nett' half-past eleven from barracks. Preecatetiorgoase
Beadereon found him jest below the bridge in a

Allo SCIENTIFIC IZIIIITUTION.—The in.
augural lecture for the mason season of the Literary
and Scientific Institution will be delivered by Mr.
Joseph Drew, oa Wednesday evening, the 20th init.
the subject being "Man orthistora and Modern."
From the great interest at this mowed evinced in the
mantilla world upon the subject of prehistosie man, and
especially from the dissuasion, warmly yet at r
between Bit John Lubbock, and the Duke of Ar7rsyt
upon this subject, we may reasonably look forward to
an interesting evening with our townsman, especially
if be should treat the question in his usually exbanative
manner. The inaugural lecture will be free, after
which the free list will be suspended.

took place respecting the legality of the Preston coed,
tbere not being • sufficient number of members present,
amending to the :i3rel Genera Law, at the meeting of
the Court in question, to legalise the business done at
toe meeting. Consequently, the delegate was not
allowed to vote, though he was paid his expenses as •
delegate. The minutes of the committee meeting were
del, read, and passed unanimously. The balance
sheet was read by the junior auditor. From it we
le.rn that only two deaths of members' wives had
occurred during the past term, and that the total worth
id the oistrict is £lll 13s, Sfld., which considering the
abort time the district hes &can mitieblehed, and the
matiy claims, is very satisfactory. The election of officers
come next in rotation. Bro. A. Speight was unani-
measly elected to the chair, and Bro. R. Symonds to
the vioc•oheir. Bro. W. It. P. Jeffery was mode elected
di.bnct treasurer, Bro. David Warren secretary, and
'frog. Brinibleoombe and W. Farchase, auditors. It

LAIINCII AND CRITISS OF THE LIFEBOAT.
The quarterly inspection of the Weymouth lifeboat
"Agnes Harriet," so generously presented by the Earl
of Strafford, took place on Thursday afternoon len.
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution's Inspector,
Captain Hobert., captain Borrett. R.N., and R. G.

besides several other ladies mid Inotitunne Wee Wenn,,
and watched with interest the opening of the slipway
and preparations fur launching. Owing, however, to
the rollers having become miff through want of use
and in general to the ores beim' comparatively untied
to the management, there was • great delay in the
launching. The boat was got out to tbe top of her
slip; but eould not be got to stint, and in spite of many
• hearty "Fe, heave, oh r and the application of hand-
spikes by strong ems, move she woulin't Some of
the men got into her and danced in such a manner ea

the fire of jokes from small boys perched on the wall
near wag rather brisk. Anxious directions would be
given, sad • greet effort then applied, and at the
failure • pantie who monied to have the newspapers
shouted "Roan of laughter r' in • provoking way.
Somebody said the weather was too fine, and the life-
boat would not be made a fool of, by being "tested"
when there was no see to ten her. The men in their
cork jackets worked about till they got hot under the
exertioe, grease was pleatifally applied to the slipway,
and at last, down she slid. But in the excitement ber

At length she wu freed end et in the weter ; but this
of course would not do, and Captain Robertson bad
her hauled up again, for • launch with more kind.
Another hitch occurred, and the spectators began to set
tired and declared It was so when she was launched some
months ago. In • few minutes she went off end stuck
a little down the shipway, and was hauled back again ;
but at last she went off In beautiful style, more than
half way across harbour. Very pretty she looked, with
her crew in their uniform of red caps blue Guernseys,
and cork wsistenn She was brought again to the
quay, and the Inspector and K Bayly, Esq., went out
to witness the exercase of the men. By the kind 'punt
a Mr.Cff.nlin Robntson allowed the
reporters to accounny, and • very pleasant coulee it
was, although it was not such • day as would best have
brought out the cenbilities of the boat. She was
rowed out into Portland ltoode, and Captain Robertson
carefully enquired into the details such as the trimming
of the oars, the Illness of the crutches or rowlocks, for
everything hag to be of the best in so &Moult • servioe
as that of the lifeboat. The rowlooks are made square
instead of round, as used in then parts, for it is often
found impossible to feather the oars, and they have to
be pulled with a stiff, strong, though short and quick,
stroke. In case of the crutches bang broken, the men
are provided with grnmmits on leather rings to hold
the oar to the thole, and in case of like accident to
the, oars, there are • number of spare ones. The

towed behind, and when there is danger of running

to be stopped—tightening the red line causes the bag
to dreg on the water, mid act as a kind of floating

anchored, to test her anchor's holding power. against

THE TONIC SOL-FA DEMONSTRATION..
The Tonic Sol-Fa Amociation gave • demonstration
of the reunite of their pm eel, under the leadership
of Herr Emil Behnke, on Tuesday evening last. The
day had been moot gloomy, • deluding rain that no
umbrella could keep * falling eontinually, and this
deterred a great many from venturing out of doors.
Perhape It was partly the result of this and of the
shortening of the Weymouth season, that the reserved
mate at the Royal Hotel Assembly Rooms were almost
empty, though the Mayor kindly gave his pretence as
lie is always ready. to do, for any movement for the
towns eetwat • Tbe centre and beck meats were very
well filled indeed, and it would seem bait for the
Asecoiation to bear in mina that their friends 'one'st
the great mass of the middle dame., for whose detects,-
tion, not to may advancement, the system of Tonic Sol-
Fa is especially suited. Not that it is not adapted
also to bring on ringers to the foremost ranks of musical
proficiency, but the efforts of its tuebers are evidently
aimed at raisiim • large number of maturate voices, and
therefore its demoustratiou., to be as effective as
possible, should probably atm at being on the grandest

pomade. Therefore the selection of a hand of
singers (although there were 60 or 70 in number)
far lets numerous than those assembled at the first
demonstration at the Mule-hall, although immensely
advanced in their training, wee not so likely to attract
• grad boure of the upp,r ten thousactl, to the Royal
Hotel. Of the performance. themselves one ought to
write in terms of the greatest admiration. Every singer
seemed to bang on the undlitetor, and to draw their
intonation entirely frou his anunreffthil smile, white
the runsic was sung with the greatest exactness and
a:pre...ion suited to each piece, so that there was •
pollution and unity in the rendering that made each

and the 'text' it ie eceetvlY too much to say that the
Tonic Sol-fa assemblies reedit,' one of the poet's lines

The mus of singers arranged facing the etandsetor

Between the Ant and woad parte • new anthem

POMO', so that the Asposision had • person competent
te judge how they would perform the task. On the
panel being opened, It wasfound to be apiece entitled
"Praise the Lord, OlJericalem.' Herr Behnke said
the piece was not very elesentery ; It might hay., been
made more elementary, Mt they should try and get
through with it. The piece was then sol-iced once, shit
afterwards sang to the words in an exceedingly
creditable manner ; but orbit,' the best critique on
this would be the remarksof Mr. Stone himself. At a
later period of the °young. Mr. T. Anderson, the
secretory. 'mid that Mr. S•one, the composer of the
sightsinging test, was in the room, and it would no
doubt be interesting to mar bin opinion am to the
manaer in which the piss was rendered. Mr. Stone
would therefore come forward, and give his criticism
upon it.
Mr. Stone said he was wry much Pleased to be asked
to give tbie opinion, and Le was gliod to notice that the
singer*, with characterisic modesty, believing they
were cot efficient. had been much pot out become they
made • few mistakes in the tept•sincine test. He was
glal that be had made it to so ditlishilt, because any
mistakes made would prove that it was really a sight
Ringing test. However, if the singers themselves
thought it was not well done, be ohould like for them
to point out a choir that would do it better, under
similar circumstances. Of comae they could not ezpeot
in a first performance that finish which they would get
after a number of rehearsals, therefore he did not • x-

would sing with the ex-
pression and up to the speed they would have done, had
there been • large number of practices. The Woodard
of sight Unpile, he could sewn them, was very low
indeed, and therefore the performance would be °mol-
dered extraordinary by professionals. They had in
Bristol several magical sonnies, wen or them world
renowned, and they would be glad to be joined by any
body of singers who weld sing that twee se well, lie
might tell the singers that they had made much fewer
mistakes than he would have expected. He did not
intend to flatter then, and In making this reined( he
did not mean Bedsit° infer that proleaeionals would not
have done it better. He did not look upon gathering,
of this kind es ordinary cow:arta, but he did look upon
sightslogiate testa as showing what gatherings of singers
could do. It might be very easy to get • number of
children together and teach them to sing pleasingly,
but to teach them honestly as Herr Behnke had done,
and give them what no one oossid take away from them.
was a ouch greater achievement. In woolusion Mr.
Stone ell:Anted that the choir had sung the sight-singing
test uncommonly well, and isertainly as well as any
amateur society or choir in the kingdom would do it.
The *woad part showed even an Inerealle in the
pleasure felt by the audience. Lowell Mason's "The
Men," was begun with the true spirit it required, and
tbs children received a warm encore. The class next
pee Abt's glee "Th. Foot Travellers." in • most
charming manner, and with abundance of 1070111
healthy expression, the leading soprano's voice bong
particularly good and the "Hurrah" chorus given he
splendid style. It was perhaps the gem of the evening
in the part for the adults. The one best performed by
the children was • German trifle " In a pond the frogs
were croaking," which the youngsters evidently much
enjoyed and entered into the spirit of. It was heartily
encored. and repeated with equal success. liradbury's
glee "The Sprite Queen," wont very well, and so did
Lowell Mason's patriotic song, the first by the adults, and
the latter by the children. The finale was "The Fisher-
man's Morning Song" from lissaniello, which was sung so
charmingly that it was the "crowning of the edifice,'
and served to confirm more than ever the impreesion,
nay to prove conclusively, that the Tonle Sol-fa system
could not only teach Maple tunes, but give elpfessinla
to all the graces of harmony. The pieos was of course
encored ' • at would have been • [lngram to the audience
if it had not, so exquioitely was it rendered. It was
however, almost too late to detain the younger singers,
and Herr lichnke and the audience both had to exercise
• littlo self-denial, its oily haring the repetition of the
last Verie.
The whole of the singing showed most conclusively
the en-Bence of Her Behrike's tewhing, and the
capabilities of the Tonic Sol-fa system, and the
Ao.ociation have every raison to be proud of their great
and marked progress.

Mr. Omani' said the rats did not include £lOB
which they might expect to receive from the Gover
meet.
Mr. A. &RIVEN wanted to know why they wished to
come on the people for money, and angst...Ml "making
the Government pty," a.nd keeping beck some of
the salaries; but he was reminded that the Govern-
ment contribution is voluntary. and that the salaries
only amount to al. The Board was indebted about
non to the treisurer.
Mr. B. BoUdge wished they could have Omar, off
their debt. ; but auggreled that they could manage
with an eightpenny rate till they remised the oontritin.
Mon from the Government, and though Mr. A. SORIVilli
thought £2OO would be enough to spend, nod a four.
penny rate would be more to the credit of the Board to
