The band of the R.M.R.E. Militia supplied a goon programme of music. Luncheon was served in a large tent, Mr Henry Clay presiding. He was supported by, amongst others, Lord Tredegar, Sir George and Lady Fores- tier-Walker, Colonel F. C. Morgan, M.P., Colonel B. Herbert, Colonel H. Lewis (Green Meadow), Mr E. Curre, Mr R. Stratton. Mrs Mundy, Dr. H. Gwynne Lawrence, Miss Clay. Mr L. C. Wrigley, and Mr Codrington Crawshay. After the loyal toast, Lord Tredegar said that before he came there it was on the distinct under- standing he would not be asked to propose a toast. In a very large building, capable of holding ten thousand people, at the Welsh Eisteddfod, he strained his voice, not by singing in a competition— laughter-but trying to make himself heard above the music. When he came there he said not all the pressure brought to bear upon him would induce him to undertake the task of proposing a toast, even for the Angel Gabriel. (Laughter.) How- ever, since he arrived he had been asked to propose the toast of the popular president Mr Henry Clay and he did it with the greatest pleasure. He and his family were always trying to do their best to promote the amusement and happiness of the people aronnd them, and they could not do it more suc- cessfully than by allowing the Chepstow Agricul- tural Society to hold their annual show in that beautiful park. The toast was drunk with enthusiasm, and, in response, Mr Clay said it was very good of them to come there, and he was pleased to see so many ladies present, and also to welcome Colonel Morgan, their member, who, he was glad to say, was re- covering from his illness. (Hear, hear.) He was delighted to lend the park and to see them all there. (Applause.) We are glad to hear that the attendance at this show created a record, the total sum taken in cash being 9152.
