Clandestine words in the lettering are represented by rebuses: a trefoil for 'Club' and a calf and a man's head for 'Calf's Head'. The lettering contains republican and anti-Jacobite sentiments. 30 January was the anniversary of the execution of King Charles I. The lettering describes attempts to sabotage the club, referring to "Clare Market mobsters" and "St James's lobsters"
