COUNTY COURT. —The businesa connected with this
court on Thursday was again very unimportant, there
not being a single ease of any interest worth recording.
A Lamm nut—Early on Thursday morning a large
fish of the grampus *hale species was captured in our
bay. The monster, who had ventured too near the shore,
got on a sand-bank and was unable to get off again. A
boy, who takes the bathing machines into the sea,
mounted his horse and, putting a chain around the Bah,
pulled it on shore. The oil, of which there was a large
eitts,ntity in its head, was coon extracted, after which it
was exhibited in a tent to plenty of customers at one
penny each. The fish was between ten and eleven feet
long.

Carcurr.—A match wee played on Thursday betvhien
the Weymouth and Cerne Clubs on the ground of the
former, when the Weymouth gentlemen proved them-
selves more than a match for their opponents, beating
them in one innings with 40 runs to spare. As will be
be seen from the subjoined score the bowling of hissers.
°reeves and D'Acosta was very destructive, and tended
in no slight degree to bring about the results accom-
plished.

Cin Thuriday afternoon the 17th animal meeting of
the friend i and tuppdrters of this admirable in•titution
was held at the Board•rooni. the Mayor presided, and
th. re was • numerous attendance,the majority of whom,
however, consisted of ladies.

The MAYOR briefly opened the meeting by calling
upon the secretary, Dr. Smith, to read the annual
report, which sac as follows :

,
Ladies and gentlemen—you will, I am sure, feel with
me that, under Providence, we have accomplished much
in having completed the handsome building in which we
are now, for the second time, assembled to review the
past yeasts working of the institution, and while, on the
One hand, yotir Medical officers hereto regret the deaths
of two in-door patients during the year, they are, on
the other hand, cheered by the seedese which have fol-
lowed their exertions to ameliorate the stifferings of
others. During the past year we have had 58 patients
under treatment in the Sanatorium, being an increase
of 17 upon the previous year. Of these, 43 have been
cured, 8 relieved, and 2 died; 5 are still in Cm Sana-
torium under treatment. The time these patients re-
Mained in the house varied in individual cases, from one
to 12 menthe, or on an average eight weeks each,
The number of inpatient e admitted since the opening
of the Sanatorium In 1648 is 420. The number of oat.
patients treated during the pest year se 1,164. of
_I
whom 829 were from the oountryi and 3:ffi from Wey-
mouth and Meloombe Regis. The total nuMber of out-
patients treated up to Magnet, 1865, amounted to 14,019
—viz , 4,004 males, and 9,185 females. Of these 1,467
were from two weeks to five years old; 1,300 from five
to 15; 5,414 from 15 to 30; 4,005 from 30 to SO; and
1,903 above 50 years old. It is important to note the
ages of these patients, as it gives at a glance the
difference of suomptibility to disease throughout the
various epochs of life, from childhood to old age.
?an 'War then submitted the treasurer's report.
From this it appeared that tbe receipt*, including a
balance in the treasurer's and matron's hinds, and the
payment of the mortgages on the tolls of the Portland
Bridge, amounted to £792 Os. 3cl. On the ether side
there was • deposit of £3OO, a balance in hand of
£63 18s, 9d., and the emit for the maintenance of the
institution was £229 Is. 61. The invested capital
amounted to about £15,000.

Lieuteriant•CalOnel STEWARD propoeed a vote of
thanks to the ttellinimr, thanking him for the interest
be took in the diseharge of his dutiee, and expressed
wish that be might, for many years, hammered to fill the
once of treasurer, for he (the speaker) was sure
whilst .Mr. Eliot had health and strength he would be
always willing to devote his service for the benefit of
the institution. (A.pplause.)
Captain Swan, in a few appropriate remarks, se-
waded the proposition.
Mr. ELIOT, in response, remarked that, through the
mercy of God, he was again permitted to be present at
the 17th annual meeting of the institution. Be tendered
the meeting his thanks for the kindness Manifested
towards him, and wished Dr. Smith health and long life
to carry out the ben,volent work which he had in view.
Lieut.-Colonel STEWARD seconded the proeoeition.
Dr. SKITH in the course of reepondit„ observed in
reference to the subscriptions towards the Sanatorium
that the whole sums promised, but as yet unoollected,
were about CZ, but when that was received he should
close the balanoe sheet of the building fund. He
should then bath to look chiefly to the endowment of
the Sanatorium. He wadded widens, as be dated at
the meeting last year, that the institution should be.•
