studded all over with precious stones
Then near these was the solid gold plate.
Given the queen at the birth of the Prince
of Wales was baptismal font of solid
gold. in which this prince was christened.
and there are many other valuable pieces.
The value of the actual gold contained in
them is over four million pounds, or
$40, 900, 600 in our money.
We spent couple of hours most agree
ably in the old church of st Paul, built
by Sir Christopher Wren in 167s, the
ceiling of which is 1913 feet from the
floor. The carvings and architecture of
the structure compare favorably with
similar work of our present age. In the
crypt of this church are huge tombs of
Nelson and Wellington. Near Yelling
tons tomb stands the great iron funeral
car, weighing seventeen tons, made out
of the guns and various weapons cap
tured at Waterloo. Some muskets cap
tured at Waterloo are stacked on the
front of this car. Twelve horses were
necessary to draw 1T.
BY a good guide we were shown through
both houses of Parliament. On the wall
of the large halfway between the two
houses are two huge oil paintings of
Nelson at Trafalgar. The other is the
meeting of Butcher and Wellington on
the bloody field of Waterloo, after the
battle. They are shown IN the act of
shaking hands on their prancing steeds,
with the dead and dying lying all about
and around them.
The rarest treat of all was the half day
passed in the National Art Gallery. The
finest works of the old masters are, of
course, there, and an entire week could
be spent in studying that vast array of
art treasures. Each painting is covered
with glass to protect it from dirt and
dust. We also had view of the finest
private collection of paintings in Eng
land, presented by Lady Wallace to the
Nation. 1t is in the old Hartford House,
still filed with the elegant furniture, stat
uary, bronzes and curios collected by
several generations of the Hartford fam
lily, and are second to none in the world
1t was first opened to the Pnblic sig
months ago.
We spent one day visiting Windsor
Castle and going through that vast pile,
and although the grand old lady was
not there to give us the glad hand. the
trip was most enjoyable in every way
From there. after good lunch at the
the = White Harte" Inn. we, with q good
guide and team. drove through the beau
tiful country. over matehless roads, to the
house and church where lie the remains
of the Poet Grey. We stood under the
very yew tree where he sat to write his
famous ElegY and saw his pew in the lit
tie church St. Giles, of Stoke Poges,
which has many quaint stained glass
windows. His monument there was
erected to his memory by the desceDants
of William PENIS family. some of whom
still live near by and attend the church.
Their home we also saw.
My wife and left London on the 10Th
for two weeks tour through England
and Scotland, and as you observe am
writing from Edinburg. the capital of
Scotland. Will return to London soon
after or about October !. wnere we will
remain until October 10. when we start
for Paris. Will try to write you little
sketch of this trip from London.
Very truly yours.

A STRONG REMONsTRANCE.

Against Granting of a Liquor License for George Sanford's Hotel
 1 The hearing on the petition of George | Sanford for license to sell liquor at his
 new hotel at Savin Rock was opened yesterday before the county commits sioners. The granting of the applica- tion is strongly opposed and the office of the commissioners was filled yester- day with witnesses for the remon- strants The taking of testimony occu- pied all of yesterdays session, until the hearing adjourned at 5 o'clock. The
 hearing will be continued at 1 o'clock
 next Monday. There are a large num-
 Der of witnesses yet to be be heard, and 1t is not thought that the case will be finished next Monday.
 The ground of the objection to the granting of a license to MT. Sanford is that the section where he desires to sell liquor is purely residential district. The remonstrants request that the com missioners make findings on four ques- tions, whether or not that part of the shore is a purely residential district; whether or not the hotel is a well es- tabished hotel of good reputation, whether the place is a suitable one for the sale of intoxicating liquors, and whether the applicant is a suitable per son within the meaning of the statute.
 Among the remonstrants heard yester- day were Judge Bryant, James Gardi- ner Clark Charles K Bush, Max Adler, Phiando Armstrong, Henry T. Blake, Dr. w. L. Phillips, John Backuller, Is- rael A. Kelsey, Clarence F. Thompson, and S. B. Oviatt Captain Brewer, Sec retary Thrasher of the law and order league, and Policeman Grant, Dargan and Heenan also testified.
