The Archbishop of Canterbury (Dr. Tait) moved the next resolution, as to
the placing of the recumbent statue in the Abbey, and also completing
the windows in the Chapter-house, in accordance with plans proposed and
partly executed by the Dean. After speeches by the Marquis of Salisbury,
Mr. S. Morley. M.P., the Marquis of Lorne, and Lord Chief Justice
Coleridge, Mr. Gardiner, representing the Working Men's Club and
Institute Union, spoke of the constant efforts of the late Dean to help
and elevate the classes who lived by manual labour. He was President of
their Union, and he was honoured by the working men of Westminster and
London.
RIFLE VOLUNTEERS.
_March 1st, 1882._
The 21st anniversary dinner of the Civil Service Volunteers, on the 1st
of March, 1882, at Willis's Rooms, was presided over by the Prince of
Wales, honorary Colonel of the Corps. In replying to the toast of his
health, proposed by the Duke of Manchester, the Prince said:--
"My Lords and Gentlemen and Brother Volunteers,--For the kind
manner in which the Duke of Manchester has proposed this toast,
and for the cordial welcome given to it by you, gentlemen and
brother Volunteers, allow me to return you my most sincere
thanks. I can assure you that it affords me great satisfaction
to preside here to-night on what I may call the twenty-second
anniversary of the existence of this regiment. The twenty-first
anniversary of the Rifle Volunteers was celebrated last year,
and it will, I am sure, not be forgotten through the length and
breadth of the land that the Queen reviewed the English
Volunteers in Windsor Park in the summer, and the Scotch
Volunteers afterwards at Edinburgh.
