To-morrow is what is known as " Chestnut Sunday , and if the fine weather we have lately enjoyed continues we may expect to see thousands of visitors to the famous avenue at Bushey Park , where the chestnut trees , although not perhaps as forward as usual—probably for want of a little rain—are a splendid sight .

Adjoining the gates of the avenue is the Greyhound Hotel , under the new proprietorship of Mrs . Caulfield , who , our musical friends will be pleased to learn , is none other than the sweet voiced Constance Loseby of former days , when she was well known alike on the theatrical stage and the concert platform .

"A SPRIG OF ACACIA . " BEO . THE BEV . 0 . B . NOBOI ___ , M . A . ( Squire of Langton . ) T ONG years ago , old friend , Masonic Light 8 J Beamed on thy path and lent its rays to thee ; And what more joyful than returning Light

To darkened mortals who are not yet Free ? That was a gladsome hour , and well I know Thy loving heart was justly proud and gay , And prouder still thy Fellow Craft ' s I trow

Who led thy feet and guided all thy way . Now Heavenly Light is thine , thy Earthly lamp Death-gloomed has flickered in the vanished past , And Light Celestial with no worldly stamp

Shmeth for thee whilst endless ages last . Why then be sad when all is bright for thee Through circled epochs of Eternity ? Winder House , Bradford , 7 th May 1896 .
