Holidays in the West of Eng- 



land-— The London and South Western 

 Railway Company have issued their four- 

 teenth annual official guide, and, like its 

 predece^ors, contains much that is useful 

 and of interest to those who purpose taking 

 their holidays at the various pleasure re- 

 sorts on the company^s system. Upwards of 

 eighty of the most attractive places in the 

 south-west of England are described, and a 

 considerable number are illustrated . The 

 guide contains a list of hotels and other 

 establishments that provide accommodation 



for visitors.
