WORKING MEN’S CLUB FETE.—On Tuesday last a picnic of an unusual character took place on Hastings Downs, near Petersfield. The object aimed at by its promoters was the combination, for the purpose of innocent enjoyment, of the various working men’s clubs in the district, under the presidency of the London Union. About 2,000 members of these clubs from Portsmouth and all quarters were present, and the beautiful site kindly lent by Lady Fetherstonhaugh was turned to excellent account by being devoted to the sports and games which formed a large portion of the amusements of the day. The Rev. H. Solly, secretary of the Working Men’s Club and Institute, addressed the meeting, and eloquently enlarged upon the social advantages connected with working men’s clubs. The efficient services of the 9th Sussex Volunteer band were brought into requisition. The day, though unpropitious in the morning, was a great success, and will, it is to be hoped, prove to be the first of a series of combined fetes for such clubs throughout the country in future summers.
