The evening took the form of n dinner, in which comradeship was once again re-united. A varied toast list was gone through, interspersed with songs. An orchestra had been engaged, but the pianist (Mr. MurrayFowler) failed to turn up owing to an urgent case at the last moment to earnsome work in connection with hi* business. However, the other instrumentalists carried on most creditably.
