Perhaps you will give mo sjiaco to correct tlie im pression created tha t Bashall Hall is being allowed to fall into a state of neglect and delapidation. ^ J t would be a matter of great satisfaction to me to be able to effect such repairs to Ba^hall Hall as would place i t onco more in the position of honour it formerly occupied of being one of the noble houses of the district. But while th a t for financial reasons is not possible, JJashall Hall lias had very considerable sums of money spent on recouditiomng "and main­ tenance in the last ten years, and the structure of the house is in sound condition. In llio work which has been done Sir James Worsley-Taylor was constantly advised by Mr. K. E. Loftiug, assistant surveyor a t Westminster Abbey and one of the foremost authorities on the care of medieval build­ ings. ;Mr. Lofting visited Basliall Hall as recently as the spring of this year. My friend Mr. A. B. Paveys, secretary of tlie Society for the I'rotoction of Ancient Build­ ings, has also visited Ba.shall and is sati^fic(l tJiafc further deterioration is not taking place.

But 1 coii'^ider i t is only fair to state that tho best tale told at the f lavor ’s dinner this year came from Mr. h'rank Dugnle, avIio lind ([uite a week-eml of public .-peaking. Mr. Dugdale told of a jimniali>t avIio found Idniseli before a ucav magistrate on a charge of being drunk and disorderly. J t is, of course, scarcely necessary to point out that it Avns not a Clitlieroo journalist. At any pate, the jminiali-t in question made n llowerv little* sjH’Cch, in Avliich he said lie was no worse than anyone else. He Avent on: •• J have not the countless amours of Byitui; 1 do not drink continuously like Burns; I am not as deliascd at Edgar Allan Poe; 1 am not a drug addict like Do Qiiiiieoy.” Hero the magi.-tralc inter­ rupted him, s:iyiiig: ••That is enough of tl iat fancy stuff.
