same house; everywhere are potted flow
ers and ferns, vines upon trelliseS, roses
trained across windows; and between the
gables or across roofs, continual changing
glimpses of the foreshore show a mass Of
Kaleidoscope color, like huge bank of
flowers set close to the shimmering blue
of a ripping sea.
Not only is all this at your feet for con-
temptation if you are lettering on Castle
Hill, but the spars of fishing smacks and
other curious craft are like a reedy sedge
beneath you to the south Then comes
the old harbor and its messy pier; the
bay filed with pleasure sails flying
hither and thither like great white birds
Swimming low along the ripping sheen of
blue; and beyond the steely blue of the
North sea, with fishing fleets at anchor
in tiny patches, or merchant ships sCud-
ding to the Baltic and the North with
now and then trailing plumes of smoke
from distant steamers close and low
upon the far horizon rim. To the north,
another cove cuts into the high and lofty

ragged cliffs, hung with rank and trailing
verdure, and cove and cliff and moor,
stretching far with higher and more pre-
cipitous shores to where the North sea
thunders endlessly against the headlands
of weird and dreary Robin Hoods Bay.
All about you are the ruins of the an
cient and stupendous castle which was
once the glory of Scarborough. Vast in
deed were the medieval strongholds of
Tot n irl i'm,
BILE in its time, was one of the hugest
fortresses of the entire eastern
coast 1t was built by Earl William lie
Gros, who married Adeliza, daughter of
William the Conquerer, and who ruled in
the east with princely authority. When
Henry II. endeavored to break the power
of the mobiles which eclipsed the au-
thority of the crown and commanded the
demolitition of their castles, he came
here in person to see this great pile razed,
but struck with its splendid proportions
and impregnability, increased its strength
and magnificence instead. The tremen-
dous mOat on the landward side is well
preserved. The stately keep is still
nearly 100 feet high with walls twelve
feet in thickness and in the castle yard
can still be traced the splendid chapel
which once was there, for no men were
more pious than were these mighty pilla-
gers and murderers of old.
The beauty and fashion to be seen at
Scarborough are pronounced enough to
give the place all the gaYety of Brigh ton.
London sends thousands here for the
season" which continues from May I'M
til October, and the great interior manu-
featuring cities, like Birmingham, Man
chester and Leeds, divide their fashion
able summer patronage between Scar
borough and the Peak of Derbyshire, but
the place is characteristically different
from any other seaside resort / have
found in England. The rich and titled
who visit Scarborough seem TO be here
for rest and health rather than for
rounds of gayety and fashionable enjoy
ment. Whatever NAV be It's spell, you
are no sooner within it than a spirit Of
idling, lettering and delightful
At the great balls, concerts and promen-
AIDES on the Cliff, all procedure is
measured, quiet and stately. There are
no blare and fare in Scarborough. The
shops are shady, cool and quiet. Go
the whole length of Westborough, New
borough and Eastborough street, from
the high railway station TO the cleaning
sands, and though your stroll may have
brought you in contact with from 10000
to 10000 people you win not have heard a
sound that would disturb the placid Sc
renity of q sunny country aehurch lane.
1t is though the breeze, the sun, the sea
and the gray old town of gray old stairs
soothed the irritability and even ordinary
activity of men into gentle complacence
and peace.
This popularity is still more noticeable
upon the beach. In all other seaside re-
sorts / have ever visited, the sands al
ways presented a scene of rollicking ac-
tivity and life. Men, women and chill
dren were in sort of wild intoxication
and delirium of enjoyment. have seen
from $4,000 to 10000 people at one time
upon SCARBOROUGH beach, and / am quite
certain one-third of the number were
sound asleep. This is most marked with
the folks from the mills and mines. With
the hundreds of bathing machines those
little covered wagons which are unknown
in America but which are in England
used for robing and disrobing, and are
wheeled out and in with the tide-are
constantly in use, it is the middle class
which thus disports. The operatives and
miners who come to the seaside come
for the change, the rest, the air. They
almost seem to eat the latter, poor fell
lows They burrow in the sand and are
savage if disturbed.
Twenty or thirty operatives from Leeds
will be piled together with their fami-
lies, half-hidden in the sand-pits they
have dug. The men are all doing or sound
asleep. One of party of passing friends
pokes one of the sleepers with his foot

And he turns in his sand-pit with con
temptuous snort for unwashed LOndOners
who are compelled TO come so far for

open to the sea breeze which he gulps like
drink, settles himself placidly for another

In getting about among these millmen,
