directly after the funds had been divided amongst the
201 members comprising the society. This club,
formed (our years ago as a yearly society, was the
first of the kind form, d in Illandford, anal so successful
has it been that others in the towu and neighbourhood
have considered it necessary to start fresh societies
on the same principle. This anniveniary was
rendered doubly attractive by the fact of a gratifying
testimonial being presented to the treasurer and
founder of the society, Mr. W. If. Cramp. The ball
was nicely decorate.' with evergreens, festoons oil
paintings, and mottoes suitable for the arson, whilst
over the chairman, flanked by tiage .1 different

old St. Mary's Friendly Society, and Sir William had
promised the use of the banner aan any future occasion.
(Cheers.) Still, the secretary thought they might
easily purchase one of their own, and presumed if •
similar number joined this year a small sum each
would purchase one. He hoped in future at Hospital
Sunday services all members would attend, as its
advantages were manifestly great to members of
societies joining. fiur by simply applying to the
secretary any member could get admission to either

getting subscribers to nominate them. Mr. Rose
concluded by giving information to persons desirous
of joining next Tuesday evening, and wishing con-
tinue I prosperity to the club (Applause.)

Mr. CRAMP, in responding. said he was extremely
obliged to the member, for the kindnesd shown him

of Blandford would be always as well received a. it
had been that evening He wi.he I the Corporation
embraced the whole town, and then there would be
greater choice to find men willing to act on it, and it
would be a greater honour for those elected. Every
member of the Corporation. he believed, did his duty
to the town, but at present the Local Board Was of
more consequence than the Council. He hoped the
borough would be extended. (Cheers /
