THE LATE MR. JAMES LEWIS

... . The death of Mr. James Lewis, who succumbed suddenly on Thursday to a heart affection, robs Mr. Augustin Daly's Company of Comedians of an able colleague, and the public on both sides of the Atlantic of as genial a stage personality as it possesses. It seems only the other day that we laughed with him at the Comedy Theatre, for as the pompous, fussy Court von Counsellor Mittersteig in The ...

HER MAJESTY'S MAILS

... . Lost, stolen, and strayed letters have long played their part in modern fiction, but no invented set of coincidences can vie for a moment in interest with the numberless true romances connected both with the past and present history of the Post Office. Only the other day, a Muniment-room, which will serve as museum and storing-place for hundreds of curious and valuable documents and relics ...

GOLF-GOWNS AT THE GARRICK

... If lady golfers were in the habit of wearing such piquant and striking golf-gowns as those with which last night's production of Lord Tom Noddy has filled the Garrick stage, the golf-links would, I fancy, be crowded by enthusiastic or envious onlookers, the former, I need hardly say, masculine, and the latter feminine. Imagine, for instance, what interest would be taken in the strokes of a ...

SMALL TALK

... . The Queen is having rather cold weather at Balmoral. The Prince of Wales lias come home again, and the Duchess of York is also back. I yield to on man in restrained patriotism, yet confess to a feeling of dismal apprehension when I look forward to the sixtieth anniversary of her Majesty's reign. I could forgive the leader-writers and the ha'porths of enthusiasm that will run wild in ...

THE ART OF THE DAY

... THE ART OF THE DAT. The difficulty which exists in the choosing of a new President of the Royal Academy, however deplorable, is one which has nevertheless a very real existence. It appears that among that august body two members alone are considered (as it were, out of hand) to he fit for the position, Mr. Watts and Mr. Orchardson. Roth these gentlemen, it seems, have been approached upon the ...

Mr. Walter Scott, mainly known to the public, at large as a publisher, is one of those fortunate men who have made their way from small fortunes to geat; he is, in fact, what is anomalously called a ''self-made man, Born in 1826 in Abbey Town, a remote village in Cumberland, he became, at an early age, an apprentice to a local builder.
