 flee on parliament square, the hom'
 of:parliament being near 1t on one sid'
 and the river. with a fine terrace, where
 numerous visitors are seen coming ana
 going constantly. It is a very impos
 ing building the famous Scotland Yart
 is near by and also a short distance
 from Cleopatra's needle and a little
 further on Waterloo bridge. My visit
 to Buckingham Palace, St James ant
 other old buildings impressed me with
 the gloomy appearance of the stone of
 which they are built; all of the old
 buildings have that appearance. Hyde
 Park, near by, is beautiful place, containing beautiful lawns, flowers and drives of all descriptions on the water can be seen water fowl of all kinds that the climate will permit, and land fowl also. received word while visit ing this famous Square that the King was to hold a levee the following mornng so at the appointed hour was on hand and had the pleasure of seeing the famous Scottish foot and horse guards, both being a fine body of men and the horses the best l have ever seen, all jet black and finely trained for service and only exceeded by the horses on the state coaches. First came officers and orderlies, then a troop of horse and foot guards, then the first State coach with the Duke of Connaught and aide, followed by the King and aide. who looked exactly as his picture. The coach was gilded, coachman and footman with powdered wigs, knee brooches, purple stockings and cockade hats. They looked to be a part of the coach itself, in fact like images fastened to it. The King bowed as he passed as though he had spring in his back to help him do it. Also saw ali the ambassadors and min
 sters from the different countries in Court dress, and the Indian officers ap- pear from India and other colonies, all of which was quite interesting to a Yankee.
 Visited the Thames embankment all around in hanson, went over the we'll known London Bridge, saw two of the large hotels on the Strand, Ho- tel Cecile and Savoy, where numerous Americans stop when in London. Oth- sr places of interest visited were Traf- algar Square on which is the National Gallery and Nelson's Monument, the lower of London with its history of fa- nous prisoners of queens, dukes and other men and women of note, who passed through it's walls and into the ;ower, lanquSh and torture at the will ,f the reigning monarch to be behead- d or to come out after years of con- inement, some jabbering idiots. Such s the partial history of the tower of london. It stands there surrounded y large high walls, grim with age md looks monument of the past bar 'arous age. What secrets i. could di- 'ulge could it speak Those who have

Temple lar, Queen Victoria street, Royal Ex- hange, Holburn Bars, the Strand, ,haring Cross and other business sec- ions are always filled with people and cams of which they have two kinds, orse and motor power. with two sec ions, one inside and one on top which ou gain by stairway.

Hansoms, auto mobiles, private equipages of all kinds re to be found here; also vehicles turn 3 the left instead of to the right as , the custom in our country.
