In the evening they were taken by the members of the Montreal team and their friends to the Metropolitan and City clubs, where they had been elected temporary members, and at each they were most kindly received; and here it may be as well to say that they were everywhere treated with that charming courtesy and old-time hospitality that belong so exclusively to the gentle-folk of good old England.
