Pic-Nic Of The Architect Lodge, No. 1375.

PIC-NIC OF THE ARCHITECT LODGE , No . 1375 .

THE majority year of the Architect Lodge waa celebrated by a pic-nio , which took place on Monday , 19 th Jane , the earn * being attended by 46 members and friends , 23 of the latter belonging to the fair sex . Oar representative ( Bro . Edward Eoberts P . M . ) has furnished ns with the following particulars . Saloon carriages had been provided for oar party , and npon arrival at Skipton , wagonettes awaited to convey as to the Devonshire Arms Hotel ,

where an excellent luncheon was partaken of , after which we were driven to Bolton Abbey and Woods , a neighbourhood rendered classical by the writings of Samuel Sogers , and our lake poet Wadsworth . One of the objects of interest to be observed at the commencement of this truly delightful drive , is the fine statue of Sir Matthew

Wilson , a former M . P . for the Wosfc Riding of Yorkshire , which is erected in the Market Place , Skipton . Then , in the language of Hans Breittnann , " Oh ! it ' s high hooray ! " for the lovely scenery , whioh includes Skipton Castle , and rocks , and a fine pastoral stretch of country , as yet undeseorated by the financial speculations of the jerry-builder . Passing through the valley of Etnbsay , distant two

miles east from Skipton , the view increases in interest end magnificence . On the left are the hills leading to Barden Tower , now a mere shell of its former glory , bnt once the seat of that remarkable martial family the Cliffords ; there is Bolton Hall , a residence of the Dnke of Devonshire ; and the memorial fountain , erected by publio subscription to the memory of tbe late Lord Frederick Cavendish .

Our party now arrived in sight of tbe famed Bolton Priory , one of those medisoval and religious landmarks , the associations of which date back almost to the twilight of English history . Tbe picturesque remains of this once magnificent monastic establishment are situate in the West Riding of Yorkshire , on the banks of the river Wharfe , six and a half miles from Skipton . A priory had already been bnilb

at Embsay , bufc was translated from thence to Bolton , though a melancholy event which happened to a youth , called from the place of his birth , the " Boy of Egremond . " This youth , who was the youngest , and only remaining son of his parents , Adeliza Romille and William Fitz Duncan ( nephew of David King of Scotland ) , was one day roaming through the Bolton woods , dressed in the garb of a

forester , with a greyhound in the leash . Coming to the Strid , which is a narrow passage torn by the river through a bed of solid rock , along which the waters , at ordinary times rush impetuously , he attempted a feat which visitors are warned not to emulate , both on account of the slipperiness of the rooks , and the deception to the eye :

its real width being mnch greater than its apparent one ; a single slip of the foot meaning an involuntary leap into eternity . Young Romille imprudently took this leap , and aa he bounded over , the greyhound hung back , drawing his unfortunate master into the foaming torrent . In Wordsworth's poem , "The Force of Prayer , " the accident is thns alluded to : —•

"He sprung in glee , for what cared he That the river was strong and the rocka were steep ? Bat the greyhound in tbe leash bnng back And checked him in his leap . " To perpetuate the memory of thw event , his bereaved mother determined to move the priory from Embsay , and accordingly erected a magnificent structure afc Bolton . It was one of those religious

establishment j which succumbed to the mighty change wrought by the English Reformation , being dissolved 11 th June 1549 . A delightful short walk brings us to the celebrated Strid . The weather was balmy and delicious , and in perfect unison with the general feeling of light-henrtedness which prevailed amongst the company ; the snn shone overhead , its glorious rays glancing through the branches ofthe tall spreading trees , and sparkling npon the waters of the river Wharfe , where they glistened like silver 5 the sky was
