WEST STAFFORD.
ENTKIITAINMENT.—An interesting' entertainment was
given in the schoolroom at West Stafford on Thursda,
evening for the benefit of the County Hospital, under the
chairmanship of the Rev. Prebendary Smith. There was
a full attendance. The performance ConllllollCed with a
trio for piano and violin—the overture to " Tancredi "
executed with great taste and brilliancy by the Misses Eva
and Blanche Smith and Mr. Charles Keats. Later on
they again appeared with Mr. Walter Smith in the raise
"Tausend nod eine Nacht." Mrs. Reginald Smith then
gave Weber's lovely song 'Lonely " in her usual exquisite
style, being loudly applauded. The Rector tees I lenny-
son's "May Queen. and Miss Blanche Smith played
Matters "Vales de Concert" with marvellous execution.
"The Ellin Call," by Glover, Was well rendered by the
Misses Gillett and Rolls, two members of the Stafford
choir (who made their first appearance in publie), and were
deservedly encored. Major Leigh's reading of" The
Irishman s Family " was very good, Mr. Herbert
Wulseley sang " Alonzo the Brave, being heartily
encoresl. In response he gave "The Wonderful Musician,

rapturously received. The Rev. W. linjullart said he
wished to explain that this performance was in aid of the
Dorset County Hospital, lie felt sure they all thoroughly
appreciated the benefits of the hospital • at any rate,
~p,Ntitiait of his parish, he knew how much. it was valued
there by the constant applications made to him for tickets.
In conclusion he thought if other parishes in the county
were to follow the example set by his friend the Rector
there would be no reason why this valuable institution
should be in deld. Ile then gave a tale of the old coach-
ing days called "Early Rising," which was well read. A

kliss Eva Smith, Miss Rolls, and Shia Gillett, entitled
The Happy Hunter." This was succeeding by a good
reading from "Pickwick," entitled "The Election at
danswill," which was very nicely read by Mr. George
Floyer as being applicable to the present season, Mr. H.
Woluley then sang "U-pi-dee," and in reply to an
unaniniew encore gave "The Bridge," a narked contrast
to his previous song. "0 who will o'er the Downs,"
given v-ill, great effect by the choir, and "God Save the
