IIENRY TURN EY,
HON. SEC.

The annual dinner cf the club was held at the
Talbot Hotel in Thursday evening. The Prasi.
dent, W. J Turney, Esq., J.P , occupied the chair,
and Mr. H. Tut ney the vice-chair. Amongst those
pnsent were Megsrs. Bland. Nash, Foley Perry,
Ford, Pe Arson, Hedges, Sylve4re, Walker, Attwood,
Eiclp,rds, Otter, and Drs. Eagar and Daley.
The chairman read letters of apology from Major
Webb and /dr. Xiairry Cochran% Nr.

and Mr. Boulton, menr., regretting that they could
not a ttend

After the repl4 was over Mr. W. J. Turney pro-
pose(' the heabh of "The Queen and the Royal
Family," which wah heartily responded to.
Mr. W. J. Tarney, in proposing ''The army,
navy, and reserve forces," said it was needless t
say anything, as they all know what an arduous
campaign the army had cone through; and they
knew the navy was always ready.
Th:- next toas, propoeur by Mr. H. Turney, was
"The Countess of Stamtbrd and Warrington."
He said it was the first tithe it had been proposed
at tn-se jovial gatherings. He was sure that they
would all aizree that the late Lord Stamford had
done a great deal for the club. He was a pre-ident
and not only that, he allowed them the ground for
nothing, and they were very much indebted to him
When. Lord Stamford died, his spirit towards the
club was stilt carried on, as they all knew Lady
Stamford was a great sporting lady. He thought
It was a very important toast to drink her health.
The club was in a very flourishing condition, and
they must remember who helped to put it in that
po-ition. He had much pleasure in proposing the
toast.
, Tie toast was heartily drunk.

Mr. Nese propoed "Success to the Stourbridge
Cricket Club." Ho did not think that it needed
any great length of words to exprese the success of
the club. It seemed to him to have been a success
in every way. The number of members had in
creased. More matches had been won than lost;
and some of the matches were played with some of
the best clubs in Midland Counties. He was often
struck, when on the cricket ground, with the differ-
ence in the number of spectators to witness cricket
matches here and the number who attended matches
in Australia. There, about 1,000 to . 5,000 were
present ; but they could not expect that to occur
here; still he thought they should try to persuade
their friends to come and see the matches. He
i;.l.iou4ht the greatest success of all was in the sports
dep,ertment. They all knew that the president
had exerled himself to a great extent in connection
with the sports, and had opened his purse very
liberally. (Cheers.) Mr. Nash also spoke very
hiehly of tbe indefatigable manner in which their
seet•etary hat worked, and that the club
clo°unlriradcrhYallenge any club in England for its finan-
cial position. (C;eeers.)
Mr W. Turney; in responding, said he was
pleased to met them there at a social gathering,
and he hoped they would continue to be of an
annual character. He was pleas2d to find that the
club had had a long series of successes. Speaking
about the enlarging of the ground Mr. Turney said
that their hon. sec. had secured the ground round
, he cricket ground in his own name and this would
eimplify matters in the future, and would make it
the finest in England.
;NIL.. Otter prepoeed The President," which was
heartily drunk, the company singing He's a j .11y
eo id fellow"
Mr. W. J. Turney thanked them siucerlv for the
hearty manner in which they had drunk the toast.
Turney &so spoke as to the advisibility of
holding two days' sports,
Tie ,other toasts were "The vice-presidents,"
"The honoray officers of the club," "The donors
and supporters of the club," "The visitors," and
"The press."
In responding to "The vice-presidents," Mr. H
ilureey said he was sorry Major Webb and Mr.
Cochrane were not present to respond. They all knew
elajor Webb was quite a sportsman, and had always
Taken an active part. They ell knew Mr. Cochrane
is an old ifootball player, and the club was never
eiord successful than when under his captaincy. He
thanked them for the manner in which they had re-
ceived the toast,
The remainder of the toasts were suitably re-
-ipcieded to.
The toasts were interspersed with songs by
.qessrs. W. J. and EL Turney, Hicks, lto-siter,
Foley, Bland, Eager, Ferry, Otter, Simms, ane
Seriven, and a very enjoyable evening was spent.
A word of praise is due for the manner in which
the dinner was served up.

MEISIoRIAL TO CANON LYTTELTON, AT HAOLEY.
—On Saturday last a peal of eight bells, in memory
of the late Canon Lyttelton, were dedicated at
riagley Church. The cost of the bolls, .tl5O, has
wen defrayed by public subscription, There are
inscriptions on each of the bells, including texts
of Scripture, and also a record of their being a
nernorial of the late rector. After the dedication
envice, as the clergy and choir returned to the
ehancel, the ringers rang a course f graudaire
wiplee. The bells were not heard to advantage by
;hose inside the church, but. outside, as the fuller
waves of sound roll through the air, the bells have
most pleasing effect. The sermon was preached
ey the Rev. E. D. Tinling, canon of Gloucester.
after the service the bells were rung at intervals
