Presentation to a Southsea Doctor
At the Bush Hotel last evening a presentation was made of a handsome dinner service by the members of the Southsea Bowling Club to their popular President, Dr. Conan Doyle. Mr. T. Reynolds (the Vice-President), in making the presentation in the name of the Club, alluded to the recent marriage of their President, and wished him every happiness in his future career. The dinner service was a slight token of the esteem in which Dr. Doyle was held by the members of the Club, not only in his capacity as President, but for his private character. Dr. Conan Doyle, in acknowledging the handsome gift, said that be was proud to have won the affection and esteem of the members of the Club. He valued the dinner service not only for its own sake, but as the token of their goodwill and friendship. It would ever be dear to him on that account.
