DISPENSARY AND ROYAL INPIZNARY. We were
informed the week before last that Dr. Griffin had
been appointed assistant-surgeon to the above valuable
inatitntion. It appears that this was inaccurate, and
that Dr. Griffin was unanimously sleeted an additional

the Breakwater Hotel After a '• shake-down," they took a
trip in the steamer round the Bay, and landed at Weymouth
%pun about four. After seeing what was noticeable in the
town, and passing a little time on the Sands, they returned
to the railway station, and left at had-past six.
INTILKISTING I.I(TR/110318U, —The Great Western

, iction for six months for stealing a ring. The case would be
a lemon to tradesmen to be c ututtas sti to whom they should

most artfully.

It appeared
that prisoner's flat sentence would have expired
in January this year ; but being out on a ticket-of-leave, he
had, by not reporting himself to the police, failed to NM the

magistrates had the power When the prisoner MO a thonaigh

ARCHERY AND CROQUET' MEETING.

The annual bow meeting of the Weymouth and Wylie
Regis Archery and Croquet Society, took place at
Belfield Park, on Tuesday afternoon last, when •
number of tasteful and valuable prises were offered for
oompetition, both by members of the club end visitor
The weather was favourable, as no rain fell, although
the sky was shaded by clouds, and the heat bad been
tempered by the previone rain. A very light b
blew across the line of ahootimr, necessitating afterwards
a slight allowance for windage; but this was by no
means uniform. Ten targets were pitched, with a pair
of spare ones for the juvenile eisitors, and these latter
appeared to enjoy the famous old sport almost as much
as their elder brothers and si.tera. A very fair number
assembled at the targets in the morning, and shooting
was commenced at half-pest 11. The ladies in pretty
costumes, did not fail to assume the most maoeful
attitudes, as they drew the feathered shaft to the bead,
and poised themselves, accurately calculating the eleva-
tion and the requisite curve to send the arrow straight
to the mark. In spite of the slight wind to which we
have alluded, the shooting was good, and morning
witnessed • very respectable commencement of the
scores. At two o'clock • very elegant luncheon was
prepared by Mrs. How, and about 60 partook. During
this relegation from the buainess before the targets, the
company Gould not fail to notice how well suited is

its neighbouring hills: The luncheon marquee was
picturesquely placed under the shelter of some trees

also basins the advantage of a little grove, was the
croqust ground, the tarsets being visible away to the
we, h•west. After Mr. How's catering had been enjoyed
and justly approved, shooting was re-commenced, and
was even better than before. The following are the
