the proccedings by his presence. The inhabitants erected' a
handsome triumphal arch at the entrance to the village,
composed of laurel flowers, and decorated by flags, amongst
which was the banner of the Prince, under which was the
word "Welcome," in large characters. His Royal

Bruce, Major Teesdale, and the Rev. William Tarver
arrived a few minutes after one o'clock. On reaching that

ground) a large body of the boys awaited the royal carriage.

few moments the horses were removed from the carriage, and
his Royal Higriness and party were drawn by the boys to
the school at the summit of the hill, a distance of more than
half a mile. The Prince appeared to enjoy heartily his re-
ception. The Rev. Dr. Vaughan, the Head Master, received
