LONDON CITY'S LIBRARY.
OVER 200,000 VOLUMES. FOUNDED BY DICK WHITTINGTON,
In the Guildhall Art Gallery, Mr James Northcott, the chairman of the Library Committee of the Corporation, entertained his colleagues and a large company of guests at a dinner, to meet the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs, and to do honour to the late chairman, Mr. Deputy Joseph Hicks.
The Right Hor T. P. O'Connor, M.P submitted the civic toast, to which the Lord" Mayor responded.
Mr. Philip Guedalla proposed the toast of "Art and Literature." Sir Arthur T. Quiller-Couch, in reply, said the only complaint about Eterature was that there was so much of it.
Mr. W. Reynolds-Stephens (president of the Royal Society of British Sculptors) also replied.
