of its aniironen. John Doe's Auction. Fridge Manual is the newest work on the subject, and will remain, for some time at least, the standard work on the game. In a bantor- ing style, full of wise sare and modern instances," the' author has written an illam. inating manual. He takes the novice step by step through each lesson and the intricacies of the game are clearly explained; the sport is enlightened and will find in it a veritable | mine of authoritative information. The two chapters "Copy Book Headings" and. "Philosophy" are candid to the verge of brutality, but he who lays them to heart will profit much. The series of typical basis and typical austions from One Spade to Two No Trumps should be mastered by the earnest student, and when he has allowed the thirty- three preachmonts to sink deep enongh he may hope to come within mensuresḥle distance of the author's remarkable score of 47,180 points in eight months,
Creatures of Clay. By W.TEIGNMOUTH SHORE.
London: John Long & Co.
The title is woll chosen. It represents. story of people who are above all natural, who are very human, and with whom the render feels that he has much in common. The author pos sasson style which is characterised by simplicity and clearness, and his latest production is in overy way worthy of his previous offerts. It is

don: John Long, Ltd. Those who love the historical novel--and their name is legion-hill revel in the latest produc. tion of Mr. Forster's. It is a romance of the moss-trooping days, of the time when the long drawn ornity between England and Scotland was subsiding, and when both nations were com- ing to realise the value of peace. Prior to that, however, the reivers on both sides of the border lived their lives of aturt and life, and many brave men had to be sacrificed before the king's writ ran throughout the land.
