We met indifferent parts later on. Baron Hill was burnt down May 1836. The Menai Suspension Bridge was still a curiosity- the foundation laid in 1819, first chain, 1825; when a sailor walked across, and on which a shoe-maker, sitting across, completed a pair of boots. The general opening took place early in 1826. My friend Charles Paget, in command of the Procris, 16, was the first man-of-war, and, I believe,the last, that sailed through.

I venture to state a few particulars, although far from the wide and open sea. There have been, and still are, many Beefsteak Clubs, but the Sublime Society was founded in 1735 by Henry Rich, the famous harlequin. It consisted of twenty-four members. Among the rules were : Beefsteaks shall be the only meat. Broiling begins at two of the clock ; table-cloth removed at three of the clock. Any wagers lost to be paid to the treasurer.
