(_From_ "_The Cambrian News_.")

On Tuesday evening, April 10, the inhabitants of Borth, almost to a man,
turned out to take part in a farewell demonstration to the masters and
scholars of Uppingham School, after their twelve months' residence in
Wales. Shortly after seven o'clock a procession of the inhabitants was
formed, and, headed by a flag-bearer, made its way to the square in front
of the Cambrian Hotel, where several songs were sung by the assembly
under the schoolmaster's (Mr. Jones's) direction; and at the conclusion a
hearty round of cheers was given for the Uppingham School, who
immediately responded by making the place ring again with three
enthusiastic cheers for Borth. The assembly then adjourned to the wooden
building in the hotel-yard, when Mr. Jones, Brynowen, was voted to the
chair on the proposition of Mr. Lewis, Post Office, seconded by Mr.
Jones, Neptune Baths.

The CHAIRMAN said, as the meeting was aware, the object of the
demonstration--and he was exceedingly glad to see such a popular
demonstration--was, that the Borth people might have a chance of giving
public expression to the kind feeling of respect they entertained for Mr.
Thring, the masters, and scholars of Uppingham School before they left
Borth, after a twelve months' sojourn there. (Cheers.) When some twelve
months ago a rumour came to Borth respecting the advent of Uppingham
School, a few old women and nervous people, in the innocence of their
hearts, were afraid they would be swamped by an inundation of Goths and
Vandals. (Laughter.) The meeting would, however, agree with him that
kinder-hearted gentlemen than the masters, and better-behaved boys than
the scholars, could not be found. (Hear, hear.) There had been no town-
and-gown feeling existing similar to what prevailed in places of greater
