ROYLAND NOTES.  Tens. led by the contournr ate au,. %snowy of the Metrotaolis from this district. arid also by a conveuient exeunt.... I notorneyed to London. in company with an esteemed memleor ut the Hoyland Sebool Board. nu Well.san. week, anal aoy signs of disorganisation or mental abe.rrattott perceptible in this week's vapour. ings may rightly be ascribed to she inevitable reaction caused loy the labour .insulted in that operation. For w did go the pan:. and no utistake. and the sightseeing eceoniploshed saline the short osoriorl of four days o still certainly put Mho the stsoole anv efforts achieved tinder the wing ut a personally cOndueted tour. To go Mut details coneerniug our exploratton col tit aught lest capital of student or any other times. would almost exhaust the rnsourccs of a three-VOlllnle 001,1. as IIOVQI4 go now-a-days. and I certainly do not. intend to indict upon the reader oily hairowing description ot our tests of enolotraure. although I o.ventu... landed home w jib a !AMC foot. and in the very la, stage of exhaustion. We waspd to crowd nitro our repertoire visits to the Royal Aquarium. the National (lallery. W..vniinster Abbey, St. Pour.. Crystal Palace, Hyde Park, Pitman's Metropolitan School of Shortlisead, where a native of this district occupies NH bonotirsble end lucrative position, the venerable Towel. of Loudon. the Alhambnt. Empire. mid I.yrie theatre. besides reconnoitering the Law Courts. Scotland Yard. Old Bailey. the Strand. Fleet Street. Pall Mall, Downing Street. St. James' Park. and the Houma of Parliament. At Westminster Abbey we leer evidently taken for suspicion. chaneters. and our travelling bags were eyed askance by the vieilent guardian of the oweee. but with a dignity of bearing only to be expected from a member Of the school board, my worthl friend repudiated the infercnee that we were dynanniards, and the first • sound of our mellifluous northern accent was sofSetent to re-establish our entioeito respectability. Ott Friday morning we were fortunate enough to obtain a glimpse of the victorious Sint.% who was on his way .00 the big rec. ption at the Guild Hall. and we felt that our tourney had been distinctly worth the trouble. when the bronzed individual alluded to bowed effusively to the representative of the Hovland School Board, at least, that was the impremios conveyed to my worthy friend. We also negotiated London Briduo Bfackfriars. and the Tower Bridge. to say nothing of Nelson's colunin. the Moulmein. anti Cleopatra's Needle, and these places, taken in eonjunction with others, too numerous to mention, and the fact that we had a long ride from the city to our revie'rtive diggiogs obeli evening, combined to form a somewhst compendious. and if not exhaustire, at any rate eshausting oorogramrne.  To come down to local matters seems a rather long desretit. but in the interesta of this locality I must fore the inevitable. albeit I should act upon the priiwiple that brevity is the soul of wit. The Arse uvvrting of the Nonconformist Cotmril was a distinet vo•ceist. and the gathering on Monday evening last . an effective answer to the charge of indifference .11,8140USIIIV levelled at the beads of our respected twinafolk. The meeting was certainly not a crowded c. but earnestness, and even enthusiast,. amply ..uir up the difference. and appreciably affected the ~.resting nature of the breezy &admires.  - To turn to the opponite side of the picture. I an, glad inote 'bat the church pie interested in St. Andre... Infant School srortd au unqualified emcees uitl their bazaar. and Ow opening by the titled lady, rho no kindly lent bee &sentence, together frith the satisfactory financial remit achieved. proven that the destb.knell of the eetablinhinent hoe not yet been sounded in this district.  That philanthropic inetitution. the Pbrt of Bull Sailor Boys* Orphanage. would be comadersbly bewailed by the mlendid concert given at the Magyar Market Hall. on Wedneeday evening. when • Ivry respectable audience gathered to hear the comprehrn. u. programme annonnamil to be given. The lamentable suicide of Mr. Benjamin Brimfield, the genial landlord of the Oats Inn. Borland. has been the cause of considerable comment throughout tlev dietriet. and greet sympathy ie being I a for the unfortunate widow and children.. Culseeil
