(Laughter and
cheers.) There was the name of a gentleman whom he might mention. That
gentleman had earned the gratitude of the Borth people perhaps more than
anyone else. He referred to Dr. Childs. (Applause.) He had acted the
part of the Good Samaritan thoroughly, responding as readily to the call
of the sick and suffering at midnight as at noon. (Cheers.) He would
detain them no longer, but ask Mr. Lewis to submit a proposition to the
meeting.
Mr. LEWIS, Post Office, said he had very great pleasure in reading the
resolution, because he knew it would be heartily responded to by everyone
present. It was as follows:--"We, the inhabitants of Borth, beg to
tender our most sincere thanks to Dr. Thring, and all the masters and
scholars of the celebrated Uppingham School, for the very many generous
acts and kindly feelings exhibited towards us during their sojourn here."
Mr. Lewis followed by commenting upon the excellent discipline which
evidently ruled the school, judging from their exemplary conduct out of
school. He was not aware of any shabby, mean, or ungenerous act
committed by the young gentlemen during the whole twelve months they had
been at Borth.
