WI heed hardly say that the wirole of the pieces
were very nicely sung, Blandford churoh choir
always maintaining its prestige.
In the Townhall, a further treat awaited the
company—Lord S. G. Osborne, Mr. Groves, and
other gentlemen having prepared a large collection of
niiscroscopes, stereoscopes, and other scientific
apparatus.
.Previous to the Townhall being opened to the
public for inspection of the marvellous results in
nature which the scientific apparatus disclosed,
Lord Sidney G. OSBORNE proceeded to the Corn
Exchange, and addressed the company. He said
that by the request of the committee be had agreed
to speak a few words on that occasion. He was
quite confident, however, that there needed no re-
marks from him to assure Mr. Quirk that his efforts
had succeeded, for by the happy countenances around
him he felt certain that all were highly gratified
with the results. The object in view, by the form-
ation of an Industrial Exhibition, was of course to
employ the leisure hours not only in a harmless
manner, but in one calculated to improve. That
was the main object, and whilst congratulating the
promoter of the exhibition, he desired to acknow-
ledge the services of all those who contributed, for
the kind way in which they had lent themselves
to the work. Whilet he had himself advocated
clubs, he thought that such exhibitions as the present
were most desirable, inasmuch as their tendency
was to make home happy, and this, the two, he
considered of the far highest importance. lie
trusted that the present would be the first of many
such exhibitions, which tended to develops that
skill which might otherwise lay dormant, and he
also hoped that its promoters would advance, not
only in skilful knowledge and the cultivation of
industrial habits, but also that by such their happi-
ness would increase. Referring to the exhibition of
wild flowers, his lordship expressed his unbounded
satisfaction that so many young people had employed
themselves in collecting them, and commended the
good taste displayed in their arrangement.
His Lordship concluded his remarks by urging
upon all present to help on the purposes for
which the exhibition was established, which
was, first, to conduce to the happiness of their
own homes, and ultimately to the happiness of their
neighbours. The remarks of his lordship were most
heartily applauded.
