He was glad to note that two of the "Big Four" were with them that evening. He regretted that one of their number, Mr. Charles Bond, was unable to be present, and doubly regretted that the other of the "Big Four" would never be with them again. He was referring to the late Mr. Gerrard, who was a very good sportsman.
