A broad handsome street leads between alleys of sycamores, and the journey occupies about an hour and a half.

Immediately upon my arrival I was conducted to an out- building, in the yard belonging to which a fine large elephant was to be shewn.

I had already seen several of these creatures, but never such a fine specimen as this.

Its bulk was truly marvellous; its body clean and smooth, and of a dark-brown colour.
The park is most lovely; and the rarest plants are here seen flourishing in the open air, in the fulness of bloom and beauty, beside those we are accustomed to see every day.

On the whole, however, I was better pleased with the garden at Rodda.
