itself is provided with arch-shaped windows, to ufford, no doubt, abund.nes or light. The · ervants" quarters are somewhere about the boat house, and, immediately abutting it on the in-hore side, is the gymnasium. The Club Room upstairs is divided into dressing room, club zovin, bar, office and store. The building is of red brick on a unite base, the roof boing tiled.
The plans under discussion did not show the covered-in bath house, which is to bo situated on the in-shore site of the gymnasium. The Club has not funds onongh to build thu covered-in baths at presout, but it is to be hop d this may be done on a future occasion.

A certain Foreign Minister having recently presented the EMPEROR and EMPRESS DOWAGER each with a suit of foreign clothing, the latter, who no doubt shares with all daughters of Eve an inborn curiosity and interest in matters touching apparel, wished very much to try on the dress presented to her. In pursuance of this expressed desire, Her Majesty was proceeding to her room to don it, when the chief eunuch of the Palace, Li Linx-VING, suddenly dropped on his knees and kowtowed before her.
