COMMEMORANDA .
THE business of the past week has been mainly the pursuit , the steady , sloggish , matter-of-fact pursuit of p leasure . There is no mistaking an Englishman who has once made up his mind for a few days' festivity . He is so resolute , so overwhelming in all his preparations . He looks a little childish over it all , more like a harmless
imbecile , who suddenly finds himself at liberty to go whither and do what he likes , than a man who feels he has earned a brief respite from labour and means enjoying it . We have it on good authority Duke est desipcre in loco , but when people make fools of themselves , they should do
it in a sensible kind of way . And the loci are alarmingly on the increase . So much so , that Duke est sapere in loco —it is well to be wise occasionally—would seem to be the modern version of Horace ' s maxim . And the pleasurethat is ran after , has it any resemblance to the rale thing ?
A holiday like Whit Monday means getting up about the small hours of the morning , a free-fig ht for standing-room in a railway squash , plenty of gorging and free drinking at frequent intervals , boisterous horseplay , then another hour or two ' s railway squash—the term , if vulgar , is expressive
—and then a return home , more likely than nob towards the small hours of the next morning , headachy , out of sorts , or may be , just a little savage with everything and everybody . This is the sort of thing that our holiday makers indulge in with an earnestness of purpose worthy of a
better object . However , de guslihis , & c . It would not bo a holiday , we presume , if the pleasure sought after were a little less ecstatic , a little more sensible . Be this as it may , Whitsuntide has come and gone . The weather was
magnificent , the country wore its brightest aspect . ^ No wonder then if Londoners flocked in thousands , and in all directions , to get a sig ht of the green fields and inhale a little pure air .
The great attraction north of the Thames was beyond all dispute the Alexandra Park and Palace . Tho Directors had made a liberal provision in the way of amusements . These included a Grand Concert in the
large hall , Hengler ' s Circus , Wombwells _ Menagerie , a balloon ascent , several military bands , conjuring by Herr Frikell , athletic sports—these last , by the way , were an utter failure , —with performances dramatic , operatic , and elephantine ; in short every conceivable kind of entertainment . The numbers of visitors reached the enormous
total of 94 , 125 . Of course , inside the Palace and Grounds all went smoothly enough . There is ample room for even so immense a gathering to distribute itself in comfort , but the getting there , and worse still , the getting away aq-ain for homo — there was the rub . The railway
arrangements proved unequal to the enormous strain . Consequently the long hours of Tuesday morning saw some thousands of holiday folk wending their way horns , tired and perhaps disgusted . The Crystal Palace also had its throng of visitors , but the numbers were more manageable ,
just a little over 40 , 000 . As to amusements , they were much of a muchness—except the fountain display—with those at its Northern rival's , but in both the public
thought more of the outdoor than indoor enjoyments . But these were not the only places which offered especial entertainment . All the gardens round and about London had provided something novel m the way of attraction for the
