Teignmouth Notes: The “Ladies’ Night” at the Constitutional Club on Thursday was largely attended by members of the fair sex. Mr. G. P. H. Rowell, Chairman of the Social Evening Committee, assisted Mr. J. O. Daintree, the energetic Hon. Secretary of the Club, provided a capital programme, which afforded both satisfaction and amusement. The comic element was most ably sustained by the presence of two gentlemen from Newton, Mr. C. B. Kay and Mr. W. H. Pinsent. The large numbers attending the ”socials” and lectures show that there is great interest taken in the welfare of the Club.
