T h e CHNRSIAS :-My lords, ladies, and gcntlcnwn, It is hardly necessary for m e to say much in the way of introduction of one who bears such an historic name as Lord Raglan.There niust bc many in this room who will remembcr.thecircunistancrs of the Crimean war, how the First Lord Raglan, the friend of \\'ellington, having learnt the art o f , war in the Peninsola and a t W'itcrloo, was entrusted; though somewhat advanced in y&rs>dth th5 cbnitnarid of the British Army that went to the East : how he succeeded in bringing honour to the British arms in the victories of Alma, of Inkerninn, and of Sjalaclava ; and how, later on, though oppressed by thc want of orginisation in' the British Army and the unpreparedness of our country for war, he continued to struggle against difficulties, until at last he laid down his life on the altar of duty within sight of tlipse ever: memorable trenches around Sebastopol.Lndies and gentlemen, it is the grandson of that great nian who has been kind enough to come here and address us to-day on the very important subject of the Militia.He, also, IS a soldier of varied experience.H e has served in the Grenadier Guards, has &en active service against the Afghans in the north of India, and he is now second in command of what I know to be one of the smartest and most efficient Militia regiments in H e r Majesty's Service.
