, races came nil on M lay and Tuesday, and the
weather not ls.ing unfavourable there was a large
needier of spectators, including many la,iiea. Messrs.
Voules, Oldham, and !layman excelled in running,
! and Mr. Taiiquera. in jumping, u hick was very
superior to that of last half-year. Mr. llohinson was
unfortunately precluded from distinguishing himself
by an unlucky strain in the first hurdle race.
W Yi.re..--1 in Thursday this little village was
aroused from its usual quietude by the opening of the
neat little chapel which has Just been erected.
, There has long been a congregation Of Independents
in Wylye, but some time ago their chapel (a lease-
hold) was jeopardized, by twing Rohl ; a generous
friend, however, came forward and purchased it,
and subsequently obtained a piece of freehold land,
: and erected thereon, at his own cost, the twat villahe
chattel and school nlOlll which now stands at the
I corner of the man. street f the station. The
Rev. Mr. Nlorrismi, Ili-milord, preached in the
afternoon, and the Hey. Mr. ilrindley, of Bath, in
the evening. Notwithstanding the unfavourable
state of the weather, good congregations attended on
. both occasions, a number of visitors from neighbour.
lug towns also being present. The design of the
cirque! is in the early English style, by Mr. Stunt, of
' Warminster.
