I THE ROYAL VISITORS. ———- « ——— I THE PRINCE AND CHESTER. I Tho Mayo:' received tho following gracious reply to the Corporation's greetings on Friday night:— I To Robert Lamb. Esq., Mayor of Chester. The Princess and I send you and the citizens of Chester most. grateful thanks for good wishes.— I Gustav Adolf. I TREE-PLANTING. I Heavy rain descended from an early hour on Saturday morning until about ono o'clock, and their Royal Highnesses remained indoors. In the mora genial weather of the afternoon they strolled about tiM grounds and performed the interesting ceremony of planting two oak saplings to com- memorate their stay at Saighton. Grange. They wero planted on tho fiont lawn under the guid- ance of Mr. England, the Counters' sardener. I AT CHURCH. Tho Royal visitors drove from the Grange to Bruera Church in a dosed carriage on Sunday morning about ten o'clock. As they entered the ancient little, edifice the strains of the National Anthem peaicd from the organ. Their Roval Highn?sea were conducted to the Countess Gros- v< nor s pew, and they joined in a choral celebrar tion of tho Holv Eucharist, tho music being chiefly composed by the Vicar, the Rev. J. C. Berkeley, and satisfactorily rendered by the small choir, Mr. Coppack presiding at the organ. The Prince and Prin- cess cd or m-atins, at which service the Rev. J. C. Berkeley preached. At the con- clusion of the service they drove back to Eaton. They were expected at Eaton for tea, but a violent thunderstorm interfered with their plans, and they took tea at Saightol1 Grange. It was calmer in the evening, and just before five o'clock they drove to Eaton. Entering tho Hall from the courtyard, the Royal visitors were received by Mrs. Quinnell, the housekeeper, and Mr. Killick. cleik of the works, who accompanied their Royal Highnesses through the house and gardens. The Princess, who had) been a guest at Eaton on several occasions, was quite at home, and herself pointed out to tho Prince many of the priceless art and other treasures, in which his Royal High- ness manifested much interest. They returned to Saighton about a quarter-past seven, having taken a short. drive throug-h Eccleston. A succession of thunderstorms during Monday morning kept the Prinoe and Princess at Saighton. I VISIT TO CHESTER. Cost-nans cherished the hope that the Royal bride and bridegroom would honour the city with a visit, and the wish was uiic-cpectodiv gratified on Monday afternoon. Their Royal Highnesses drove in a landau fiom Saighton Grange by way of D00 Banks. They arrived in the city just after four o'clock. The Giosvenor liveries assisted recognition, and the passing of the carriage kindled excitement all along the route. People who suddenly saw and knew stopped to gaze with interest after the smart equipage. and its distinguished occupants. Along Forcgate- slrcr-t, under the Eastg-ate. and down Watc-rgate- shrcot tlicy passed, and then, turning shaiply to the right by the Watergate, they proceeded via the Infirmary. Water Tower-road and Northgate- stroet to the Cathedral. Their Royal Highnesses apparently viewed' with interest the unrivalled architectural beauties of the old city. and seemed particularly observant of the quaint features of W atcrgato- sti eot. The stopping of the carriage at the south-west door of the Cathedral was the signal for the gathering of the people who chanced to be in the vicinity, including- the King's School boys, who happened to be leaving tho school at tho moment. Tho Prince and Princess passed within. and almost unobserved took seats at the west end. whence they obtained. & view of the nave and chancel. The afternoon servico was in progress, and the Prince and Princess remained for a short time. and tJion quietly left. On re-entering1 their carriage they graciously acknowledged' the respect- ful salutations of the little crowd, the Prince rais- jlJg his hat. Moving away. they passed down St. Wei-buigh-strect into Eastgate-street, and then via Bridge-street and Grosvenor-road out of the city. and by way of Eaton Park to Saighton Grange. GOOD-BYE TO CHESHIRE. I MIDNIGHT DEPARTURE. I TilCir Royal Highnesses brought their stay in Cheshire to a conclusion on Monday night, en- I training at midnight at Chester General Railway .Station on their way to Ireland, in which country. at Adaro Manor, the Limerick home of the Earl of Dunraven, tho remainder of the honeymoon will be spent. They left Saighton Grange shortly before twelve o'clock in a closed1 carriage. Just before their departure the Princess accepted a magnificent bouquet, handed to her in the Countess's name. The bouquet was appropriately composed of "Margaret"' carnations and asparagus ferns—fragrant reminders of the charming old- world gardens of the Grange—and was made up by the head gardener at the Grange at her ladyship's request. Their going-away was kept quite a secret, and Chester slept all un- conscious of the coming and going of the Royal pair. The carriage dashed up to the station at about 12.30 a.m. At the entrance were the Chief Constable of Chester (Mr.. J. H. Lavbourne), the Deputy Chief Constablo of Cheshire (Mr. Leah). Mr. Marrs (stationmaster) and a few others. A posse of city polios, under Inspector Wynne and Sergt Jones, lined up on either side of the en- trance. Tho Princess addressed a few words, to Mr. Marrs. and then, accompanied by the Prince, passed within, and entered a retiring room. Tho doois of tho station entrance wero immediately closed. The police. under the command of the Chief Constable, kept guard at the entrance, to the loom where the Prince and Princess remained until the 12 51 a.m. Irish mail arrived alongside the central platform. The police again lined up. thus securing an unobstructed passage for the Prince and Princess. Cheers were raised as they proc-cedcd to tli, train and entered an elaborately appointed saloon which had been specially at- tached to tlic, trtin. The Royal pair acknow- ledged the cheers, the Prince raising his hat and bowing t« the. small crowd. A minute or two later the signal for departure was given and the train was in motion. Another chcor broke forth from the enthusiastic few, and tho Prince rose fiom his seat and again acknowledged the parting salutation Her Royal Highness wore navy blue, with pale-blue' collar and levers. I INCIDENT AT HOLYHEAD. I On tho arrival of P;inc<? Gustavus AdolphuG of Sweden and Princess Margaret at Ho!yhcad on Tuesday morning -t 2.?5 o'clock, on their way to Ireland. Miss Doris P?nnoU had the honour of presenting a .x>uquct to the Princess, dressed in Swedish national costume, on behalf of three Swedish ladies, viz.. Miss Soclerstiom, Miss Sciiwiclcr. and Mis," Osterlin. They immediately boarded the. R.M.S. Ulster, wh'ch )cft later for Kinstown. A fresh wind prevailed The arrange- JT¡('n1. for thc:r ?cecption were satisfactorily car- ried out. I IN IRELAND. On landing at Kingstown they proceeded to Limerick, whence they went on by the Kerry train to Adare- Manor, which ha been placed at thoir disposal bv the Earl and Countess of Dun- raven. They will probably stay at Adaro Manor for ten clays. The Prince and Princess drove by motor-car on Wednesday to' Limerick, and thence to Killaloe. Tho' President of the Swedish Parliament, re- plying to' the speech from the throne on Wednes- day. referred, says Reuter s correspondent, to the wedding of Prince Gust.avus Adolphus and Prin- cess Margaret, and expressed the hope that King Oscar would find in their happiness a ray of light to illuminate the darkness of the piosont days, brcug-ht about bv Norway's revolution. JOURNEY TO STOCKHOLM. I M.ilmore, Monday.—The Prince and Princees Custanls Adolphus will come to Stockholm byway of Maimora, where they will arrIve on Jllly S Their Roval Highnesses will pas Domsund in a Swedish warship, and will land at Mnlmore at ono o'clock in the afternoon.

The President of the Storthing has received the following reply to his telegram of congratulation to Prince Gustavus Adolphus and Princess Mar- garet on the occasion of the wedding:—"Chester. June 17.—We thank you for your congratula- tions.—Gustavus Adolphus."

KILLED WHILE UMPIRING.—While taking part in a village cricket match at Twerton, Sussex. on Saturday, a gardener named Foster, who was acting as umpire, was struck on the side of the head with a cricket ball. He fell to the ground in an unconscious condition, and having been medically attended was carried home, where he died during the night.

I VANITY FAIR. I MEN OF THE DAY. I From Vanity Fair." I I SIR JOHN DICKSON-POYNDER. I Sir John Dickson-Poyncler is too sincere a politician to be quite successful. When Chip- penham elected him in 1892 he was a Conserva- tive with ideals—always a threatening combina- tion. He believed it to be possible to conduct the affairs of the nation on business lines; efficiency, with a capital E, was the political deity which he ignorantly worshipped. And thus it came about that, from a Party standpoint, he rapidly went from bad to worse. But Sir John being a popular man, very wealthy and of a pleasant countenance, pursues his career undisturbed by cautions from the Cabinet and the whisperings of Whips. He may not be quite so optimistic as he was thirteen years ago. Yet he stands by his opinions with a cheerful serenity. Moreover, he makes practical application of them in matters that arc outside politics. On the London County Council he was ever opposed to municipal extravagance. He had the audacity to suggest that the Council should leave business matters to business men. As Chairman of the Great Northern Hospital, he has laboured to promote a better understanding between the great hospitals, so that the charity of the Metropolis may be divided to their common advantage under the general guidance of King Edward's Hospital Fund. He has agitated to secure the regular employment of time- expired soldiers, and to reform the financial methods of the Friendly Societies. He did good work upon the Royal Commission on London Traffic, the report of which body will be published very shortly. He comes of a good fighting stock, for of the five Dickson baronets before him three were Admirals and two soldiers. It was in 1887 that he took the name of Povnder for reasons con- nected with a great legacy. He has travelled all over the world, and is now interested in garden- ing. He went out with his Yeomanry during the war, was placed on Lord Methuen's Staff, and returned with a D.S.O. He is a good shot. Even those who cannot tolerate his politics like him. JEHU JUNIOR. ORDINARY HARD CASE, Ke. 1469. A meets B, an old Oxford friend, at their club. B informs A that he became engaged the day before to Miss C. A comes from the same district in Ireland as the C's, and knows that Nlica C's grandfather and uncle are both insane. He has reason to suspect that B is unaware of the fact. What should A do? JUDGMENT IN HARD CASE. 1467. B cannot do anything but apologise. He knows A "very slightly.' THE ROYAL HONEYMOON. -1 Adare Manor, Co. Limerick, which the Earl of Dunraven has placed at the disposal of the Royal pair, is built in Tudor style, although it is quite a modern house. The interior is very beautiful, especially the gallery, which is of exquisitely carved Irish oak, that was grown on the estate. Adare is a sporting property, although at this time of year there iR, of course. nothing to shoot. The Earl of Dunraven has been a mighty hunter, and his trophies adorn the walls. HISTORIC CARROT SEED. I "D. S. 0. writes: The South African scandals remind me of the famous carrot seed case which occurred in India some years ago. A famine lay upon the land, and to the Viceroy of the time came a gentleman who recommended carrots as a panacea. Let the natives plant carrots in their ruined fields. The vegetable was a quick grower, and very sustaining. The Viceroy was struck by the idea, and wired home for carrot seed. The India Office immediately telegraphed to a leading firm of horticulturists, Please supply fifty tons of carrot seed." The firm being of opinion that there was not so much carrot seed in the world, suggested that the India Office meant fifty pounds. The India Office was certain it meant tons, and so the firm in question began .to collect seed with due diligence. When the carrot seed arrived in India, the natives would have none of it. And while the authorities were explaining its uses, behold, there came to the Indian merchants news that an English firm was ransacking the earth to obtain carrot seed. So the merchants bought barrels of seed from the authorities (who said, See what a demand there is for our carrots"), and forthwith exported them to London, from whence they were returned to India with neatness and despatch. In this case, however, everyone was perfectly innocent of evil. Neither the merchants nor the English firm nor the authorities guessed at the truth until an accident revealed it. A SHORT-LIVED REPUTATION. I Early last week, a gentleman of great wealth and greater social longings strolled into his club abouf half-past six, with an important air. Gazing round the smoking-room, he remarked, m surprised that none of you fellows went down to the garden-party." Was it a fine show?" asked the club cynic. Splendid. I never saw so many pretty women. The Swedish Prince is a good-looking young-" "Forgive me," interrupted the club cynic, but if you refer to the Royal garden-party, at Windsor—it's to-morrow." AN ARCHDUKE'S TACT. I An anecdote, for the truth of which I can vouch. will well exemplify the charming character and discipline of the late Archduke Joseph. Some years ago an English lady (now dead) was spending the winter with her daughter in Vienna. Austrian Society is the most exclusive in the world, and it is very difficult for a foreigner to get a footing in it. This lady was neither rich, beautiful, nor particularly distinguished in any way; but she was ambitious, and tried hard for some time to obtain invitations for herself and her child to the houses of great Austrian nobles. Finally, mortified and annoyed, she an- nounced in despair to her fellow -in the modest hotel where she was staying that on a certain day she and her daughter were invited to dine with the Archduke Joseph. The day came, and neither of the ladies appeared nt the hotel table d'hote dinner. Prying friends dis- covered, however, that they had spent- the even- ing in the seclusion of their bedroom. The story was repeater] to the Afchduke by one of 3iis suite as a good joke. "Poor thing." remarked the Prince, would she really like to dine at my house? Send her and her daughter an invita- tion at once. and let one of my carriages bring them here the night they come." The guests were duly invited, and pladlv accepted, and for the remainder of the winter our pushing fellow- countrywoman found herself asked to every distinguished entertainment in Vienna.

GOLF BALL IN BIRD'S NEST.—A small golfing party, including the Grand Duke Michael of Russia, spent the week-end at Reigate Priory as the guests of Captain the Hon. Ronald Greville, M.P. On the Earlswood links, Redhiil, on Satur- day, a player drove a ball into the gorse. A. search was made, and eventually it was found lodged in a bird's nest containing three eggs, two of which were smashed. MUSIC FOR THE PEOPLE.-On Saturday evening the weekly promenade concert in Grosvenor Park was provided by the band of the 1st V.B. (P.W.V.) South Lancashire Regiment, by kind permission of Col. J. A. Ed'eston. The following was the programme:—March, "Death or Glory" (Hall); selection, Irish Melodies" (Hume); cornet duet, "Ida and Dot" (nolka) (Losey); selection. "Opera Bouquet" (Bidgood); snite, "Eastern Gems (Telma) selection, The Mikado" (Sullivan); march, "The Regiment's Favourite" (Losey); "God Save the King." The Runcorn Detachment (2nd V.B.

j >:EWS OF THE IVO-LIILD. I Tii;4 Arch:»i.-hop of York was on Wednesday con- I •"i'le-i to |ii< i-M i by an attack of sciatica, but was progressing towards convalescence. Th honorMiv degree of Doctor of Laws was con- fmed upon Lord Cromer at Cambridge on Tuesday. The ceremony was attended by the Duchess of .1; ,tny. new battleship Hibemia. of the King j Edward VII. class, was launched at D--vonport. the new cruiser Achilles, on the Tyne, en t i rcl ay. Sunday was the ninetieth anniversary of Waterloo which was fought on Sunday, the 18th of June, 1815, and in memory of the day the British regiments which took part in the great fight decorated their colours Mr. H. Staveley Hill. Recorder of Banbury, has I been selected as the Unionist candidate for the I King-swinford Division of Staffordshire, and Major Dunne, of Kingsland, Herefordshire, as the Radical and Free Trade candidate. In a letter to Mr. F. W. Deacon. Mr. Chamber- ,ac?on. I r lain expresses the conviction that the great re- forms which he is pursuing havo taken a firm hold on the minds of tho working-classes, and that the ir.oro opportunities there are of discussing them on their merits the sooner will the time of Vie tory arrive. A passengor train and a workmen's train col- lided nearBaltimore on Saturday evening, eighteen of the workmen being killed on the spot, together with t.ho ensrinc-drivcr and ifreman, of each train. The people in the passenger train o.-oar>cd injury owing (says the Central News) to the strength of the coaches. In a letter to the secretary of the Union of Con- servative and Constitutional Associations, Mr. Balfour, through him, thanks the delegates for the addresses which were presented to him and the reception accorded him on the occasion of the recent Unionist demonstration in the Albert Hall, which was addressed by the Prime Minister. John Hansom, it was stated at an inquest on Tuesday, took 10 children in a boat up the river Tees at Yarm in order to cura their whooping I cough, this being a popular local remedy. When his little son fell into the water. Hansom, with a cry. "I am going, too, Ted," jumped after him. Both were drowned. A verdict of Accidental death" was returned on Tuesday at Southend at an inquest on Frank Nolan Appleby, a musician at the Kursaal, who had died from having being mauled by the lion, Bruno." It was stated that Appleby had been warned against going n°ar the lions, and that on the 10th instant he teased Bruno by striking it. Their Majesties, the King and Queen, have now determined to visit Manchester and Salford for the purpose of opening the new dock on Thursday, the 13th of July, instead of the 12th, as previously announced from official quarters. The arrange- ments for the royal visit were considerably advanced on Tuesday by the committees of the city and the borough councils, who have the matter in I hand. h k Correspondence is published which has taken place between Messrs. Christopher and Roney, solicitors to Colonel Morgan, and the War Office. It is represented on Colonel Morgan's behalf that there are two Meyers instead of one, and that owing to want of knowledge of this fact injustice has been done to Colonel Morgan in the report of the Butler Committee. At Holyhead on Wednesday evening Henry Kirk, a pointsman, met with a terrible death. Kirk was engaged in oiling the points whcui his foot caught in the Tails, and he could not extri- cate it. An engine came dashing along and knocked him down, crushing his head and cutting one of his feet off. Ha leaves a wife and several children. Commander Cawley, R.N.R.. speaking at the annual meeting of the United Kingdom Pilots Association, at Glasgow on Wiednesday, said the law which allowed alien shipmasters to obtain a British pilotage certificate was a national danger, and should be repealed. No nation was foolish enough to reoiprooate the privilege. This country legally protected the alien and pauperised our own pilots. At Durham, on Wednesday, John Wm. Lucas, manager for a motor cyclist deaLer, of Durham, and Alfred Smyth, employe of the Salford Cor-. poration, were fined E5 and costs each for riding motor cycles at dangerous speeds. The Rev. Canon Greenwell, chairman of the bench, said these people were becoming an intolerable nuis- ance to the. public. He did not quite say they should shoot them, but it would be a good plan if a flew were shot. In the House of Commons on Wednesday. Mr. Gerald Balfour informed Captain Ellice that he had received no complaints of annoyance caused to ministers and their congregations in the Metro polis by the hooting of motor-car horns during the hours of Divine service on Sundays. The regulations as to sounding the horns were in- tended for the safety of the public, but he hoped that motorists would recognise the propriety of avoiding as far as possible the need for sounding in the neighbourhood of churches and chapels during the hours of Divine service. The inquiry into the loss of the submarine A8 concluded at Devonport on Wednesday. The court found that the buoyancy and trim of the submarine were altered from some unexplained cause, but there was no evidence to shew the position of the rudders. The court regretted that the commanding officer did not stop the engines sooner when he realised that his repeated in- structions had not oo:'n carried out, but there was no reason to anticipate danger running th? boat trimmed as it was. Lieut. Candy and Sub-Lieut. Murdoch were acquitted of all blame. A difference of opinion has arisen between Sir Richard Bulkeley, Beaumaris, and the local Coun- cil. Sir Richard, in response to reprcsentationa from the inhabitants of Raglan-street, consented to put gardens in front of their houses, but the Council objected on the ground that the street would then be too narrow. On Wednesday night a meeting of the Council was convened to con- sider the question of seeking counsel's opinion. Sir Richard, who was present, made a pacifying speech, and said whatever he had done for the town of Beaumaris had been to its interest. A motion was ultimately carried granting permis- sion for the projected improvement. Although the King is unable to attend the Blackpool celebrations, the Council intends to make the occasion a noted one, and has decided to invite al the mayors and Mayoresses of Eng- land. Scotland, and Ireland 370 in all, to the celebrations, commencing on July 25th, in com- memoration of the opening of the newly-widened promenade, three miles long. Civic and military processions, an unveiling of a memorial of the great undertaking, which has cost the town half a million, and a splendid banquet are among the first day's proceedings. A special programme of entertainments is in preparation, and there will b3 automobile raoes during the rest of the week. At a meeting of the Pwllheli Town Council on Tuesday night, the Mayor called attention to tho question of restoring th3 old name of "Porth-ly" for the town. Pwllheli was originally called by that name. He had been perusing the old records in London, and could not trace the name of Pwllheli at all, but Porthely. The seal of the Corporation also confirmed that the old name of the town was Porthely, and that it was named after Heli Ap Glanowd, a wealthy gentleman who re- sided in the town many years asro. and who took great interest in the town.—The matter was referred to a committee for further considera- tion.

ENERGETIC MAN'S SECRET. I REGAINED FULL HEALTH & STRENGTH I THROUGH DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. The strongest man has h:s moments of weak- ness. when the body requires assistance. An example and a warning is the case of Mr. Charles Vosper, the amateur athlete, whose walking has won him fame. But of one race Mr. Vosper has vivid recollections, as gathered by a "Bourne- mouth (,uardiati" ieporter. For once Mr. Ves- per's powers forsook him. Something was wrong with me," he said, "and I put it down to the effects of a succession of colds, I MR. C. VOSPER, re wcll-knotvnwalkcr, owes Ins renewed health to Dr. Williams' Pink PiUs. and after that race I remained quite out of form until I regained my vigour through Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a few weeks ago. "I am a carpenter by trade." continued the athlete when seen at Melbourne, Gran ville- road. Upper Park-stone, Dorset, "and up to the time I mentioned I had health and strength for all kinds of sport. After that my troubles came fast. The least exertion tired me out until I feared I would never race again. I suffered from depression and languor, and slept heavi- ly at any time. I did not relish my meals. At times I seemed terribly weak and my legs trembled. I felt unwill- ing to take any exercise. and this feeling increased until to walk at all became ex trein ely trying. I did not seem to have any life, and a slight exertionexhausterl me. "I lost nearly a stone in weight, and Ijecame so haggard that my friends remarked upon it..men came a remarkable change. My brother Henrv, who suffered from dyspepsia, was cured by Dr. Williams' PinkPiHsforPaIePeopIe. I began to t?ke them when my trouble was at its height. My spirits brightened after two doses. Gradually the depres- "ion and languor left me. My wind and staving power Improved, until now I am stronger and in better condition than ever before. I have taken three boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills altogether to which I owe my complete recovery."

IARFOD CLUB. I The Loyal Trevor Lodge of the Grand United Order of Oddfellows, the oldest friendly society i:l this district, held their annual festival on Tuesdav. During the morning the climatic conditions were most unfavourable, causing the members to wisely abandon the usual perambulation of the neigh- bourhood. At one o'clock they assembled at their headquarters, the Trevor Arms Hotel, and, headed by the handsome banner of the lodge and too Buckley Town Band, they marched to Rossett Church for divine worship, calling en route at the Vicamge. where thsy were joined, by the Rev. E. Charley. The service at church was partly choral. and was conducted by the Vicar, who preached a suitable discourse based upon I. Corinthians xvi., 13, "Quit you like men, be strong." Upon leav- ing the eacred edifiee the weather, which had previously been dull and wet, now became more genial, and happily continued so for the remainder of the day, The members, who returned direct to in processional order, afterwards sat down in a marquee to an excellent repast. The chair was occupied by Mr. Charles Davies, while the vice-chair was taken by Mr. J. Randies, of Hem House Farm. They were supported by Dr. Manistv, Mr. Hugh Lowndes, Mr. W. Harvey, Mr. E. Bellis, and Mr. Philip Parry (lodge sec-ro- tary). After the usual loyal toasts the Chairman made feeling allusion to the bereavement re- cently susiained by the president of the society, Mr. Chancellor Trevor Parkins. They had also to deplore tho loss of Captain GrifSth-Boscawcn, who ior many years took a genuine interest in the society, often honouring them with his presence, at their annual gatherings, as well as subscribing liberally to their funds. He moved that tne secre- tarv be* instructed to forward letters of condolence to the relatives. The members showed their, ap- proval by standing.. Letters expressing regret at inability to attend were lead irom Mr. A. Ash- worth, Mr. Trevor Boscawen, Major Robertson, Mr. A. L. Duncan, the Rev. E. A. Fishbourne (vicar of Gresford), and the Rev. E. Charley (vicar of Rossett). The Chairman submitted "Continued Success to the Loval Trevor Lodge of the Grand United Order of Oddfellows," expressing pleasure at seeing such splendid assets as tho lodge possessed. Somo additional expense had been incurred, he said, owing to necessary repairs to property. I his money he believe.d to have been wisely spent, He also congratulated the society upon the excel- lent work it had accomplished, in the district. (Applaus.e)-The Secretary (Mr. Philip Parry), whoso name. was associated with the toast, pointed out the principal items in the balance-sheet, as- suring the members that their funds, which now amounted to £ 1,264, were invested in good security. (Hear, hear.)—Dr. Manisty gave "The Navy Armv and the Reserve Forces."—Mr. Hugh Lowndes submitted the health of the medical offic,ers.-Dr. Manistv, who was warmly received, spoke of his long connection with the Trevor Lode;?, which was now the oldest friendly society in the neighbourhood.—Mr. W. Harvey gave "The Visitors.' and coupled the toast with the name of Mr. Hugh Lowndes. (Applause.)—Mr. Lowndes responded.—Other toasts followed, and in the evening dancing took place upon the green to the strains of the Buckley Silver Band

AmIY AND VOLUNTEERS. I DENBIGHSHIRE HUSSARS. Capt. and Hon. Maj. E. J.W. Platt was on Friday night gazetted major. CRIMEAN VETERAN.—General Sir George W. A. Higginson, G.C.B., one of the few remaining veterans of the Crimean war, celebrated his 79th birthday on Wednesday. He is exceedingly popular at Marlow. where he resides during the summer months, and takes the greatest interest in local functions, and is a well-known habitue of the river. ACCIDENT TO VOLUNTEER CYCLISTS.- After the third Glamorgan Rifle Volunteers manoeuvres on Bishopston Common, near Swansea, on Saturday, the cyclist section were coming down a steep hill, two abreast, when a machine skidded, throwing its rider and the rider of the adjacent bicycle. The riders following came into collision with them, six machines in all being overturned. Two of the cyclists, Sergt. Collins and Private Tfcomas England, were seriously injured, and were taken to hospital suffering from concussion of the brain. THE REVOLVER ABOLISHED.—The use of the revolver, which has done good work in savage warfare, is now to be discontinued in hostilities against civilised nations. During the late South African campaign the Webley revolver was carried by all drivers of the Royal Field Artillery, drivers of transport, farriers, and staff sergeants of other arms of the service, but these weapons proved more dangerous to friend than foe, owing to the soldiers never having sufficient practice in the use of them. None of the drivers of the artillery used the revolver after the first few weeks of the campaign, and the consequence was, it was packed away in each man's kit, thus causing extra weight to be carried for a weapon which was of no fighting value. The officers who served in South Africa, in their reports, are unanimous that the revolver is a good weapon to use against savage tribes at close quarters, but are equally agreed that it is useless in civilised warfare, where battles are fought at longer ranges. For these reasons it is proposed to abolish the revolver in favour of a very light carbine, I experiments on which are now being carried out. Farriers and shoeing smiths will still carry a revolver, but only for the purpose of killing horses and cattle. 1ST CHESHIRE R.G.A. (VOLS.).-Itegimental orders by Lieutenant-Colonel and Hon.

ALERT DETECTIVE.—Being suspicious of the movements of a man whom he saw walking in Grosvenor-square, London, Detective-sergeant Chatt obtained permission to enter a house, and from the balcony watched the man o, down several areas. The detective noticed that on leaving one of the houses a bag which the man was carrying and which was previously empty appeared to be full. He hurried after the man, and after a severe struggle arrested him. The bag was found to contain silver plat? valued at £15. which, it was alleged, had been stolen from the butler's pantry at the residence of Mr. H. B. Robinson. The man. who gave his name as Antoine Mouin and described himself as a French waiter, was remanded for inquiries. VALUABLE DISCOVERY FOR THE HAIR.

I BOWLING. I XESTON CLUE. Ihe xirst main of the present season in con. nection with the Neston Bowling Club was brought to a close on Monday evening. The prizes offered for competition were three in number, the first prize presented by Mr. W. H. H. Quinsey, the second by Mr. W. J. Jackson, and the third by the club. The various contests created much interest among the members and the general public, and the weeding-out process was closely watched. After the fourth round the fittest survived in the persons of Messrs. T. Cottrell, A. Jamieson, and J. Basnett. The veteran Cottrell disposed of A. Jamieson in the semi-final with comparative ease, but the good fortune of J. Basnett, who had had two byes in the main, continued to the end, and he bore off the principal trophy, the second and third prizes being taken by T. Cottrell and A. Jamieson respectively.

I WHAT "THE WORLD" SAYS The Ministers and the Great Officers of the Household have issued invitations for full-dress ban quests on the night of Friday the 30th. "to celebrate his Majesty's birthday. The Prince of Wales is to dine with Mr. Balfour; Lord Lansdowne will entertain the Ambassadors and other Chefs de Mission and several members (past and present) of the Diplomatic Service; but the usual reception at Lansdowno House is not to be given this year in consequence of the death of the Duchess Dowager of Abercorn. The King and Queen are to dine at Londonderry House. Park Lane, and Lady Londonderry will give a ball after the Royal banquet. It is understood that a second State ball will be given early next month at Buckingham Palace, for which about two thousand two hundred invitations will be issued by the Lord Chamberlain from the revised list sanctioned by the King. The Private Chapel at Windsor Castlo, where the Royal Family attended for Divine Service on Sunday morning, is a continuation of St. George's Hall, an apartment of the same width but about a fourth of the length. It is to the east of the Hall, behind the great organ, which is to the west of the chapel. A galley* and key-board in the chapel enable the organ to be played for divine service. The bellows are worked from the base- ment. This chapel is furnished in plain oak. and the general style is plain. There are medallions on the walls containing portraits of Dean W ellesley. Dean Stanley. General Grey. Sir Thomas Biddulph, and some other deceased mem- bers of the Household. There is a tablet in memory of the Prince Consort, and there used to be one to John Brown, but that has been re- moved. Wh en at Windsor the late Queen I invariably attended service at this chapel during the last forty years of her life. Mr. and Irs Herbert Gladstone and Miss Paget have been spending the reoess at the Loch Laggan Hotel, Inverness-shire, where they were the guests of Mr. George Armitstead. and they had some excellent- trout-fishing in the loch. In the same district, Mr. Guy Hargreaves has been staying at the shooting-lodge in Gaic-k Forest, and has taken large baskets of trout from the Tromie and other streams there and fro-n Loch Vrotten, his catch from the lock including several fish of three pounds each. Lord and Lady Beauchamp's fancy-dress ball on Thursday night went off with complete success. The hall was beautifully decorated with roses and lighted by electricity, and the grounds and drives were illuminated. Lord and Lady Beauchamp appeared as Lord and Lady Beauchamp of Powyke in 1450. The Duke of Westminster was the first Earl of Surrey, and the Duchess was the Empress Josephine. Lord Chesterfield was Sir John Stanhope in the Faerie Queene, and Lady Chester- field was Aenid.
