An EaGLe IN HOLDERNESS.—During the morning of the 8th 
of April, 1899, when in the garden with my son, Beaumont, I sawa 
large bird about a quarter of a mile away. It was followed by some 
crows, though they were at a respectable distance. The bird was 
coming from the north, and there was a strong westerly wind 
blowing. It flew in circles somewhat after the fashion of a hawk, 
and came right over us, not forty yards away ; so near, in fact, 
that its talons, beak, colour, etc., could be distinctly seen. There 
could be no doubt that the bird was a very fine specimen of an eagle. 
It flew towards Wassand Wood, Hornsea, where we hope it found 
a safe asylum. Though we had ample opportunity we did not 
shoot the bird, and we hope this example will be followed by 
others,—WILL1AM Morritt, Atwick,
