MR.. EDrroR;-Tho Englishman takes
his summer vacation late In the month
OF Augustnn returns to his business by
the first OF October. IL is not so much
a question OF heat with him as 1t is of
recreation. Complaint is being made
Great Britain that there has
been no summer this year. Instead of
a long siege OF melting sun and parchcd
earth, constant falling OF cold, April
showers, and an inccssant blowing of II
November wind has greeted tho dis
mayed but ambitious tourist at every
turn. The effect has been, however, to
make every water course double its
usual size, and to put brighter green
on to every feature of the landscape.
Consequently, Notwithstanding the in
clemency OF the weather and the him
ORANGES OF bad roads, the summer re-
sorts OF Great Britain have been over
crowded for the last month or so with
London merchants, grumbling over the
depressed state of trade, stiff clergymen
with large families and dry jokes, pro-
lessons from the universities, eagerly
prylng INFO al questions OF natural his
tory, students, whose name is legion,
|
classes ana descriptions.
Inc queen ana her court, as well as
many oil the arlstocracy, are spending
tne summer IN the fashionable region
at the north OF Scotland, and Will return
10 LONDON at inc opening OF the season
III november. Inc Isle OF Wight and
tne oillerent watering places along the
coast are me iavorite haunts OF those
VINO nave large iamilies or who can not
get lar away from business; while the
rough ana romantic nils OF Wales and
tne quiet ana picturesque lakes OF
Westmorelanu ana Cumberland, are
RECEIVING, tne great majority of those
VINO wish 10 breathe the fresh air of
tne mountains ana at the same time
sPenu limited amount OF money.
Inere Is no doubt but this latter region
VIII always remain the most universally
popunar summer resort III England, and
