Even it they did not find it the restful quietness of the country and the bracing, invig- orating air of the seaside proved welcomesubstitutes. Swimming, fishing, walking, 1en- nis, golf, cricket, bowls, canoeing, )ad’\llng riding and hunting all found ardent devotees. Now that the \uzuil Bank Holiday is over, Lon- don is once again the busy, hum- ming city of men and women bent on furthering British business and re-gaining for London the position she once occupied, that of being the mosl imporlam city in the world. any Feurth of July, Labor day, Thanksgiving day, or New Year's | day, he does have his Boxing day, | Easter and August Bank holidays, and he makes the most of them These days are even more I ing and gay if they come on Fri day, Monday, or Tuesday. since # long week-end results. The recent August Bank holiday is an example of the spirit which prevails. Four million Londoners packed up their sunshades and mackintoshes | (English for slickers or raincoau),‘ and descended on resorts like a thundering herd. With their rapid | exit, London was left like a city al- most forgotten. Buses rattled over empty streets, subways completed | entire Journeys with only a handful of passengers, eating houses closed their doors, business firms exhibited locked doors, even afternoon news- papers did not appear as alert as | usual. Piccadilly, except for the three old | flower women and the odd shoe- | shining fraternity, was dea¥ auring | the day. At night people came to attend theaters or cinema houses, | but the usual seven, cight and nine o'clock crushes were not there. The 4,000,000 got away somec where, even if only to the outskirt Greater London. Roads, rai waterwa air and by-paths were alive with Bank holiday pleasure seckers. 500 Extra Holiday Trains Some idea of how London citizens slip away from narrow, crowded streets to the countryside, beach re- sorts and the continent can be gain- ed by the special accommodations provided hy railroads, motor bus lines, tram lines, shipping lines and alrways: 2,500 extra trains were run 15,000 holiday-makers left Eus- | ton and St. Pancras before noon of the first day of the week-end. 1 95,000 left Paddington All main line trains were run in triplicate. Fifty automobiles were taken to Seotland by rail Half a million meals were served | on trains throughout the country | on Satufay. | Trains from King's Cross,ran in | duplicate and triplicates.

Every aghilable motor-coach in | London, Glasgow, Newcastle, Leeds, Bradford, PSheffield, Manchester, | Liverpool, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Leicester and other large cities was called into use.
