being especially invited. there WAS a large attendance
of the fait sex.

hal there a gentleman c entracte 1 with the Parent

reasons why they should support this society, The
Mayor then referred to a lady Who had sent him •
c ,py of the Animal World, in which was an article
descriptive of the growth, and program of the society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. His

that night—lt we. to see if they amid not form • local
society here, ad well as elsewhere, to prevent cruelty
to animals. (Applause.)

but were not able to attend. He read one from tbe
Rev. J. Addison, regretting hia inability to attend.

which she said she was very glad to hear of the pro-
potal formation of • branch of thi. society in Wey-
mouth, and would be very happy to become •
subecriber. Mr. Thomas went on to express his
pleasure at being connected with such an object as
the formation of a branch of this society in Weymouth,

brought into operation. Re mentioned that it had
been suggested they should establih • county society;

an officer atatiousi in the ueighbourbood, whose duty
would be to inspect slaughterhouses and all places
where animals were kept for hire; then if he saw an
animal unfit he would say that that animal must have

the master carried this out. He (the speaker) thought
If this were done they would not Lew so touch id

Mr. ANDRIWIS, the manager of the Parent Society,
said it was • great pleasure to the society in Lou lon
to be invited to come down here and give them some
assistanoe in the formation of • branch. Before
touching upon that matter he must say they (the
society) were very much indented to their worthy
Superintendent of Police. Mr. Vickery, for the lively
Interest he had taken In their work in past years. This
society had been known to Weymouth people for
mazy years past, because Mr. Superintendent Vickery
hail always written to them in London when any groom
case of cruelty came under his notice, and help had
been given tam. Now it was proposed to form •
branch of the society here, and he would tell the
people of Weymouth there were difficulties in doing
this. The formation of • branch neomearily entailed •
very considerable expense. They got some money
from their branches, but it often fell very far short of
the money required to carry on thee ciety's work. Foe
instance, last year, owing to the deficiencies from
branches, they had to draw from their metes fund
ho lime than £2.000 to meet their expenses. Of course
it would never do to go on like that. They would
therefore understand that when they formed • breach
they wanted them to undertake ti provide a certain
amount of money. When a branch was formed on
inspector in sent down, and they had to pay his wage.,
all expenase, legal ex ernes, aid court fees, and to
carry this one properly it required between two and
three bun ir al 1, muds a year. When they affiliated
• branch they woeld expect them to collect • certain
am oin., 1:150 beinz the mininvim. They made officers
•ccumulate no .10h1... They did not c 'me to take
~,„ey °tit tho t,vyn, but took their money and
spent it in their disltlet. PO that therefore was •
round for asking their support. The money they
rulacriled to foreign meieties welt out of the town,
hit the mocey they subecribed to this object
a,gm.oit"l Ii obscriptM. a from the Point Society,
wool I be 'went in the town, therefore thy exprcted
insidershle help from the towaspeepl.. When a
branch was started the society place I an officer in the
d otrict, alai he had to writ' to th in every day and
ecoiu dot C.letO of everything he sees, of eiery cssu
cruelty th it came use for his notice. If he saw a case
of cruelty on the Sands he would write to them, and
they at the office would consider whether the case
warranted preecution. or whether an admonition
would meet the case. They always tried to do the
latter, bsc 'use they di.l no: want to be known IN a
prosecuting society —(applanse)—but rather as an
admoniebing society, although in many case. to put a
stop to cruelty they were bound to prosecute. Now
many perm .ns would say whit neveasity was there for
• branch of this society at all; was it not the duty of
I the police to I iok after this matter arid prevent cruelty?
, Of c .uree it was ea far as it lay in their power, but he
would mere them they 'either hal the time nor the
money tc..'l, st.ie cfEciently, and that it required an
Independent eiety Garry ii, out properly, AA IO
the wc .sity iiuch a society in a county like this,
the speaker went on to describe the many cross cues
of cruelty which occurred at their markets and fairs,
and the many instanceo of starvation "if at .ck in small
country lilac., in the winter tins's, when foil is imam&
He thought it would be well if they o.uhl make this a
county branch: in Weymouth In the summer time
they had cruelty on the sands by driving the donkeys.,
but In the winter there would not be mueli to be done ;
but by dividing the time of the officer b lateen Wey-
mouth and the other t "woe much good could he done.
He thought that if they male it a county voriety they
would be able to keep up two offimrs, and
expenditure would be decreased by not falling upon
one town. Another feature of their work, which it
was very important they ahonld carry old, and that
was the educational training, whirl' aff ir led special
soups fir the Is lies. Thy held that their work should
be began in the nursery and the ec ii., thst, if
they educate I the young in the principles of Ii ohms.,
they would have lees cruelty to deplore. le the

than 100 or 700 prizes mortally. gen' school, had

He mentioned that the society had publ i..hed a pamphlet
as to killing crabs and lobsters, so as to pre-and their
being killed in the cruel way they now were, by boiling
them alive, and it was believed thia woe doing much
send. Spera4ne of the growth of the society, he
observe I that *hes TM started they bad only twelve
officers, now they had 71e or 8Q stationed in different
towns throughout the country, sad he was glad to Mae
to Weymouth to make them in forming yet mother
