LIVERPOOL—Lord Stanley, M.P., opened a gymnasium at Liverpool on Monday. The building has been erected by a public company. A site was purchased in Myrtle-street at a cost of £2,589; and out of three competitors the design of Mr Walter Scott was chosen, the second prize being taken by Mr T. Mitchell, an apprentice with Messrs Holme and Nicol, and a member of the Athletic Club. A contract was made with Messrs Nicholson and Ayre, to erect the building for £7,060.
