people, etod in frost of the R ,yal Hotsl.
Colonel Hamm), at the el se of thie int quiet-
ing o-rem my, psi I bef ,re they broke up be
should like to maks a few remade., sol express to
them the pleasure be had exoeri,,noel4luring the peat
week. He wool.' only say toot he wi.hed himself
they were asaambliag at the beginnin; of their week's
training instead of Wag at the sod. (Rear, bear.)
He hoped, if it was the wish of the regiment, next
year they would onne t Weymouth for 10 days
indeed of eight, by substituting two days more
permanent duty in the place of two of the troop drills.
(Applause.) Be &leo hoped next year they wool i be
able to give them nine days' pay instead of eight,
(Cheers.) Arrangements had been made V/ give them
the extra day's Pay this year, but they were not able
to do it. The Government found they were ebort of
money sod couldn't do It (Laughter.) Ho hoped
next year they would rive nine days' pay to every
man coming in se than 30 miles. Up to the present
year the Government bed paid the extra day's pay t
every man who lived 90 miles from headquarter., but
the Government had now increased it to 30 miles. He
had great pleasure In am:mum:ins that he bad been
requested by Colonel Mummies t, make known to
all ranks of the regiment bow much *seed he was
with the inapeatice on Friday morning.
The following was a brief outline of the remarks
model* the ofßoors by Colonel Hussein :—" Colonel
Hambro and officers of the Dorset Yertmaary,—l
much regret that during the laat three or four years I
here been limper:tor of A.nxiliary Cavalry, and have
eat been able to attend pars:malty at your sunual
permaaent duty, owing to my Insist had to Inspect
other regiments at the same time. I had, however,
heard vary favourable report' of I'm regiment during
that period, and I can only soy that I am fairly
astonished at the program it he. made unto, I last
sew It on parade, aad that it reflects great credit
upon your commanding °Hoer sad upon your late
Ad)utant, Ciptain Vesey, who, I have alwsys heard,
spared no stea to improve the ollicieney of the
regiment. Isball melte a pole' of writing to Captain
Veen myself to onegratulat• him UPOII the success
of his effort& Your sew Adjutant, Captain Rough,
to • certain extent Is strange to the °liners and to
the men, but I have every mama to believe from
what I keow of Ida that he will maintain the
regiment In the same high state of *Sulam, as be
found It. With regard to the inspeoti In, I bare not
yeti MO the seemed exercise performs i, but I have
little doubt It will be executed quite as well ae the
rest of what I have already seen. The eqoadrota
movement, bare been well done an I were good. The
only fault I could find was the pace of the leading
squadron in trotting pest to squadrons was slower ;
than the regulation poor, which caused the squadrons
In the rear to be obliged to amok. I have seen every
regiment of Yeomanry, 19 In number, in the dietaict
wider my oommend, and eau oertainly say there is
not one among them which can oompare favourably
with the Dorset as regards either the quality of their
borese or the goiters(' turn-out of the men. In oon•
elusion, gentlemen, I shall have much pleasure in
making a molt favourable reEst of the regiment to
the commander-loroitler He (Colonel Heinbro)
could not help !Milo( very fretted at bearing such •
report. He himself meanie • peat improvement in
