Glasgow, Sept. 20.

This is our Glasgow Autumn Holiday—to the Sassenachs south of the border the equivalent of the August Bank Hollday—and it is as popular a public holiday as ever any popular Bonk Holiday is in England. It is, of course, the last public holiday of the year fo us in this big city and therefore we all take the fullest advantage of it. Shops are closed, Business causes and Glasgow empties HMself, or nearly so.

"An extraordinary exodus has taken place, Tt commenced on Friday eve-'Bing when large numbers thronged the Stations and set out for the paradise Fesorta, On Saturday the "exodus continued, only more so, It went on again on Sunday and it uring the forenoon to-day. Gl Population is depleted to an alarming extent—at least it would be that were it not for the fact that It 1s only a very temporary diminution ne to the holiday.
