Our Weekly Budget.
Palace , all of these are very agreeable ways of spending a few hours . Even Grand Lodge itself has visited Hampstead on such an errand , but that was a long time ago , and then the journey to Hampstead was a long affair . The place itself was right away from London , and the visitors were
more select than they are now-a-days . But the region about Boxhill and Dorking is easily accessible . The Grays are within a short ride by rail , and other equally pretty spots , north , south , east and west , are well within our reach . Why should we not cultivate more these genial meets ?
We should know more of each other , and , if it be possible , be still more intimately banded together . As to expense , it would cost less to arrange and carry out two or three such summer recreations than would a single stately and elaborate banquet . The chief obstacle , perhaps , is this
capricious climate of ours , one day all sunshine , the next all tears . But shady arbours are pleasant harbours of refuge , even for a band of brothers , and if there are
any sisters and daughters in the case as well , why—so much the jollier , say we . We commend the simple idea to the notice of our readers . We may get a wrinkle or two from one or other of them .
Those who take an interest in the scenes of the Prince of Wales ' s royal progress through India have now the opportunity of seeing a series of drawings by Mr . Simpson ,
the well-known artist of the Illustrated London News . The sketches are on view at Mr . Thompson ' s , Burlington Gallery , 191 Piccadilly , and will well repay a visit of inspection .
The military athletic meeting at Lillie Bridge , on Friday and Saturday last , was , as we expected , a great success . The second day was brilliant as regards the weather , and the attendance , therefore , was on a larger scale than the day previous . The mounted contests were the great
attraction , for the pedestrianism was not above the average . The Duchess of Teck , who with her husband and the Duke of Connaught were present , afterwards distributed the prizes , saying a kindly word to each of the recipients . Had
Hurlingham not offered several attractions , in th « shape of La Crosse and Polo , Lillie Bridge would no doubt have drawn more spectators . The same Royal party visited likewise the rival display of sport .
The political world is a little calmer , especially since Mr . Disraeli ' s declaration , last Friday , in the House of Commons . His statement has given great satisfaction both at home and abroad , as is evidenced by the rise in the most important stocks on the various Bourses . The Porte
has offered the insurgents an armistice , which the latter are said to have rejected . This ought to excite the good will of the European powers towards the Turk . Servia has received a civil note from the Sultan ' s government , and has answered civilly . A Servian representative will be
present at the investiture of the new Sultan , and Roumania will also be present on the occasion . The Khedive will also be present in person . All kinds of rumours are , of course , afloat . General Ignatieff is said to have been recalled from his post of ambassador at Constantinople ,
Prince Gortschakoff to have resigned his chancellorship . All these must be taken for what they are worth . One piece of news is certain , that the Emperors of Russia and Germany have met , and cordially embraced each other at Ems . It is said that the Emperors of Russia and Austria
will meet later . Be it so . With all these personal interviews , the three Emperors ought to manage somehow to keep the peace of Europe from being disturbed . Bo this as it may , tho action of the British government has raised the fame of the jwsent minlstrr . It is felt everywhere
that England is si ill a power in Europe , iu saying this , we imply nothing disrespectful to our late government . 1 * ^ ^ uch terrible commotion occurred while they were in pt ' . v . ir . The Franco-German war was a struggle between twn i '" eat rival states , but an Eastern outbreak menus serueiuhig not . very fur short of a general European war . May such a catastrophe be averted !
As already announced , the Provincial Grand Lodge of Cornwall will hold its next General Communication at the Town Hall , Falmouth , on Thursday next , the 22 nd inst ., at 10 a . u ? . precisely . At twelve o ' clock the brethren
will walk in procesrfion to chmvh , when service will be held , and the sermon preaches ] by Bro . the Rev . J . K . Let ' ibridge , P . G . Chaplain . After service , the procession will be re-formed , and return to the Lodge Room , when the officers for tho year will be appointed , and the other
business of the meeting concluded . A banquet will follow , at 3 p . m ., at the Polytechnic Hall , tickets for which , price 6 s each , exclusive of wine , may be obtained at the Royal Hotel Bar , of Bro . Charles Trevithick P . G . D . C , Bro . James Sims A . P . G . D . C ., or of the P . G . Stewards . Arrangements have been made with the Cornwall and West
Cornwall Railway Companies to issue first and second class tickets to Falmouth on 21 st and 22 nd , and available for return up to and inclusive of 23 rd of June , at the usual single fares , on members producing their Masonic clothing at the time of booking .
On Monday the Crystal Palace will offer a special attraction . A great Aquatic Fete will form part of the day ' s programme , and there will likewise be a series of swimming matches in university costume , the first race being fixed for 4 p . m . The following is the list of events : —400 yards
Handicap , open to amateurs , for three prizes , the first of which will be a handsome silver watch , presented by Bro . Sir John Bennett , 200 yards Hurdle Race , over open boats , three prizes ; 100 yards Siamese Twin Race , two prizes for the first couple ; 100 yards in complete suits of
clothes , which must weigh not less than four pounds , three prizes ; pole walking for a live pig , and a live duck hunt , together with an aquatic tournament . Entrance fee to each race , ls , and to the Siamese Twin race , ls the couple . The prizes will be presented in the Concert
Room at the close of the entertainment , by Bro . Sir John . Bennett , and considering how necessary an accomplishment swimming is , both to ladies and gentlemen , and how desirable it is that every encouragement should be given to young people to acquire it , we trust the enterprise of the
Crystal Palace Directors in organising such a fete , and the energy of the promoters in preparing for it , will meet with a fitting reward . We hope there will be a numerous attendance of visitors to witness the contests . Every information may be had of Bro . Hadley Prestage , Hon .
