Pleased with pyrosechnics.
NJ Shaafas seemed greatly impressed
with the fireworks which he saw In the
most remarkable sights that 1 ever saw
were me fireworks at the Crystal Palace.
Tgssy give fireworks there every Thurs
siay afternoon saw the representation
OF naval battle between siests of rssode.r
war ships IL was the most realistic sight
l ever saw. The booming OF the cannon
end all the sotfnkss Of battle could be
laesrd. greatly enjoyed IT, On another
eseszfg they gave representation OF
Soasa.s ark with the animals coming out,
all in fireworks. The ELEPHANTS. Ions
tigers and other animals kept emerging
from tine ark one after her ia an end
less procession. On one occasion when /
was witnessing theze fireworks there We're
50. 90 people there.
EnJpyed Continental Excursions.
II greatly enjoyed the Continental ex-
carsions. For instance, you can start
from London on Saturday night aud visit
Paris for two days and shen go 10 Ant
werp. Bremen and Hamburg. and So.
back 70 London on the following Sunday.
During the Journey you stop at ilgst class
hotels and travel On first class trains, and
have an eight days outing for Els. or $50
SELF Ia Paris because cannot talk French,
but In Spain and Germany was al home.
because j can speak a little Spanish and
know German.
Eank with Capital.
..TFle Bank OF France is an immense in
situation. j. W. de cortin. the sugar
king. informed me that there was l5G. ooa. 900
f...x ssu
very prosperous. because the people are
frugal thrifty AMI saving. Neither the
Bank OF England nor the flank OF France
are government institutions. They are
private corporations. / used 10 go into
the Bank OF England four or five times a
week. What struck me was that during
business hours you would not see anyone
l4lrsgy trarssac.ing business. There were
a number of pohce officers and an army
Of clerks INSIDE who seemed 10 be as busy
as sailors. In the small banks one could
get near the counter. As under
stand II, the Bank OF England acts as q
sort Of clearing house Tor the smaller
banks and does but very little business
directly with the public. II Is a sort of
jobbing bank.
s~attis's Fame Has Reached London.
II saw Seattle's name mentioned in the
big papers several tines. This was done
whenever a prominent Englishnsan visited
this city Seattle Is favora0ly knawn In.
London. IL went into a shop and made
n purchase and told them / Mas from Sc
attic some one wo7lsd be sure to Inquire
yoout Some Engl.Shman living or who Rad
iessded IN this city. They seemed to think
there that Sealsle was qt.ite an important
place. although they never wouli ac-
knowledge that in time 1t would be as
big as London concluded SIR. Shauout
