AN AGED BRITISH TREE.
OFFICE HOURS: s to 12 and / to S

One of the oldest of British tree.
8 the CowthOrpe oak, which has beeG
standing near Wetherby in Yorkshire
for 500 years, according to veracious
chronicle. 1t is a tree that has been
described often and has figured in
works of fiction.
1t is related of this tree that on
occasion as many as forty persons
have been gathered within the hollow
of its trunk, although it must be con-
fessed that some of these were chill
dren. The most recent measurement
showed that it's girth of trunk at the
ground was fifty-four feet three in
ches and the cavity was eleven feet
by nine feet.
The tree is not now so very tall,
reaching only thirty-seven feet into
the air, There are twenty-five props
about the tree to support the falling
branches.
The cavity has been noticeable only
since the beginning of the nineteenth
century, Many of the earlier meas
urements show that the uree
once was much greater in girth than
COW.
Aged as it is the tree bore acorns
in 1901 and 1905 and always pro-
duces fair amount of foliage IG
1898 an acorn borne by the Cow
thorpe oak was planted near by and 3
