He did exactly what of instances to track down the mur I do when I find myself in rather derers, writes a correspondent of a tight corner-he flew to my the Daily Express, private secretary for help. But I got in first. (Laughter.)
In the course of my researches in the last few days," the Prince continued, "I started to jot down some of the things for which your great county is famous. But I he gan by putting the word sauce right out of my mind. (Laughter.) I was determined that whatever else I did Or did not do I was not going to make a single joke about Worcestershire Sauce (Laughter.) In the same kind of way I de cided not to any very much about Four good River Severn, because it seems to me that ita main function is to keep your county almost in a stats of permanent inundacion. (Laughter.)"
Further Researches, And then in my researches I remembered having seen a recent reference in the newspapers to a Worcestershire farmer who was re- ported to have found grass growing on the back of some of his sheep, (Loud laughter.) I was compelled to put that on one side, rather re- luctantly, because I thought that would be a marvellous new thenie for after-dinner speeches. (Laugh- ter.) But I felt before it was put on the market that it would need a little more investigation, although it obviously points to a corollary that Worcestershire farmers do not let the grass grow under their feet (Laughter.)
"My list of a few days back of the noted products of your county was not progressing very favourably, until suddenly inspira- tion came to me, and I noted down quickly china, cider, cricket, and Lord Coventry-cheers) who was playing a prominent part in your county before most of us were born. Now the realisation that all of these items began with O and- denly reminded me that, of course, I should have started one letter carlier in the alphabet, and I should have hended my list with another product of Worcestershire for which we all have such" affec tionate admiration-my host, Mr. Baldwin." (Cheers.)
Sir James Barrie.. The toast of The Visitors" was proposed in the Worcestershire dialect by Earl Beauchamp, who called upon Sir James Barris to respond in the following terms:
