BENEFIT CLUB.

The members of the Castle Inn Benefit Club held their annual meeting on Trinity Tuesday, at the above inn, when upwards of 80 sat down to a dinner, provided by Host Hobbs. It being the triennial meeting, notwithstanding the unusual heavy demands which the club had met, a dividend was declared of £1 for each member, leaving a balance in hand.—On Wednesday, the Three Cups Inn Benefit Society held a festival, when about 100 sat down to a good spread, provided by Host Harper. The band of the Malmesbury Rifle Volunteers enlivened the company with a selection of music. The members, headed by the band, paraded the principal streets of the town, and in the evening marched to Holcomb, the residence of Mr. C. R. Luce. Dancing and various other amusements again took place on their return to their club house.
