MR EDMOND JOHNSON, GRAFTON STREET
A visit to the premises of this " Irish Jewel King" in Grafton street is one of the pleasures of Dublin life in the ordinary course of things, but between this period and Christmas it will be really worth one's while to go out of his or her way to look at, and, of course, admire with the probable view of purchase, the rare and costly articles of gold and silver work and of precious stones in their rich settings exposed for sale. Certainly nothing more beautiful than Mr Johnson's display can be witnessed in London or elsewhere ; and what should commend him still further than it has done in the esteem of his countrymen is the circumstance that he is a working jeweller, manufacturing here in Dublin in the precious metals articles which are not unworthy of vieing with the famous productions of the ancient Irish masters of the goldsmith's art. We all know the interest taken by Mr Johnson in the Exhibition recently closed at Olympia and the success which attended his efforts in maintaining for Ireland her ancient reputation in the manufacture of gold and silver in the rarest and most beautiful designs. He himself would seem to have inherited or acquired the splendid talent possessed by Irish gold and silversmiths of many centuries ago when their art was at its highest and among the many beautiful things which will challenge the attention of visitors at this season will be numerous articles of adornment for ladies specially designed and manufactured for the festive season at the well-known Grafton street house.

94 & 95, Grafton Street, Dublin
Mr. Edmond Johnson, of Grafton-street, has succeeded in collecting from old Irish country families such an array of antique silver plate as was never seen together before, every piece being worth more than its weight in gold, and the whole weighing over 2,000 ounces. This will be exhibited at Olympia, and is sufficiently grand to enchain the attention of art connoisseurs from all parts of the world. Much of it is more than two-hundred years manufactured, at a period when Dublin held a high position among the European cities in which the goldsmiths' and silversmiths' art had attained the highest perfection.

In a paragraph in our last issue referring to Mr. Edmond Johnson's collection of Irish antique silver at Olympia, it was stated, by a typographical error, that the weight was over 2,000 ounces. This should have been 200,000 ounces.

We have pleasure in drawing attention to the fact that the stand of Messrs G. and S. Laird, of Grafton street (the Paris House), is one of the handsomest in the Irish Exhibition at Olympia, and is a constant point of attraction for the feminine fashion of the great metropolis who make West Kensington a point of call. Among the many beautiful articles exhibited there is a wonderfully pretty point lace fan, mounted in tortoise-shell, with gold and silver shamrocks ; Limerick lace and bog oak fan, Carrickmacross lace and tortoise-shell fan, the " Royal Jubilee Fan," with Royal Arms artistically worked ; ostrich feather and bog oak fans, with many rich specimens of Connemara and Wicklow spar jewellery. For the guidance of visitors to Olympia we may mention that Messrs Laird's unique stand is No 198 a, and can be easily found.

This celebrated house will be really an attraction daring the Christmas holidays. Interest centres in it all the year round from the circumstance that charming varieties of the most beautiful articles of vertu and bijouterie generally are always to be found there in profusion ; but for the present season Messrs Austin have prepared a display that will dazzle citizens and visitors. In a brief notice it would be impossible to do much more than call attention to the fact that the house is a veritable showplace, filled from top to bottom with goods of the rarest and most beautiful kind, and so displayed as to secure for them instant attention. Ladies and gentlemen will miss a treat, or rather an extensive series of treats, if they neglect the present opportunity of examining the rich stores laid out for their inspection in the famous Westmoreland street house, and we must just in a general way refer to a few of them that strike us as being specially attractive. Ladies' watches are shown in great variety in solid silver and gold, and gold and silver jewellery in all forms and fashions ; claret jugs in richly cut glass and electro-plate, sterling silver nail-marked salt cellars with spoons in case ; Irish spar brooches, bracelets, and necklets; solid brass writing sets, antique designs, richly embossed ; Paris candle shades (very pretty,) with hand-painted birds ; curious banjo photo stands, full size of banjo ; wonderfully ingenious bicycle inkstands, a perfect model of the bicycle on oak stand, with spring ink-bottle and pen-wiper ; handkerchief sachets, fine satin, of various beautiful tints, and hand-painted flowers and figures ; glove and handkerchief sachets to match ; the gipsy brass kettle with swing rustic stand and lamp complete ; the Cleopatra tea kettle, with fancy stands in various patterns ; new musical tubes, curiosities in their way ; new table gongs, wrought iron and copper frame on oak stands ; peal o' bells, gong and musical instrument combined, on brass stand ; wonderfully combined ring o' bells, gong, and musical instrument ; telescopic floor lamps with automatic action for fixing them at any height ; curious new day and night clocks, with perfect clock dial, day or night ; musical cigar stands, rosewood, with gilt mounts; clocks and bronzes; novelties in electro-plate for use and ornament ; richly chased silver toilette-table requisites ;' hair brushes, mirrors, pin trays, &c ; sterling silver sugar lifters, and card cases, mechanical dogs and goats that run along the floor or table, and bark and bleat most naturally ; the Dorothy fan, a speciality, in an immense variety of colours and mounted with humming birds, at all prices from 8s 6d each ; chatelains in steel, oxydised silver and sterling silver ; belts in lizard skin, pig skin, Sec. ; and thousands of other articles which only require to be seen to be admired.

Rankin Brothers, Manufacturing Watchmakers, Jewellers, &c., 17, Royal Avenue, Belfast.—This well-known and enterprising firm was established in 1870, by Mr. Hugh Rankin, under that style, and continued so till 1875, when the firm became Rankin Brothers, Mr. Hugh Rankin being the sole working partner in the concern. They commenced first at No. 5, Castle Lane, but in 1888 removed to their present commodious premises, which have a most attractive frontage. The large shop is exceedingly well and elegantly fitted up, every appointment displaying the large and valuable stock to the best advantage. The chief line in Rankin Brothers’ establishment is their watches, a large number of which are manufactured to their own special order, and the excellence of the firm in this department has given them a name all over Ireland, and the North in particular. Among the watch stock, the intending customer has, at all times, a most abundant choice of levers, with all the latest improvements, in gold and silver, in open face and hunting cases, as well as ladies’ and gentlemen’s silver or gold Genevas at moderate prices. There is also a very fine stock of chains, especially gold alberts, in all the latest and most approved patterns. Messrs. Rankin’s establishment is especially patronised by the members of the Royal Irish Constabulary, and there is scarcely a police barrack throughout Ireland where their well-known watches and albert guards are not found. The large and spacious work-shops of the firm are situated at 35, Royal Avenue. They are well fitted up, and a large number of skilful and experienced hands are employed. An important repairing business is carried on, watches and all kinds of jewellery receiving skilled and. careful attention. During the season, also, a large tourist trade is done in Irish bog oak and Connemara marble, made up into various kinds of ornaments. The whole concern is under the able and energetic control of Mr. Rankin himself, whose experience, in every department, is of the widest and most varied description.

Electrical Belt Case—Important Irish Decision
In the High Court of Appeal in Ireland, Dublin, before the Lord Chancellor, Lord Justice Ronan and Lord Justice O’Connor, an appeal was heard from an order of Mr. Justice Gordon refusing liberty to issue and serve a writ out of the jurisdiction on Ajax, Ltd., London, the intention being to try in Dublin an action against the company by Edward McPhillips, jeweller, Bundoran, Co. Donegal, who had been supplied with an electrical belt at a cost of £21, and who now alleged that the article was worthless.
Counsel for plaintiff informed their lordships that the belt was intended, he believed, as a cure for kidney disorder. The plaintiff proposed to examine a number of witnesses— electrical engineers and others. Mr. Justice Gordon had refused liberty on the ground that the sum involved was too trivial to justify the bringing of people from England; but this Appeal Court had granted liberty in a claim for £10 10s.
The Lord Chancellor said they were bound to have regard to the convenience of the defendants and the expense that they would have to incur in coming to Dublin. They were receiving constant complaints from English and Scottish mercantile associations that their members had to come to Ireland in small cases at enormous expense. This was a case that could well be tried in the County Court of Middlesex, and they must dismiss the appeal.
