1116 PROPOSZD POULTRY SHOW.
Mr. CHAIM= said several gentlemen were endeavouring
to get up • poultry show at Weymouth, and it had been
suggested at ther meeting that it would be a good thing
to get the Market house for the show. Provided they
could arrange with the stall-keepers and bond holders for
a few days, would the Council consent? It any profit
arose the promoters would be able to make a present to
the Market house funds for • speculation, but to provide
some amusement in the town. It would be necessary to
have a very large place, and this seemed the only one they
knew of suitable.
The members were unanimous in their consent., proeid•
ing the promoters could arrange with the stall-keepers
and bond holders.
Dr. Dire: If you do not have it there, and you like to
have it on the end of the Pilepier, we shall be happy to
you in any way.

the coroner had held the inquest on little Bayley, who
had been killed the previous day, another accident hap-
pened. On Friday afternoon Mrs. Dunning, of East-hill
'louse, went out fora drive with her children in • little low
carriage which had been lent them pending some repairs
to their own trap. On returning homeward whilst
descending the alight incline by the Post-oftice7 the trap
pressed on the pony's hocks, which caused it to com-
mence kicking and start off at a plop. On reaching the

could not, and on it dashed at • flying rate to the foot of
the hill. Here the near wheel of the vehicle caught in
the gutter opposite Mr. Thorne's, grocer, jerking Mrs.
Ihinning and one of the children out. Some of the
others were shaken out, whilst the pony was galloping up
the hill, on arriving at the top of which • lad named
White succeeded in storping it. Mr. Dunning's two little
girls showed • great deal of pluck, and stuck to the trap
to the la.t without u much as indulging in a scream.

of the little ones met with • bruise on the nose; but
beyond that no other harm, as far as we can hear, was
sustained. The trap, however, fared worse, and got a
" severe shaking."
