the new Westminster Bank building at the corner of Albemarle Street has been the subject of notice in the daily Press, but the fact of the City Arms emblazoned front, facing St. James' Street, has escaped attention. The Westminster Bank has not so far adopted any crest or coat, although, in its absorption of others who used a device, it could have done so, and it is, therefore, curious to see it adopting the coat of the City Arms, and so identifying itself with West"London minster as against London. seems to be avoided in banking circles as a title. The Bank of London failed in 1866; the Metropolitan failed in 1879; the City and County Bank failed in 1875; the City Bank, established in 1855, some seventeen years prior to the City and County, has been absorbed by the Midland, and not only have the "big five" carefully dropped the word, but no other of the other merging banks has assumed it. Superstition is a thing one would hardly expect to sway the banking machines" of to-day, but certainly it would appear as if the previous records of "London "banks had some influence in the ultimate naming of the big five.'
