SIR HENRY IRVING.
An Interesting Speech.
Recently we published a cable announcing the projected retirement of Sir Henry Irving. The following speech was made by Sir Henry at the Manchester Arts Club, and should prove interesting reading. In replying to the toast of his health he said:
I have listened very often to your kindly greetings, but they come with a perpetual freshness. I can assure you it is a great comfort to a strolling player like myself to know that he can always count upon an excellent real and a kind word at the Arts Club. We have been at it a good many years-making these old associations it is such a pleasure to renew-and41 dare say the younger members of this Club-you must have younger members now and then - occasionally wonder how old the strolling player who keeps on turning up -how old he

The other day 1 had a letter offer- ing me a play such things do come soine- times. The author said it was a poetical allegory, and he wanted to cast we in the part of Father Time. I wrote, in what I thought was quite a playful spirit, to say that if I accepted the part I might want to use Father Time's scythe to cut down the other parts. He wrote back in quite o different spirit, How like an actor-mana- ger! Gentlemen, the strolling player who

I see that some of the Russian editors are explaining that Kuropatkin's plan is to lure the Japanese to Manchuria, said an old army officer. It reminds me of a country editor out West, whom I knew during the Franco-Prussian war.
The editor's sympathies were with the French. He wrote editorials by the yard showing how France was luring the Dutch, as he called them, to destruction.
His paper came out once a week, so that
he had ample time to work out the French

Mr M. W. Slade stated that according to the ruloa the Committee had power to elect the additional members and not the meeting.

Mr Pollock rose and said that he agreed with Mr Slade that the present meeting could not elect anyone to the Committee after the passing of the rule.
The matter was then allowed to lapso. Dr. Stedman then called upon Dr. Jordan to move the second motion standing in his
name.
Dr Jordan moved that the report of the Committee on the building of a home for the Nursing Institution, be received, and that final authority be given to the Com mittee to commence the building.
On a vote on Mr Pollock's amendment being taken, it was carried by thirty votes to eight. The meeting then closed.
