THE JUBILEE BEACON FIRES.

The Jubilee celebrations are not by any means
confined to London, though there the chief interest
is necessarily centred. Almost every city, town, and
village in the three kingdoms is recognising and
commemorating the occasion in its own way by
charities, festivals, and other appropriate means.
The Jubilee bonfires which are being prepared from
end to end of the kingdom are evoking much interest.
The elder brethren of Trinity House considered it
necessary to warn seamen against mistaking them for
permanent or coasts lights.
The following are the combined first and second
list 3 of the mountains and hills which will repeat and
spread the Signal Rockets to be fired from Great
Malvern at 10 p.m. and 10.30 p.m. on the-21st June,
as given by authority.
