Eituual (!?xcurg5ion. 



The annual excursion took place in the Looe district, on 

 September 22nd, when a party of about forty ladies and 

 gentlemen assembled at Liskeard, from which place a start was 

 made about half-past 9. 



Crossinj? the Moorswater valley the party ascended the 

 opposite hill, the scenery of which embraces the Caradon and 

 Callington hills in the middle distance, and the dim outline of 

 Dartmoor in the far distance. The first halt was made at Duloe, 

 where the party was received by the rector, the Eev. Paul Bush, 

 who lead the way to Duloe circle. This circle is formed of 

 upright rough blocks of quartz. One stone lies prostrate in 

 the centre, five only standing upright. From the circle the party 

 went to the church, which is a Perpendicular building, restored 

 several years ago under the direction of Mr. St. Aubyn. The tower 

 had a most ominous leaning towards the building, and to prevent 

 it falling the upper stage was taken down, and the remaining 

 portion roofed in. In the interior there is a fine old screen 

 around the north chancel aisle, but there is no chancel screen. 

 The most remarkable object in the church is the handsome 

 altar tomb of Sir John Colshill, surmounted by his effigy clad 

 in armour. The mischievous urchins of the village have 

 indulged in the modern way of leaving one's mark, and the 

 ancient haters of Popery have cut away part of the inscription, 

 probably a part expressive of a wish that the departed might 

 still be prayed for. Mr. Bush called attention to the mouldings 

 of the arches and capitals of the arcade, which contained the 

 Tudor rose and several shields bearing arms. Gruide books tell 

 us that Dr. Scott, the joint author of Lidell and Scott's famous 

 Greek Lexicon, once held the living of Luloe, and it was to 

 the vicar's cheery residence on the side of a charming valley 

 commanding beautiful prospects, that the company next wended 

 their way. Here they became, for the time, the guests of 

 Mr. Bush, and partakers of his hospitality. They walked 

 through the pretty little avenue of trees in front of the house,
