SUNDAY SCHOOL MAT.

On Thursday lad the children of the Congregational
Sunday School. Southistreet, to the number of about 100,
accomyanied by • number of friends, had their sand(
treat at Frampton Perk, when the weather was delight
fully fins
The children assembled in the schoolroom at halirpset
nine n'i lock, and, after a hymn—" Another year bas
passed away, time swiftly KIM.' along "—wee sung, the
pastor (Rev. T. N•ave) engaged in • short prayer. Kiss
A. Hill presided at the harmonium. The children were
then disclaimed from their respective deeds by the salons
and indefatigable superintendent (Mr. W. Lockett). The
party Droved, d to the waggons (which waren in number)
In good spirits and order, starling thou after 10 crewel,.
Nothwithetanding the sad state of the weather of late,
the ride &lorded much gratinc *lion. and the party arrived In
the park about 10 minutes part 11, thus completing the
jeurn ry in en Lour. The party, after the waggons hai
halted, got out and soon indulged themselves in various
c.cencesahs, of which, Miring from all appearances,
there was no lack, and nothing marred them through-
out the day. The brake, for friends, which was
supplied by Mr. R. F. Bugler, Boot Hotel, Wey-
mouth, started from the top of the town don
after two o'clock, and arrived in the park at Gird
Menses A Hill, J. Harald, and A. Bawler, of the Dor-
chester " were," took • trip over, arriving in the Park
lug before the waggons. The children, after grace had
been pronounced. partook of tea at ballipast three, after
which they indulged in various games, including " kiss-
initheirine," "twos and " threes,' swinging. "grab,'
i racing for money, scrambling, Be. Cricket, of enures,
was entered into with vigour, and was the main feature for
the hors throughout the day, and • scratch match took
place. Keay of the party took walks round the splendid
garden of R. B. Sheridan, Msg., and some preferred the
village. This beautiful Park is worthy of mention, for its
lovely and sublime trees is • picture itself; although it ie
very familiar with this party, still, it I. one which Is
always much liked, and one, also, which iii thoroughly
enjoyed, for the scenery is charming. Tea, for friends,
took place at half -past four, to which about 40 sat down,
and was mach enjoyed. Ginger beer and other refresh-
ments were provided in the Park. The stools and boards
for the use or the children at tea were supplied by Mr. .1.
Hannah, of CornhilL Mrs. How, of Climatal, supplied the
ode. We must not omit to state that the ladies who
"maw on the children at tea gave every satisfaction, and
are to be heartily thanked for the manner in which they
discharged their respective occupation& amongst whom
we noticed Mimes Hill. L:ckett, Vincent, Wren,
Row, suckland, and Groves' and Mrs. Green, Mrs.
Stickland, Kni. How. Mrs. Pouncy, and Hrs. Tot'
tell, Mr. and Mrs. M. Devenish arrived in the Park
late in the afternoon, where they remained a
short time watching the amusing proceedings of the
children, and were much pleased. By this time—
quarteripast seven—preparations were being made for
the return journey, and, at about quarter to eight, the
conveyances left the park. Owing to the inclemency of
the weather recently, the bay was prevented from being
carried, and this, consequently, deprived the children of
the field which they had in former years been allowed,
and also prevented them from singing in front of the
'Squire's bode. The party arrived at Dorchester exactly
at halt:mat eight, and the wyggess halted in front of the
chapel. They then diapered to their several homes in
good order, ev•ryone being pleased that the day passed off
successfully. Thanks are clue to Kr. R. B. Sheridan for
the loan of the park, and especially for granting the
perminion of allowing the party to visit his magnificent
grounds.
