The regiment was su th
ompanied to e review
by • large Number of sightseers. Until noon and after
'Miters arrived, and there was • long line of carriaires
stationed near the 'eluting point. The weather was
fine. The reviewing officer, Lieut.-Colonel Miller, of
the 3rd Dragoon guards, arrived about mid-day. The
Royal Horse Artillery—E Battery B brigade--stationed
at Vorehester, under the oommand of Lieut. Burnett,
totaled a cordon round the scene of operations. A.
passe of the county eonstabnlary, under Supt. Have.
wearing their new spiked helmets, were else on duty
or the interest of good order. Colonel Miller was
attended by Lieut. 11. Guest, of the Vali troop, as his
aide-da-cunp. lie inspected the ranks, the men being
drawn up in three squadrons; after which the men
marched put the saluting posts by squadrons. This
wee followed by the marching put by lours front the
right of (solemn, and next suceeeded by the regiment
galloping past in troops. Afterwards came a round of
DISDODUrreI and they acquitted themselves well. The
spectators seemed highly interested. In the marching
put an even and steady line was presented, and in the
wheeling and other movements marked precision wim
displayed. When one troop dismounted to skirmish
considerable amusement was 000saioned by the vagaries
of a dog—probably the dog of the regiment—whteh
, kept in the front all toe time the sharp file-firing was
going on, following the men as they retreated and
advanced with praiseworthy seal. The &aging at the
double was performed with great dash and spirit. The
Byelaw was prolonged until half-past two, about half-
asehour longer than usual. The regiment having
I advanced In parade order,
COLONEL 11ILLI9 said: Lord Richard Grosvenor,
officer' and men of the Queen's Own Yeomanry Cavalry,
—lt gives Ina very great pleasure to see you again this
year, and to notice a marked improvement in many
points. The men's seats are more reenter than lost
year, still some stirrups might be taken up. I think it
would be as well when they turn out for parade pur-
poses if the stirrups were a little shorter. There are
very few in fault, but last year there were a great
many. I also observe • marked improvement in "mother
polat—the boots are all in the right plus this year,
and altogether there is, I thinke,a great improvement
in the appearance of the men. The movements are
very good, although I think you want • little more
deaden's. There is one thing to be said—you have
not meoh opportunity for improvement in this respect;
but what chanced you have you ought to avail your-
selves of. The files are rather too open in wheeling,
not so much in line as in echelon movements. It is
very important that in attacking the action should be
as united as possible. A great thing to be observed Is
to keep as near as possible: but you cannot always
keep the distance within • foot or so. The great point
Is to be united in • body like one solid mass. The dis-
tances In moving by fours end by sections were rather
too much. The men hardly ream to know that they
should never keep a distance of more than half a horse's
length • if they exceed that they throw the rear rank
out, and thus an enormous extent of ground is lost. I
think these are the two principal points whieh have
struck me this year. Yonne a very fine regiment. A
new era, as no doubt you have hoard, has commenced
in the defenses of the country. The reserve forces will
henceforth take a prominent part—there can be no
doubt as to that. If you do not form the backbone in
the defence of the country—at all events you will form
as important a put as the regular army. Therefore we
must have good men in the reserves, whether they be
artillery, cavalry, or Infantry, and of coulee they must
be properly trained. I aus sure the spirit of the
yeomanry is well known, and they only require to be
trained in order to perfect themselves. Skirmishing
requires as much practice as possible I mean dis-
mounted skirmishing. Mounted skirmishing is seldom
used, and the labour is often thrown sway. Dis-
mounted skirmishing is the service where the
Yeomanry would be of the greatest us. and highest
imeortsnce, Therefore, Lori itiohard, it you could
practice il,nounted akirmishing it woull he very de-
sirable ; I "ball strongly recommend in my report that
It should be paid greet attention to. The men are no
longer what they used to be—a mere pageant, and their
drill • pestle& but part and parcel of the defences of
the country. They will be looked upon in the same
way as the regulars; in feet they will be regulars.
What is wanted is that you should all be united in one
body. The spirit which animates the Yeomanry has
been very well shown in the practice of your regiment.
A number of recruits have joined you sines last year,
and they have only to be instructed to prove what they
are. The Yeomanry will now have to take pert in the
tad defence of the country, I shall have very great
pleasure, Lord Rieherd, in making a very high report
of the regiment. It may not be my husk to see you
here again, but I hope I may do so. I have always
the greatest pleasure in coming into this part of the
world.
'The regiment then re-formed in marching order and

us that the Celestials are planting whole groves of

held in the nave of 'it ertminster Abbey. This society,
whioh was founded In 1818, he. daring its existence
aided and encouraged the work of church extension in
more than 5000 perishes in Ragland and Wales. Its
funds, however, are sow in so low a state that they
are totally inadequate to the demands made upon
them. A specie' feature in this exoellent society is.
that by its very soestitation it is bound to pay regard
to the rights and interests of the poorer slums, no

it in which at least coos half of the accommodation or

The attendance at divine services, which commenced at
three in the afternoon, was extraordinarily numerous.
The sermon was preached by the Very Rev. Dean
Stanley, who took for his text the 13th chapter of the
Gospel of St: Mark, verse 1, "And as he went
out of the Temple one of disciples said unto him,
Muter, see what manner of stones and what build-
ings are here." After describing the beauties of the
Temple which our Lord was leaving for the last time,
the preacher esked—How is that Jesus had announced
that not one stone of till great building should be
left upon another, after what Paul had preached, and
Stephen, the first martyr, had taught, that God
dwelleth not in temples made with hands—for is not
Heaven His footstool? that nob stately cathedrals

telling again those things which our Lord destroyed, is
the question which =vests Reel( to our minds on this
°session? Be thought so, for, so many the more
churches and chas there are, so much the wider
the deviation from the Jewish religion. At Jeru-
salem the tribes same up thrice a year to worship, but
Wee buildings taught as that God °mild be wor-

burst asunder the hoods of Juidem, cud ell these
buildings teach us that the Gospel is to be preached to
every nation and peopier,intesPeetive of wealth or station.
In the epistles we were taught that the church meant
duly one thing, not the building, not the clergy, but
the whole of the members of the body. For 300 years
the early church met in an upper room, knelt upon
the lei shore, or worshipped God in dens and caves of
the earth, but when buildings did arise they were not
built after the shape of the temple, but after the Roman
smarts of justioe. The judge's seat became the eta" of
the bishop, or teacher, and the table before him became
the communion table; and their appearanoe and size
showed at once the difference between their meaning
and that of the Temple at Jerusalem, which localised
the presence of God, but so far as the presence of Jesus
'mild be localised, it was not on the altar, nor in the
priest alone, but in the hearts of the isongregation.
