A Picture of Queen Victoria and the

Rev. II. Uaylics, who is writing a series
cf letters from L'ngland to tho Zion's Her
ald, draws tho following picturo of Queen
Victoria and tho royal family, which dif
fers materially from tho roso-colorod por
traits that me generally presented ol her
Majesty. The picturo was taken ut the
Ascot Races. It is well the artist delayed

;Unving been disappointed by a slow
train in reaching tho place in season to
sec the Queen and her husband and chil..
dren finer, 1 determined to get ns near
her Majesty as possible, and succeeded in
getting into aMiiall enclosure just in fiont
of her stand, which enclosure, I have rea
son to think from a notice, was designed
only for "tho members of tho Joekney
Club' It was a very good place, howev
er, and fornn hour or two I had the most
favorable opportunity of look in" nt ninl
quizzing tho Queen, Prince Albert, l'rinco
of Wales, Princesses Alice and Helen and
Louise, together with her Royal Highness,
Hie Duchess of Cambridge, tho Count of
Flanders, Prince Louis of IIcsj ; in all,
cloven carriage lends of royalty und no
bility. l'rinco Albert is a good, wide nake,
sensible looking man, familiar and c.vv,
and fit for a husband to a queen, which
he is, and only is. l'rinco ot Wales is n
boat It, of light complexion and rather
eparo ; looks like a fair, sensible senior in
college, and will graduate at Oxford some
time in June. Tho Princesses resemble
very strongly the Princa of Wales, und
aie noi especially noticeable lor beauty;
indeed, I should not have looked at them
a single niiiiuto were they not daughters
of tho throne. As to tho other persona,
ges, I saw nothing that would attract at
tention. There were a thousand on the
field better looking, and lo all appearan
ces equally sensible. I suppose il does
not reqtliro much senso to patronize horso
racing, does it V Well, what of tho Queen ?
I am not in England, and so 1 may speak.
Understand, I was within from twenty to
sixty feet cf her more than an hour, look
ing with my own natural eyes, nnd with
tho samo eyes a .sistcd by powerful raco
gksses, which I boirowod. Lot mo say
then as I thin:.
