New Year' Eve Hospital Ball - Brilliant Function at Chichester - Loud Speakers Give Big Ben Broadcast

The happy co-incidence that New Year's Eve fell this time on the first Friday after Christmas, which is always reserved for the annual ball in aid of the Royal West Sussex Hospital added considerably to the appeal of this popular function, and last week's event was one of the most successful yet held.

The hospital ball provides a most enjoyable wind-up to the social activities of the various Christmas house-parties in the district, and with the additional atmosphere of festivity associated with the passing of the old year, Friday's gathering was a particularly merry one. Practically all the 300 ticket holders put in an appearance, and the accommodation of the City Council House was severely taxed. However, the ingenious adaptation of the building, and the arrangement whereby suppers in the Council Chamber were served in relays, again met the situation satisfactorily.
Crimson and green was the decoration scheme of the ball-room and adjacent apartments, and it made a charming effect. Tall spears were placed at intervals round the Assembly Room and the stage and recesses were buried in foliage, relieved by crimson flowers.

At midnight, some of the more adventurous spirits braved the keen nigh air to join in the revelry at the Cross. The others remained to hear the broadcast chimes of Big Ben come through the three loud speakers installed in the ball-room, and to join in the singing with linked arms of "Ault Lang Syme." - - -
Those present included :- - - - General Sir Gerard Heath and party - - -

The Clerk (Mr.H.L.Reade): Will you be quiet?

International Credit Insurance
The ninth ordinary general meeting of the Trade Indemnity Co.Ltd., was held yesterday in London. Mr.C.E.Heath O.B.E. (the Chairman) said: We are presenting you with a report which, considering the shocking state of trade during 1926, we hope you will think satisfactory. During the last year, if the business had not increased in the same ratio as formerly, we have not been standing still. In a comparatively new industry such as this, organisation for the future must at first take a large place in our activities.

Not only are we planning methods by which our business and, incidentally, the trade of the country, may be improved, but we have been cultivating our foreign relationships. In December was held a meeting in London of the representatives of no less than 18 nationalities to discuss the ins and outs of international credit insurance.

The conference resulted in the proposal to form a committee for investigating and giving advice on the questions which must continually crop up. That committee has now been formed and has already had put before it several questions for consideration.

But apart from the work actually done, the Conference certainly was beneficial in another respect. It brought together many able men, who then and there made each other's acquaintance, and who separated satisfied with the knowledge of what manner of men they would be dealing within the future.

I have explained our hopes of eventually being intimately in touch with foreign associations in all countries, with whose aid alone a satisfactory foreign business can be carried on. Certainly we have made a great stride forward in that connection. At home, too, there are certain proposals being put forward which may materially help us.

Though we a now dealing with the result of 1925 underwriting, the greater part of the liabilities of the year matured in the very disastrous commercial year of 1926. There is an item in the accounts which is very significant. We received in 1925 on account of the transactions in 1924, a sum of £3,500 for additional premiums. In the amount now before you, so far from receiving additional premiums, we have had to return £241, a difference of nearly £4,000 on the wrong side. There is only one redeeming point in this difference, it is that our liabilities should be less, and this should be reflected in next year's accounts.

The net result of our operations for 1925 has been that we pay the same dividend as last year, put the same amount to reserve, and carry forward £1,500 more.

The slightly better result has not been due to fewer losses - they have indeed been greater as was to be expected in such a year as 1926 - but to an increase in dividends from investments. The interest on invested premiums increased about £3,000. But in stating that the losses have increased, I am far from saying we have not made a profit on the underwriting. On the contrary the year 1925 shows an underwriting profit of about 17 per cent. I think every credit is due to Mr.Spain for the result.

So far as 1926 is concerned, although our gross premiums have increased by about £5,000, our retained premium is smaller. Our underwriter has thought it prudent to reinsure a larger proportion of the risks. The loss to date are about normal, and I hope we may (move?) you next year with a fair report.

You would like to know something of the results of accepting risks from foreign companies. There was very little premium from this source in 1925, but during 1926 the receipts increased considerably. For 1927 the premiums are up, and we hope will continue to increase..

There is no doubt that interest in credit insurance is increasing. The Overseas Department is, I believe, doing a great deal of business, but I believe we can hold our own against even the very friendly competition of the Government.

From my own point of view the interest of that is credit insurance scheme grows from day to day. Hardly a week passes in which suggestions are not put forward, which shows how far reaching may be our scope. When the business has reached the proportions which it merits, you will be able congratulate yourselves that you had the courage and the (fair?) to constitute yourselves the pioneers - a title which no one will ever be able to deprive you of.

The report was unanimously adopted.

Much of the success is due to the enthusiasm of the workers and the organising ability of the hon.secretary (Mrs.H.Buckley Rode Heath). The grounds presented a picturesque appearance. Crowds availed themselves of the opportunity of enjoying the lovely surroundings. Numerous stalls were arranged on the lawns. Rode Heath Band selections and children from Woodcock's Wells Schools (trained by Mr.F.Willmer) gave Morris dances in a delightful manner. They also gave other country dances earning well-merited applause. There was an Indian club display by Odd Rode Girl Guides under Miss Parfitt.

Alsager Gold Club Garden Party
Members of Alsager Gold Club were unfortunate in regard to their garden party at Linley Hall on Saturday. The garden party had been organised on behalf of the funds of the club, of which Maj.Gen.F.C.Heath-Caldwell, Linley Hall, is president. He is also landlord of the club's course, which is regarded as one of the best in Staffordshire. Shortly before the proceedings were due to commence rain fell rather heavily, and continued incessantly throughout the rest of the afternoon and the greater part of the evening, causing the programme to be considerably curtailed and many of the outdoor events had to be abandoned.

It was very discouraging for the club secretary, Mr.H.V.Lynam, and his assistant, Mr.Ernest Rushworth, to see their excellent arrangements rendered almost futile, in addition to the club losing considerable revenue. There was only a small attendance, the majority being officials and members of the club and a few visitors from Lawnton, Kidsgrove and Alsager.

The beautiful grounds, given fine weather, would have lent themselves admirably for such a gathering. Major-General and Mrs.Heath-Caldwell were very genial as host and hostess, and took an active interest in the proceedings. A tennis tournament had to be abandoned, but several other outdoor games were carried on under difficulties.

The stalls were in charge of the following: Skittles, Messrs.W.Bingham and H.Stevenson; clock golf, Dr.W.S.Lynd, Messrs.Beech and R.Titley; band, Mr.W.K.Russell; tennis, Messrs.Billie Sayers and G.Forshaw; darts, Mrs.Steventon, Miss Watkins and Miss Drinkwater; houp-la, Mrs.Parsons, Mrs.Bickley, Miss Ball, Miss Brownsword and Miss P.Sherwin; wheel of fortune, Mrs.F.Bailey, Miss Bailey and helpers; bowling, Messrs.J.Henshaw and Miss Joan Piggott; refreshments, Mrs.Barker, Mrs.Parsons, Mrs.Hurd, Miss Watkins, Miss Graham, Mrs.Haydn, Mrs.F.C.Crimes, Mr.J.B.Crimes, Miss Drinkwater, and others; coconut stall, Messrs.P.Hurd, E.Rushworth,Russell and B.Piggott; skit ball, Messrs.Crimes and F.Bailey; lucky squeeze, Miss Poole and Miss Ellis; ice cream, Mrs.H.C.Mellor; chocolate, sweets and lemonade, Mrs.Harpur, Mrs.Lynam, Mrs.Sherwin, Mrs.Lynd and others; side show committee, Messrs.E.Rushworth, F.A.Beech, J.Henshaw, H.Steventon, Mrs.Henshaw, Mrs.Harpur, Mrs.Lynum and Miss Watkins.

Selections were given during the afternoon by the Kidsgrove Y.M.C.A. Excelsior Silver Prize Band.

Later the company were entertained to tea in the hall by Major-General and Mrs.Heath-Caldwell. A dance was held in the evening.

Two Hunt Presentations.
Surrey Union Supporters Honour Mr.H.C.Lee Steere
On the lawns of Jayes Park, Ockley, on Saturday a large company of members of the Surrey Union Hunt assembled to honour Mr.H.C.Lee Steere, who, through ill health, has had to resign the Mastership. On behalf of the Hunt, Sir Benjamin Brodie presented him with his portrait in oils, by Mr.Ernest Moore. It shows Mr.Lee Steere in the hunting dress in which he has been so well known in the Surrey Union country for many years. Sir Benjamin said it was very unfortunate that Mr.Lee Steere found it necessary to resign the Mastership, for they all felt it was the breaking of the link with old times.

Mr.C.E.Heath said it was ten years since Mr.Lee Steere and himself joined forces, becoming joint Masters of the Hunt. It was a very difficult time in 1917. "We had to beg, borrow, but not steal hounds from every direction, and without the popularity of Mr.Lee Steere among all people n the country, we should never have got on as we did." Mr.Lee Steere inspired the spirit of affection, and it was in the spirit of affection that the Hunt asked him to accept the portrait.

Responding Mr.Lee Steere said it was one of the proudest moments of his life. Referring to his successor, Mr.Lee Steere said: "Give him every possible help. The duties of a Master now are more difficult. The fields are bigger, and sometimes rather unruly." He asked members of the Hunt not to over-ride hounds. "All the time there is breath in my body I shall get on a horse whenever I can." he concluded.

Garden Party at Linley Hall
Through the kindness of Major-General and Mrs.F.C.Heath-Caldwell, a garden party was held on Thursday in the grounds of Linley Hall, Talke, on behalf of the funds of Talke Parish and Talke St.Saviour's Church. The event was favoured with ideal weather, and apart from fete attractions there was plenty to interest the numerous visitors.

The beautiful flower gardens and well-kept lawns and woodland walks were greatly admired. Considerable interest was taken in a tennis tournament organised by the Rev.W.R.H.Cosens in which sixteen couples competed. The finalists were Mr.Arthur Boulton and Miss Evans, and Mr.William Salt and Miss Baskeyfield. The result was a victory for the latter pair.

A bowling handicap arranged by Mr.J.Wilson and Mr.Ernest Dale was held on the lawn in front of the hall, and was well contested.
A feature of the evening's proceedings was a display of Maypole dancing by the scholars of Talke Girls' School, under the direction of Miss Wright (headmistress). Equally enjoyable were the pretty country dances which they gave. Miss S.Wright was accompanist.
A concert was given by the Talke Male Voice Choir, conducted by Mr.Fred.J.Bossons, and songs were rendered by Mr.Chas.Hancock (tenor), Mr.E.Bennett (baritone), and Mr.Arthur Taylor (bass). Mr.Harold Birks was the accompanist.

The various stalls and competitions were in charge of the following:- Skittles, Mr.E.Rushworth; sweets, Mrs.Walton; ice-cream, Mrs S.Shipley; hoop-la, Miss Raby, Miss Florrie Ashmore, Miss Eva Barker; weighing machine and wheel of fortune, Mrs.R.Delves, jun; darts, Master Percy Wildblood; clock gold, Master Reg.Taylor; hidden treasure, Miss Crosby; refreshments, Mrs.H.Wright and Mrs.Coleclough assisted by a number of church workers. The organising was in the hands of the Parochial Church Council, with Miss Crosby as hon.sec., and Mr.Robert Chadwick hon.treasurer, all of whom are deserving of the highest praise, the arrangements passing off without the slightest hitch.

The Lost Work of Welsh Painter - Genius of Thos.George of Fishguard - Tragic Termination to a Promising Career. - By Herbert Vaughan

It is only in recent years that interest has been aroused in the life and work of Thomas George, who painted miniature portraits between 1824-1840. Yet George was recongised as a promising artist of real ability in his own day, and he has left behind him sufficient specimens of his art to prove that he was no unworthy successor of the great miniaturists of the eighteenth century. - - -

He was evidently successful in his efforts, for we find that he exhibited works at the Royal Academy in 1829, 1830, 1831, 1837, and 1838. Amongst the miniature portraits thus shown were included those of E.H.Hunt, Sir James Rawlins, and James Heath, thy popular engraver. This last was probably an admirer of his talent, and was responsible to some extent in obtaining commissions for the young Welsh artist, who toiled ceaselessly at miniatures and also at smaller decoration on ivory or metal. His name also appears in the list of those holding Royal appointments, so that it is quite likely that George painted one or more members of the Royal family.

Mrs F.C. Heath-Caldwell - Injured in Motor Accident after Hunting.
Major-General and Mrs F.C.Heath-Caldwell of Linley Wood, Talke, were in a motoring accident near Nantwich on Wednesday, as a result of which Mrs Heath-Caldwell is suffering from a broken collar bone and also from shock.

During the day General and Mrs Heath-Caldwell had been out hunting, and it was when they were driving home that the accident occurred. At a spot where the Willaston road joins the main road from Nantwich to Newcastle the General, in order to avoid a collision with another car, turned sharply to the left into a by-road. The car ran up a bank and over-turned. Mrs Heath-Caldwell, as already stated, was injured, but her husband was unhurt.

Today Mrs Heath-Caldwell was stated to be making satisfactory progress. To a "Sentinel" representative this morning the General said no blame could be attached to anyone for the occurrence, the accident being quite unavoidable.

Major-General's Car in Collision.
An alarming accident occurred on the Newcastle road near Nantwich late on Wednesday afternoon, a car in which were Major-General Heath-Caldwelland Mrs Heath-Caldwel, collided with a car which was approaching the main road from the lower Willaston bye-road.

General Heath-Caldwell's car was overturned. A motor-bus, which was in close vicinity of the bye-road at the time, pulled up, and the driver and passengers alighting went to the assistance of General Heath-Caldwell and Mrs Caldwell.

They righted the car, and General Heath-Caldwell was found to be unhurt. Mrs (Heath-)Caldwell however, appeared in considerable pain, and she was taken to a farm near by, to which Dr. Wyncoll, of Willaston was immediately summoned.
Mrs Heath-Caldwell was suffering from shock and complained of injuries on the lower part of the chest, but it was thought her ribs had escaped serious injury. It was, however, necessary, after Dr. Wyncoll had attended to her, to send her home in an ambulance car.

General Heath-Caldwell lives in Linley Wood, Talke, Staffordshire. When the accident happened they were on their way home after hunting with the North Staffordshire Hounds, which had met in the morning at Doddington, Nantwich.
