Worcester, England, and Worcester, Massachusetts. (F. S. Blanchard and Co.,

Worcester, Mass.)—Here we have a pleasant account of civilities and kindnesses interchanged between the English city of Worcester and its namesake in New England. The Mayor and Corporation of the former presented to the municipality of the latter two suits of armour ; this was in 1908; but it had been preceded by other kindly acts of the same kind. It was an admirable example that was thus set. Other cities and towns in this country and the States might with great advantage follow it.
