not appear fco have been admitted at thia period , for there is no record of any Chapter being held for over two years . On the 23 rd August we read as follows : "In consequence of the Principal Z . Comp . Bryant having repeatedly objected when called on to hold a Chapter , and also to
deliver up the regalia belonging to this Chapter , whioh he had obtained possession of without the consent of the Companions , several of the Companions urged the necessity of the above individuals to take into their most serious consideration the best mode that should be adopted whereby the possession of the regalia
might be obtained to enable the Companions to conduct this Chapter , and to receive the report of our principal H . and Comp . Pritchard as to the interview he had lately obtained with Comp . P . Bryant . Comp . Principal H . Pritchard stated to this meeting that he had again applied to Comp . Bryant for the regalia , and also for his
attendance as P . Z . to enable the Comps . to conduct this Chapter , when Comp . P . Bryant positively declared that he would have nothing more to do , either directly or indirectly , with this Chapter , that a sum of money was due to him , and that he should withhold the regalia until that amount was paid him . On the Companions
receiving this report it was unanimously resolved that our Principal H . be requested to call on Principal Z . once more , to tender the amount stated to be due from this Chapter to Comp . Bryant , so that the regalia may be immediately given up to this Chapter to enable the Companions to conduct the business of this Chapter , whioh had got so very muoh in arrears . "
No Chapter , however , waa held till the 29 th March 1831 , when Bro . John Storey Perleaze , elected member for the town in the following March , and again in 1833 , vice Mr . J . Barlow Hoy , who was unseated on petition , was proposed for membership . Bro . Charles Bromley and several others
were proposed afc fche same meeting . The offending Bryant presided , but matters do nofc appear to have been so harmonious as fche record would make them appear , as there ia a note that " Companion Slade presented himself at the door of this Chapter , but was refused admission by
Companion Bryant only . " At the next meeting ( 25 th July 1831 ) it was resolved that in reforming the Chapter after io long lying dormant , the Companions be excused quarterages from the lst July 1828 to the 31 st December
1830 . "Bro . J . S . Perleaze , Esq ., M . P ., " and others were admitted , and with the minutes of this meeting the record of this old Chapter closes , and with the " reformation " a new book was opened . —Hampshire Independent .

HOLIDAY RESORTS .
AS is usnal at this season of the year , the London , Chatham and Dover Railway officials are making arrangements for the accommodation of the special traffic which may bo expected on its system during the next few months . Thi-i Company haa the advantage of serving a large number of popular sea-side resorts , withiu easy reach of the great metropolis , and aa a consequence may rely ou a fair share of patronage , but as most of its points of interest may bo
approached by another route , it remains for the Chatham and Dover to create advantages for itself which shall entitle it to special recognition . Fast trains and a frequent service have done much to popularise this line in the past , and in these respects the programmo for the coming season shows that the management ia alive to the advantage of activity and progress . We understand also that
frequent excursions will be run , while special terms are offered for family and tourist parties . For the Continental traffic the Chatham and Dover also announce special facilities . There is a daily club train to and from Paris , which is reached in eight hours , the trains consisting of long bogie saloon cars , warmed throughout and lighted by electricity , while a refreshment car is attached between Calais and Amiens . A novel feature ia the Customs examination of baggage
en route , so that passengers are spared the obnoxious delay and muoh of the interference whioh has so long been associated with tbe sorntiny . A Club service is also arranged between London and Brussels , whioh is reached in eight hours ; and between London and Cologne , fourteen hours . Sleeping accommodation is also provided by these trains , whioh are becoming more and more patronised by the travelling public , as day by day their advantages are more widely made known .
