The PRINCE OF WALES was received with much enthusiasm by the people of Penrith yesterday on his arrival from Sandringham to spend a few days with the EARL and COUNTESS of LONSDALE, but as the PRINCE's visit was a private one, there was no sort of public reception. Accompanying the PRINCE was the HON. SEYMOUR FORTESCUE, and the house party includes the DOWAGER COUNTESS of LONSDALE, the EARL OF DUNRAVEN, LADY LILIAN WEMYSS, Viscount and LADY GEORGIANA CURZON, VISCOUNTESS COKE, LORD and LADY ALWYNE COMPTON, LORD HERBERT VAN-TEMPEST, LORD and LADY CHURCHILL, the HON. LANCELOT and MRS. LOWTHER, the HON. HENRY STONOR, MR. JAMES LOWTHER, M.P., and MR. HENRY CHAPLIN, M.P. ______________________________________ The EARL and COUNTESS of Carlisle have a large family party staying with them at Naworth Castle, Cumberland, and the annual tenants' ball took place there last week. ______________________________________ MR.
