Our firet rallway ridé in Englaud was froua Liverpool to Manohester, paseing tàrough thé great mtauufacturng ceunty of Lancashire. Thé distancé je given at about 86 miles, and we wére thére in 48 minute.1 asked a gentleman in our car if the place we had réachéd was Man ohester, and oaad hé, ,"just put your héad out of thé windows and if at ta rainlng or foggy, it je Mancheser." Concérniug distance, thé people we meet in Great Britain, aud on the continét t, seem te measuré distance by ime, net by miles. If you ask a pereon how far ih je te snob a place ho will telt you it je 20 minute, 40 minutes or an heur ase thé case may bé. It eeemed strange. I asked sevéral drivere on thé busses in Loudcauj and soeéof the guarde in thé raiiway ts tiens, and noué of théru could tell me howt mari miles it was te a certain place, bu t héy k ew h ow long it wonld take me te go. Manchester bas a population ef about 700,000 (with its suhurbe) and je thé chief conter of thé dtoer mauufacturng industry. On on tering thé city frocu thé railway station, ene is impreseed witb thé fact that it an a business city, f roua thé immuense traffic of the streete, sud the sizé of ite shepsanad waréhouses. It bas a cathedral which dates from the éarly haîf ef thé l4thi century. It wan béîug répaired durinq our stay, but wé did net inspect it.

The pavement in front of the Royal Iufirmary is adornéd with bronze statues of théel)uké of Wellington, James Watt, thé inventer ef thé steain engins, and Sir Robert Pool. lu later years Manchester has been amxbitieus to have conuectien with thé ses snd bas coin- ploeéd a ship canal at auncermous cent of 815,000,000, extending to Liverpool, 85J miles. It bas nover paid yét, but àe expeéted te greatly dévelop their foreign tradé. One evening was epent at tel1évue gardéns, which in a great attraction to crowds of thé Manchesteér people. It ha& a zoological collection of wild animale, and lias fine nmusic halls, merry go- rounds, and aIl sorts of amusements, and thé fluent display of fireworks I éver saw, viz: thée torraing oh Port Arthur. Wé loft Manchester with regret, for we had net seen enough of thé interesting city, and by trin returned to Liverpool. Ar- riving there wé went down staire and acrose te Birkenhead by "4thé Mersey tunnel," which ie buiît under thé river, and is about one mile long.

As we, walked t h ough, aftemnoon service was just commencing, and the preachers, headed the long procession of surpliced choir boys that came from the adjacent roanis, Wc could not sec much of the churcb, visitors are noi allowed ta inspect the lucide while service is going on, sa we wandered out around the cloisters, andi through the massive stone gate into thej oid churchyard, wbicb is alougside the1 wall. Chester is one of the few cities of Eugland that bas a wail. These walls date from the very dawn of English civilization, and flot only embrace the ancient city, but torm a pleasant prom- enade of nearly two miles in circuit. Mowiting the wall which has a stone walk wide enough for two, we made the tour. A queer looking round tower built on the walis engaged- our atten- tion and ascending to it, by the stone, steps, wc soon discover that we arc on histonic ground. It is calied -King Charles' tower," is a kind of museumn of ancient relics, and the old gentle- man who explains ta you does it with a great deal of importance. He pointcd through the iaticcd window away off over the houses ta a rising wooded place, and assurcd us that Charle 1 stood in this sainie place and looked through the sanie wiudow and watched the defeat of hie troops by Cromwcli's army on Marston Moor an 1645. After leaving this tower and continuing our walk, we look aver the walîs and no- tice itcanal on the outside, which wua the a2cient moat, or ditch, ta pratect thé walls and- very soon, right under aur feet, goe the railway train which bas latety been penmitted ta go through the aId walis. Wc will hurry along past the ancient watch towers and past the water tower with its muséumn and showing évident signs of thie rough usuage by Cromwell's Cannon, and ta the Rodee. This is a large fiat place, of about 7o acres, used as a place for public parades, agriculturai faire, and is aiso the race course. This muet hé be what they caîl the '-turf" for there is uo race track thrown up. lu the days of bows aud arraws the citizens had sbootiug matches here, and it is stiîl deratcd ta sports. Froni the walls at this point is a very good viéw of Grosvenor JBridge, sa.id te be the largest, single spanneèd, stoxe, arch, in theivortd. It spans the river Dec 'with oue arch 2100 feet.,is 48 ft. wide, and 4o t. high. We left thé waIl and waiking ovér thé bridge were soon alongside thé cerne- tery. which je vcry beatatiful, and on a little farther we enter througb the gild- cd iran gates that lead ta Eaton Hall, the seat of the Duke of Westminister. The ra4p carne down, and as wée had net yetç éarned that it was net safe ta go out an Eugland without an umi- brella were compélled ta réturn.

The development of electric railways on this continent has been enormous. Since 1888, nearly $130,000,000 has heen invested in the United States and Canada in the conversion of horse car lines into electric railways and cable roads.
