in Keate's Lane. In the end the College offered to cancel my Lease, and start a new one, giving Mozley a 3 years' lease at the rate of £200 a year.

Harold Urmson came to see me one day this month. He has just won a First Class in Law at Oxford, and is a fine manly fellow.

June 20th. We went with Ada, Annie and Margie to see the Shah enter Windsor.

I have been reading Symonds' Greek Poets for my VIth Form work.

June 24th. The Review in the Park. The retinue of the Shah riding down the Avenue with his glittering diamonds, and the dashing escort of the Scots Greys, was a grand sight. The Queen looked well and smiling.

June 28th. A children's tea-party for Lily's birthday in our garden.

July 2nd. Another party for Annie's birthday at Burnham Beeches, where the children had donkeys and great fun.

July 7th. Heard of poor Jack Anstruther Thomson's death. He was a charming character. I have many Photographs of him.

July 20th. Roger Eykyn brought in the very sad news of Bishop Wilberforce's death by a fall from his horse, while riding with Lord Granville in Surrey. (I have seen the spot.)

July 22nd. My pupil Hayes got the Tomline. In the Examination of the First Hundred, Cooke and Ritchie

came out very well, 2nd and 3rd. Spring Rice was first, Ritchie appears to have done best in Classics.

August 5th. Very thankful that Mrs. Bannerman will take Louisa and the children.

August 6th. I went to Filey: met a very able man, Dr. Gladstone, with whom I kept up afterwards: went on to Scarborough and Whitby.

August 17th. At the old parish Church at Whitby (some one told me) the galleries were so constructed that the Captains could keep an eye on their vessels during the Service.

September 2nd. I stayed at Wynyard for a few days, and was shocked to find Lady Londonderry so pulled down and altered. Her daughter, Lady Avarina, had died in June at the age of 15. Her mother, Lady Edwards, is with her. We had some nice talks. I tried to comfort her.

I had some rides on a delightful pony; one of them was to see Canon Tristram at Greatham. He showed me many treasures he had collected in the East, partridges from Bethlehem, eggs worth £20 each, etc. He has 1,500 Species of eggs, and parts of all the animals. mentioned in Deuteronomy.

September 8th. Returned to Eton, where dear Louisa has been so kind in carrying out the move. The first morning in our new House it was very tranquillizing to see cows feeding in the field opposite, after the perpetual racket of Keate's Lane, and the view of the Castle is superb.
