Reception of Sir Henry Brougham Loch, the new Governor, at Cradock, Cape Colony, 1890. Europeans in South Africa. 'The reception of the new Governor, Sir Henry Brougham Loch, at Cradock, in his recent tour through the eastern provinces, was very cordial. Our correspondent sends a Sketch of the scene in the market square, a large open space in the centre of the town. One feature of this assembly was the presence of so many armed and mounted burghers, mostly young Dutch farmers, numbering about eight hundred, some of whom had travelled fifty or seventy miles in order to show their loyalty and devotion to the Government. To the right of the view are the public offices, and there is a very handsome townhall, hidden from view behind the grove of blue-gum trees. Cradock, a town of about 2800 inhabitants, but the centre of a district with a population of 12,000, is situated on the Great Fish River, on the road from Port Elizabeth to Kimberley'. Sign reads: "Welcome Queen's Representative". From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
