Rowe lodging with her in 1890, when they were get-
ting up a directory, and were canvassing the town.
They afterward, left her and went to the Half Moon.
Last summer prisoner came to her, but the couldn't

At the c inclusion of the dinner, the hihYOR
✓se and proposed the toast of "Their Grauious
queen—long might she reign over them." (Applause.)
The Moan said the next t met he hal to propose
was that of the "Prince and Princess of Wales and
the rest of the Royal Family." In his opinion, and,
he believed, in the opini m of every one in that room,
there wasn't • harder working man for the good of
his race than the P, ince of Wales." (Applause.)
Mr. G Cuing CRICUIAT said the toast he had the
pleasure of proposing was one which, he warn sure,
would meet with • very c r lial reception at their
hand., especially just now, alter the events which had
happenei within the last few days. He then proposed
in felictitons term. "The Army, Navy, end Auxiliary
Forces, coupling with the toast the Demos of Colonel
Stvatheld for the army, Mej ir Hodges and Lieuts.
Dowse and Grove. for the auxiliary Vitae.
Mr. GaMissl reip muted to the theist on behalf of
the navy, sod ',Gored to what they did on Friday
last with Admiral Hewitt.
Colonel SWAYIIIILD said he had left the services
no many yearn be had no right or title to return
thanks for the a: my, but as Mr. Crickmay had
cooled hie name with it, he would MI lesiva: to do
him best. He did not think there was any used of
comment on the army, the heart of all Ragland had
been with them, and they were heathy glad of their
goatees. In conclusion he hoped that aware or later
the army would get their old numbs'. again.
Msjer Howl', on behalf f the A.adliary Foram,
bed very great pleasure in reepondlag to the call aad
returning thaake for the volunteers. They bad sever
yet been tried, hut he was asevieeed they were made
of the same stuff am the army and navy. (Applause.)
Lieutenant Bowels, in re.pouding, said he thought
they could calendula/4 themselves upon the fact that
the weapon with which the forces were armed in Rgypt
was the these wimp di with whiols the volunteers were
armed. lie thought that what they did at Wimbledon
showed that they ha I some experience in shooting.
He hoped they wool.' not think when they were
giving prizes for shooting that they did nothing better
than ' b acing" away at an iron target, but that it
would be of some pre.tical use ia the future. (Ap-
plates )
Lieut. GROW'S said Major Hodges bad spoken as an
old volunteer, but he, without any egotism, thought
there was some young blood In the volunteers which
would rival the old one'. (Laughter.) He hoped
that those gentlemen who had no kindly come forward
and given them prises would now do so with redoubled
vig“ur. (Applause.)
Dr. Came said be bad the honour to propose the
next tout, which was that of "The kils,op and Clergy
of the Diocese, and Mil:deers of other Denocninations."
He dole% know whether their Bishop bad received
an in vitation,to be here to-night, but if he had received
one, he was sure, if It were not for his failing heeltb,
he would have been there that night. But they had
there that eventing • geatleman whom they were very
pleased to eel there—the Rev. J. H. Scott. Tima
they bad their good friend, the Re'. O.
Gilbert, who repreeente I their seat of learn.
log, and also he Rev. W. Lewis. One and
all of them, he wei sure, were right glad to see their
ministers amongst them. (Applause.) On the
similar nocasion last year he was very much impressed
with the geniality of this feast, and the speech of their
rector, who undertook t convert in a certain time
the May and Corporation, who had just been
Inducted into a new pew. lie did not know whether
be ha I succeeded. Then there we another thing they
were able to c mgratulete themselves upon. It was
reported thtt one .4 their ministers had gone over to
Rome, but he had COMO heee • ;alai, and he was sure
thee all welcome I Canon Stephenson beck again, De.
@bads then spoke .4 the great pleasure it gave Men
to see the clergy amongst them at such meetings as
these. He coupled with the toed the names of the
Rev. J. H. Scott, Rev. C. R. Gilbert, and the Rev.
W. Lewis, .

The Rev. J. H. Scow said be had no difficulty In
responding to the toast, but be bed emu* difficulty in
replying to the speech of Dr. Childs He said he
had undertaken to convert the Mayor and amplest-
. tion in • certain time, but what he undertook was to
endeavour to restore peace and harmony amongst that
b ; they would reinemb-r they were not vary
harmonious just then. Wi,ll retard to • certain
gentleman who had gone over to Rome, that wool I
not he soc•pted in • li ;era' Renee, although it was
true he had None over to R nue, and had own the
Pope • h waver he had come hack claim He should
have bees oaly too old if the Bebop could have been
pretieut to respond to the t met They could only
re:rot that through foiling heslin the Lord Bishop of
Salisbury waa not able t be i•reeent that night. He
was certain there WIN no part of the Diocese the
Bishop book more intere4 in than the Boroueh of
Weymouth and Holcombe Reels. (Applause.) He
then referred to the o eciial relations existing between
the clergy and the laity
The Rev. W. Lewis said it was not necessary to
aid anythin to what the Rev. J. H. Scott had said
of the toast. If Mr. moott had undertaken to convert
the Slay I' and U Tporation, he bad undertaken •
difficult task. (Laughter.) Apart from the toast
they most all be ttotsking to-night, not about the
clergy or anything else, but the welfare of Weymouth.
(Applause.) He felt a crisis ha 1 come in the welfare
their town. It seemed t • him that • new era had
dawned upon them, an 1 as citizens they must look
forward to.and accommodste themselves to the change
and prepare for the future. They must not only makii
accommo lotion in the harbour for the steamers of the
present, but for the steamers of the future. (Applause.)
Ile impressed upon them the fact that It was necessary
for the welfare of the town to give the Gtest-Western
what they rsqueed, not only on their scomot alone,
hut by rewou of the larger traffic which would follow
if the harbour encamps° lotion was Improved. He
hoped they would all see Weymouth prosper, but if
It waa to prosper, they moat not exposit that other
people must do it all for them. (Applause.)
The Rev. C. R. (Imager also returned thanks, and
expressed • hope that the prosperity of Weymouth
would advance.

Mr. A wore : Song.
The MAYOR said they heal met to talk over local
matters, which were connected with the town. He
need hardly say the two gentlemen, whose healths be
was now going to propose, were ever ready to look
after the interests of the town. This was shown by
their leaving the busy sasses to come dove, and be
with them that evening. (Applause.) They were
gist to see them here amongst them. Whilst he was
talkin4 to them, be was sure they were minions to bear
them, therefore without any preface, he would pi.iome.
the health' of Mr. Henry Edwards and Sir Frederic
Johnston.. (Loud applause.)
Mr. EDWARDS, who WU received with loci
applause, thanked them most heartily and sincerely
for the honour they had done him by drinking his
stealth. He was sun if any occasion on which he
visite i Weymouth gave him great ;demure it was this
one, when they had what be might call • family
gathering. It gave him great pleasure to me bis
friend Mr. R rbertsou there, for belt was who revived
this, and also he was glad to see there what he might
call the bons and sinew ot Weymouth, became the
time had come when they would be called upon to act.
He had been greatly c inorrne I lately as to whether
the shipping trade WM to be cootinned at Weymouth,
or whether it was to be carried to Portland. For
arms o insiderable time last the Mayor and Corpora-
tion bad been deepening the harbour and making
'arbors alterations aa for as ttley c iuld. The Great
Western traffic had adva cod beyond the expect Along
of the most sanguine of them. It was only six year.
ago be was present at tba opening of this traffic, and
had the good foi tune to wind the first telegram from
Cherbourg to say that the traffic was settled, lie
had been in communication with Sir Daniel Gooch on
this 'object, and It was only • short time since the
matter wes brought before them. The Great Western
Railway Company, as well am the NV•atern Railway of
Franco, were most anxious to carry on their traffic,
which was • most suocessful one, not only in the
interest of that trade, but to that of Weymouth, and
as regards their interests he ('4,. Rimarris) would
play second fi Idle to no one. It wee • question of
life or death tithe commerce of Weymouth, it was no
longer a question of • patch hine or a patch there.
FI• thought there was every prospect of 'meows to
Weymouth if they would only be true to themselves.
It was gratifying to know that the Great Western
Railway Company have no desire to go away from
Weymouth. They will remain here as long as they
would enable them to carry on their commerce. If
they had large steamers they must have scoommnda-
tioo for them. He beard from the al manager
of theo impany only two days ago that arrangements
were being male to have new steamers for the
Channel Islands traffic, audit was arranged that they
could leave L radon at nine o'olock in the morning,
leave Weymouth at two o'clock in the afternoon, and
arrive at Guernsey in time for dinner at six o'clock.
(Applause.) He just asked them what that meant?
It meant that they would have incremed ac-
commodation from Loud in by the Great Western
Railway Company, and to enable them t
carry on their "'trice between the Channel
Wends and Weymouth would give increased traffic
to Weymouth. They all knew what a toll Folkat roe
and other watering placos were receiving by reason of
their daily ser.iee to France. With the Cherbourg
traffic the company guaranteed elyruace, and they
were now in receipt of f:4l 000 per annum harbour
do e. This was a traffic which would bring trade to
Weymouth, Independently of the (LW. Company.
If they made additions to the !tambour accommodation
for vessAi to come here, do let them have a place
where 'easels could be repairs i. Think what no
important matter that was. Vessels came into
Portland Roads, and were oblige' to go to Southamp-
ton and other distant places to be repaired. He
knew very well this accommodation required money.
and the question was whether the Mayor and Corpor-
ation would see the nmeasity of inakiag this accom-
modation. He believed if some good practical scheme
we. prepared and approved of, the G.W.R.
C ,mpany would be reedy to second them in Wey-
mouth in providing the m May for carrying out the
work—(applause)—and that was a very important
element it, the matter. He would do hie utmost ts
promote this ob)ect, and be need hardly ten:tint them
It was • matter that allowed of very 'MI, Mat/ it
would not allow them to put it oil far • year. They
must not delay. When he had met the Llirectors in
London they invariably say, 't They are very slow In
Weymouth." (Laughter.) He told them now, once
for all, it was a mattrar of life or death to the com-
merce of Weymouth. Hs eambeetly hoped they would

pat their shoulders to the wheel, sad bring this
matter to • successful Issue for every one of them.
(load A.pplauae.)
Sir Bagnesto Jonustrogs, who wee oleo received
with load •polause thanked them most sisesrely for
the very eromeively kind tanner in which they had
received the toast of his health, sad It seent.d
to him • fitting oPportanity to express his
regret that, through ebeence from England, he
had not been present at this gathering lat.ly.
Hi. friend Mr. Edwards bed talked about the hietory
of the past and the islet Ty .1 the future, ho . he th .ught
be would have left him the history of the present to
tell( about, but he did n t, and be had hardly any-
thing to say. tie thought he might stalely say that
, they were all agreed about the welfare of the town of
Weymouth. It certainly did appear to him aa his
