Queen Victoria on the occasion Of the
incident.
Her majesty sat at dinner, with the
archbishop of Canterbury. the gruf
and grumpy DR.. Temple. on one side
and on the other side DR.. Randall Da-
wilson. who was then bishop of Win
chester. Her majesty turned toward a
certain colonial bishop who was seated
next to the archbishop of Canterbury
and said. "You, know, DR.. So-and-so, !
can well remember you preaching at
Balmoral twenty-five years ago."
The bishop OF Winchester then said,

persistent cough that so often follows
