A WITIGOITTH Arnim —Mr. William Mice, of
Spring Gardena, has been fortunate in obtaining a
purchaser in C. Hanibro, Esq., M. P. for his
beautiful oil painting of Weymouth from the
harbour's month. The picture is well deserving
the honour, font is a noble work of art. In the
foreground is a beautifully drawn schooner ooming
oat of the harbour with a 'Moog northerly wind. A
wonderful amount vroisemblanos has been caught
end transferred to mama by Mr. Mace. The
bellying jib, the swelling foretopenl and it. yard
bending with the strain, arrest instant attention, and
the schooner mesa to fly along as you see the spray
driven before her bow, heeling over a little from
the form of the wind. You mark her crew oo tbe
weather bulwark. looking oat to use and evidently
enjoying their rapid course. A boat that hes just
craned the bows looks as if she dont not have
delayed, or she would have been run down. 8o foil
of life is the principal figure that you might almost
fancy her a living thing bounding out to seaward and
rejoicing to be free. Ths accessories well support
this central object; to windward is tbe pile pier,
and in the middle distance Devonshire Buildings,
the rut of Ifsloombe Regis stretching away to the
north. To leeward is the No*e with its forti6m.
Poor, and so well as Mr. Mum worked in the

In reality removed- Right op the harbour tise eye
looks to a softened beck ground, and every pert of
the picture one must acknowledge is wonderfully
faithful. The painter has thrown the charm of
Italian tints over the ensue, and the whole is delight-
ful in effect. The picture has been exhibited in Mr.
Hibbe's window to the great admiration of all who
have seen it, and we are glad that Mr. Hembro has
oommintioned our local artist to paint two more
somies.

the Association are growing fast into every detail of the

business of receiving admission fees was managed well.
A greet many of the benners which partially deadeuod
the sound had been omitted, and a new proscenium in
very good etyle was fitted up by Mr. Chalker. As the
Atheltie Association are on the road of improvement,
it may not be out of place to suggest that the effect
might be better if dm two gas lights at the window
were removed and placed on the pletfortit, so as to
throw • better light on the performers' feces. The

GRAND FANCY BALL

A grand fancy ball was held at the Royal Hotel
Assembly Rooms, on Tuesday evening bet, when
over 200 ladies and gentlemen assembled. The
whole affair was the most successful that has come
off in Weymouth for a long time past, ant even
6:needed in brilliancy and general (Filet that of last
year, which was a marvel of elegance and comfort.
The arrangements made this time showed that all
the improvements which long experienoe could have
suggested had been made by Kr. Laos and his
assistants. The stewards were :—Major Acton, 51st
ROLL., Captain Patton, FL N., Captain Nugent,
Slit K..L.L, George Bishop, Esq.. J. R. P.
Coodden, Seq., W. IC. Leir, Esq., E. FL Theobald,
E.g., Major Cam Sykes., Captain A myatt Brown,
Captain Castle, W. Brytner, Eel., A. B. Foster,
Esq., Elopers Hancock, Esq., John Turner, H.q.
The number of ladies and gentlemen was each as
greatly to encourage the stewards for the exertions
they had made to ensure the success of the affair.
Fortunately the weather had greatly moderated ;
and the company were spared the chilling winds that
blew with such vehemence around them who 'topped
from their chairs and carriages into the Hotel on
Saturday night. The company began to arrive
shortly after ten o'clock, the hoer tied for the
dancing to commence, and it was soon evident that
the affair would be one of unexampled brilliancy.
The ladies and gentlemen were about equal in
number, and this greatly contributed to the onjoy•
meet of the ball. Targett's Quadrille Bend, specially
retained for the bell, spiritedly dispensed the music
and the company were prompt in accompanying it
with flying feet, and the some presented ever•
varying combinations of precious metals flashing
jewellery, and brilliant colour., like the otiostant
dissolving views of a giant kaledinicope. An idea
of the various imetnnthe worn may be gathered from
the following list, which it is probable falls rather
below the actual number present, on account of the
difficulty of getting names and descriptions accurately
from so rapid arrivals.
