THE DINNER.

At five o'clock about seventy of the Members of
The Club and their friends sat down to a most excellent
dinner at the Freemasons' Tavern, Sir J. Steam JIT
in the Chair, supported, on each hand, certainly not
by so many titled or public men u on some past
occasions, but surrounded by a group of practical
men in the important art of breeding, rearing, and
fattening of domestic animals, which could no where
else, perhaps, be matched.

As soon as the cloth was withdrawn, Sir John rave
" The King," which wee followed by " The Duke of York
and Kept' Family."—" The Duke of Bedford," which was
drank with three times three, and greet applause.

The Cec rake, then called the attention of the
meeting to the circumstance, that a piece of plate
nail a medal were awarded last year to Mr. John
Ellntan, jun., but the same had, in his absence, been
left in the hands of the Club, at the particular re-
qoest of his father, until all doubts on the subject of
the age of one of the sheep Amen (as to the number of
its teeth) had been cleared up to the entire satisfaction
of the Club; that satisfaction, Sir John stated, had
since been fully given, and he had now, therefore, great
pleasure in delivering to Mr. John Ellman, jun., the
plate and medal in question, and of proposing his
health, which was most cordially drank by the
company.
Mr. Etwea rt, jun. after returning thanks, begged
permission to state, that since more particular atten-
tion had been called upon the subject, the premature
teething of highly-kept young sheep had been proved
to be vastly more common than previously was sop-
posed.
Sir Joux then proceeded to read the award of the
judges, and to deliver the plate to the successful can-
didates, as we have already particularised them, on
Monday ; at the same time concluding a pertinent
short speech to each candidate, by giving the health
of each of them as follows, viz.—
^ Mr. Edward Locas"—" Mr. Joseph Lucas"—'• Mr. Ralph
OWacres"—" Mr. James Senior."
Mr. Ot.bac aes occurring again, the Chairman said
he should here avoid a repetition, by giving the health
of " Mr. Westcar," with three times three.
The reading of the cattle award being now finished,
Sir John, after a well-merited compliment to the
judges who made it, gave their healths, collectively,
viz.—
.4 Mr. John Barkley, Mr. Robert Curtis, and Mr. John
Prise," which toast was much applauded.
The Coataxeir then proceeded to read the award
tithe Nixes for the Sheep and Pip; and to address
mid deliver the plate to each candidate, and then
gave their healths as follows, viz. ;
" Mr. Richard Ourdea"--" Her Grace Use Deans of Rut-
land."
Oa the announcing of this illustrious Lady's name,
there was a general burst of applause, which with
difficulty subsided so that Sir Johu could formally
propene her Grace's health, the drinkitig of which
was spostanenusly followed by three time. three, and
• an man shout of applause, more loud and long con-
: tinned than we almost ever remember to have heard.

; and " Mr. George Dodd."
This award being now :fulfilled; Sir Johu gave the
