glimpse of their royal highnesses. The principal

and Princess entered an open carriage, followed 11
the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, a tremendous
burst of cheering broke forth. The carriage was
driven at a moderate pace, escorted by the New-
castle and Pottery troop of the Shropshire Yeo-

to the
d
railway station, where every spot of vantage ground
outside the station yard was occupied by thousands
of persons. In the station yard the 10th Staffordshire
or Stoke-upon-Trent Volunteer Corps, under the
command of Adjutant Buchanan, Lieut. Minton, end
Ensign Keary, formed the guard of honour. 'Jere
the cheering on the arrival of their royal highnesses
was something tremendous, and the Prince and
Princess appeared much gratified at the enthusiasini
displayed. The special train left Trentham at about
j.
10 minutes or a quarter past 11 amidst the shouts
of the populace, the volunteer band playing "God
bless the Prince of 'Wales." His Grace the pal`"
of Sutherland accompanied the train to Stafford,
where a complete ovation was given to their royal
highnesses. From Stafford the train pursued its way
to Blisworth Junction, and thence to Wolferteuf
the nearest point to Sandringham. At Colwich

l

park was the Countess of Lichfield and the junior
branches of the family.
