MASONS OUT OF TOWN .
AMONG the many places to which the tired Londoner betakes himself for recreation , there are few more pleasant , though perhaps there are many more fashionable , than the watering places of the East Anglian coast . From Cromer , —the . favoured retreat of local magnates , —whose comparative inaccessibility keeps it more select than the
rest , down to recently-discovered Clacton-on-Sea , there are endless delightful haunts , open to the German Ocean and its health-giving breezes , ancl all , to our thinking , more adapted for the great object , bathing , so far as the advantages of sandy beaches over shingly and rock y shores
captivate tho dabbler who likes to swim (?) with at least one foot on the ground . Above all the eastern watering places within reach of London , we confess to a strong predilection in favour of the ancient town of Great Yarmouth . In addition to the usual delights of reposing on the beach
and wandering on the piers , imbibing the sea-breeze , not unmingled with tobacco smoke , we can enjoy the delights of inspecting the herring fishery , and , if we choose to dive into the recesses of the older and less watering-placeish part of tho town , of saturating ourselves with the aroma
diffused in the preparation of the succulent bloater . Here , too , is the old "jetty , " preferred by all habitues of Yarmouth to the more stately modern piers , and on this , at the
proper time of the year , a distinguished M . M . is generally to be seen , sinking the head of a department in a compound of Mr . Chucks ancl Captain Cuttle , and surveying the herring fleet with the eye of a Xerxes .
The visitor will at once be struck with the very handsome column commemorating Nelson ' s victories , at the southern end of the town , and near the extremit y of the peninsula formed by the sea and the embouclrare of several
rivers , —locally known as Breydon Water , —on which the town is built , and will not , if his curiosity leads him to a closer inspection , fail to be yet further delighted with the naivete which led the local magnates of the time to inscribe

possessing such a number of odd-looking alleys . Their number is indeed so great that the nomenclators of tho place appear to have utterly failed in giving- them names , and have contented themselves with numbering them after —or probably before—the manner of our American cousins .
Under the present arrangements of the Great Eastern Railway , not to mention the boat companies , Yarmouth has become very accessible , and a " Saturday till Monday " visit is now much more practicable , by the aid of special fast trains , than it was in the clays when the dreary round
through Cambridge and Norwich was the only alternative for those who feared sea-sickness , and a day may be very profitably spent in looking round the curiosities of the town and its immediate surroundings , not forgetting , if on Sunday , a visit to the beautiful old church , and , whatever day it be , a dip in the briny wave .
There is one point in which tho neighbourhood of 1 armouth cannot , we think , be surpassed by any part of England , —we allude to fishing . Certainly trout and salmon are not obtainable here , but are they anywhere , except with difficulty and expense ? every petty trout-stream being
preserved , and necessarily so . But for those who are not above bottom-fishing , wo venture to say that they cannot tell what it means till they have visited Norfolk . Tho " big takes " chronicled in the weekly reports from the Thames , in our sporting contemporaries , sink into
insignificance beside the every-day catches of these waters . How would the potterer after illegally-sized roach and dace at Teddington or Moulsey like to reckon his fish by the stone ? And despite the somewhat greater expense of the railway journey , we think that the whole cost of a few days' fishing
here would not exceed that of the same number of days on the Thames or Lea by any great amount . The " broads " or lakes which abound in this neig hbourhood literally swarm with fish , principally bream , but the perch aro very fine
and tolerably numerous , and in winter large jack may bo taken by fair fishing , though the poaching habit of using trimmers or " liggers " as they are here called , is productive of much mischief . Most of the "broads " are free to tho
angler , and the only difficulty is tho procuring a boat , which is indispensable . We may recommend the " Eel ' s Foot , " at Ormcsby Broad , as an excellent place to obtain boats . It is disgusting to think how these splendid fisheries are netted ancl the fish absolutely thrown away , and still
more so to read letters in a sporting paper from some neighbouring snob defending the practice ; but , despite this wilful destruction , any of the chain of lakes communicating with Ormesby Broad will , on a favourable day , afford more
fish than the angler will care to carry away . Ancl many of the others will give oven better sport than these . We were conversing some time since with an old Thames angler , to whom we described the g lories of our beloved " broads , " ancl who informed us that ho " did not care about still-water
fishing . " We must say that we failed to see tho difference between Thames punt-fishing and sitting in a boat on a " broad . " But if any of our readers are possessed with similar scruples , we can refer them to river-fishing , equal ty

For those who like sea-fishing , which we confess we do not , there is endless sport to be had , even by fishing from the piers . The non-fisherman will wonder , not at the quantity of herrings to bo seen in London and all over the
