duty on their part when they had the opportunity of

saeffig what rejoicing end pleasure there mu
when they got prizes, to afford them the mewls
of having it -(ower, hear). lie must take map-
lion to one thing the Arehdeaoon said. He (Mr.
Banctoary) ached how could they expect people
to compete from Abbotabory ? Now he (Mr. Bingham)
Warmly ever oxne into Dorchester in the summer
months without seeing stone sold woman who hod
man.ged to bring in • bazicet of meekerel from Abbots-
bury, therefore be did not see why others thould not
bring in their vegetsbles. 'Mere he at down he wished
to say, as he had done for many years, that they owed a
deep debt of gratitude to their Heed Mr. Kindersley
who took the place of their descant! esteemed friend Mr.
Porcher in menet:Alen with this tenietY, and he trusted
that he (Mr. Kindersley) would for meny long yews be
able to catry it on with the Paine spirit and kindliness
of heart as the late Mr. l'oreher constantly exhibitedl.
He slated to thank the Arehdeanin for preeiding. end
Mr. Kindersley for the eood work he had done during
the past yet:- (applause.)
The ARCHDZACON wished to say that he did not
mention Bingham's klelcombe parish as one where the
egbiejtore were how by boring a waggon provided for
their vegetables, because Colonel Bingham was present

to

"new blood" amongst them, and it must he felt by all
that the Archdeacon hoot struck out two or three new
lines, which they, aesustomsd to travel in the
old paths, bad failed to discover. The At eb•
deacon hail referred to the subject of night
schools. The moment it was mentioned he felt
there web certainly an omission in their hat, and
he should take the eeriest opportunity of bringing
the question cetera the corteniteee of the society. It
they added to the number of parishes brought into
competition ii dal net incroae their expenses-the
prises were only distributed umongst • gnater number
of places; but if they came tooel to the prize list it in-
creased their outlay, end he foam! it would be itupossi•
ble for them, unless the suhecriptiona were ineren-ed, to
add night schisda to the hot. Aloe-ill, within the last
two years they bail reduce! their lies wises to To. fel.,
and the others In proportion, end, for his own part-
ite did sot know what the rest of the comniittee
thought- he should erudge immensely any further
cutting down. Therefote Ile hoped the words of the
Arch-Nation which would b made known throughout the
county, would stir up uvoey in the district over which
the society extends. alai that they :night be able
t`trough increased eulscriptiens to add night schools to
tieir prize list. But thrre ',wed to him to be this
difficulty -night schools at prewnt were in •
• very ajolido awe, and not established in all
parishes, while those which were in operation
had not always properly hi pt books, with the. number
of sttetalancee, &a, candor ewe: autiminty, and,
then foie, it would he trey difficult for them to bring
theta into competition, w they could regularly con•
stitulsd dav and Sunday 'chisels. But these matters
would be discussed by the c 1111 l mittee. and he ttustet it
• might result in their being able to offer prizes to night
schools-(beet, heart The Archdeacon also remarked
that some of the ;satiate's valued to take most of the
prize.; no doubt in certain claws it was so, but be
would remark that % parishes took primes last yeer,
and that was about the number competing yearly. But
II was said it was the soil in some pariebes that took the
poises,and that it was no or for others less favoured
to morale:be. Now it so beipeued that he went round
the district, No. e. in which was Little //interne. that
took • large number of wires tor vegetables. Ile sew
