Luncheon.

This was another half-crown show, held in the Farmers' Institute Council Room, where the food allowance was very—extremely—meagre, and where one had not even the satisfaction of smashing the plates. Instead, one spent one's spare time in opening innumerable bottles of non-alcoholic beverages with a pair of scissors, while listening to the witty, weighty, and mutually-admiring remarks of the various speakers. The chairman, Mr. A. Fair, started of' with great good humour. Mr. P. B. Broad replied on behalf of the new graduates; Mr. P. Levi spoke for the College Council (and this time we managed to hear him); Mr. P. Martin-Smith made some characteristic remarks, referring to the College as a whole ("And who could wish for a Better 'Ole?"—Prof. Kirk). Mr. Tonkin appealed for more (very necessary) support for "The Spike;" Mr. de la Mare, smiling as always, added his cheerful quota to the conversation; and Prof. Hunter concluded with prophesyings of changes to come in University government; and we think that's all. Apologies to anyone left out! We suggest that in future all speeches, confined though they be to five minutes, be kept till the end of the luncheon, to allow one a few consecutive moments to devote to one's plate. After the usual toasts had been drunk and the usual songs sung, the gathering broke up and we departed from that genial atmosphere into the wind and rain.
