Whe Kew Guild.— Outsiders hear but 
little of the doings of the Kew Guild 
except once or twice a year when the 
annual general meeting is held, or the 
Journal of the Kew Guild makes its annual 
debut. Since the institution of the Guild 
in 1893, however, it has been making steady 
progress, and though at first some doubt 
might have existed as to the possibility of 
raising a fund sufficient to cover the ex¬ 
penses of the printing and publication of 
the Journal, yet that misgiving has entirely 
disappeared as each successive reunion of 
the members came round. The report and 
balance sheet read out to the meeting on 
the 25th ult., showed the Guild to be in a 
flourishing state financially and otherwise. 
A considerable number of the members

which was presented by the president, Mr. 
G. Nicholson. What is more, the situation 
of affairs was so satisfactory that the hope 
was expressed that the Journal would at no 
distant date become a quarterly, as indeed 
it seemed to be in a fair way to make such 
acceleration in its appearance necessary. 
Independently of the report, the president 
spoke at considerable length on Kew as a
