respectively . This is a splendid programme , as anyone who has made such an excursion , will readily aclmit , but the great feature in connection with it is that everything is arranged and carried through in the most luxurious style , under the supervision of experienced managers , without any trouble or anxiety for the excursionists—at the inclusive charge of one guinea—and this , as Bro . Tod Pullen pointed out after the dinner on Tuesday , without the necessity of making any previous arrangement , or fixing on a day which . might afterwards prove inconvenient or inauspicious .
Tuesday , although somewhat early in the season , was an ideal day , and the company of about forty who made the trip spent a really enjoyable time , chaperoned as they were by the General Manager of the Great Western Railway , the Superintendent of the Line , the Advertising Manager , and other chiefs of Departments , who not only made most successful efforts to communicate happiness to their guests , but appeared to be equally fortunate in securing happiness for themselves . Most of them have learnt the lessons of Freemasonry , all of them exemplified its prominent features on the occasion .
0 : 1 Tuesday we made the trip up river as far as Pangbourne , and enjoyed half an hour ' s stroll around that quaint old village , reaching Henley on the return shortly after 6 o'clock , quite ready for the dinner promised at the Red Lion , despite the fact that we had enjoyed a most sumptuous lunch on the trip up river . The dinner was also excellent , and was presided over by Bro . Harris , with Bro . Tod Pullen in the vice chair . The meeting was not wholly Masonic , and so we missed much of the speech-making we are accustomed to , for it certainly seems that nowhere outside of the Craft are there to be found
such ready speakers , or so much to talk about . However , the opportunity was . . taken of mentioning what was proposed during the season , and in this connection we have the express wish of the Managers of the Hotel to make it known that Tuesday ' s experience in regard to the luncheon and dinner were by no means exceptional , unless it was that the menus were not quite so elaborate as it is intended to make them under the more favourable conditions of summer weather . To give a better opinion in regard to this , we here reproduce the menus :
Cold Lunch on Launch . Boiled Salmon and Cucumber . Galantines of Veal . Roast Fowls . York Hani . Roast Lamb and mint sauce . Pressed Beef . Steak and Kidney pies .
Salads . Compote of Fruits . French Pastry . Cheese , Butter , & c .
Dinner at Red Lion Hotel , Henley-on-Thames . Hors d'CEuvres ( varies ) . . Consomme a la Brunoise . Boiled Turbot and Shrimp sauce . Devilled Whitebait .
Supreme de Volaille a , l'Ecarlate . Roast fore-quarter"Lamb and mint sauce . New potatoes and cauliflower . Cabinet pudding , sauce Sabayon . Compote pears and rice . ¦ Anchovy Toast .
Dessert . As we have said , this excellent provision is made at the inclusive charge —for rail , launch , lunch , and dinner—of one guinea per head , and to prove that it is not expected that persons shall spend a small fortune in wines , in order to make up a higher average , we quote the tariff from the Launch price
list : Whisky , Gin or Rum 4 d per glass ; Brandy , Port , Sherry , Claret or Foreign Liqueurs , Cd per glass ; Ale , Stout , Minerals or Cyder , 6 d per pint bottle ; Sc . Julien or Neirstein 5 s per bottle , or 2 s 9 d the half ; Wachter ' s Royal Charter 1893 or Dummy 1892 , 12 s per bottle , or 6 s Gd the half . It is proposed to serve the Table d'Hote dinner at the Hotel at separate tables , or arrangements can be made on the day for the special convenience of parties .

The Woman ' s Exhibition . —Our esteemed Bro . Imre Kiralfy must be congratulated upon having achieved a remarkable success out of that which in other hands must have been foredoomed to failure . In spite of the tendency of the age to extend to the fair sex almost equal rights with man , it is a lamentable fact that nearly all business affairs conducted by women come to grief in one way or another , and it required no small amount of thought to devise such attractions , with the works and arts of woman for its
basis , as would draw the public to Earl ' s Court . The Ladies' Committee may therefore be complimented upon their sagacity in enlisting the experienced and resourceful brain of Bro . Kiralfy to steer their venture through the stormy sea of financial difficulties , and bring it to the desired haven of success . In every possible capacity we find here women employed ; , as cashiers , ticket collectors , waitresses , musicians , guides , and all other positions usually filled by men , except where strength or manual labour is
required , with the result that the public find a charming exhibition in no way behind any of its predecessors . In our changeable climate it is necessary to provide amusement both in and out of doors . Of course in the warm weather the principal features will be the beautiful gardens , bright with flowers , the lake with its Canadian chutes and pretty little Swan boats , the pony carts and camel rides and the enlivening strains of the three Ladies ' Orchestras ; but when it rains there are other attractions well worthy of
inspection . There is a fine collection of paintings , and of sculpture , by women , the Queen of Roumania's unique collection of dolls , the historical and loan section , together with the lace workers , ' nurseries , and innumerable stalls for the sale of fancy articles . But the principal attraction of the whole Exhibition is undoubtedly the living tableaux of the Woman of All Nations , designed by Bro . Kiralfy . Here wo have the enormous Empress Theatre divided into partitions pictorially representing the homes and their mistresses of all quarters of the globe , with the . exception , we think , of
Australasia . In a corner of the grounds near the Lake is established a tribe of Dinkas from the Darfur region of the Soudan , who live in thatched huts and represent , so far as is consistent with our modern ideas , the wild untutored savage to the manner born . There are numerous side-shows , and the Gigantic Wheel , in perfect , order , still appeals to those who wish to rise in the world—to the height of 300 feet . . Altogetber it is a very notable exhibition and given fine weather there is no doubt that it will be enjoyed till the autumn chills drive the patrons to their firesides .
