Music by the orchestra featured the programme before and during the preâ€" sentation of the evening‘s three nuimâ€" bers.

"I cannot imagine a group of men who will drink the toast to our new Xing with more fervour, more earnestâ€" ness than you men will toâ€"night," he said. After the toast, a brief silence was observed out of respect for the memory o3f his late Majesty, King George V. "Most of us have lived funder three reigns, Victoria, Edward and George.
