As the little stea er puffs an paddles along you just go your neck et aightened from looking up a one of these wonderful structures, when down gn'es the- ig funnel, and uoder you go beneath anot er bridge. Several of the bridges Were bei g freshly painted and i did giveyou a shi er to see a man perch .d up so high on a single plank. A new brid e was being built t another place, and we saw a man being pu led across the river while he stood on a eg are plat- formI•hich was held by ropes nd chains and suspended from the pulley hich ran -along the rope that stretched from one shoi� to another. A perilous v yage one wo Id think to look at it ; but like many ojther adventurous enterprises, no ,thought of by those who are u Aithough the boat goes very stops every few nainutee at own is kept_ busy looking about and lo places. You get a fine view o bankment as you steam along Needle, one side of the LPerliam ings, where are the terraces, and in seasonable weather, the me friends have afternoon tea passing these buildings we cross 'what iattalled the Surrey side of and past St. Thomas' hospital an palace. The latter is, and has many years, the official maiden Archbishop of Canterbury. No the palace, where an old prison newly ereeted art gallery, presented to the nation by Mr. Tate, after whom t e gallery is named. A little farther up the river, Battersea park-, which covera-over 200 ac es of land and is a favorite place for cycliet , is on one side of the river, and 'Chelsee on tiho other: ,At the latter, the landing place was called Carlyle Pier, and I wondered why, till T found out it was called after t e famous Thomas Carlyle, whose home wasj near, and who, with other gelebritiett, was ond of a stroll on the river front, calla Cheyene walk. " Putney " is also one of t e familiar names, perhaps, because from Put ey bridge the Oxford and Cambridge boat r ce starts ,and the oarsmenhave a good ull from there to Mortlake, a distance of four and a -half miles. Up here the rivei is com- paratively free from obstruction such aa dock yards and dredges, and e • saw a goodly number of bare armed ro ere work- ing as htird_as if they were really a a boat race. They did handle their oars well and their little shells, I think they all them, just mem Lo' fly along. ' Som times we would have the excitement of a ra e between two boats, and then the stiea er people would give the head ones -a chee as they paseed. On either side of the riv r before coming to Mortlake, are -great pen corn - mons, and one could imagine he eager crowd all along the bank and t e bridge which crosses the river, watching the crack oarsmen of the two great unive pities and speculating att to who would be uccessful. Kew, with its beautiful gardens, s not far from Mortlake, and after passing nder the bridge the really pretty part of the river be- gins. In many places the path along the river bank winds in and out, gree grass on one aide and the prettiest old trees over- head. There is an old house, not far f om Kew, and which is to be plainly seen from the river, called Sion House. It was, before the time of Henry VIII., a nunnery but-- was suppressed by him. Among others who were confined within its walls before being executed was Lady Jane Grey, arlid who is said to have gone from, iteto the tower. I hope you are keeping in mind how pretty the river is and will not 'need much from me to make you understand how beautiful it all is at Richmond. Just befo c getting to Richmond we passed. through he leeks,' an experience ore always enjo s, for it seems eo'wonderfui. We didn't stop long enough at the landing place to ake our getting off worth while, but a vie from the hill, " Richmond Hill," one so o ten hears about, must be grand. It oertai ly looked very pretty from the river. On the bank were homes with green lawns a d bright, flowers, while all up the side o the hill seemed to be a mass of foliage, and only now and thentould you get a ;gnu pile of a house. The face and top of the till is all included in what is called the lark. On Unstop we could see the famous h stet called the SCA!' and Garter, and not far rom it is White Lodge, the residence of the late Duch. elm of Teck. 1 wish 1 oonld tell you bow that hill looked from the boat as ,we went °nue the river, and also of the ro ling land and fine old trees on the opposite side, All along the banktfrom Richmond ar the pret- Meet homes, meny very ancient and some of modern times. I hope I won't tire you with all these names, but they are all that we r about tra history and fiction but )vhich so often never mean anything more than a name. I know I' had often heard' of T iokenham Ferry, but didn't think eflt bola eo near a little old village on the river Thames. Alexander Pope is buried in the Twicken- ham churchyard, and on the site af his old home, which is still called Pope's ills, Mr. Henry Labouchere, M. Ith, and proprietor of " Truth," one of London's p pers, has his residence. It is a very ga looking ohalet," as the guide book said, but has so much ed to it. owly and pier, one ating the the em - pees the nt build - on which, bers and ust after d over to he river, Lambeth been for e of the far from tood, is a OCTOBER1, 12, 1900. most beautiful grounds. As you know, 'the M. P. has been getting himself somewhet into disrepute by his pro -Boer letters,- bat as he seems very fond of notoriety, guess be doesn't much mind bow he gets it, Another oldiplace we 'missed was Led- clington, and -there we -had to go through another lock. There is a very old red brink houee near Leddington ook, in which the keeper lives. From thie village up the river is very gay wlh _row boats, house boats, and launche , while all along the banks are the pre tiest little summer co - tages and cosy lo king camps. I don't au pose I could ev think of being in one 0,f the big houses or the sumnter, but I would not mind one of the cottages or even n tent in one f the many pretty spots. In- deed many of the boat houses belonging to the bi ge placer!' would.make a very com- fortable ummer cottage. If I er did know, I had forgotten that King on, on the Thames, was onoe the .capi al. It is a very old town, over a tho sand years, and seven of the early S on kings were crowned there. Surviton, t e suburb, is more modern, and has one of he prettiest promenades along the riverbank you could wish to see. The homes facing on the promenade have such pretty green lawns and bede of bright flowers and such pretty window boxes. One sees the latter every place and even in the crowded city thole oughiare some windows will haves box with its flowers and green creepers. To go back to the promenade, I noticed right in the centre of the walk a great old tree with branches that Spread to the water's edge. There was a wall at the back, and a seat in the form of a semrcirole had been 'built around the tree. As you can imagine, it was a most comfortable looking resting place. There is aleo at little old stone church on the promenade, with a square tower, that could tell of many inter- esting ceremonies that have been performed within its walls. The next landing place after Surviton, is Hampton Court, the end of the trip. It was after two o'clock when we got there, the boat being delayed by low water, so we only had about an hour to see the palace. When I speak of the landing place I have to laugh, for there is no regular pier and the boat just goes to the riverside, which is quite low. A gangway is put down from the boat and a man comes along with a pole, one end of which rests on the railing of the boat and the other on hie shoulder. Two 'men take the tickets as you get off and they keep on, without- a stop, the greatest rigmarole you ever heard. "Now ;mind your feet, ladies; take hold of the pole. If you have any pennies to Sparc, don't forget the maa at the end of the pole. Ile's a poor cripple, and this is his Only way of earning a living, so mind your feet," etc., etc. The " poor eripple" seemed to have the use of all his limbs, arid with ' the exception of a. little limp when he walked, he seemed as right as any one. Fortunately, the boat landed opposite the entrance to the court gardens, sa we were not long in getting to the letter. The pal- ace is said to be the largest, and in some re. spects the finest of the royal palaces iu Eng- land. As you know, it was built by Card- inal Wolsey, when he was in high favor with Henry yin. But the curio ns old monarch thought it a greet extravagance for a card- inal, and the bitter, to keep the peace, handed the palace, with all its grandeur, over to the King. As nothing was too good for the latter, he afterwards passed most of his time at Hampton Court. .From his time to thet taf George 111,, the palace was one of the royal residences, and it is said Charles I. passed his happiest timethere, while even Cromwell was not blind to its peculiar beauty and comforts. Gradually the palace became divided into suites of private apart- niente,hillotted by soveroigne in recognition of services to the crown and natiou. The bulk of the palace, about five-eighths of it, is now used for thitepurpose, and at present there are about 551partments. For a long time the state apartments and grounds were neglected, and it was not until the ac- cesion of Queen Victoria that these were thrown open for the public. As we had such a short time, we thought a guide book might help us, but had to ask a policeman for a key to the book. This he gave us and started is at the first staircase, the beginning of the book, The pahatiiigs on the walls, the etained glass windows and old pictures are magnificent, and one large hall, called the " Minietrel Hall," is hung with tapestries. It is said Wolsey had .a passion for beautiful tapestries, and there are some of the finest in the world in the prtiace. It seems wonderful when you see how well the colors can be preserved all these years, and the way the figures stand oat. •Among others are eight pieces of the tapeetries that are illustrative of episodes in the life of Abraham, and are so beautiful one does not even care to imagine what they might have been when first hung. The borders alone must be worth an im- mense sum of money. The first room we entered is- called the Guard, chamber, and is curiously decorated with old arms, the latter being nearly 3,000 in number. I cannot begin to tell you of all the apart- ments, but there were many beautiful 'things in them, I can assure you. All the walls were covered with old paintings, while the ceilings were beautifully decorated. The ood in the doors was solid looking, and, iu all, the carving was most wonderful. There were such quaint old iron racks and mantels to the fireplaces, a.nd I did wish one of the beautiful chandeliers were lighted., so it might be shown off to still greater ad- yantage. In One of the rooms, I think it was called Queen Anne's bedroom, there was a bed with the most elaborate hangings of silk brocaded velvet, in such exqusite eolore. Of eourse the bed had the canopy over the head, and it was rich silk, with heavy fringe aroend the edge, We hadn't time to go about the gardens, which are very large, but. we looked out at them from every room, There were so many pretty shaded walks, flewers and foliage in great profusion, and a foitotain playing here and there, jutit to mike a little variety, As I told you, we had, very little time to look about, and were more than provoked at having to leave a head -bag at the parcel counter as we went up ehe first sta1r:m.0o It was still more pro- voking to have to go away back to that oounter, over the same ground, when one might have spent the time elsewhere. But it was the law, so the policeman said, and we had tosubmit, even though we aesured him there was no dynamite in it. There is a very old astronomical clock in a tower above one of the gateways. Where it stood originally, I don't know, but it, was made in tbe time of Henry VIII., and for many years was laid aside among other old things that were not appreciated until more recent years. I really think I 'cannot take time to write more about this grand old building, with its beautiful gardens. Anyway, we found we must hurry back to the steamer, as we heard a whistle, and, of °aurae, had a run. Were rather disgusted at having to wait fifteen minutes before starting on the return tiip,Ibut decided to have some refreshments, not having cared to miss anything on the WALL PAPERS WIND)W SHADES no ERE FfiAMES _ NEW STOO NEW ST LES AT REIIflJOED PRICES 4.LEX. INT IR, ORM way. We mad9 much better time going -back, as we bad »igh water. I ,don't think / told you that we ran agronnd two or three times on ,the way 'up to Hampton Curt and wantthrough some very shallow places, but all we changed goipg back to the city. We ilsere rather amused to see three men in a boat, right out in the middle of the stream. ! They were there in the morning, fishing, of course, as no men would stay all day in one please 'unless they were in hopes of getting a good catch. Many of those who were sitting on camp stools along the bank had evidently had enough fishing for oneday, as they were not to be seen. They say you et fine fish in the Thames, hut I don't know the names. of any except iihrimps, and they are not oaught with a lie°. . There was tin much to say about the places on the way up, I had not time to speak about the peeple on board the steamer. The Majority got on board at Swan pier, but lat most of the eity landing places there wee some to get' on board. The Londoners who were on hoard were mostly of the el se who only get; a day off occasionally, an4 consequently, went with a well laden basket. There was the father and mother, andiever so many children, and one party, who at near us, were hungry all the way to Hampton Court and back. The mother out the bread and they ate it with- out butter, then they had buns, and be- tween times the father took a drink out of the bottle and ithen passed it around, but the contente see' ed harmless, so it didn't T matter how mu$h they took. The children were rather mi chievous and the mother would threaten to " smack " them, but she never did so, and they evidently knew her, for they kept on with their fun. When the father wasn't ea ing he smoked, and seemed to thoroughly enjoy his day, so did the mother when a e became acquainted with another woman, who seemed to be a kin- dred soul, to j dge from the 'conversation, There was a worian who sat behind us go- ing home, who kept up a continual moan about our being so much behind time. Then she would Wander about the steamer, and back she utould come agairt to tell her long suffering husband the time we had been going frotn the last landing pier. There were else a good many tourists on board. Two foreigners, in grey Dints and very much waxed moustaches, seemed rather disatisfieci with every one and every- thing but themselves. They were quite different from a iScotch-Canadian farmer (I am sure he was one) and his wife and daughter, who Seemed to enjoy all there was to see, and fairly beamed when the orchestra played some Scotch airs. A party of Amentans, who told each other where they "cum from," got on at Kew pier and talked all the time, I don't see how they could talk as they did and see anything, but they all said they eejoyed the trip, so I guess they belong to the people who can do two things at the same time. The captain, who also acted aat 'pilot, had quite white hair and such a breezed face, but he evidently knew every turn and twist of the riiier, and could give very minute direotione to the two big, etrapping fellows whose tatork it was to pry the boat off the sands. II am not up in nautical terms, so don't kinow what they called the great pole with a spike on the end of it, but it took the tWo men to throw it over- board and eplaelt it would go in the water, and as soon as the spike stuck into the ground the men pushed with all their might, and we would perhaps get on a bit further. It watt dark when we got to Weetminster bridge, and the lights twinkled from the many ilittle and big crafts as they went up and down the river. I have told you before about looking from the bridges and along the embankment, so need not do so again, but it is one of the sights of which one never tires, S. Mad.
