So whilst sometimes the yellow and sometimes the green might be played upon, yet it only appeared to be to get them out of the way, in order that they might strike the British “Snooker” to try to pocket it and score 10 (Laughter and applause.) With our army and navy, it would be “hard lines” if we did not succeed in “obliging” our enemy with a double “baulk” (Laughter.)

Mr. F. W. Bentley gave the toast of “Success to the Huddersfield and County Conservative Club and the Unionist Cause,” dwelling on the efforts made especially by Mr. Keighley in promoting the success of the club. (Applause.)
