Probably the bigy Inâ€" ternational Exhibition in progress causes some of the stir and bustle which pervades every street and square from the Station to the Suburbs. ‘The main streets were brilliantly i‘lumimated electric lights, gas lights and Chinese Lanterns, Imitations of these last too, made of glass or porcelain were along two or three streets for miles in length suspended by the hundred acrosk the streets and along the front of the larger houses and shops, in fantasticalâ€" ly arranged figures or in graceful ‘turves making some artistic designs. The effect of these all, especiaily in sime of the public squares, when fully lighted up at night was magical. It was like somé everchanging fairy scene in which the gay moving throng of humanity fitly pictured the fairies themselves. Banting, national and otherwise, wagâ€"ewerywhere displayed in profasion.

We spent the evening with Mr Pyl, Mr. Jansen‘s friend and the kindâ€" ness which he and Mrs. Pyl extended to us will long live in our memories as one of the bright events of our Europeâ€" an visit. _ Canadians are wont someâ€" times to think that European hospitali ty is not equal to their own.

Brilliancy of Brussels. : CADecii It was our good fortune on the way out to meet an English gentleman, a retired physician, who had been several times over the ground before. He was one of the affable kind who delight in showing kindness to others. His readâ€" iness to give all possible information enâ€" abled us to yiew the more important points of interest in the shortest time. On the centre of the field is a huge monrd of earth, called the mound of the Lton, 200 ft. in neight, thrown up on spot where the Prince of Orange was to his officers orders to march the troops at once to Waterloo. _ He then reâ€"entered his apartment, read over a number of despatches, replied to same, and made his plan of Campaign, had his own horse brought and in fortyâ€" three minutes was on his way to Waterâ€" loo, For his promptness in this c. itical moment the memorial was erected. The road to Waterloo even at that time must haye been beautiful but probably the thoughts of the great Communder were too busy with the imomentous issue at hand to take any note of what was passing. It would haye been a pleasure to rid : over the same road in the saddle. but our time would unot permit. . The Railway station nearest the field is called Braine L‘Allend three miles farther on than the Village of Waterloo. Arriving there a coach is in waiting to convey passengers if they so choose, to the centre of the field 14 miles distant, the fare one way is a franc the return journey 1§ franes tor the coach alone. to British travell&rs usually floated the Union Jack in addition to their own. In the Exhibition ground too, all around the British exhibit the dear old flag seemed to guard like flying senâ€" tinels the interests of the old land. It ,isimpossibe to describe the feeling that comes oyer *‘ a true Britisher" in a forâ€" eign country surrounded by alien tongues, peoples customs and banners when he sees or touches the " flag that has brayed a thousand years the battle and the breeze." Even the sight of it ‘floating from the masthead of a ship‘ or steamer seems to inspire confidence ’in the staunchness and sea worthiness of the craft. | Next morning we decided to visit the battle tiecld of Waterloo. To every British subject this is a sight of peculiar interest. Indecd all nations seem to be interested in it, for all nationalties and classes visit it The scene of the battle is about 13 imiles from Brussels. The train, after a halt hour‘s ride through the forest along the route taken by Wellington and his brave troops on the night preceding the great victory. â€"It will be remeimbered that the despatches informing him of Napoleon‘s advance on Waterloo reachâ€" ed him during the progress of a ball in Brussels, when " Belginm‘s capital had gathered then her beauty and her chivalry. " There is a memorial to Wellington, erected by the British parâ€" liament I believe, on the spot in Brusâ€" sels where he, mounted on the nearest norse he could find, ordered the bugle to sound the call to arms and deliver The exhibition itself was not of so much interest to us. Much, all of it indeed, was gocd, but it was small in comparison with the World‘s Fair in 1893 and some departments were no better than the Industrial in Toronto every year. France, I think, made the greatest display. Every phase of French industry and art almost, was to be seen. ‘The parts representing the manufacture of different articles were of considerable interest. Fur and felt hats, artificial ice, paper of all sorts, . engraying and printing of all kinds, silk, woollen, cotton and linen, spin ning and weaving were perhaps the most important. _ One could order a felt hat to measure and " while you wait" you could see it made, from the fur still on the skin till it was dyed and ribboned ready to don. So pith many other things. But as exhibitions| are so common at home and as all are a good deal alike I shail not now inflict: upon you tfurther details. # ONTARIO ARC TORONTO ars, etc. etc., in Brussels must be left over till I see you face to face. In the meantime I wish you, family and home friends generally the best of all good @=1 courage was madea Major. Not much wosâ€"cer that she scanned carefally the armor found to see if any hbore his name. Many of the swords had the owner‘s name engraved on them near the hilt. She found none, though she was allowed the distinguished honor of writing in a book, kept sacred for the descendnets of those who took part in the fight, her name, date of visit, place of residence, regiment and position of soldier, ancestor or relative and‘ her relation to said ancestor. The keeper of the book told her it was an honor to have one‘s nan.e enrolled in that book and of late years not many new names had been added. But space will not allow me to proâ€" long th:s further, the many other interâ€" esting sights, as buildings, parks, bazâ€" wounded in the battle. This mound is about 4 of a mile in diameter at the base and is surmounted by a square stone coping 15 or 20 ft, high and formed into wide steps around which observers may see all parts of the field. On top of the stone is the figure of a huge lion cast by Cockerill of Liege from cannon capâ€" tured from the French at the battle and is said to weigh 28 tons. From the top of this "Mound of the Lion," the whole field like a huge spreadâ€"out canvass may be seen. From our English friend we soon learned the position of the contendâ€" ing armies, where the chief struggles of the day took place. where some of the bravest had fallen, where the wounded were cared for, and many other things historical and otherwise connected with the memorable battle, One rather lud> icrous â€" incident â€"connected with the "Lion," is perhaps worthy of space,. In 1832 it will be remembered that the Belgians and the French had a "warlike brusb." The French soldiers on their way to Brussels stepped aside to see the ficld and in order to avenge Waterloo hacked a few inches off the Lion‘s tail, The French General to his honor and credit prevented furthur injury to the mound. It has often been suggested that the "tail be repaired‘ but the Belâ€" gian Govt. refused, saying that it would be a pity to remove evidence of how easily agreat battle may be avenged. It is sail the French themselves have even offered to repair the damage to remove any obloquy that may be attachâ€" ed to it, but still the same refusal as a taunt to the "Avengers‘ of Waterloo, To Miss McDonald the field and musâ€" eum were of more than ordinary interâ€" est. Her grandfather, Capt. Alex. Mcâ€" McDonald took an active part in the engagement. He was wounded several times though not severely, had two horses shot under him, and for gallant uy A1 the foot of the mound there is a hotel where English is freely spoken. Part of the hotel is set apart as a museum for relics of the fightâ€"swords, bullets and armor of all kinds are here sei out in order with date of finding and place where found recorded.
