what lengthy line of vehicles, preceded by the Stick•
land life and drum band • who, tinder the leadership or
Mr. Charles Itlekette, of the Whitoliurch Temperance
Band, coutuibuted materially to enliven the day's pro-
teedinga. On orrivin.t at Weymouth, they partook of
a I.l...utifal supply of provisions and that proceeded to
enjoy thttnselves on the sands. Boating and donkey-
tioing, excursions to the camp at Lulworth and to
Portland formed part of the entertainmrni a, and when
it was remembered that the majoiity of thoe children
had never seen the sea or had a trip by rail it will be
manifest what a red 1, tier day this will be in their lives,
and how grateful they must feel to the Baron liambro
for his kindasss in providing them with such an ex-
cellent day's recreation. Upwards of 200 children were
thus treated, nearly 100 of whom came from our little
village, the pioportion being rendered thus large by our
worthy rector kindly sending the Snoday Fcholars with
th- others to paricipate in the holiday. After
thoroughly enjoying themselves anti collecting a variety
of, to them, coin:nits specimena of shells, pebbles, and
seaweed, they again aasenibled together and partook of
a plentiful tea of cake and bread and butter, after
which they were re-conducted by their teachers to the
railway terminus and commenced their journey home-
ward ; the patta4e through the tunnel was not now no
terrible an affair as it had been in the morning, anti
on again _ reaching Dorchester ti

once

arranged themselves in the homely vehicles which
had brought them there in the morning. The
return journey seemed to create a greater sensation in
the viliges through which they passed than their
passage through them had done in the morning, even
the good folks of Dorehester turned out in goodly
numbers to gaze on the happy Cices crowded in the
long line cf vehicles, and the enlivening effects of the
b.nd were fully marrifeA wberever they struck up.
The whole of them arrived home safe at eleven o'clock,
to the intense satisfaction of parents aud friends congre-
gated to receive them, and all willed in hearty cheers to
the Baron Hasubro for the great pleasure they had
enjoyed.
