forces. On the previous day they (tne volunteers
numbering about three thousand of all rank.) took
part in an instructive chain fight with the line

tions they were well handled by their commanding
officers; their aim was deliberate and steady, and
chwacterieed by the &hectic., of °notation such as was
perceptible during the manvrow of 1871.2, under the

T. PITZIt'S SCHJOI2I Stallllll TILLS. —The don ly
weather of Wednesday last we,s not altogether • mil-
fortune for our school children and their teachers; for
while the Angina heat was thereby somewhat
mitigated, the authorities had great cause for th ink-
fumes, that no untimely downpour marred the day's
festivity. The children left the schools at 2 30, pre-
ceded by • bras, band in scarlet uniforms. They were
met at the church gate* by the choir, and all made
their way into church, where two or three hymns were
sung, and • brief address was given by the Vicar. No
earthly pleasure, said the Vicar, can be coneidered
perfect by a Christian, unlade it be accompanied by
the Massing of Jesus; for this 14566.11 thA children of
Si. Peter's Schools first meet in God's Holy 1101110 to
kneel at their Saviour's lent, before going to their play
in the field. On Issivieg the church, the procession
went past Oak Cottage, down the Highroad, and
round by Pousoaby-place, then the children entered
the fields near lieatherbank. kindly lent for the
occasion by Mr. Conway. One feature in the pro-
cession was the new school banner, the work of the
Misses Crane. It displays • white cross on • re
ground. with the arms of the diocese of aalisbury in
the middle; St. Peter's cross and the cross-keys are
t be seen in the lower part. The general effect is very
good, though the colones are unusually sub teed; but this
Is due to the feet that the materials have been chosen
on the principle that governed Dr. Primrose in his
chides of • wife, and that guided that estimable lady
in her choice of • wedding gown—not fer a floe gloeey
surface, but such qualities as would wear well. On
the whole the strong pilot of tha protrusion c in-
sisted more in the numbers of the children
than in the acces•oriee ; though we see no
reason why there should not be plenty of digs
and goo I music as well as plenty of good children.
In the field., the sports proper to thew t.ocasions were
zealously pursued, with °caseload interlu lee for the
distribution of nuts and toys. Gatlled that no fellow
can understand, in which there is neither beginning
nor end, and nobody wins and nobody lease, were
favoured by the girls ; while the boys went in for
cricket, &a. At about 4 p.m. • few drops of rain
csused a rush from the to. tables to the schoolro fuss,
but when it was evident that the few drips were all
that meant to fall, there was a speedy rush back to
the Sell. The children at the tables numbered ersctly
3do. including those from Salterns aud Mrs. Piercy's
Suodsy Clue at the North Haven. Alter tee, the
itemise were resumed. The men with air balls so in
sold out his stockilaftrade, and we were pleased to see
that some of tha elder boys and girls took a turn at
Sir It iger de ()overlay. At a little before 8 p.m.
cheers were given for Mr. and Sirs. Conway, the
clergy, teachers, and other helpers at the festival, after
which the pros,ission reformed in open order, and
retinue Ito the church. There the Notional Anthem
was played and the children were dietnisse i, after
which evensong was sung in church, •s • fitting
c inclusion to the day's pleasuring. By an undesigned
coincidence the soh folsconnec tad with the Independent
ChmA were having their treat the same &linen ion in
• fisld lent by Mr. flubs in, and we trust that they,
as well us our own children, had " • happy day."—
