H. Nimnio, who kept the gathering in a simmer of laughter with his quaint humour.

Brown; ventriloquist, Mr. C. Burridge; thumbnail sketch, Messrs. J. Rogers and S. Philpott; duet, Maoriland (in costume), Messrs. J. Rogers and J. Russell. A delightfully humorous and informative lecturette was given by Mr. F. H. Bnkewell on the, characteristics of the British soldiery. .He quoted not from British histories hut from Spanish and French sources. The lecture was listened to with rapt attention and added very much to a delightful evening. At the supper interval the health of tile chairman (Captain Kimmo) and Colonel 11. X Avery, patron of the club, were drunk with' musical honours. The next meeting of the club will be held on Wednesday, November 14.
