Mr. Mitchell of Bond Street, an entrepreneur who leads rather

than follows the taste of the public, sends us a charming portrait of the young gentleman to whom Punch this week points as an example for vo- lunteering in the Navy. Prince Alfred stands on a bit of sea-shore, exactly like a " dip " below the rocks at Rottingdean, in midshipman's severe " tenue du bord," in the background is the curling water dash- ing against the grim cliffs which fortify our southern coasts almost as surely as our Channel fleet. Mr. Lake Price photographed this pleasing picture in the first instance, and his work is well copied in lithography by Mr. Lynch.
