CELEBRATION of the TERCENTENARY of
the BIRTH of SITA.KSPEARE, at Stratford-upon-
Avon. The Tercentenary Committee (of which Sir Robert
N. C. Hamilton, Bart., K.C.8., is Chairman) are now receiv-

account of the Tercentenary Committee, at the Stourbridge

The Tercentenary Committee, in submitting' the subscrip-

home, the town he loved, and where he lived and died.

APPEAL.

The Committee of Management have to state that since
the beginning of the year 1861, the Roya, National Lifeboat
Institution has expended £28,550 on various Lifeboat Esta-
blishments on the Coasts of England, Scotland, and Ireland.
The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the
Society, and other means, since its formation, Is 13,220;
for which services 82 Gold Medals, 733 Silver Medals, and
£17,200 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended £75,380 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-can iages, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of
the generous support which they have received from the
British public during the past few years, a support which
has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet
of 125 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom.
Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that
rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and its Crews practised in the management of their
boats, whirh can only be effected by a large and permanent
annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their
countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so
great and truly national a work.
The Committee grateful*, acknowledge the following con
