All Books Intended for Review should be addressed to the Editor of The Freemason ' s Chronicle , Belvidere "Works , Hermes Hill , Pentonville , London , W . — : o : — Illustrations . Conducted by Frauois George Heath , London ; 23 Paternoster Row E . C .

THB ninth monthly number of this magazine of " amusement , art , biography , economy , invention , literature and science " well sustains the anticipations that were formed of it at the outset of the new leries . In its well . printed pages there are narratives of adventure at home and abroad , sculpture , and gossip , all of which form

imeieBtiDg reading matter , and are embellished with wood-cuts •xecuted in a superior style of the art . The opening pages this month contain a racy and entertaining paper on stalking red deer , with many hints to those who have a fancy to try their hand at tbe " noble sport" during tbe season . The author , whose ardent love of

ferns has found expression in " The Foru Portfolio , " " Where to find Ferns , " Ac , concludes his ably written series of articles on "Tho Fern Hunter ; " and Margaret Thomas , in her "Stepping Stones to Sculpture , " discourses pleasantly on bronze casting . The Right Hon . Cecil Raikes , M . P ,, forms the subject of this month ' s

biographical sketch , and an excellent portrait is given of the Postpaster General . Under the head of "Economy , " a panoramic view is furnished of some of the lovely scenery lor whioh North Wales is famed , plentifully illustrated with sketches of those sequestered nooks and expansive ranges of landscape that are so well known to

th » tourist . The literary article treats of the late Georse Eliot , accompanied by a sketch of Griff Honse , Chilvers Coton ( near «<*•eaton ) , where the distinguished novelist was bora ; and there is a chatry article on " Greenwich Hospital in Bygone Days , " before the ancient " salts" who had fought England ' s sea battle * were

expelled from their quarters by a questionably wise act , of the ^ egishitnre . Amongst the other contents there nre narratives of exciting incidents daring travel in South Africa ; ami tbe editor ' s

" " end story "Dragon Hollow" deepens in interest as the plot is disclosed . This little budget , with its miscellaneous attractions , •hould circulate widely , considering it is published at the low rate " •» threepence monthly .

"OLD MASONIAtfS" A . ND THB FESTIVAL . To the Editor of the F REEMASON ' CHBOUICM . DIAB SIB AND BHOTHEB , —The intimation given in yonr oolamoa a fortnight since that every available means should be adopted for entertaining aa many of the " Old Boys" as are " within touoh " at the Boys' Festival , was an idea whioh I have heard spoken of in

terms of the highest approbation whenever I have met brethren , either in Lodge or conversation . The idea was as worthy of Brother Biockes ' s conception as it was of general support by the Stewards and members of the Craft . Some people are apt to talk of "libaralit / gone mad" during the Jubilee year , and there may be a certain

degree of justifi : ation for the remark , seeing the legion of sohemea that have been launched with the idea of providing everybody and anybody with soma sort of entertainment , as a " memento of the event . But to include the fifty " Old Musonians " in the company who assembled , at the Crystal Palace ou Tuesday , under the

genial presidency of Bro . T . W . Tew , was altogether beside the question . The matter of expense , as you pointed out , was a mere bagatelle , and could be made up without the slightest peroeptible call upon the pocket ; while , on the other hand , the effect upon the minds of our young guests will be enormously beneficial .

AH of us who have grown old have fixed upon the memory some incident or episode whioh remains for ever green , and recalls some pleasure which is distinctive and indelible . And I know of no movement whioh will produce a more gratifying effeot than that whioh Bro . Binckes so considerately suggested .

There oouM be no shadow of a dcubt that our robust aud excellent friend , the Secretary , would achieve the object of his desire , for we know that when he pats hand to the plough there is no looking baok . Tb . it has been the distinguishing characteristic of Bro . Binckes ' i work throughout the twenty nine years he has advocated and pushed

forward the interests of our Boys School : and it was not to be hinted that he would stop short iu carrying out this essentially small affair . Seeing , then , that it has been proved , and is an accomplished faot , what avail , may you ask , to suy any more about it P Simply to assure Brother Binckes and those who oo . oper * ted with

him aud his proposal , f ' iat it has met with the hearty approbation of the brethren generally—at leaBt , BO far as I have heard , and I have met the members of a good many Lodges since that proposal was made—who regard it aa another of those acts of kindly consideration and manly generosity

for which Bro . Binckes is so proverbial . I was very pleased to see so goodly a muster of the " Old Masonians" at their table , on Taesday ; to hear the " glass house " ring with their congratulatory cheers at the anuouncemeot made of tbe result of the Stewards ' lists and tbe Binckes' Presentation . It will stamp upou the minds of

our former pupils a glowing recollection of the Jubilee year as the first during whioh they had the honour and privilege of sitting down at a Masonic banqner , and who would deny the " Old Boya " such a treat when it could be so gracefully and cheaply done ? I remain , Dear Sir and Brother , Fraternally yours , A VERT " OLD BOT , "

We are inundated with Jubilee effusions , ] nst now , and a conple of hymns from the pen of Bro . John White Oram ( music by Bro . Walter B . Bull ) are amongst the latest .

Theso " patriotic souvenirs " are entitled " Gracious Sovereign , " and " Hark ! the Bells . " Doubtless they will fiod favour amongst Bro . Oram ' s friends , and others who are interested in this class of composition .

The consecration of the George Price Chapter will take place , at the Greyhound Hotel , Croydon , this day ( Saturday ) , at Four p . m . The ceremony will be performed by the M . B . Comp . J , Studholme Brownrigg , C . B ., Grand

Superintendent of Surrey , who will be assisted by M . B Comn , Shadwell H . Clerke G . Scribe E ., B . Comps . Kev A . P ! A . Woodford , F , West , R . T . Blsam , C . Greenwood H . E . Francis , & c , Comps , H , Marcus Hobbs , J . D , Lang ton , and J . S , Fraser are the three Principals designate .

The meetings of the Kingsland Lodge of Instruction , No . 1693 , have been adjourned till September next . HOLLOWAT ' S Puts AND OINTMENT . —The combined ill effects of overcrowding , sedentary occupations and monotony of life are only too well known to those who have to puss the be .-t part of their livs labouring in factories and croivded woikrooms . The iompnlsory conflnemeit weakens

the general health and iriducxs chronic con-tirmtion , indigestion , and various f rms of skin diseases . Holloway ' s remedies : iie of priceless value to perso s of this cla-ss , for they can be used without entailing loss oi work , being purely vesretai ) e in their composition , and consequently act without harshness on the most delicate system . The experience of more than forty years proves that no meats surpass Holloway ' s remedies tor curing bad legs , bad brsaats , piles and wounds of all kinds .
