Cecil, the first Earl of Salisbury, who, as Lord Burleigh, was the 
celebrated prime minister of Queen Elizabeth. Before parting, Mr 
Miller and Mr Barton were most cordially thanked for their 
kindness and courtesy in conducting the party over the estate, and 
in showing and explaining to them everything of note and interest 
that was met with in the course of the day. 
Returning by railway from Hatfield to London, King’s Cross 
Station was reached about half-past five o’clock, and there the 
Scottish contingent said good-bye to their English friends. Most 
of the Scottish members travelled north the same evening by 
the London and North-Western and Caledonian Railways, to the 
managers of which the Excursionists were greatly indebted for 
the admirable train arrangements made for their comfort.
