MTH. • Ryde is one Of the more important towns in the Isle of Wight, It is sit- uated on the east hide of the Island opposite •Southsea, and is within half an hour's Journey by ferry boet,fromi that town. The main, Wetness streeti lea,ds from the pier up the gentle slope towards the rolling downs be- yond. From this thoroughfare, Elide etreets lead in all directions towards/ the residential sections.

Half an hour's railway run- across a comparatively bare and bleak cor- ner de the Island brings us to Vent - nor, a pretty little town nestling at third 'plEtce.

On the north side new thoioughfares are being cut' =pup. the Talbot woods, and, no ,doubt, a few years hence a perceptible widen- ing of the town hi that direction will ebe seen. Near the centre of the town there is a common full of furze., which le very beautiful in the season of the •bloone, "Evergreen Valley" is a nar- row depression, which extends inland fronI the pier about two mil*. It Is occupied by lawns, flower beds, tw- erps of trees, and garden seats in- inutneratile. In the lower end IS the Invalid& Walk, and here, about noon, a good band 'plays daily for Etet tour. At the same time the municipal band lierforms on the pier. The male is of a superior order, and the multi- tude of leisured! visitors consider it a duty to appear as an appreciative audience. Having diseharged this duty the vis- itors scatter in all directioto Ifor•af- ternocin diversion, Some go. walking or driving on the cliffs; others, go on the sands below, where the, chil- dren can engage send buildine; while t ' he golfers, footballers and, cricketers betake themselves to the Talbct wood district, where there Is splendid scope for their energies. The golfers have there one of the fen - eat of courses, extending over a, series of hills. The less active people attend the afternoon concert in the winter/ .garden or take all excursion to Swan- age and Corte Castle, or else to Christ dhurch priory. axle Castle is very vererable, date ing back almost 1,000 years. It was s royal castle for long, and it was in use for defence and residence a- bout 600 years ago. The wails, which are freed six to ten fiNt thick, aril now down in many places, and in other places they hang at very acute angles to the site. A sight of those overhanging mama of 'masonty is convincing evidence that the builders did not scamp their work. The walls of the keep' still stand perpendictilar- ly, but they too are gradually In g way to the ravages of timeI% & the elements. The castle. was destroy- ed as a residence during ,a, war in Charles the First's time. \ SOHN ALLARDTCB, 1 The King's Plate. The great racing event of the season, the contest tor the King's Plate came off at the Woodbine rac- ing !park in Toronto On Satutday, resulting in- a great surprise toevery ope. The contest took place before many 'thousands of 'people. .There were 16 -atarters. A greater 'number of starters was never seen since the race was first run at Woodbine, and instead of the rich oivners monopo- lizing it, Mr. Seagram with, isier en- tries could ' only get second -place, and the winner was a horse that Mr. T. Ambrose :Woods, of Toronto, bought at one of Mr. flendrkes emits or $95. He is Mr. Wood's only race horse, but he carried off the Plate.

The House stands in the centre of a large, well wooded area, extending from East Cowes almost to • Whippingham. It is a plain two -stor- ied building with a tower. The inter- lor decorations are elaborate, especi- ally in' the case of one .large hall. There aro many fine paintings and statues, representing members of the Royal family, and also 'many fine pieces of furniture. Half a mile a- way from the House is the Swies cot- tage and mueeuen, standing in gardens where many seethe trees were planted by 'princes and princesses. The tools used by those Royal gardeners are still in good preservation. BOURNEM(XUTH.

His sire was the apple of Mr. Hendrle'el eye, and in the statemenrt which dis- posed of his great stable he provided that, no matter wbat was done with the other horses, the Futurity win- ner was to be retained in the oWn- ership of the family. On his dam's side Kelvin represents the hard, old fashioned line of Bonnie Braes, who gave to the turf, through Bonnie Vic, horses that bulk largely In the his- tory of the King's Pieta, including as they do Bonnie Ino, Victorious, Bon lace Ilarukci and Inferno. The sewed horse in the Plate, Mr, Seagram's Half a Crown, has the same :mother as last year's winner, Slaughter.
