224 CLV THE GRAMPIAN HILLS. 



But where there are so many magnificent equipages, 

 it appears invidious to particularise, and, therefore, I 

 recommend my readers to pay a visit to Hyde Park 

 on a fine summer's day, from 12 to 2 o'clock in the 

 morning. An opportunity is then afforded of hearing 

 the band of the Blues, which daily discourses a 

 beautiful selection of music at that time in front of 

 the new barracks, a building, by-the-way, much better 

 than the old, forming an ornament to the Park, and 

 being far more convenient and comfortable for both 

 officers and men. 



Should the day be sultry, 6 o'clock in the evening 

 is the time for a ride in the Row. The company will 

 be more select, if less numerous, than in the morning, 

 and the best-known personages of London society 

 may usually be found.
