THE FOURTH OF JUNE AT ETON.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—You suggest that the House of Commons should ad- journ over "Eton Montem ; " but " Montem " was abolished many, many years ago. I was at nearly, if not quite the last, sixty years ago. I cannot give the exact date of its abolition. —I am, Sir, &c.,

N.B.—You may possibly be intending to suggest the 4th of June, when the boats go up to Surly Hall, and there are still the customary fireworks, &c., as for more than a century.

[Of course.—En. Spectator.]
