SECOND DAY.

More provoking in its threatening*, more delightful
still in its actuality was Tuesday. Down came a
terrible cold shower in the morning, enough I, wet any
ordinaryrolotheu mortal to the skin, and dismal rolled
the slate grey cloud', wind-driven, over the sky. But
in the afternoon the wise discarded umbrellas, and the
weather-wise left their mackintoshes at home, and
marched out with joyous anticipation. Noisily shouted
the cabbies, and merrily round went the wheels ti I—
' Pity the poor blind" brought them up with his tin
dish and Puseyitish drawl. Was he an imposter
We can't stay to tell seaway over the element-watered
roal we pews towards the downs. Tnere's a row
going on already; behold, a couple of immense police-
men, big enough to light the lamps, have caught an
uniortunste littlo plasterer, who trie it.. got in without
paying, and wh Is they marehel him off, down pour
the prowling public by the *core in the gap left in
their defences. A raging crowd are swarming round
SupL Gale and Sergeant•Msjor Parley, and the
gallant I).C.C. are besieged like Cortez when the
Mexicana swarmed him in. But the sun, 211—" Truly
the light is good," and the breeze blowing over the
waving grass of Lmlinoor put+ (rash life into us all, an j I
as we look away to sun, to sea, and plain, we fancy
the moet virtuous .ipposer of horse-racing would even
put up with the noise of the beting ring in exchange
for the noise of the town, if he could also exchange the
latest boaluct cayinar for the scout of the wild
thyme, an I the zgphyr that stole over Preston hills.
Just now, all is merry. the maidens are in the merry-
godligh-ewingers, the eoposked aruntrym in is having
enother ,hy at the milky c c mows, the first drops of
John Barleycorn's blood are but enough to stir your
own, and if you are .mulous of Sir Garnet in Egypt,
go an I have shot in the rifle galleries., in preparation
for the day when you are to pot Bedouin. But this
jollity is not what we came out for ; let us take our
pleasure toberle, and scan the silky-skinned favourites
