Venice Lido Afloat With Peasants and Gondoliers
A Venetian Sunday excursion to the Lido is described with a steam launch from the Bridge of Sighs, a horse tram, and a lively pavilion. Peasant women offer seats, Italian speech is not musical, and bands play Verdi as locals swim and sun. Steamers disturb canals, gondolas persevere amid progress, and the scene contrasts past and modern transport. Also recounted is a Dutch horse tale with a boy using a trick to move a stuck wagon.
