features and experiences of the snow mountain climbs that made 

 that northern outing one of the most pleasurable we have ever 

 held. Miss Cadwalader was one of the few women of our Club 

 who made the three ascents of Hood, Rainier, and Shasta that 

 summer. The article is well illustrated. M. R. P. 



"The Canadian This annual publication of the Canadian 

 Alpine Journal."* Alpine Club continues to hold its high 

 standard of excellence. The 1910 issue, re- 

 cently received, contains the various articles and photographs 

 relating to the Club Outing of 1909. Mt. Robson, an interesting 

 account of whose first ascent was contained in the July, 1910, 

 Appalachia, forms the theme of three articles, and there are stories 

 of two other first ascents — "The North Tower of Mt. Goodsir" 

 and the "First Traverse of Mt. Victoria." Papers on "An Ad- 

 venture With an Eruption of Mt. Pelee," "On Mt. Hood," and 

 "With the. Scottish Mountaineering Club at Easter" mark the 

 growth and expansion of the club's interests, which have hereto- 

 fore seemed national only in character. Among the lighter 

 articles "A Graduating Climb" can be heartily recommended to 

 every participant in a mountaineering club's outing, as a more 

 amusing account of the tenderfoot attitude has never been pub- 

 lished. As usual the illustrations are remarkably fine. M. R. P. 



"The Mid-Pacific The initial number of this magazine comes to 

 MAGAZiNE."t us in attractive cover and with no less at- 



tractive contents. Among the many outing 

 articles the one entitled "The Trail and Mountain Club," by 

 Guy H. Tuttle, brings us in touch with the activities of a new 

 group of nature lovers. The article tells not only of the organi- 

 zation of a mountain club in Honolulu, but also gives details of 

 the several trails and rest houses which have already been 

 opened, and in addition there is much work in progress and on 

 a very generous scale. When we remember that shelter from the 

 torrential rains of the tropics is very necessary, these houses are 

 an important item in a scheme for outings. "The Hawaiian Trail 

 and Mountain Club" further proposes to issue trail maps of each 

 island in the group, and to publish pamphlets giving information 

 about them. A trail chopped through a forest of matted tree- 

 ferns and interlacing creepers is a most invaluable aid to en- 

 thusiastic explorers. The reviewer once on a time tried to climb 

 the wall of the lao Valley, ascending through the untouched 

 forest, and thus more heartily endorses the work of this new 

 club. Long may it prosper. H. M. LeC.
