Several other stamp collectors from this city also visited the exhibition durs ing the week.

 A new set of Bermuda postage stamps. pictorial in general make up and design, employing for the first time the picturesque native scenery as q background, marks the latest addition to the collec. tions of British America. This set was designed prior to the demise of King George V and as Q result his medallion appears on several of the stamps.
