed out the manifold blessings we derived 
through Itheir kindness, specially mentioning our own 
paper, the Pishing Gazette, the fun went fast and 
furious in the way of singring:, amongst those who 
favoured the company being Mr. Mortimer, Mr. Parrett 
Mr. Ridgway, Mr. Ashmore, who “ Still had the same 
old walk/’ whilst Mr. Sharland came up with his 
little lot,” and several others obliged, but when the 
hour of departure arrived all seemed sorry to leave.
