 FKKK CABLKGKAMS. 
 
 The Associated .\tlantic Cable Companies, together with the Great Xoilh-Western 
 Company of Canada and the Western Union Telegraph Company of America, have 
 very liberally permitted Members of the liritish Association visiting Canada to send and 
 receive without charge telegraphic messages under the following restrictions: 
 
 (l) The free privilege to be limited to messages of a strictly social or family 
 character, passing between Members of the Association to their friends in 
 the United Kingdom, and 7'/V, 7iersa ; the free prwilegc to cense after the 
 \ ' ///essdx'es- have left the termini of the Companies concerned. 
 
 . , (2) The Association to designa;-; the oflicers authorii^ied to send and receive the 
 messages in question in London and Toronto respectively, and no other 
 persons to be allowed to act. 
 • (3) The messages to be considered as 'service messages,' to be forwarded only 
 when the cables are tree from paid traltic. 
 
 (4) The privilege is to commence on August i6thand cease September 4th. 
 
 (5) The privilege is to be used by or for Members only who have been elected in 
 
 lOngland, not Associates or Members elected in Toronto. 
 
 (6) Each Member to be allowed to send and to receive free of charge two tele- 
 
 grams. Mach telegram to consist often words, including the addresses. 
 
 (7) Twenty-five cents (l/) to be paid for the retransmission in the United 
 
 Kingdom of each message. 
 
 As the office of the Association is closed during the time of the Meeting, it has been 
 arranged with Messrs. Cook iv: .Sons, of Ludgate Circus, ll.C. (who have, with great 
 liberality, placed their services at the disposal of the Association), that they should act 
 as the authorized officers in London designated above in condititm (2). The authorized 
 officers at Toronto will be the local Secretaries there. The use of the voucher 
 number will abbreviate th"; addiess of the member sending or receiving a telegram; 
 Coupon, London, ensures the niessage l>eing delivered to Messrs. Cook iS: Sons, Ludgate 
 Circus, who will then telegraph the message to the member's address in Great Britain 
 or Ireland. 
 
 Suppose, for instance, that Mr. Brown, whose member's ticket number is 1000, and 
 who lives at 10 Forge Road, Hammersmith, wishes to telegraph home from Toronto. 
 I lis message runs thus : — From 1000 to Coupon, London (so and so). The message is 
 delivered to Messrs. Cook ; they look in the numbered A'-sociatiou list, and telegraph 
 the message on to the above address of No. 1000. (For this Mr. Brown must pay 25 
 cents to the local officers of the Association at Toronto.) If Mr. Brown's friends wish 
 to telegraph to him, they send their message to Messrs. Conk's office, whence it is for- 
 warded, and it will run thus :— From 1000 to Macallum, 7'oronto (so and so). The 
 message is delivered at the office of the Associrdion, and is then handed or telegraphed 
 to Mr. Brown at his Canadian addre.^s. 
 
 A short code of familiar phrases, for which we have to thank Messrs. Cook, is 
 appended. This may be of service to meinbets in enabling them to condense their 
 messagw.
