CHANn6 RINUING.--.AA some strong remarks (sery
strong) have of late been expressed respecting the art
campanology, we would commend the following to
our many readers, taken from the Pa.i.k .11 :im
for August :—" Change ringing is like many another
art. AA music, painting, sculpture, and architecture.
l'esople who know nothing about them think there ma
1 little in them It is knowledge that brings apprecia-
tion, and we believe that what was heard from the
lArlls on the oconsion .1 this meeting will stimulate
some four own ringers to be able soon to achieve a
like result. .

NW CI:KAM—The sussaessur to the Bev. C. U.
Paget, late curate at the Minster, is the Rev. S. E.
Nichols, of Holt. This gentleman, Although he has
been living only a few mouths in that !wish, has
become such a favourite as to endear himself in no
small &woe to his parishioners. Surely he will be
well receive I in Wimborue, more especially in =WC
circles, he having a tenor voice of care quality. The
winter evening entertainments will have a rich addi-
tion. ILis rendering of the "Maid of .Ithens“ at a
recent concert won him many laurels.
SUNDAY Scifout 1/triNn.—The annual treat of the
Minster Sunday School took PIACC on Wmlnesday.
Having met early, a start was made about ten o'clock.
This year the treat consisted of a short trip by rail to
Poole, from thence by steamboat to the Sandbank..,
where a plentiful supply of refraihinents was provided
for the wants of all. Strolling on the sands, boating,
and games were freely indulged in until time to

Thring, Farwell, lialigood, Barnes, Low, kc., also
Major-General Lac I. "11, Misses Barrett, Lock, Gash,
kc. The return journey accomplished. the party
arrived home between six and seven o'clock. The day
being exceedingly line, the treat was greatly enjoyed,
aud as no mishap or Accident marred the proceedings,
it was all the mons enjoyable, many of the juveniles
manifesting their approval by hoping a 'kir treat
would be privelisl them next year. The infant classes,
not participating will be entertained at the Vicarage
soA!..! aftern.sin.next week.
