The other day I was doing a little bit of horse-cropping—I'm fond of that sort of thing—and went into an Irish dealer's yard, where I saw a horse which grunted very much. Looking at the dealer, I said, "The horse is a roarer," and the Irishman replied: "Ah, no, me lord, not a bit of it. I've 'ad 'im from two years Tredegar Show, "'E's 'ad the hiccups ever since!" I do not think there is a man in England who has more at heart than myself the religious education of children. In 1839 the Chartist Riots took place at Newport. In the following year National Schools were opened, and I believe that had the men who took part in these riots received the education imparted at the National Schools they would never have decided upon such a misguided course of action.

Tredegar Show, I really think I must be out of place here. You know I am one of the hereditary nonentities. I cannot help the hereditary part of the business, and I have tried all my life to avoid the other. South Monmouthshire Conservative Association, You ought, of course, to learn something about ancient art, or you will be like a certain Lord Mayor of whom I have heard.

I have mallets and trowels Foundation Stone Laying, St. John's Church, Cardiff, "I believe I have laid more foundation stones than any other man in England." We (agriculturists) are looked upon as a long-suffering and patient race, and some of the manufacturing class think we are fit subjects for bleeding.
