Reply |
Mr Aitken |
|
The Toasts of "President" and "Croupier" brought to a close the Jubilee Meeting, in many respects one of the most successful in the history of the Club. |
|
*It afforded great gratification to the Club that the Original Members, on the Jubilee Anniversary, were able to respond to the Chairman's request for a song.
