THE QUEENS PAVILION.

The site is on gravel, the floor being laid
on brick arches, which have an under vacant
space Of three feet. The external walls are
hollow with ventilation. The roof is pre-
pared to secure GOODNESS. The floor is laid
with tiles Of an incised pattern, with rich
majolica border, not unlike Turkey carpet
in appearance The tables are Of solid mar
BILE, and below, extending to their full length,
are tiled reservoirs, through which, when re-
quired, a stream of water can be kept con-
stantly flowing The walls are covered with
tiles bearing mauve colored star on white
ground, the whole having green and white
running border. Majolica bas-reliefs, en-
blematc of agriculture and the four seasons,
are introduced on the walls, together with
medallions of the royal family, supported by
sea horses, etc The ceiling is exquisitely
made in keeping with the walls, and foun-
tain of majolica stands at each end of the
dairy, the form being shell supported by
heron and bulrushes.
A water nymph, pouring water from jar,
worked in statuary marble, forms third
fountain, and is placed at the south side Of
the room The windows have double case
ments the inner being filed with stained
glass 10 represent daisies and primroses. Sup
porting the roof are six ornamental pillars,
on which are clusters of small twisted shafts,
carrying the ornamental arches in connec-
ton with the ceiling and roof, all being richly
decorated in color and highly enameled Ex-
ternally the dairy is built in the renaissance
style, bearing the legend, Erected in the
twenty first year Of the reign of her majesty
Queen Victoria" The roof is covered with
alternate rows Of red and blue tiles, sur
mounted by an octagonal turret ventilator,
on the sides Of which are elaborate perforated
panels bearing the royal arms. The COW
house which supplies the milk for use in the
dairy is very handsome, and the records kept
of the production of each animal are most

Of the whole place. And in the first year of
his tenancy Prince Albert established an
evening school for his workpeople, which is
continued still, and has been the means of
doing large amount of good. Both these
examples have been followed by the Prince
of Wales on his Sandringham estates, for the
heir apparent has the same tastes as have
been SO strongly shown in his progenitors,
immediate and remote.
1t has often been matter Of speculation
rs to whether the queens two magnificent
farms pay for themselves. One thing is GER

outside of the pale Of royalty knows. One
thing however, is clear: the queen is quite a

Aiding Agriculture.

Sir John Bennett Lawes, the eminent agri-
cultural scientist, of Rothamstead, has it is
stated, completed arrangements for bequeath-
ing to the cause Of agricultural science the
sum Of 100000, together with fifty acres Of
land and the laboratory and museum at
Rothamstead. In the latter are stored more
than 5000 bottles of experimentally grown
produce, of animal products and of soils. The
income of the fund will be handed over to a
committee Of nine persons, including the
owner Of Rothamstead for the time being

into a commodious reception room, "A feet by
Is feet There is also the luncheon room, 20
feet by IS feet; and, besides these, there are
five other rooms, all luxuriously furnished.
Inside, the structure is most luxuriously
fitted up, yellow gold curtains throwing n
subdued light over masses Of rich hangings.
1t is probably the finest building ever erected
at any agricultural show.
Just to the right Of the pavilion is the
working dairy, where lectures on butter
making and competitions were in progress
every day during the show. Then comes the
displays OF farm produce, and further on to
the left the cattle shedding and agricultural
implements.
In addition to the 100000 gwen by the
Royal Agricultural society for prizes the
queen gave gold medals for the best stations
and mares exhibited and for the best bred
animals in the first classes, and gold medal
for butter making. The queen herself had
four entries of horses, seventeen Of cattle and
three of pigs, and took several prizes The
Prince of Wales had eleven entries of horses,
thirteen of cattle and eight of Southdown
sheep. Prince Christian of Schleswis -IIol-
stein, whose name appears as an exhibitor for
the first time sent four pens OF pigs from
Cumberland lodge, and among the other ex-
hibitors of horses are Prince Henry of Bat
tenberg, who sends two ponies picked up in
the Pyrenees during the queens recent visit
to Biarritz.
II will be seen from this brief description
that the show was big one; indeed, it is
claimed to be the largest agricultural show
ever known, there having been exhibited no
less than / ,G37 cattle, Of which asa we're Jer-
ays and 30 shorthorns. Let us now pass
from the show grounds and take look at
the queens farms.

AN EMINENT LAWYER GONE.
Hon. s. L. NJ. Barlow's Remarkable Ca
reer in Law and Finance.

Samuel Latham Mitchell Barlow, recently
deceased in New York, was long the equal Of
the late Leonard SWEET in his perfect mas
terry of special lines Of law, and even exceed
ed Mr.. SWEET in the number of enormous
fees received. He fell far behind him, how
ever in brilliant successes with bad cases,
and lost heavily by swindles Indeed, it
would be hard to find another instance of so
acute n lawyer so thoroughly swindled by
men of intellect far inferior to his own.
On the one hand he gained an international
reputation by organizing and directing the
Erie revolution and overthrow of Jay
Gould and successful management of the
French arms" case, and on the other he lost,
it is said. half million dollars by the great
diamond fraud of decade or so ago, and his
death was FASTENED by the Bedell forgeries
which caused his firm loss of about quar-
ter of million dollars On many occasions
he received fees in excess of $4,000 in a sim
Gle case, and in more than one speculation
lost much larger sums. His fortune, how
ever, is estimated at $1,000, 600, and he was
quite liberal in all the walks of life He was
a rather prominent man in society, was noted
as an epicure and giver Of good dinners, had

not a prestidigitateur, amateur or pro-

BRIDAL ROBES AND Wells.
Fashions Ancient and Oriental, But
Especially of the Present Day.

Now is the time when our autumn
brides are selecting their bridal costumes
The wedding day is of all days most i'm.
portant to woman, and on this aus
picious occasion she has the reasonable
desire to look her best. Nothing is too
good for bride, and it is the pleasure of
all who love her to deck her in robes of
richest material and becoming STYLES.
In color the brides of our day have but
little choice, as custom has long given the
preference to white, the symbol of purity
The color of the gown may be, of course
in accordance with the taste of the wearer,
and in nearly all other countries, except
in England, bright colors, unless it be q
bride of noble birth and rich heritage, are
generally worn. In China the choice of
the bride in the color of her wedding gown
is generally the brightest shade of
yellow, which she gayly embroiders in
many colored silks. Falling from the
high dressed hair is the bridal veil of
brilliant red. A bright red sedan chair
is her wedding coach, and she is sheltered
from the suns hot rays by an umbrella of
the same brilliant hue. Lanterns fash
ing red lights, and the incessant noise of
the tom-tons, make the procession re-
markable for its appearance of gayety.
The most striking feature of the bridal
party, probably on account of the odd con-
trast, are the bridesmaids, all of whom
are middle aged women, arrayed in
soInbre black garments
