FALL EXHIBITION.
ire the Editor otTne Vose.
A recent notice in TIM Pose ee the
Fall Exhibition of the East Huron &
Grey Branch Agricultural Society caused
me to idly glance over the Prize List of
last year in order to ascertain whether
there was any likelihood of replenishing
my holiday drained purse with a few of
the munifioent cash prizes likely to be
offered. Will you, Mr, Editor, allow me
to make a few suegostions to the Moue
and Directors re the Fine Art Depart-
ment for 1802. rine—Lot it bo under-
stood that the work exhibited must be
the work of the exhibitor. Suppose I
have a portrait, the work of roister, or
a lendscape from the brush of 13Ialte, or

to place these in competition with work
of our Brussels' artists ? If I do will it

would be better to discoarage mere

O branch as this. What "orb" is there
after all in slavishly following line after
line and daub upon daub the work of

brush a mile or two down our lovely
river or at least array a fetv fruits and

real pieae of art by "copying" it. Then
let our dilatant Directors encourrtgo the

have some smell prizes for "objecb" draw-

to encourage arb in boys except it be the
one item of "pencil drawing" but what
that includes goodness alone knows. If
a boy developes a love for his penoil and
compasses there is hope that some day
he will be something more than what the
majority of our boys seem to be—street
loungers and idlers. This I believe is

A Trip Through England.
The morning after arriving in London
I took tho Great Northern and wont to
Cambridge about Hix miles distant, Both
ford being only 25 miles from which
plata I would hove gone if the train had
lel/owed me. The 60 miles is through a

in 0, high state of cultivation and fully
up to the standard of the Lothians or the
Merge. At almost every station there
seemed to be train loads of manure being
unloaded into wagons whioli no doubt
bed come by early trains from London.
Cambridge is situated on tho Ceam whioh
runs so slowly that the short time I was
there it was not possible to be Sure whioh
way it went but it acids greatly to the
therm of the place. The principal mil -
loges ore built at a slight diatnnoe from
Da baths. The vieta of bridges (whioh
seemingly each college has) one after the
other spanning the groom with their

"The Bridge of Sighs" from its supposed

foot. The college buildings seem like
palaoes, every one different from another,
with their smooth lawns sloping gently
down to their bridges and making the
landscape one may say perfect. On the
opposite side the grounds are laid out in
small peke or gardeus, their stone walls
in many oases green with ivy and here
and there trees with most luxuriant
foliage add fresh beauty to the eye,
There were many boat; moored along the
banks of the quiet river tvhith is the
training ground for those who take part
in the annual contest on the Thames be-
tween the picked crows of the two uni-
versities. Mr, Maogregor, of Rob Roy
canoe fame, got his expertnethe with the
paddle on the river. Triuiby College is
perhaps the most famous of them all and
has tho most students—generolly bout
700. Its buildings are on both sides of
Trinity street but the main part of it in
quadrangular form is on the North side
and the entrance near the West side by
what is called the King's Gateway. The
court or square is 330x270 feet and the
Cambridge folks boast that it is 1000
square feet larger than "Tom Quad,"
Wolsey's great court at Oxford. The
buildings are not to say high and are
somewhat plain but solid and substantial.
Looking diagonally throes the square to
your left on the Eecoad story you are
shown the two windows of the rooms oc-
cupied by Byron when a student ; be-
tween you and these windows there hi in
the metre of the square an elaborate
fountain oalled Neville's fountain which
was built by a greet master of the col-
lege of that name. 13y a somewhat re-
markable coincidence it is said that up
one flight of stairs leading out of this
court there lived hi succession Newton,
Lythurst, Maoaulay, Thaokeray Ten'
09 son and a great many more of Eng-
land's great men whom the oollege claim
a.s its students. The chapel and library
are open to the public, tbe latter taking
up one of the lesser sides of the court
Beneath is a plena or colonnade open
into the court, the wall above and door
is supported by several rows of strong
clone columns and between the rows the
stone flags are worn hollow by the feet
of students. The entrance to the
/ibrary is by a stairway, the steps of
which are blaok marble liued with cedar.
The hall is 190 feet long and 40 wide, the
door is of black and white marble and
°aunties covered with glass run along
each side in \Olga are a vast variety of
rare curiosities. The room is divided in-
to 30 compartments each well lighted,
one side looking to the river and the '
other to the court. Several of the book-
cases are adorned by carving done, we
were told, by the odebrated °wryer Gib:
bons and the designs by Wren. The
librarian, or his assistant it might be,
has his desk close to the entranoe and he
was ready to answer and explain very
ogreeably. By the stair is exhibited
Ramon altars and inscriptions found in
England. Strangers hove no aocess to
tho books, the counters cutting off all
communication with the bookcases.
The librarian said that there are no
printed ontalogues but he pointed to sev-
eral ponderous volumes, perhaps 22 or 24
iuches long, 15 wide and_ 4 think and very
heavily bound whore the lid of books

that there 18 room for a man to walk up-
right between them. The walls are sup-
ported by towers at each corner and
eleven massive buttresses between them
on each side, We are apb to boast of the
aohievements of the nineteenth century
hut after exnmining such a stone strum
tura as this we must oonfese that men
once knew bettor how to build than now.
The painted windows are magnificent,
the upper lights showing Old Testament
subjecas and the lower ones marked off
from the upper by stone sills Now
Testamenb ones on the prinoiple of
type and anti -type. As we walked
through the chapel we were informed
that there would be a service at 5 o'clock
and tvhich takes plaoe every day at that
hour. It is said that Milton's noble
passage was Inspired from his attending
service ab this chapel though he studied
at a different college.
"Bub let my feet never fail
To walk the etudious cloister's pole,
And love the high embowed roof,
With runtique pillars messy proof,
And dotted windows richly dight
Casting a dim religious light.
There let the pealing orgen blow
To the full voiced choir below,
In service high and anthems clear,
As may with sweetness through mine
ear
Dissolve me into ecstasies,
And bring all heaven before mine
eyes."
As it wanted Bolus time to the hour we
betook ourselves elsewhere and on re-
turning rather late found the screen in
the centre of the chapel closed by heavy
curtains of a orimson color so olose that
the light of the candles could not be
seen. We sat in the outer part along
with some five or six persons more in
the dim twilight and listened to tbe ser-
vice, nearly all musical, as it rang
through the building, at times so loud
and over -powering that you felt a
trembling sensation and then dying
away so that it could soaroely be heard.
Newnhani College for women is a abort
distatme from King's on the other side of
the river. It is a new, garish looking
building of red Meek, more like s cotton
factory, with its windows monotonously
regular, when compared with the magni-
ficent piles in which their brothers for
