THE VICEROY OF EGYPT.

Yesterday morning, at hall-pest eight o'clock,
his Highness the Viceroy of Egypt, accompanied by Nutter
Fiche and Lord Alfred Faget and suite, left the grand
quadrangle of Windsor Cutle for a drive in the royal
demesne of Windsor Forest. The Viceroy, with Huber
Pasha and Lord Alfred Paget, occupied an open carriage
drawn by four bays, the suite following in a shooting
break. Both equipages were from the royal mews, and
were placed at his highness's disposal by the Queen. The
corti-ge was preceded by an outrider in scarlet and gold.
His highness and party, who bad previously breakfasted at
the Castle, drove through the slopes in the Home-
park to the royal kennels and dairy, and thence
by way of the rhododendron drive to the Norfolk
farm and Virginia Water. The weather was beautifully
fine, and the Viceroy apparently greatly enjoyed the
fine scenery of the forest, and the different views of
the Castle. His highness drove back to Windsor by way
of the Long-walk, and passed slowly through High-street,
the shops and houses in which were gaily decorated with
Egyptian and other flags, up the Castle-hill to the Royal-
mews, through which the Viceroy was shown by Lord
Alfred Paget and Mr. Moon. After visiting the mews the
Viceroy drove back to the Castle, where luncheon had
been laid for half-past eleven o'clock. About one o'clock
his highness, after taking leave of the Queen and royal
family, quitted the Castle on his return to London. lie
drove through Eton College, where lie met with a warm
reception from the boys, to the Slough station of ti..
Great Western Railway, where a special train,
under the charge of Mr. Higgins, the divisional
superintendent of the London district, was waiting. The
party left Slough at 1.33, the train arriving at Pad-
dington at two o'clock. Preparations for the proper recep-
tion of the Viceroy had been made at this station, a large
space upon the arrival platform having been carpeted, as
upon the Queen's visits to the metropolis. Round this a
large number of people had assembled, while in the road-
way were two of her Majesty's carriages. His highness,
on quitting the train, was receiv.d by Mr. J. Griernin
and Mr. F. Saunders. Just before entering the equipage.
the Viceroy took leave of Lord Alfred Paget, coraially
shaking hands with his lordship. A few minutes after-
wards his highness left the station for Dudley-house. It
will be seen by reference to the Court Circular that the
Viceroy dined with the Prince of Wales in the evening.

METROPOLITAN DRINKING FOUNTAIN AND CATTLE
TRoUOR ANSOCIATION.—The annual meeting of. this MS-
ciety was held yesterday at Willis's Rooms, Lord Wham-
chile in the chair. Owing to the munificent contribution
of 1,0001., given by an anonymous friend last year. the
society has since the last meeting thrown itself more fully
than ever into the work it was formed to accomplish.
Large troughs for horses, oxen, and sheep, and small ones
for dogs have been erected in districts where they were
most required. The erection and maintenance of drinking
fountains in the metropolitan thoroughfares has been much
increased, but as soon as larger subscriptions come
in more will be added. There are now 110 under the
care of the association, and each of them is
visited, repaired, and cleaned at least twice a week.
The annual subscriptions for the year amounted to 5461.,
and the ordinary donat'uns to 1,2411. Earl Grosvenor has
become the president of the society. The erection of the
large fountain in Hyde-park, the cost of which is defrayed
by the Maharajah of Vizianagram, is being rapidly pro-
ceeded with. Amongst the gentlemen present were Sir
W. Stirling, the Hon. F. Byng, Sir Manockgee Cursetjee,
Mr. S. Gurney, Lc. Dr. Aldis in supporting the
resolution to adopt the report, pointed out how important
it amain a sanitary point of view to have • free and full
supply of water, lie had only a fortnight ago to report to
the vestry with which he was connected • fatal ow of
cholera, and although, from the lateness of the IMMISM,
there was reason to hope that the usual rule of a second
year's visitation being lunch worse than the first would not
be experienced this year, it was of the highest necessity
to take every precaution. The report was unanimously
adopted, speeches and motions in support of the society
were made, and a vote of thanks to the chairman con-
eluded the proceedings.
