Wheal being pre- sented with a gold pendent ma ch-box, and a silver flask with suitable inscriptions, for the valuable servic s he has endered to the Club as steward. The presentation was made by the Hon. Dr. Atkinson, who spoke in very high terms of the services render.d to the Club by Mr. Wheal.
Mr. Wheal, although claiming to be better as a steward than an orato made a very suitabl speech in reply.
