LONDON july 2I.--One Of the interesting
'.tepts Of our STAY in London has been
,;sit 10 the Duke Of Westminster Gallery
ope Of the fines private galleries If not the
me- in London The Duke Of Westmin-
~ler is very hositsble aud very Pablic-5Pirited.
He gives his private riding school tor
tazaars aud opens his magnificent suite OF
scep,,on rooms, CO led his gallery, aud
flled with admirable works Of art OF every
Inscription as well as pictures, for concerts
IL charitable purposes, and at least three
,nontis in the year to holders OF tickets,
Who are privileged to extend the courtesy to
friends. The kindness is perfectly free and
nptrammellcd, servants are not allowed to
- ,eiye ties, and Wien our party arrived
lNre. fifteen minutes in advance OF the
time-ten 4. N of opening, and unsccom-
panied by our guarantee, Mrs, Felix No
Echelss. who was not due ill fifteen minutes
later, We were politely received and allowed
tbc entree at onge. To describe the inter
esting pictures, or merely catalogue them,
would require more than the space reserved
ior this letter, so shall only indicate q few
oftle mot ,rrikiur feature. Que OF these
is the n agu6crn' Portrait OF Mrs S.ddo1s
by ST. Josh4a Reynolds, which contains his
name inscribed in III hem of her robe and
by which he said he vas willing to Os Judged
and bis name carried down to posterity.
Another Is the Blue Boy, figure ofgrace-
| ful youth in blue page costume, painted
BIZ CATASTROPHE in answer to a challenge
by Sir Joshua Reynolds, who insisted that
blue as q color did not supply sn ay;jstic
medium 10 the painter. The picture triun.
phan,ly r,futes this idea. A wonderful
mail picture is MuriliOs sleeping infant
Christ and q remarkable one Raphsels
VISIT Of Elizabeth 70 Mary the mother OF the
Saviour. There are numerous examples OF
Claude Lorraine, POussier and Ruoens and
d curious portrait OF Van Dyck, BE- himself,
holGipg IN mis- hand sunhOwer. The pic
lure certainly relieves Oscar Wilde from the
odium Of originating the decorative and
symbolic use Of this highcologed emblem.
A crystal clock With large disc OF 6riiliSnt5,
\ cabinet composed entirely Of onyx and
eold and exqu s te old china, a stand Of rare
woods inlaid " To pearl or ebony, are among
the hundreds of other beautiful aud rare
objects 1t was noticed particularly that
|s1nsl articles in daily use lay about in some
OF the rooms, such as books, with the small
vases Of flowers and the crystal dishes OF
roses and uaiienbair te-ns, or sweetsnell
Ing carnations, forget me nots and mlgno-
nette.
Another memorable occasion vas our visit
10 Windsor and Stoke Pogis the latter 1T
Ale village Eve miles from Windsor only IN
terestiDg as being the scsnOof Gray "Eegy

place Of the author Windsor is too we'll
