Brirnage, landlord of the Glanville Hotel, was fined 20s. and costs for having allowed two unregistered barmaids to serve liquor.

Lord Brassey has arrived at Canada in his famous vessel the Sunbeam, which has carried its owner over 300,000 miles to every port of the globe. Though in his 75th year, Lord Brassey took her out again—for a voyage to Canada this time—navigating her himself, as always. "The .truth is," said Lord Brassey, "that,'so far from being a strain, it is a ;rest to me to sail the Sunbeam. The sea is in my eyes a refuge from the land. As soon as my,feet are on these timbers all the petty worries that besiege a more or less public man float from me. The worries ot the sea are nothing—its winds and waves, its fogs and shoals, are old triends of mine—or old foes, which comes to the same thing. They may have rough manners now and then, but to know them is to love them. At 74 I am pretty far down the hill of life. I have sailed the Sunbeam for- over 34 years, storm and shine, and perhaps I may be pardoned for confessing that the sea at its surliest is more to my heart than the most cordial committee meeting." *
