story of u Royal visit.

: Among old records of royal visits
to the Emerald Island there is a
curious story of that paid in 1870
by the then duke Of Clarence, who
became afterward William w., to the
neighborhood of Cork. He was at
that time sub-lieutenant in the
navy, and the ship on which he
served touched at Queenstown, then
known as Cove. While there his
royal highness stayed for some days
with family named Penrose, the
head of which was an esteemed gen
tleman and Quaker. He did his best
to entertain the duke in manner
BETTING his rank and station, and
among other assiduities the old
Quaker always sat up to receive him
on his return home from the con-
vivial parties which the neighbour
hood 'squires were only too glad to
offer him. The duke of Clarence, as
was the fashion at that time, had a
liking for old port, and was not
squeamish at the quantity consumed
AS result he several times returned
to his hosts house in state which
bordered on citation. 1t is recorded
that his host used the gentlest re,
proof toward him in these words:
Friend William, thou art late again
tonight, and fear me thou art not
too sober. If thou dost not amend

even had this not been the case, the
popularity of his better half would

only mildly insistent that others
should do likewise. She declined all
overtures leading to condolences of
her past, and demanded recognition

All the same it came something
like shock to society at Frayne
