CHARGE OF THE SIX HUNDRED" VETERAN.
Engand's future King and Queen are to stay
next week with Lord Tredegar at Tredegar Park
in MOnmouthshire grand old place which has
been in the family of the Morgans since the days
of Lleweyn APP Ivor Rhys OF South Wales the
authentic founder OF the house, though stin more
remote ancestor Is claimed to have been Caracta-
the valiant chief OF the Slures tribe Britons
who carried off captive to Rome in the reign
of Emperor Claudius. Lord Tredegar, In spite OF
the announcement Of some of the English papers
that he would be assisted in welcoming his royal
guests by Lady Tredegar. is unmarried. He is
veteran Of the Cr!mean War. and of the rare
survivors of that magnificent Charge Of the Six
Hundred" at Balaklava which constitutes the
theme of the finest and most stirring poem Of
Tennyson. Lord Tredegar, who was one OF the
officers Of the famous Death Glory 18th Ian
GERS had his horse shot under him in the charge,
and only reached the British lines by jumping on a
gun carriage, after having escaped from the scene
of carnage which Tennyson so justly described as
the jaws of death and the mouth of hell"
1t is singular fate that he should have forty
years later lost the sight Of of his eyes through
the careessness of a guest whom he had invited to
shoot with him his preserves.
Lord Tredegar is very rich and derives the prin-
cipal portion of his revenues from single mile Of
railroad. which through Tredegar Park, and
which is known 1.-The golden mile When the
railroad in that portion of the country was being
built TO Newport 1t was found necessary, in order
to avoid an enormous circuit, and great engineer
ing difficulties entailing immense and immediate
expense, to pass through Lord Tredegar's park.
To this the late lord agreed, the condition that
he and his heirs should receive forever certain
royalty ton of goods carried that por-
ton Of the road. In those days Newport far
from being the important seaport that II is to-day
and the terms were readily accepted. But since
then the trade OF Newport has become extensive
and the annual income which the Lords of Trede-
derive from the royalty of the golden mile
can only be described as prncely.

Of the military service leaving for England
for a years course of study after which they will
put in six months with the British army in India
before returning TO Japan. In view of the recent
prowesses Of the japanese troops in Manchuria
