| Description | HOUSE-BOATS AT HENLEY. Every year the great regatta at Henley-on-Thames is becoming more and more of an international festival; and each year crews from all parts of the Queen's Empire, as well as from the United States and other foreign countries, compete for, and not infrequently carry off, the prizes of the meeting. Each year the assembly becomes greater, the river more crowded, and, alas ! the prices higher. Along the banks are ranged rows of house-boats—floating villas—crowded with gaily-dressed spectators. The proprietor of each house-boat vies with his neighbours in decorating his home, and in the lavish expenditure which is necessary to provide the perfect appointments and luxurious appliances with which it is adorned. | ||
