The duck was at length captured amidst immense
applause. He had another chase between the cammittee
and the pile pier. and af.er shoeing good sport was
drven into the water, and his boat captured, and
retained as • "material guarantoa" by two of the
hunters. On this Mr. Duck sewd the boat's keel, and
rocking it violently. caused them to bolt 'quicker
than they came in," from fear of having it turned bottom
upwards on thorn. On his return to the punt, the
duck got the worst of it, the enemy °smell the
boat and left it water-logged, when the dunk, exhausted,
gave up.

Great amusement was sensed by such sports as walk-

pole for a leg of mutton, and the enterpri.ins

dense crowds assembled there and everywhere round,
caused great enjoyment.
The unmistakeable treat of the evening was the
repetition on the Pd. pier of Herr Van Heddeghem's
conceit. It wes indeed delightful, and even anat.r
numbers than on the previous evening assembled, while
the fleet of boats around the pier-head was immense.
It had been intended to exercise the lifeboat and
overturn here, bat the we•ther was to calm to dieplay

machinery to turn her over, in 0001900. W of her

the contact of the brine,

In the night there was a procuration of boats bearing
lighted torches in front of the Esplanade, and this hid
rather a striking effect, lighting up the bay with a
lurid glare.
A number of beantifai fireworks were discharged
from the yacht lied Gauntlet, lying under the Nothe,
the ILitnan candles, rocketit, and illumination fires
being particularly gaol. The yacht wa, lighted up
with various coloured fires, red, green, blue, ka., with
brilliant effect. The Nothe and the pier were crowded
with people, who seemed untired of cheering 'vont till
a late hour. The torch light procession returns I into
tl,e harbour, the bends among which the fife-and-drum
band was frequently heard, played various tuner
alternately, or in rivalry, and moth% fireworks, and
cheering were repeated far into the night.
Later still, a ball was held at ths Royal hotel.

Mr. Fiance, as soon as the enthusiasm bad slightly

feelings of pleasure and regret. Pleasure at the kind

small bond, but was rapidly increasing. He would
remind them that Forestry was not merely confined to
die relief of its direct members. other ways had been
I found whereby good might be effected, and lives pre-
! served and made happy. One of the greatest works the
A.O.F. had ever accomplished was the providing, of two
lifeboate- one the " Foreeiters." stationed at Cardiff
and the other the " Forestere Pride." at Hartlepd.
For these lifeboats the Order bad paid £94 is. did., to
keep them in a state of efficiency. Hs wall only too

"The Medical Offieer," was next proposed by the
CHAIIAX, and received with Forester's fire and
musical honours. .

Dr. )11cqgssr said he was exeeedingly happy at the
way in which his health had been proposed and received.
He would say the funeral expenses bed been very little

The CHAISMaIII said he was most happy to meet them
toolay ; it was not the first time he had taken the
chair, and he hoped it would not be the last. He could
see that some of the young gentlemen around were
looking anxious to adjourn to the greensward—Om:let-
ter)—and therefore he would not detain them further
than to tender them his heartiest thanks for their kied•
ness in drMking his health—(applause.)
"The Vi.iting Friend." was next proposed, and
Bro. NOBBS, secretary, of Court Progress (porches.
ter) responded, saying that the condition nf Forestry at
present was very encouraging, and no Court more so
than their own. There were 145 memb•rs, they had
nearly £5OO in the bank; hitt theyliad had • very great
amount of sickness-1,080 days—during which time
they paid nut £B9 10e., notwithstanding whisk they had
platted ell to the fund during the year—(sheen,) He
sincerely thank them all on behalf of Court Progress
(applause.)
"'The Prue wu next given and responded to, arid !
the company left for the green.
At the lower end of the field a stand had
been erected for the performance of the Nemo
family, and Sergeant Dominy. One of the former re-
paired to the stand, aid speedily • large concourse !
gathered around him, ehen he gyre some very sarpeis•
mg illustrations of legerdemain. He was much applauded
and at the conclusion of the performances dancing was
commenced within a space surrounded by ropes and
piles, whilst the rifle band discoursed some stirring
music. Shortly after Sergeant Dominy appearei and
commenced his celebrated sword feats. immediately
dancing was relinquished, and the attention of all was
riveted to the extraordinary comps of the noted Cern..
swordsman. He first placed an apple on an handker.
chief •nd cut it half without injury to the handkerchief.
Laid • silk handkerchief on a sword and dissevered it
with one sweep. Placed a quantity of silk ribbon and
leather on the sword and by one sweep severed the
whole. Then same the most astounding of his feats. A
bar of lead we. suspended by • oord, and with one blow
severed the cord and then the lead before it could reach
the stage. A 41b. loaf he severed in the same way, making
a clean dissection of the loaf without the least crurn.
blinz. Be then placed • gooseberry on • boy'sforehesd,
a potatoe in his mouth, an egg in one of his hands, and !
an apple in the other, end then with four successive
strokes Mr. Dominy cut the whole of the articles in two,
with a dexterity and coolness which was truly surpris-
ing. He cloud two bars of lead—one measuring five
inches and the other four int:dies—on a po.t,and severed
both at one sweep. Last came the crowning feat. An
entire sheep was suspended by a cord lalfolll a beam,
and a bar of lead futened to its back, and the whole
were out completely in half by one sweep. Thai epplaus
that greeted Mr. Doininy was deafening, and his won•
ml•-rfut feats remain as fresh as ever in the minds of those
who saw them seaen years ago. Mr. Dominy haa 14.4
none of his steadiness, and his performances were one
of the chief attractions. Again der.ci-ig was resumed.
and in the course of an hour the renowned Nemo came
forward and did some astonishing things in rings, ke,
the chief feature being the top•spinning on a small wire
extended from one end of the stage to the other.
Finally the great "impalement" was something surpiis•
ingly daring. A female performer places herself before
an upright board, in such a manrer that but • small
portion is not covered by her body. Nemo then throws
with great precision a great number of knives which
pierced the board around the whole of the actress's
figure, fortnin; a glittering row in shale contact with
every part of her boiy. It was well done, and much
cheered, and N imo wu declared to be decidedly clever.
After this dancing we! resumed with great spirit, and
maintained without flagging till darkness fell, whilst
" Aunt Sally," kiss-hi-the-ring, and other sports were
thoroughly enjoyed, and brought to &close a day than
which there has never been a merrier one in the ancient
town of Cornet Abbas.
