amusement; parliament does not sit; for three
days all the talk has been about horses and their
trainers. We start from Waterloo station. The
sky is cloudleSs, free from mist; my English
neighbors remark that they have never seen such
a day in London. All around may be witnessed
green husbandIy, meadows encompassed with
hedges, and the hedge-row is often interspersed
with trees. The Splendor of this green the mass
the yigor Of lustrous, golden, bursting flowers,
are extraordinary. Velyets consolidated with
diamonds, watered silks, the most magnificent
embroideries do not match this deep hue; the
color IS excessive, beyond the reach of painting;
but never have the blooming and bloSsominr of
plants, the luxury and Joy of the adorned earth,
dazzed me with such bright p0mp. EPSON
course is large green plain, slightly undulating
on one side are reale ed three public stands and
several other smaller ones. In front, tents, hun
dredS of shops, temporary stables under canvas
and an incredible confusion of carriages of
horses, of horsemen, Of private Omnbuses there
are perhaps 100000 human heads here. Nothing
beautiful nor even elegant; the carriages are or
binary vehicles, and toilets are rare; one does
not come here to exhibit them, but to witness a
spectacle; the spectacle is only interesting on ac-
count OF its size. From the top of the stand the
enormous ant-heap Swarms and its din ascendS;
but beyond, on the right, row of large trees
behind them the faint blush undulations of the
Verdant country, make magnificent frame TO
mediocre picture; some clouds as whire as swans
float in the sky, and their shadow sweeps over
the grass; light mist, charged with sunshine
fits in the distance, and the Illuminated air like
glory, envelopes the plain, the nights, the vast
area, aud all the disorder of the human carni-
val.
1t is carnival, in fact. They have come to
amuse themselves in noisy fashion, Every
where are gypsies, comic singers and dancers
