Show Greeting the rrtnoe. . A good story is recorded in connection connec-tion with the Prince of Wales visit to Lord Brooko's country seat in Essex. After opening the Essex Agricultural show at Chelmsford the prince and several sev-eral other distinguished guests, including includ-ing Lady Randolph Churchill, Baron Hirttch, Col. Stanley Clark and Mr. Chaplin, Chap-lin, M. P., wpre entertained at Easton lodgo. On the following day the party drove to Lord Bray brook's seat at And-ley And-ley End. Horses were changed en rout at the rural village, Wimbish. While this was being done an elderly laborer j approaehed the royal party, and addressing address-ing the prince said: "Beg yer paiding, sir, I should loike to drink yer health; we doan't see yer ev'ry day." Laughing heartily his royal highness drew half a crown out of his pocket and handed it to the man, with the injunction: in-junction: "Don't spend it all at once." Putting the coin in his fob the old fellow, fel-low, with another tug at his forelock, replied: "Thank yer, thank yer, guvner; yer the best gen'lemon I know on round about this 'ere levee."
