SUNDAY LIFE IN LONDON
Tower Bridge Over the Thames a Monument to English Building. Scenes Which Recall Sto-
 ries from Dickens.

MT Ullman began by describing the start of the steamer from the pier in New York He spoke of the first Sum day spent in London. saying that while Sunday Is a day of gaiety and pleasure on the continent. the English Sunday is restful, calm, peaceful and full of quiet repose strolling through the quiet streets one passes the old houses in Holbom, with their diamond paned win dows and gable roofs. A visit to St. Pauls church is Of interest. Its old bell tolls and tolls, and a steady stream of humanity answers the deep toned call. Massive. stately and magnificent are the isles and choir, monuments to Britain's name and fame.
 To See London.
 "To see London at it's best" he said, you must walk along leisurey as in Paris There is a charm about the life on the streets. Everywhere you go the sights and sounds seem to be familiar. Soldiers are to be seen everywhere, and every now and then, in the full psnoply of kilt and cap, we see one of his ma jestys soldiers of the Scotch regiment"
 In speaking of the visit to the old curl osity shop he said: Past the old law courts, and Lincolns Inn Fields do we not know the locality well from little Dor Tit and poor Miss Elite of Bleak House. and we see the old curiosity shop. We peer up the narrow stair case, wondering whether little Nell and her grandfather can be seen"
 Mir. Gilman spoke of seeing the tower bridge across the Thames, saying, this is certainly the grandest monument to England it is enormous, marvellous, stu pendous and one can hardy realize It's magnitude. The walls of the tower are eighteen feet thick at the base and eleven feet at the top. It is of the grey and sombre brick that everything In London Is built of grey and hoary with age, but stronghold that can resist anything
 He said that the house of parliament and the clock tower were constant sources of admiration, and that 1t was impossible to describe the beauty of these buildings we could only note the vast ness of this wonderful structure,' he said, "the clock tower, with It's net work of tracery carved upon 1t. This tower, the finest specimen of Q square tower in the world is seventy-fve feet square and three hundred and forty feet high. and contains sixty-ive rooms In which are kept the archieves of parliament"
 Westminster Abbey.
 In referring to Westminster abbey he said one could not voice the sentiments the sight of this building gives birth to, and that in its low-vaulted, cloistered walks one feels as If in communion with forgotten past. The treasures of the abbey are shown to the visitor, including the place where lies the body of a king and the place where rests queen, dead for centuries past. The coronation chairs are shown, in use for centuries. On the base of one, said MT. Ullman, is a rock, and tradition says it was used by Jacob as a pillow.
 The speaker referred to Busby park and Richmond, with their beautiful homes and villas and pretentious estates; of Hampton court, with its stately buildings and beautiful gardens, and extensive for ests. He spoke of visiting the yew trees, under whose friendly shade Thomas Grey wrote his famous poem. Tn a Country Churchyard."
 Mir. Ullman stated that Dr. Newfleld was from Budapest, and he would speak for a few minutes of that place. He said
 "To go from Vienna to Budapest the proper way Is to take the boat from Vi- enna, glide along slowly for nine or ten hours through beautiful mountain seen cry and spend the whole day lollng on the deck of the river steamer, resting taking it easy and getting all you can out of life. But to the traveller who takes the train he finds it anything but like the river trip, for there Is a monotonous flat country, no scenery to speak of, nothing to claim ones attention unless it be that you pass field after field in every stage of cultivation. Here you strike up with your first trouble as to language, for Hungarian is spoken almost altogether and you find 1t rather hard to get about l noticed that the names over the shops are written differently than I saw heretofore, for here John Smith Is Smith John.
 Buda Pesth.
 "We enjoy Buda Pesth immensely. We walk up and down it's Andrassy Strasse, a really beautiful street, bounded on both sides by fine pretentious buildings. It Is the great promenade of the city and here is found a more diversified stream of humanity than anything seen so far. In this city the peasant from the outlying districts Is very much in evidence. We see men in wide, white flowing brooches, a la Turk; women with skirts little below the knee, fancy handkerchief on head and folded across the breast, some barefooted, some with high boots on, and one we saw in full skirt, very short, with no stockings. but high -heeled slippers. The policemen wear helmits with pumes, or felt hats with plumes, and sabre by their side. Women sell the papers, and are persistent and insistent
 "The great breathing spot of Buda Pesth Is the Marguerite Insel Marguer- ite Island), beautiful little island some distance up the river. reached by fine little river boats You can take sulphur baths there, although they call them electric baths. Fine promenades are all around, it is a beautifully wooded little place and delightfully."- cool, and the scenery en route is very fine; the build
