Albert Memorial Chapel, formerly known as Wolsey’s Chapel, 
which was restored and beautified by the Queen as a memorial to 
the Prince Consort. In its restoration, and in the decoration of 
the interior, the leading artists of the day were employed, and it 
is now one of the richest and most elaborately decorated edifices 
of modern times. The roof is formed of beautifully enamelled 
mosaic; the walls are coloured marbles, enriched with classic 
sculptures ; the windows are of gorgeous design ; and the marble 
flooring a perfect work of art. Along the centre of the chapel 
are the cenotaphs to the Prince Consort, the Duke of Albany, 
and the Duke of Clarence. 
On emerging again into the open air, the party gathered upon 
the broad flight of stairs under the great western window of St 
George’s Chapel. Here the Jarge group was successfully photo- 
graphed by Mr Philip Cockburn, Dalkeith, photographer to the 
Society. 
WINDSOR TO CLIVEDEN. 
By 10 o’clock all were in readiness to start from the White 
Hart for Cliveden, a distance of about 8 miles from Windsor. 
In a dozen well-filled brakes the party crossed the Thames, drove 
through Eton, and took the road by Dorney and Burnham to 
Cliveden. The sun was pouring down its rays in all their 
strength as Eton was left behind, the roads were deep in dust 
for the first mile or two, and the few trees here and there 
afforded a grateful shade as we passed them. The fields along 
the road presented everywhere a deplorable sight, on account of 
the long-continued drought which had been experienced in this 
part of England. On the light gravelly and rather poor land of 
the district, a great deal of the oats and barley appeared to be 
not worth reaping. On some broad acres which had been cut, it 
looked as if the whole produce of the soil could be taken to the 
stackyard on a single cart. Turnips were literally burnt out of 
the ground, and potatoes were also a very poor crop. Such a 
state of things the agriculturists of the party declared that they 
had never before witnessed. Hn route, the company were much 
attracted by the tumbledown picturesqueness of many of the rustic 
cottages, thickly clad as most of them were with a wealth of 
climbers, among which Wistaria sinensis was conspicuous; by the 
splendid elms and tall poplars in the vicinity of Burnham Abbey;
