Rushden Notes
DINNER—The annual dinner of the members of the Conservative Club took place in that building [Congregational School Room] on Wednesday evening last, when about 60 persons partook of a substantial hot dinner provided by Host and Hostess Hobbs, of the Waggon and Horses Inn. After dinner the company adjourned till eight o'clock, when a good programme of music was provided. Mr. Will Bacchus, of Northampton, who was especially engaged for the occasion, gave several songs in good style.
