On the motion of the Mayor, seconded by Mr. H. M. Baker, J.P., the report and balance sheet were adopted unanimously, general satisfaction being expressed at the great suc­ cess of the week. A hearty vote of thanks to the executive was acknowledged by Mr. Lyd­ gate, the chairman of the committee, and Mr. Oarless, the hon. sec. The latter read an extract from a letter he had received from Mr. W. G. Grace: “ I must thank you and all for the kindness and hospitality shown me during my stay at Hastings. Will you convey my thanks to the members of your committee and the members of the East Sussex Club ? Hoping to be able to pay you a visit next year, believe me,” etc. He had a letter in exactly the same tone from Mr. J. A. Dixon, of Notts, who said he hoped to come here and carry the victory back to the North. It was resolved: “ That'the present committee be appointed a standing committee, to make arrangements for another year, with power to add to their number.” When the grand stand account is settled it is believed that there will be a nett balance of about £30 to go on towards the next week.
