stories still ringing in their ears. 
Stonehenge.—The morning of Tuesday, 26th June, commenced 
with heavy showers and dark clouds, but in spite of the threatening 
weather about 20 members were at the G. W.R. Station for the 8.51

about 20 minutes’ drive Old Sarum was reached. Passing through 
the Old Castle Inn the steep face of the hill was climbed to the 
summit fenced by a vast earthen rampart and ditch. The area 
within is an irregular circle ; in the centre is a second circular
