' welcomed by the noble owner, who expreesed his
pleasure in seeing so goodly a company, and enquired into
the state of the society. After • short time the members
formed in circle in front of the house, the band in the
foreground, and the flags and banners at the back, for
the purpose of having a photograph of the company by
Mr. Meckensie, of Wimbome. After a few tunes, the
party returned to that portion of the park set apart for
