A HOLIDAY TRIP TO THE SEASIDE.
With the approach of autumn one naturally feels
• longing to be out of harness and to "sniff the briny."
Ceding about alto the beet way of spending • brief
holiday. I resolved upon e visit to Weymouth and the
Channel Islands. This is • favourite trip with there
who dwell along the route of the Great Western Rail-
way Company, and *unholy deserves all the popularity
which it has gained. The company afford the utmost
leonine' for visiting "the N• lee of lingland," as
Weymouth I. called, and three carmlog "We. of the
sea," Jersey and Guernsey. The ride from Leaming-
ton to Weyrnouth is as varied and pleasant ise it is
possible to desire. Tourist., like ordinary travellers,
go In for speed as much as for the picturesque in
' reaching their destination; and in this respect the
trip to Jersey is perhaps mutilate I. You ono leave
Leamington at twenty minutes to four in the afters
roma and be in Jersey at about eight o'clock on the
following morning. I should advise visitors to stop
for a short time at Weymouth, which is • eery
charming and interesting place. Weymouth has not
kept pace with the times. Its streets, promenade
churches, harbour. and pier are precisely la the same
state in which I found them • queeter of • century
ago. The only thing which has undergone the
slightest mutation is the King'. Statue. tie oymouth,
:non fortunately than L-areingtou, has actually
enjoyed the omen°e awl pstronage of a reigniog
monareh, and to this ciocuuntance it owes Its revived
prosperity. A hundred yews ego Ger lege the Third
visited Weymouth, and was so Weasel with it that he
enlarged Gloucester Lodge (now the Gloucester Hotel
and VVeymouth and County Club) and made it his
regular summer resort. Vhatots then ft iwed in

It goes, and new terraces aitcl buses sprang up
with surprising rapidity. T t c =memento the
fiftieth anniverory id t ot reign of their patron, the
" grateful inhabitants " an they describe them-
selves—erected opposite' the Royal-terrace a statue,
which is as villainously designed as the period
permitted—ant it would be impossible, as a matter
of taste, to say anythtog worse. The king, bare-
headed, in his robes, stands on • out twat square block
of stone. The guitie-booke state that "the British
li in is cow:hunt at his feet." The lion and unicorn, •
long way from the monarch's feet, flank the pedestal,
and lout as If they belonged ti an itinerant menagerie.
The site is admirable ; and it wu not abed bit of business
on the pert of the old We} moothians to stlck his
lelsj sty's effigy where every one coining into the town
must see it. The "grateful Inhabited," knew the
value of advertising lono before Professor H 'noway I
reaped his harvest thereby. Cleop•tra's Needle would
n it have prove' half so lucrative an investment ise this
statue of the Monarch, who certainly did • good thing
in patronising Weymouth. This may, possibly, be
the reason why the Improvement of the statue has en.

That improvement has culminate tin gilding his moot

for tranquility it surpasses what I have ever seen,

whereas, it not unfeignedly occurs at other places of
retort for this purpose, that there are long intorno-
tit us to bathing from the turbulence of the sea to the
great disappointment. loss of tine, and expense to
thee, whom such delays may be both distreeeing and
injurious." The doctor aids. that Weymouth and its
I neighbourhood are entirely free from stagnant water.,
wet or marshy swamps, to pro Inc. noxious vapours;
the soil is of such • nature as to afford nothing from
which any inealutary exhalations con peened ; and
the air is proverbially mild, soft, and serene. In the

old line. lam speaking, of e tune, only of those set

teaches the ladies bow to swim—l do not envy him—
Weymouth is sufficiently rigorous to tahon the Conti-
