An interesting change from the purely national character of the birthday festival in London was unde by the Robert Burns Club, which differs from others of its kind by admitting English, Irish, and Welsh admirers of the poet Edmund Gorse, the distinguished littera teur. and Lord Riddell proposed the chief toasts. A Scots lady, Annie S. Swan, was also among the speakers, and another notable but more familiar figure was Sir Harry Lauder.
