DROWNING SUNDAY SCHOOLS' TRIAT.—The four

lag; if not entirely spoiling the treat. This little oaes
were mger for the assembly, but were compelled to wait
till the middle of the afternoon. They gathered each
at their several chapels, sod then assembled in St.
Esinnand-street. the rear of mob brought by vans con-
taining the youngest scholars. They then marched in
prosmalon, beaded by the town band, in the following
ordor—Olottosster-street school, Primitive Methodist
school, Hope Independent school, and Baptist (Bank
Balding.) school. Some of the schools were amem•
pealed by their pastors, and a large number of Umbers
were there. There were plenty of flogs, and the pro-
modon looked very gay as it went up St. Mazy-street, 1
round the Statue, down Bt. Thomas-street, and over
the Bridge, and North Quay, and Boot-lane to Bolfield
Park. The head of the preosodon was up Boot-lane,
before the roar had cleared the Bridge, and there were
probably 800 therein. The park had been hired at con-
siderable expense, and swings, a railway, and other
apparatus for games sot up: and good use the scholars
made of them. II wale most cheerful scene; but by
and by all gathered into their corners, and aftcr singing
grass, had a feast of sweet things, with coffee. Then
fan and trait were tho order of the coming, and all
were getting into fail swing, when down came the
dreaded rain. They bore it some time,but it increased to
drenching showers, and then were all obliged to go home
right through it. We hope that next year an early
date and an early hour will be decided on and adhered
to, and then there will be more chance of the 'United"
arrangements giving satisfaction. The 10th was an
expellent day, and even the 17th might have done if
we had begun an hoer earlier than usual instead of
putting It off till throe.
