The contributions included the following charitable donations: — Lead and brass discs, a marble, a small thin key, a penny of one of the Georges, ends of cardboard matchboxes, hair pins, lucifer matches, a school medal souvenir of the visit of the Duke and Duchess] of York, tags of plug tobacco, pennies with holes in them, pins, a 20 centissimo piece, a piece of brass watch chain, two Jockey Club passes, and an 1.0. U. for Id, and another for 2s, buttons of various sizes and descriptions. No fewer than sixteen exploded totalisator tickets were contributed.
