Prince Arthur in the Lake District.
Paince Arthur, attended by Major Elphin-
stone, passed through Kendal early on Wednes-
day morning by rail on his way to the lakes, arriv-
ing at Rigg's Windermere Hotel about three
o'clock. They were accompanied by one servant,
who acted as avant courier in this flying excursion.
Notwithstanding their having travelled all night,
the party were abroad betimes, and were noticed
scaling the heights of Elleray and enjoying the
magnificent scenery of the district, with which they
expressed themselves much delighted. The royal
party, conducted by Mr. Titterington, visited Elle-
ray, the lake home of Christopher North, and the
grand points of view on Mr. Eastted's new drive.
The ruddy youngsters of the village, under the super-
intendence of James Newby, the professor's old gar-
dener, strewed the prince's path with a tribute of
flowers while he wended his way up the hill. When
the summit was reached the magnificent panorama
was pronounced to be the finest ever seen after the
same amount of climbing, Windermere Lake from
end to end, with the adjacent mountains, being
stretched out below. His royal highness was also
much pleased with accounts of the monster bonfire
here on the occasion of the Prince of Wales' mar-
riage. Of course the whole village was astir after the
news of the prince's arrival was known, union jacks
were hoisted, white handkerchiefs waved, hats were
lifted, and his royal highness gracefully returned
the personal salutations. The front of Rigg's Win-
dermere Hotel was brilliantly lighted up with gas.
The party left Windermere about 12 o'clock, but
not without a hearty cheer from the college boys
who had assembled to meet them.
GRASMERE.—His royal highness arrived at the
Prince of Wales' Lake Hotel about 1 o'clock p.m.,
and after partaking of luncheon at the hotel, he,
with Major Elphinstone and Mr. Brown, enjoyed a
pull round the lake, the prince himself handling an
oar with no little skill. In the course of the trip his
royal highness landed on the island to inspect the
two memorial oaks planted on the memorable 10th
March, both of which are in a flourishing condition.
He then visited Mr. Brown's battery, from which
repeated volleys had been fired during the morning,
and himself discharged the cannon. The visit was
concluded by a visit to Wordsworth's and. Cole-
ridge's graves in the churchyard.
KESWICK.—His royal highness, on leaving Gras-
mere, travelled through the vale of St. John, and
had evidently loitered on the road, admiring the
scenery of the district, as the party did not arrive at
the Derwentwater Hotel until 7 o'clock; here, atter
a late dinner, they sojourned for the night. Early
on Thursday morning they were again on the wing,
and on their way to Lodore to breakfast, whence
they proceeded by Burrowdale Haws to Buttermere
and Crummock. The party was joined by the Rev.
Mr. Jollie, of Cockermouth, who had volunteered
his services to act as their guide. From Buttermere
the prince returned byNewlaods to the hotel, where
dinner was prepared at 7 o'clock. His royal high-
ness soon afterwards left on his way to Balmoral.—
Kendal Mercury.
