THE DINNER 



Took place at the Royal Hotel, and was served with much 

 taste and comfort. The Marquis Townshend, the President 

 of the Society for the year, presided, and was supported 

 right and left by the Earl of Albemarle, Lord Sondes, Lord 

 Rainham, M.P. (son of the chairman), Lord Suffield, Lord 

 Stafford, Sir Henry Stracey, the Hon. Major Coke, Mr. 

 Brampton Gurdon, M.P., Mr. W. Bagge (late M.P. for 

 West Norfolk), Lieut.-Col. Fitzroy, the Hon. E. K. Coke, 

 the Hon. Harbord Hatbord, the Rev. P. Gnrdon, Mr. R. 

 Gurdon, Mr. H. B. Caldwell, the Rev. Campbell Wode- 

 house, the Rev. R. Burroughes, Mr. J. Hudson (Castleacre), 

 Mr. J. Overman, and upwards of one hundred and twenty of 

 the principal agriculturists of Norfolk. 



The usual loyal toasts having been disposed of, 



The Chairman gave " The Army and Navy," remarking 

 that it was the 18th of June, the anniversary of a day never to 

 be forgotten by Englishmen. (Loud cheers.) 



The Earl of Albemarle (who took part in the action at 

 Waterloo) responded to the toast at considerable length. His 

 Lordship, in the course of his observations, said there was some- 

 thing in the soil anil the air of Norfolk which produced good far- 

 mers. The farmers of Norfolk had maiutaiued their pre-emi- 

 nence to the present day, and he hoped that by such societies 

 as the present — by the competitive examinations which such 

 societies produce — they would be enabled to hold their own. 

 England was justly proud of Norfolk agriculture. The county 

 produced farmers as it produced the taruip, which was the 

 basis of its agriculture. Norfolk produced good turnips, good 

 partridges, good turkeys — good everything, in fact ; and he 

 remembered that in his younger days it produced also a good 

 breed of trotting horses. Who did not remember the famous 

 trottiug Fireaway ? (Hear, hear ) He was afraid that the 

 breed was now nearly extinct, though he should be personally 

 very happy if it were not. But there was another breed 

 peculiar to the county of Norfolk, in which it preserved the 

 same pre-eminence it had secured in agriculture ; he referred 

 to the fi:<hting breed. (Cheers.) The noble Earl then noticed 

 at length the distinguished military and naval officers which. 

 Norfolk had produced, from the Wodehouse who fought at 

 Agincourt, to the Felloweses, the Hodges, the Charley Wind- 

 hams, the Archdale Wilsons, and the Harry Keppels of the 

 present day. 



Major Coke and Lord Sondes (another Waterloo veteran) 

 also responded to the toast. 



" The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese." 



The Rev. P. Gurdon replied. 



" The Lord Lieutenant of the County." 



The Hon. E. K. Coke, in reply, stated that his brother, 

 the Earl of Leicester, whose health had just been drunk as 

 Lord Lieutenant of (he county, had, like a sensible man, dur- 

 ing the late extremely hot weather packed up his traps and gone 

 as near the North Pole as possible. (Laughter.) After re- 

 marking ironically, amid considerable laughter, on the sudden 

 interest manifested by some gentlemen present in the objects 

 of the society in consequence of the prescLt position of Norfolk 

 politics, the hon. gentleman .'aid he lived iu Derbyshire, where 

 there wai so"rae of the best and most valuable laud in the 

 kingdom. He had i;o hesitation in saying that they had got 

 acres in Derbyshire that were worth any two io Norfolk ; but 

 they were the worst farmers in England. (Laughter.)
