THE RULERS OF ENGLAND.
First William the Norman, then William his son,
Henry, Stephen, and Henry, then Richard and John;
After Henry the third, Edwards one, two, and three,
After Richard the second, three Henrys we see.
Fourth Edward precedes the third Richard, then press
Two Henrys, Sixth Edward, Queen Mary, Queen Bess;
Then Jamie from Scotland and Charles must be reckoned,
Succeeded by Cromwell and then Charles the Second;
Then we had James, who relinquished the throne
To William and Mary, then William alone,
Till Anne, the Four Georges, Fourth William had passed;
Victoria now reigns--may she long be the last!
To Ames Ulmer.--The latest record at hand is December, 1895. On that
date the President of Switzerland was Joseph Zemp. The official
residence is at Berne.--F. S. Davis: Order _Si Klegg and His Pard_ from
any bookseller. If you have none, write to The Baker and Taylor Company,
New York.--Janey Crowe, 13 Birch Crescent, Rochester, N. Y., plies us
with a sheet full of questions, which we are glad to answer as fully as
we are able: 1. Elvirton Wright is the author of _Majoribanks_, and, we
presume, also of the book you mention. Write to the Congregational
Publishing House, Boston, for fuller information. 2. The other author
whom you name has written many books. L. F. Meade was her former name.
Now it is Mrs. E. T. T. Smith. Her publishers are Lippincotts, Cassells,
and half a dozen others. 3. Some information is wanted about these
authors--where they live, and some interesting facts in their lives. Can
any readers supply us with morsels containing such information? 4. There
are to be Round Table prizes this year for puzzles, stories, and amateur
photographs. The puzzle prizes are to be $40 each, and there are to be
five contests. The story prizes are worth $75 for the first, $50 for the
second, and $25 for the third, and the photograph prizes amount in all
to $125. Full particulars with conditions will be announced very soon.
5. No Round Table reunion has been planned.

Any questions in regard to photograph matters will be willingly
answered by the Editor of this column, and we should be glad to
hear from any of our club who can make helpful suggestions.
OUR ANNUAL PRIZE CONTEST.
We have received many queries since the appearance of the Prize Offers
as to the exact nature of the photographic prize competition, showing
that our amateurs were looking forward to and preparing for the yearly
event of the club. Each person should read the announcement of the Prize
Offers, and the rules governing the contest, in the October 27 issue of
the ROUND TABLE.
