SEEING THE
LAKE COUNTRY
f. C. Woodward Telli More About
H it Travel» Over British
Territory.
Our next objective wan the Lake
District, for whoever would dare re­
turn home from England wlthcmt
first-hand material for a lecture or
OOurse of lecturde on the Lake Poets
and their environment?
Moreover
an excellent opportunity was here
afforded us historians and political
scientists to demonstrate our versa-«
tlMty, opr catholicity of taste by
varying our program when back
among the home folks with a dis­
criminating dissertation in the realm
of literary criticism. What a favor;
able impression would result— a de­
monstration of our Intimate famil­
iarity with the “ Lake D istrict!"
For this purpose we had allocated
almost an entire day, the time which
we figured it would take ds to ride
through the Lake region by coach.
It is true that Our Lady of the Com­
partment had urged upon us the ne­
cessity of taking a week for it. but
imagine three American tourists
squandering a whole week in such
a restricted sphere!
From Carlisle we reached Kes­
wick at the northern entrance to
the Lakes, at about *10:30 o’clock,
fifteen minutes too late to make the
coach for the regular day’s trip.
What now? There was nothing for
it hut__to charter an--automobile,
which, appropriately enough, proved
to be an Indiana Studebaker. Having
our own conveyance we were some­
what independent of the beaten path
as followed by the lumbering stage
coach and signalized our independ­
ence by making the circuit of Der­
went Water before starting out down
the valley.
Derwent Water is a
liquid gem in a rare setting. ■ Or, in
view of the wooded hills and cragged
mountains which encircle it, Der­
went is an aquatic sunken garden.
On looking down over it from the
skyline road we could exclaim with
Wordsworth—■
Who comes not hither
Ne'er can know
How beautiful
The world below.
On the ride ’round Derwent Water
we experienced again one of the
delights of traveling in England—
that of being brought face to face
every now and then with the reality
of some old nursery rhyme. At one
lonely point on the highway there
was a gate to be negotiated and
there in a wee house beside the road
livad an old man who, for a pittance,
was ever ready to open, reminding
one of
An old man who lived by a gate

And when no one would ride
He would open It wide
And march through himself in great,
state.
Our researches were not suffici­
ently extended to enable us to deter­
mine which one of the Lake Poets
is to be credited with this bit of
literature.
Starting off down the lake-strewn
valley from Keswick we stopped at
Orassmere to conduct our literary
studies at Dove Cottage, the home
of Wordsworth, our chaffeur "cut­

It may be said of the gardens that,
thoee that were good were very good,
and thoee that were bad were hor­
rid. They of course did not compare
generally with a garden like that
of Mr. Frank Wood, a man who has
taken prizes for garden work on both
sides of this continent, but we feel
certain any reasonable person will
agree that a splendid start has been
made.
The prizes have been awarded as
follows:
1st prize of (10.00 to Mabel
Towers.
^
2nd prize of $8.50 to Beech Pat­
ton.
3rd prize a cultivator (worth
$.6.80) to John Meiller.
Mabel Towers had a practically
perfect g arden throughout-the entire
growing season. It compared favor­
ably even with that of an expert
like Mr. wood. Beech and John, both
had very excellent gardens, which
were cared for faithfully.
The two cash prizes, total of
$18.50, for which we desire to pub­
licly express appreciation, were do­
nated as follows, by: Chas. K. Hub­
