Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used) BOURNEMOUTH. —There is little need to insist on the advantages that in a quarter of a century or so have increased the population of Bournemouth tenfold, and extended its practical boundaries from Hampshire into the neighbouring county. in position and aspect, Bournemouth is unique among English watering-places. From the ever-green valley of the Bourne (whence arose the nucleus of this resort) it stretches for miles in either direction upon the sandy cliffs and pine-clad table-land of a gently curving bay, broken by picturesque chines to the east, including Boscombe and almost Southbourne; and to the west, taking in Branksorne and the pretty Dorset village of Parkstone--all of which bid fair to form, at no distant date, one continuous line of more or less thickly grouped residences. In rambling about the town, one comes across Elizabethan and Gothic houses, erected at every conceivable angle and almost hidden among the foliage of the trees, beneath which grow luxuriant crops of ferns. Speaking of this favourite watering-place, one admirer says: "if a part of that road from Brussels to Waterloo which passes through the forest of Soignies were tacked on to Tunbridge Wells, and several patches of Ascot and Hampstead Heath; and bounded on one side by the sea and sandy cliffs of considerable altitude, with a Scotch moor added on, and a proportion of foreign-looking gardens interspersing the principal valley leading down to the coast; and if there were then set tip in the midst of all this a sort of combination of the best part of St. John's Wood and Surbiton-on-Thames, then, indeed, a fair idea of Bournemouth might be realized."
