WEYMOUTH.

Tat/TM ROTAL.—Tbe veteran comedian Chutes
Mathews paid • flying visit to Weymouth, and
performed at the Theatre on Monday and Tuesday
,v.cup Met ; but we fear the outdoor attractions sadly
marred the attendance on Monday night. On Tuesday
evening there was • much better house. The pieces
were "U llisd £lOOO • year," the comedy of "The
Liar, and "Cool as • Cucumber." It would be almost
impertinent to say anything about Mr. Mathews' acting;
but he appeared to be aa good as ever.
Excenitioe yo Toaquar.—The Aquila, one of the
fine boats of the Weymouth and Channel Islands Steam
Packet Company, made a delightful ezeursion to
Torqnay on Coronation Day. The weather was all thst
could be dewed, and about 300, from all parte of the
county, availed themselves of the treat. The lovely
scenery of the mast find coati ibuted to the pleasure of
the 000ssion which was much enhanced by the attention
a the offles;s to the comfort of all. The Aquila had •
very streog flood tide against her; but she arrived at
Torquay between two and three, having skirted the
erica .11th. way, affording beautiful views of Sidolouth,
Exmouth, Teignmouth, and the other towns on the
route. At Torquay some of the paseengen visited the
Volunteers' Fete, and other. roomed about enjoying the
beauties of this queen of South Devon, The Aquila left
Torquay • little after six, and arrived at Weymouth
about 10 minutes to 11, every one delighted with this
best of the Coromaion Inty excursions.
TllOll.llllCe kits,-00 Monday tho 28Ib instant,
the members and friends of the Weymouth Total
Abstinence Soviet, held their eighth anneal fate at
Melberg l'ark (by the kind permission of Lord Ilebeitar).
A goodly camber of friends from Portion I arrived by
the 8.40 ern. train at Wey mouth with the Artillery Brass
band, and being met by a few member, of the moiety they
proceeded '4 the station, where • special train had
been provided to convey the party to Evershot station.
The train wan made by of 12 Groat Western coaches, •
portion of which was for the London excursion. Two
powerful engines were attsched, and at half-put nine
the train was started; bet the party on reselling the
tunnel about four miles from Weymouth found there
was not sullteient power to take them through, and
having passed about hallway the train name to •
stand, and in this place a portion waa detained for
nearly 30 minutes, the first four coaches being taken on
to Doraboiter and the engine returning to take on the
remaining portion. The time taken after leaving Wry.
mouth to get to Dorchester was about one hour, rather
elow work for steam I About 11.45 the party (upwards
of 500 in number) re "abed Melbury Park, and very 9000
great demand was made for refrchments of different
kinds and quietly supplied by the entire members of
the committee. At two o'clock the Secretary, Mr. S.
Hobbs, and the greeter portion of the society's officers,
marched with the band to view the house and gardens.
Ilaviee marched lathe front of the house, the trees, plants
and flowers were greatly admired, and two hours were
pleasantly spent. The kitcheo gardens were not thrown
open; we hear, in consequence of some previous party of
viaitore uot behaving so honestly as they should have
done. At four o'clock tea was provided, after which
every oue seemed to greatly enjoy themselves., the

played some liv.ly music, calling forth • number to the
diaaa, whieh was kept up with good epic'. At an
interval sonic temperance, melodies were sung and abort
addramea delivered by the Hey. S. Cowling, Baptist
Letter from tkarberoogh, Rev. J. S. Waite, from
Weymouth. aud Mr. J. Onalebild, from Oxford. At
beg.pest eight the party broke up. At hall-past ten
o'clock all were landed safely at Weymouth. Every
one seemed to understand real enjoyment and frilly
realise it during the day. This was the society's eighth
annual excursion and it ha. on every omaiden been •
fine day and every thing has paysed off in • satideetory
meaner. The society, baring good carers and sobs,
men, fled they eon work well together, and we wish
them every sitcom.
