the employ of the firm for over a quar

ter of a century, entering as a youth

and rising by his own merit to the posi

tion of- accountant. Consequent on his

selection for the important office of

sever his connection with the firm, and

the occasion of his retirement this af

of feeling on the part of the heads of the

flrm and his fellow eiriployees. A little

before 1 o'clock at a meeting attended by

the heads of the departments Mr. Clubb

was presented on behalf of the Arm

with a cheque for a substantial sum by

the presentation, acknowledged , the

value Mr. Clubb's services had been to

the Arm, and the regret experlencd at

given an opportunity of entering a fleld

of labour in which his services might

rceive greater public recognition. A

presentation of a dozen handsome fruit

knives and forks was also made to Mr.

Clubb from his fellow employees. In

' replying, Mr. Clubb said the most

kindly relations had always existed be

tween him and the members of the Arm,

and he had always done his best to in

fuse a feeling of esprit de corps am

ongst th employees. He had none but

pleasureable recollections to call back

as regarded his connection with the es

tablishment of Messrs. D. Jones and
