Bro . Arthur T . Timewell's handsome marble rink was opened on Saturday last , when , spite of the obstacles to be encountered from the rain , which scarcely ceased during the day , a very large company assembled . The space laid with marble for skating purposes covers an area of 18 , 000
feet , and this is exclusive of corridors , platforms , & c . Bro . Timewell is the architect , and has personally superintended the erection of the building , which presents a most elegant appearance . Judging from tho success that attended the inaugural proceedings , we think this cannot fail to . be one of the most fashionable resorts of its kind .
We are deeply impressed with the importance of dining . We are of the same mind as Dr . Johnson , who considered a man who neglected his belly must be capable of any atrocity—we do not , however , use the word in its Bulgarian sense . A man is certainly not selfish who carefull y
studies what to eat , drink , and avoid . The man who shovels into his mouth large slabs of beef or mutton , and then washes them down with successive tankards of beer , may be said to eat in the sense in which savages perform that function , but assuredly he does not dine . Again , the
man who is indifferent to what he eats and when , and how his victuals are dressed , is a barbarian pure and simple . He may be well-clad , worth plenty of money , and even in a certain sense educated , yet is he for all that a barbarian . The man of taste studies the question of feeding . He may
luxuriate in a simple chop or steak—such things are luxuries—but he is careful the chop or steak shall be well and delicately served . He may indulge in a set dinner , and in such case he is careful to regulate the several courses so that they follow appropriately and consistently with one
another . But the culinary resources of very few private establishments are equal to the preparation of an elaborate dinner ; indeed , there are not many plain cooks who can send up even a plain chop or steak to perfection It becomes a question , therefore , where shall we satisfy the
reasonable demand of our bellies for good wholesome food at a reasonable cost ? Well , London is certainly large enough to maintain thousands of such establishments , yet tho few there are which are really able to satisfy this demand may easily be reckoned . Certainly , among this
chosen few may be included an establishment known to the public as the Holborn Restaurant . It has not always been known as such . In years gone by , it was the Holborn Baths ; subsequently it was transformed into the Holborn Casino ; and , latterly , it has been improved into a dining
establishment , and having again and again tested its merits , we may certainly pronounce it to be one of the best of its kind in London . Private dinners may be had in cosy little rooms , or the guest may partake of the regular dinner at the fixed charge ; and if he elects to dine
between the hours of 6 . 0 p . m . and 8 . 30 p . m . he may further enjoy the very artistic performances of an excellent band of music . In short , a Holborn dinner should be eaten , not talked about ; at all events until it has been eaten . The resources of the establishment are equal to the
production of any and every delicacy ; the wines are excellent , the service good , and the accompanying music admirable . We may have occasion to revert to this subject in some future issue , for we repeat this matter of dining is of the very first importance . We have dined often , but
not always well , and we are thankful when we know where a good dinner may always be had . If any of our readers are dubious upon the point , let them visit this wellknown Holborn Restaurant and judge for themselves , whether or not dining as understood by its managers is not one of the Fine Arts .
On Wednesday , the 4 th inst ., another Swimming Fete was held at Brill ' s Baths , Brighton . Entertainments were given both in the morning and evening , the large round
bath being specially adapted for the purpose , while the commodious galleries enabled the spectators to have an excellent view . A race for boys under 1 G was most interesting , the distance bein g four lengths , and gold and silver medals being presented to the successful candidates . Miss Saigeman and her pupil , Miss Wilson , delighted the

performance . The sports concluded with a " duck hunt " and a greasy pole contest . The entertainment was a success . Bro . Thomas Hadley Prestage , the hon . sec . of the Victoria Park Swimming Club , acted as starter and timekeeper , Tho judge was Mr . T . S . Lawrence .
