Aids To Enjoyment.

AIDS TO ENJOYMENT .

PROBABLY there are not many of our readers who are personally acquainted with the art of Cookery—practical cookery , we mean , as there are very few Freemasons but can appreciate a good dinner , and if they do not exactly know how to prepare an enjoyable feast they generally know how to suggest improvements on what is put before them ; in

other words the members of the Order are usually regarded as fair judges of what is good . This being so there is every reason why we should devote a corner of our space to a few words of recommendation of the excellent flavouring essences specially distilled and purified at E . T . Langdale ' s Essence Distillery , Hatton Garden , the proprietor of which is well known in Freemasonry by his own name of Bro . Arthur 3 . Cove P . M .

Langdale ' s Distillery has been in existence for nearly 120 years , having been established in 1777 , on Holborn Hill , and has long been famous for the excellence of its output , but it has also won world-wide renown in connection

Aids To Enjoyment.

with its destruction by fire during the Lord Gordon riots , an event that was utilised by the late Charles Dickens in his " Barnaby Rudge , " where the fire is described ^ n Chapters 62 and 68 , and what must have been terrible scenes are graphically pourtrayed . It is pretty generally known that the essences used in cookery are very often deadly poison , and it is only the fact of their being used in suoh infinitesimal doses that allows of their introduction into some of the most

tasty dishes , but by Langdale ' s process purified essences are prepared which though retaining all the original delicious flavour , are at the same time guaranteed to be innocuous , and even beneficial , a fact demonstrated by the Special Scientific Commission appointed some years back by the " Lancet " whose verdict was " There ought really to be a prohibition against the sale of such essence unless it is deprived of its deleterious admixture by Mr . E . F . Langdale ' s process . "

Another branch of Bro . Cove ' s business—perfumery—mig ht well ba borne in mind by those who are arranging Ladies' banquets or summer outings , he being able to supply handsome little souvenirs in the form of bottles of scent and other fancy articles for such gatherings , this portion of his business being carried on under the style or title of 3 . Delcroix and Co ., at the same address , 72-73 Hatton Garden , E . O .

Hertford County College.

HERTFORD COUNTY COLLEGE .

THE annual Sport's day of the pupils took place on Saturday , 25 th ult ., on the College grounds , New Barnet , under the presidency of the Principal , Bro . Herbert Catford , M . C . P ., who was assisted by a large number of friends , mostly parents of his pupils , who worked hard with him to secure

the success of tne different events and the comfort of the large number of visitors who were present , these including Bros . S . Brown , W . H . Hall , W . W . Morgan , John Probert , A . Shilling , Starke , and Tolkien . Bro . Rev . Prof . Shuttlewortb , M . A ., distributed the prizes , and made some very interesting remarks at the conclusion , supplementary to the running comments addressed to the boys as they came forward to receive the different awards .

General satisfaction was expressed by those who attended , at the marked progress of the boys , who seemed quite at home with their masters , and everyone of them as happy as could be . We have frequent opportunities of judging of Bro . Catford's ability as a Principal , and were glad so much praise was accorded him on the occasion , although it was nothing more than was deserved . He is supported by an efficient body of teachers , among them being Bro . John Probert , whose endeavours to teach the young idea the art

of music should be the means of turning out some good singers from the College ; those who have heard Bro . Probert can testify to his personal ability , and we believe it is his aim to make his , pupils as efficient as himself . The Head Master , Mr . Mitchell , gave evidence that he was as capable of teaching the boys manly sports as the ordinary School subjects , in fact all seems to be conducted so as to make the motto of the College a reality—Mens sana in corpore sano .
