This is the out- standing agricultural exhibit of the British Isles. From Southampton they proceeded to London by bus, and this, their first trip in England, was greatly enjoyed. The south of England is exceedingly beautiful at this time of year. Three days were spent in Lon- don during which time they visited all the historical points . of interest such as Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral., The British Mae - Kensington Gardens, Royal Museum, Buckingham and St. James Palaces, Tower of London, and the Mounting of die King's Guard.

Leaving London they went up the west side of England, visiting Ox- ferd, Chester, Carlisle, Blackpool, Windermere and thence to Edin- burgh. At Stirling, Bridge of Allen, they- called on Mr. Spittall's sister, who was delighted to hear of him through men from his Canadian home town. Pitlichry, via Loch Tay and Loch Lomond was the next call and then to Glasgow. A trip by boat down the • Clyde to Loch Gilspeacl and back by bus to Glasgow. At Loch Gilspeacl they saw relatives of Mr. Crawford's. They then proceeded to Ayr and Kilmarnock, where they bowled on a green 200 years old. Jack and Alex. each bought a pair of bowls there 100 years old. Steen- raer came next and from there they took tate boat to Belfast, Ireland, and spent a day there. On their re- turn to Stranraer, they returned to London, going back by York and An aeroplane trip to Paris was very interesting. The plane travelled at a height of 8000 feet and covered the 225 mile trip in 2 hours. 40 pas- sengers were aboard. Two days were spent sight-seeing in Paris, and then back to London. Kilmarnock was not the only pIaCe that they played on the greens, as they found time to enjoy a game at several other points. ' 'This is a very meagre outline of the trip but will serve to show how tompletey one can visit England and Scotland in a little over a month, All four enjoyed. their delightful and interesting trip, and hope that some time in the future they will be able to go again.
