ROUND ABOUT NOTES.Dear me ! the trials and tribulations of the Jubilee, I'll ne’er forget ! I saw some very funnysights on Jubilee Day. There were Jubilee hatsand Jubilee gowns, Jubilee ups and Jubilee downs —plenty of the latter. But never mind : ’twasworth all the trouble. God save our graciousQueen Victoria, who has played the longest innings on record, and is still not out.Th. Afhkto' Xr'lt; has some appropriate lines ( on the Jubilee. Here is a verse— i Sixty up, and still her peopleWatch her play, applaud and shout :Rising from tower and rising from steeple, Sixty up—and still not out.May she yet prolong her innings,And augment her mighty score !Batting at Britannia’s wicket,Stoutly, blithely, as before.My readers will be pleased to hear that Robert Kidd, who had the misfortune to fracture his leg playing for the London Caledonians v Tottenham Hotspur at the close of the football season, is now out of the hospital and on the road to recovery. Kidd has had rather a bad time. He contracted a chill while laying on the ground, which brought on pneumonia, and for a time he was delirious. This promising young player has decided to retire from the football field.Enfield C.C. made a draw with Clapton. Douglas for the latter batted right through the innings— 64 not out. Whilst trotting around after the match I had a friendly chat with W. H. Molleth, who had been bowling with a fair amount of success. Molleth in his day was a first-class centre forward : played for Clapton, City Ramblers, etc., has represented his County, also London on several occasions. I have verypleasant recollections of Master Herbert, he and I once came in collision in a Middlesex Cup Tie— result: 10 weeks on crutches for poor me. Ah ! Molleth, old chap, I shall ne’er forget thee !Edmonton and Paddington also made a draw. W. P. Ward scoring 93 for the latter out of a total of ITS. Edmonton responding with J13 for 6. Bassett and Barnes being not out with 2s and 12. ♦-The Enfield Tradesmen’s Cycling Carnival bids fair to rival the Jubilee Procession, weather permitting, on Wednesday next, when the Chase Park ^rounds will be brilliantly illumi nated in honour of the event.

CULLING GAZE.Bamboo is now used in place of fascines for defending river banks from floods, for making coffer dams, for filling watertight compartments of ships with floating matter, and for scaffoldings. The extraordinary strength, lightness, and durability of the wood fits it well for scaffoldings. Moreover, it does not rot in earth orvrater, and the more it, dries the more solid it becomes. Xbe price is now low, and there is every probability of the wood being generally used in the West, as it is in the East.Spectacles to guard the eyes of workmen from dust, sparks, and splinters are now made of gelatoid, a transparent material which is not brittle, and does not condense moisture on its surface, or become as hot as glass near a furnaae. This gelatoid is made by Schering, and the spectacles have been devised by Dr. Thonialla, a well-known surgeon of Berlin, uh is attached to an hospital for accidents in that city.Experiments recently made by M.
