Guides to English Points of Interest
Are a Curious Lot.
Much lias been said and written
about tlu* oflicial guides to show
places, but the usual drivers of ve
hicles who day by day for years
pass places of great interest, aud
who constitutethomselvesinform
al guides, are often far more full
of unconscious humor, if only for
the off hand way in which they
contribute information, says Lou
don Tit Hits.
' "uiv last slimmer, wnilst pass
ing in Yorkshire the scene of the
battle of Marston Moor, the driver
of the vehicle in which the present
writer was suddenly jerked his
whip in the direction of some
mounds that lined tlie roadside,
and in a perfunctory way said:
“This 'ere is wheer t’ Walts of t*
Itooases, or sunimat like that,
was foughten" (pronounced “fot
ten"). “T’ place wheer Allover
Crummle give t’ I took o’ York
what for, as Ah’ve been tolled, is
a baht ’ere, Ah’ve often heerd
tell frae my gran’fether abaht hah
he seed t’ deead 'tins ligging abaht
i’ reglar heeaps!”
Once, tit Knaresborough, a very
old driver, who pointed out to a
party a certain spot known as
‘•Dragon’s Hole," was asked in a
grave way: “I suppose there used
to be lots of dragons about here?”
In the cool, non-committal way of
the Yorkshireman the old man re
plied: “1 never seed no dragons,
ntisen, but if this is t' dragon’s
hoyle” (hole) “there must ha’been
dragons in t’ owr days. Ah’ve
heerd tell o’ sieli things, but hap
pen you’re better able to tell me
abaht ’em than I am to tell ye.”
In another case, on the field of
t he bat t le of Tewkesbury, a driver
who was asked: “I suppose there
are lots of bones up about here?”
are lots of bones turned up about
here?" replied: ‘‘I take no heed o’
bones it’s nil I can do to manage
this 'oss—but I'm told as more
bones and old iron than would fur
nish a rag and bone shop has been
found.”
Not Composing Now.
When lie was in America Mr.
W. S. Gilbert was one evening at
a fashionable function, given by
a lady of tin* “new rich” order,
who posed as a patron of music,
but who had not had time to edu
cate herself. She was foolish
enough to attempt to “show off”
before the English celebrity.
“And what is ltaeh” (“Batch" she
called it) “doing now?" she said;
“is he composing anything?”
“No, madam,” immediately re
plied Mr. (iilbert, wit bout a ghost
of a smile. “No, madam; Batch is
just now decomposing!”
Photograph of Unique Interest.
Lord Sheffield is the proud pos
sessor of a photograph of unique
interest. It is a picture of the Bui
lingdou Cricket club, of Oxford,
and among the team is King Ed
ward, then an Oxford undergrad
uate, in the least known of all his
roles that of a cricketer. It is
said that the king still treasures
the bat which he used when play
ing for the Bullingdon club over
40 years ago. The highest score
be ever made with it was live.
Nordica’s First Husband.
Mine. Nordica’s llrst marriage,
to Mr. (lower, of telephone fame,
came to a mysterious and dramat
ic conclusion. With the object of
testing his steering apparatus for
balloons, Mr. (lower essayed to
cross in a balloon from France to
England, and was never seen
again. The probability is that lie
perished in the Channel, but his
fate has always been a matter of
speculat ion.
Her Favorite Teapot.
Queen Alexandra has a favorite
teapot, which is often in use when
the queen is at Sandringham. It
is exceedingly curious, very old,
and is said to be of priceless value.
The toapot is in the shape of a
stout Dutchman sitting astride a
barrel of wine. The old man’s cap
serves for a lid, and a gold tap lets
out the favorite live o’clock bev
erage.
