Al to the eight-hours' labour movement, he obj,ated to
that very much indeed ; he very often worked* fifteen
or sisteen hours, and sometimes found it necessary to
work more than sixteen. In oonelusion, he asked them,

O. E. ELlmr. Esq., said he wished to drive home
two coils which Ile Pau had so ably plumed in the
proper position. The first was the desirability that
somebody at Weymouth should be • competitor. Do
not let them push the Question maids, don't let them
think that, baeittg come here, when they had left the
room, they had done all they could towards the exhi.
bition. Lot them work for it, strive for it, and not
rest until the prises are given away, and then let them
only ewe to begin afresh for another ezhibition.
Supposing that they did not get • prise, they could
but fail, and he believed that one or two
failures are some of the foremost stem we take to solid
success. (Hoar.) The emend nail was the desirability
of commencing • subscription towards enabling those
who wished to go up to the exhibition. At the Patio
Exhibition there sere some of the members here who
paid in seine weeks beforehand, so it was very little
burden to themselves and they had the very groat
enjovment of • visit to Paris. He thought the sub-
scription should be commenced to-morrow evening.
Speaking of women being !admitted to this eahibition,
Mr. Page having mentioood that one had spoken on the
committee, be could see no reason why women should
not compete, why the world should be deprived of their
cleverness end skill. (Hear.) Mr. Elot then an-
nounced that M. Bishop Sea. had kindly promised the
esisitntioa of his 'Mended magic lantern and °vivito-
gen microscope.
The !Aaron, summing up the results of the meeting,
said that every poor working mac is any oouotry Gould

be arronged In order, all the canons trade' together.
Artiolat would be gent from the poorest workmen, and
as they had no greater edematous than those present,
why should these not oompetsil There would first be

the committee would decide what works would be fit to

pared to call a further public meeting to help forward

COUNTY BALL AT BLANDFORD.
The annual county ball took place on Wed-
nesday last under very distinguished patronage.
The Corn Exchsege was furnished with every
requirement for the comfort of ladies and gen-
tlemen present. This must have been a work
of no little trouble and expense. mid any one
looking in on the morning of Wednesday could
hardly have supposed that its dingy side walls
and uneven flooring could be so speedily trans-
formed into an elegant ball room. The whole of
the arrangements were, as on former occasions,
confided to the well known host of the Crown
Hotel, and under his instructions, Messrs. Croom
and Son,. very quickly gave the room quite
another and brighter appearance. The flooring,
which in some places was fully half an inch
higher than in others, was levelled by planing
and afterwards polished The lower part of the
recesses between the buttresses supporting the
glass-dome loof were covered with green and
white, above which was a wreath of evergreens
interspersed with artificial flowers, and along the
higher portion were suspended oil paintings.
The buttresses (eight in number) were orna-
mented with life-sized figures of Shakspeare,
Nelson, Sir R. Peel, Walter Scott, Burns,
Wellington, and two symbolical of the Arta and
-Sciences. A small portion of the room at the
entrance was screened off as a refreshment room,
the pools being decorated with figures repre-
senting Peace and Plenty, Spring and Summer.
At the north end of the room an orchestra was
erected and this was ornamented with shrubs in
pots and flowers.
The 'rownhall was set apart for the supper
and was nicely furni bed, the tables being '
arranged in group; for separate parties, while the
viands were most harmfully laid out.
The company began to arrived about 10 p.m.,
and consisted of the following ladies and gentle-
men in full ball oostume :—Col. Snow, Mrs.
Snow, Miss Manson, Miss Ella Farquharson, the
Misses Farquharson (2), Mr. W. lirowne, Mr.

neighbourhood were prevented from attending,
the Hon. W. H. R Portman's,Lord Rivers's, and
Mr. Clay Ker Seymer's, through illness; and
Baron Hembree through the death of a relative.
