On Monday, Lord Rosebery opened formally a swimming- bath at

the People's Palace, which he had himself presented to the Beaumont trustees. The bath stands at the western side of the grounds, behind the technical schools, and measures at present 90 ft. by 30 ft., but is to be considerably enlarged. It is lined entirely with white glazed bricks, and has cost £2,500.
