decor tive details, which nearly oil have
their motives in shippi ng, commerce, or the
oceans animal or plant kinds. In front of
this, stretches the large harbour basin, clos
ed in by long piers, which are favourite and
healthy promenades, the match to which can
hardly be found. In taking the direction
now from the harbour towards the north,
one passes pretty villas and small gardens
along the coast, and further along, the large
Mejib0rq COmpIer,-which, especially seen
from the sea, is very imposing and contains
one of the towns best restaurants, from the
windows Of which one has a wide view
across the bay,-as far as Riis Woods. If
one prefers, one can take the train out to
Rns WOODS
but it is more worth the while to walk by
the wood paths winding up and over the
hills. Then q particularly fine view is
obtained across the bay, which, on q
sunny summer-day looks so smiling, but
which, during a storm can assume quite
another aspect. On an open space in
the middle of the wood lies a comfortable
restaurant called "The Pavilion in q cosy po-
sition sheltered by old trees. just outside
this pavilion, large military concerts are
held several times a week during summer,
when a motley crowd collects. On penetrRt-
ing into the woods, one is surprised at the
variety of scenery. In several places it is
broker by creyices, stretching out towards
the harbour. The raised ground on which
the woods grow, is rather high, and falls
down in sharp declivities, aud particularly
does the view along the swaying coast line
right to the roofs of the houses and the ca
thedral present q beautiful picture. Out o.
the edge of the woods will be found the old
refreshment place "Salonen", which %prefera-

and where both dances and other amuse-
mouts take place. One Of the small coast
ing steamers can be taken back to Aarhus
from StIomen. The whole sail only lasts q
quarter Of an hour and provides a splendid
panorama over the coast. If one prefers a
more quiet and secluded nature, a tour
should be made south Of the harbour out to
the large
MARsELIsBoRG WOODS
which stretch q long distance to the south
under various names. Here one can stiu
enjoy the peacefulness of the declivities to-
wards the harbour without being disturbed
by noisy inhabitants or troubled by
lunch wrappers and conserves tins etc,
Before reaching Marselisborg woods,
one passes on the way the latest and
most elegant district of Aarhus,-called
Mm8eJiSb0rq District, which has, in part,
been taken into use by the Exhibition. From
the town to the woods, q very broad elevat-
cd coast boulevard, with promenade, driving,
riding and cycling paths, has been built, and
all along this a row of aristocratic villas has
been erected. This boulevard, with it's gor-
geous new buildings and expansive views,
is undoubtedly the p~rettiest promenade in
Aarhus, On the way to Marselisborg Wood
can be seen Oh a hill, surrounded by woods
and open fields, the white walls of q small
elegant Castle-Mar$e1isborg Co8tIe-which
the people of Jutland have presented to
His Royal Highness, Groom Prince Chris
tan, as a summer residence. Marselisborg
Woods are as pretty as only Danish beech
woods can be, and very diversified; high
slopes towards the sea, light beech and
thickly grown parts interchanging one an
other, steep roads and fat surfaces, then
wateroourses, rushing along in places and
broadening out to still water in other places.
Peculiar and picturesque old houses and
mills appear here and there like at V0rn0.
this peculiar Russian name, which, together
with its like wise Russian S,Iistri0, has been
attached to two Danish places, by an Aarhus
eccentric, and has now won favour. A ia
