TRUMPINGTON. - Club Feast. - On Tuesday last the members of the Benefit Society, which is held at the School, in this place, celebrated their anniversary by a dinner, which consisted of thoroughly good English fare, and was placed upon the tables with a profusion and an excellence which reflected great credit upon Mr. Bryant, the worthy landlord of the Unicorn. The dinner was held in Snow's ample tent. About 150 sat down to it: the esteemed Rector (the Rev. Professor Grote) presided. The Rev. Mr. Kirkby, the curate, was also present, and evinces great interest in the prosperity of the club. The proceedings passed off in a manner highly satisfactory. C. F. Foster and a party of ladies honoured the company with their presence. The Trumpington band, under the leadership of Mr J. Large, was in attendance, and greatly added to the interest of the proceedings.
