Tea VOW/ MMMMM EV•lll4llNT.—Moaday. the
72ad July, is spoken of as the day for going into
camp, and the officers have agreed that three clear
days there will be sufficient. Col. Mauled, the field
offloers, Capt. Coombs, and Quartermaster Bergman,
with Capt. and AJjt. Barrett, are the oommittee for
selecting • site for the camp, and making the news-
eery oommiseariat arrangements. For the past
three years Lulworth Cove has been the wane of the
encampment, and • more delightful and suitable
spot in all respect' cannot possibly be found in the
empty. It is within easy access of the Woo]
station of the Smith-Western Railway, and above
all the Weymouth steamers can disembark the men
and their friends within • few yarris of the tents.
Armin the sea bathing. the splendid ecienery, the
fishing, the camp fire gatherings on the cliffs, and
the daily 'apply of fresh fish, all tend to enhanos
the popularity of West Lulworth as the temporary
hom• of our volunteers for their week under
canvass. Amongst other sites named we have beard
of Badbury Rinse, near Wimborne, bat it is rated
that there is an insufficient supply of water at that
plane, and if so that would be fatgl. We have al..
heard the Hat ground at the back of the island of
Portland, towards Pennsylvania Cootie, name.' as
good spot, and this in some respects rreemliks
Lalworth, although we fear there would he danger
attending the sea bathing st this ;dice. Amain we
have heared of the beautiful park of Baron flan;bm,
at Abbey Milton, and this wools) be an ezoellent
eta if an inland place he selected; the only draw-
back being that it is seven miles from the Bland ford
station and 12 miles from Dmcbestar, the leo
peened railway points. Whatever may be the
locality decided on, we have no doubt that the rile.
men of Dorset will again muster in full faros, and
maintain their old reputation for drill and discipline
under their gallant and respected chief, Colonel

entertained towards Mr. Wood every good feeling '
which it was possible for one man to have towards
another. I have had the pleasure of his acquaintance
for more than twenty tears, and for the last few ;
years% have had considerable intimacy with ion;; I
and, I can truly and my, that it was a privilege
to know such • man as Mr. Wood, for be was
alike estimable in every relation of life, and I am
quite sure that by his death a great and serious loss
ha. been suatained not only by his own circle of I
, acquaintances, but by the neighlenrhood in which be
' lived. Hts charities were very great—in fact, no I
one knew of their extent—(hw, hear). You are
aware that Professor Buckman was to lecture tw-
ilight, and although a t.legraph meneage was mat
to bim it was too late to prevent his coming. How•
ever. he haa consented with the greatest kindlier and
good feeling to postpone his lecture till any evening
the club may appoint. I, therefore, hays only to m&
10n to decide definitely what evening it shall he, and
the proceedings for this occasion will then terminate.
—Mr. R. Doreen said : I would endorse every wrod
that our chairman has said in regard to our late
much respected president and friend. Ti ie true aii
tbe chaitman has stated, not only will Mr. Wond'e
death he • loes to this society and neighbourhood.
but to the County and to evert body who knew him.
I give you (Mr. Denim) credit nodet these unhappy
circumstances for disodying the meeting to•niiht,
and puetproeing the lecture for • month, and I am
quit., sure that It is in accordance with the feelings
of all present, who must deplore eloeedingly the
loss of our mach respected friend. —The deepest
sympathy was impressed towards the afflicted
relatives of the deceased gentleman under their
irreparable loot —The meeting was then adjourned
te the 13th April.
