Last week, in fulfilment of the programme arranged for the Queen's visit, the Lord lieutenant, escorted by a guard of honour drawn from the 1dst, Royal Dragoons, drove from the Castle to Westland Row in the morning, and took the train to Kingstown, in order to review the ships of the Channel Squadron lying there.  His Excellency was accompanied by nearly every member of the house party.  At the landing-stage he was met by the pinnaces from the fleet, and a salute of twenty-one guns was fired.  When the ships were reached the signal went up to weigh anchor, and the eighty mighty vessels of war steamed off towards the Kish Lightship, just fourteen miles away.  The sea was choppy, and a fresh wind was blowing.  The waves were foam crested- "white flowers in the Fisherman's Garden"- as the old Celtic saying has it.  Nevertheless, his Excellency and party had a delightful sea trip, returning at 4 p.m.   Another Royal salute was given by the fleet as the party journeyed to the harbour in the plunging pinnaces.

Condition is Very Good.
