THE VICEROY OF EGYPT AT WINDSOR,

Yesterday morning, at half-past 8 o'clock, his
Highness the Viceroy of Egypt, accompanied by
Nubar Pasha and Lord Alfred Paget and suite, left
Windsor Castle for a drive in the Royal demense.
The Viceroy, with Nubar Pasha and Lord Alfred
Paget, occupied an open carriage drawn by four
bays, the suite following in a break. Both equipages
were from the Royal MOM, and were placed at his
highness's disposal by her Majesty the Queen.
The cortege was preceded by an outrider in starlet
and gold. His highness and party, who had pre-
viously breakfasted at the Castle, drove through
the "slopes" in the Home park, to the Royal kennels
and dairy at Frogmore, and thence, by way of the
Rhododendron-walk, to the Norfolk Farm and
Virginia Water. The weather was beautifully fine,
and the Viceroy apparently greatly enjoyed the
magnificent scenery of the forest and the different
views of the Castle obtained therefrom. His High-
ness drove back to Windsor by way of the Long-
walk. and passed slowly along through High-street,
the shops and houses in which were very beautifully
decorated with Egyptian and other flags, up the
Castle-hill to the Royal-mews, over which the
Viceroy was shown by Lord Alfred Paget and Mr.
Moon. The inspection over, the Viceroy drove
back to the Castle, where luncheon had been laid
for half-past 11 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.
The Viceroy drove through Eton College to the
Slough station of the Great Western Railway, where
a special train, under the charge of Mr. A. Higgins,
divisional superintendent, was waiting. The Vice-
roy, who was accompanied by Lord A. Paget and
Nubar Pasha, M. Musurits, &c., left Slough at 1.33,
the train arriving at Paddington at 2 o'clock. Pre-
parations for the proper reception of the Viceroy
had been made at that station,
a largo 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 roadway were two of her Majesty's carriages
His Highness on quitting the train was met by Mr.
J. Grierson, general manager, and gr. F. Saunders,
the secretary of the Great Western line. Just
before entering the equipage the Viceroy took leave
of Lord Alfred Paget in a most cordial manner,
and then left the station for Dudley-house.
