'O"D y 49, 49,
On returning to the Cathedral, and with
this as starting point, in proceeding to-
wards the south, one passes first the large
and beautiful
ST.. CLEMENS BRIpaE,
which spans over the valley, at second storey
height, through which a small river runs out
to the sea. This is a deeply characteristic
and picturesque scene. Down in the valley
runs Jhe stream, between low, old rows of
houses, which, as it were, appear to grow out
of its running wator. And close to the wa
ter-wings of the bridge, modern business
houses raise their heads. 1t is as if past and
present had agreed to meet there. Pro
ceeding further, down S6ndergade and
Ryesgado, one arrives at Aarhus Main Rail-
way Station, The whole of this neighbour
hood IS the busiest part of the town,-its
mani walk; there is TN incossant passing Of
foot passengers, carts and electric trans.
and the best and largest shops are to be
found here. Turning to the right, one
comes to the previously mentioned 'sBispe-
toft". where is situated the new Ioaou HuU,
and where also the State LIBRARY is to be
found. This building, which, together with
the new Theatre, is built by the Royal
Buildings Inspector, Mr.. Kampman, is
looked upon as one Of his best works. Bo.h

tectural compositions, and the building con-
tains books Of considerable value. In Ryes-
gade, not far from the Railway Station, lies
the Catholic Church, a beautiful and re-
spectacle building. A little further down a
side street from Ryesgade towards the east,
lies, to mention q contrast, the largest Music
Hall III the town, Il spacious room, which
particularly attracts the lower class of the
people. In the north west IN part Of the
town, up over the hills, lies one of the towns
t%Nvourlte places, viz, the park Ven1leIYst. It
IS regarded by ali Aarhus with warmest
interest, and from a Horticultural view, and
Us a landscape, it is q gem. At the same
time, although perhaps on It smaller scale, it
IS something after the style of Copouhagen's
IIyol, and throughout the summer provides
music, small theatre performances, illumi-
nations u fire work displays. 1t belongs to
tue town, and is kept in exemplary condition,
and Is also the scene of Il series of open air
festivities during the season. Under ordi-
nary circumstances, these festivities are not
few, and as long as the Exhibition lasts, they
will naturally be considerably increased.
In THE WOODS & ON THE SHORE.
The inhabitants Of Aarhus are a happy
and iovial lot, who move about, not only in
the beautiful streets of the town, but par
ticularly IN the diversified and pretty out
skirts. And it is really charming here, both
north and south of the bay, where the visitor
is enchanted by ideal streams, deep chasms
ard beautiful woods, not to speak of the
splendid view across the sen. A trip to the
outskirts is therefore particularly worth
while and one finds oneself at ease immedi-
Htely.
Taking again, as usual, the Cathedral as
starting point, and proceeding through the
new broad passage, one arrives at the har-
bOur with a good view across the port. This
harbour, which has played SO important a
part in the development of the town, pro-
vides many features of interest. Before oc-
oupying oneself with the busy life going on
in discharging and loading, inward and out
ward bound steamers, one ought to inspect
the nee Custom House, characteristic
