LETTER FROM BELGIUM.
Miss Findlater's Travels in the
Old Land
Hotel De Belle -vile,
Bruxelles, July 21,'05.
Dear Everyone,—Here I am in Brute
sels,sitting in a little writing room whioh
opens out onto a large stone balcony,
overlooking "The Royal Park." We
left London Wednesday morning at 9
o'clock and reached Dover at 11 a.m. The
harbor ia very pretty with its sheer white
cliffs, while above tower the fortifica-
tions, and below, fishing boats and chan-
nel steamers ply to and fro on the blue
water, We could see the English coast,
a long way out at sea, and uo doubt it
can be seen on a clear day from the coast
of France.
We had a pretty "choppy" sea to
Ostend and the air was very cold, but it
was only a matter of a few hours for we
arrived at Ostend at 3 p.m. here we
had to pass through the customs and
show our passports. The station is a
ramshackle affair compared with the
American stations, and it certainly
sounded very puzzling to hear the rows
and rows of bus drivers shout the names
of their hotels in n language you do not
understand. However, wehad telegraph-
ed for rooms from London, so our porter
spotted us at once. They have the most
remarkable memories, and we were soon
at the Hotel Continental, a magnificent
building overlooking the sea. It was
the day of the Regatta and the ocean
was dotted with little white sails, while
here and there a North Sea S. S. belched
forth clouds of black smoke against the
blue sky. The beach is a fine one and
was covered with men, women and chil-
dren. The immense dykes have been
turned into a fine esplanade and all the
hotels have their dining -rooms over-
looking this walk. so that the outlook
while at dinner is charming indeed, All
classes meet on the beach, and there are
hundreds of portable bath houses,—on
wheels, drawn out into the water by
horses. In this respect they are ahead
of ns, for even Atlantic City can not
show the elegant little bath houses that
Belgium can. What struck me was the
great heavy wagons they were on and
the immense horses, out of all propor-
tion to the work to be done. Teams of
dogs are also common, big surley looking
fellows, that seem to be able to carry
their Ioads and again the wagons used
Were a load themselves. We stayed hart,
until 3 p.m. Thursday. We spent Thurs-
day a, m. on the beach and much to the
amusement of the people I constructed
a mimiature "Windsor Castle" on the
wet sand. A party of English passed
and one remarked, "Windsor Castle, By
Jove!" We had a good deal of fun out
of it and Mr. R. threw down his hat for
pennies and the little GRAcou*s (boy) just
grinned. We left the castle in their
hands also our shovels, buckets and sand
chairs; they grinned again, and we
hurried off to luncheon. The ride from
Ostend to Brussels was very interesting;
the fields were seperated by hedges or
ditches, occaesionally a wide canal
intersected the land, bordered on each
side by a row of trees. Forestry has
evidently received great attention, for
all through the country the roads and
canals were beautified by fine rowa of
trees. Farming is done in a very primi-
tive manner, fields of grain were being
out by men and women with short
handled scythes ; the sheaves were bound
at top and bottom and set up in beauti-
ful rows so straight and regular; you
"hurried up" Canadian farmers can't
equal it. Some fields were being plough-
ed with one horse or ex and once I saw
yoke of oxen. We arrived in Brussels
at 6.12 p.m. and found ourselves just in
time for their great celebration -75 years
since they threw off the yoke of Holland
and became a free and independent na-
tion. This kotel was at one time the
palace of the Duke of Brabant and is a
very fine building indeed. Our apart-
ments are elegant and spacious and oar
balcony' gave us a fine view of the pro-
cession to -day which was well worth
eaeing. I don't know where all the pen.
pie dame from, but there seemed to be
no end of people and militia. It started
at 11 a.m. and streamed torth steadily
until 2 p.m. without a break. When the
"Old Veterans" who had fought in 1830
passed, women cheered and clapped their
hands, men shouted themselved hoarse
boys threw their hats in the air and
climbed to tops of anything that would
hold them. The cannonading was deaf.
ening and shook the winnows and walls
Of the hotel. We saw King Leopold II,
the Prince and the Prince's eon, a little
lad of four years old. Again the shouts
went up and the Icing, a dignified old
gentleman of 72 Yeats with long snow
White beard, sainted as he passed and it
was cute to see the little lad with little
fat chubby faceand white bushy hair
wave his little hand t4 the people. One
old gentleman who stood besideme
actually cried; They are very courteous
people and Emile and salute in a most
friendly manner, I ant glad to leave
seen this military display, but our eight
seeing is stopped for all the shops and
galleries are closed until Monday and we
leave for Waterloo tomorrow morning
I went to see Westminster Abbey one
day last week and think it magnificient.
1 saw the old Coronation chair, and
sacred stone that Edward 1 took from
Scone, the shrine of Edward the Con-
fessor, who first began Westminster, and
many many other things of interest. I
visited the Poets' Corner. Some lover
of Longfellow had placed a rose in his
coat, while another had thrown some
sweet peas over Shakespeare's arm. Of
the statesmon—W. E. Gladstone, Peel,
Pitt, Fox and Dieraete, all stand out
prominently—Pitt's I liked particularly
and I could imagine him thunder from
the floor of the Honse of °ominous: "I
would never lay down my arms—never,
Never, Never!" Why shouldn't Eng-
liehmen be proud, no other country bus
such a heritage as they, Now, I think
this is quite a long letter; this is a de,
lightful little quiet room in which to
write, and I could write much more,
but I'm afraid you'll be tired of this as
it is.
Yours lovingly,
MARY R. FINDLATER.
