The second day proved as fine as was Tuesday, and
there was a large attendtnoo. There were seven
events on the card, and barring a walk over to begin
with, there wag good sport, and, what is more, the best
horses were generally considered to have won. 'the
chief attraction was the contest for the Qiieen'e plate,
and when Formosa showed--• beautiful creature and
eharmingly docile—the horsey were sure she would
win, and the general body of spectators were pretty
much of the some opinion, so the bookmakers could not
do much against her. However. • tThld of Ave came
out, and Arlington ran sufficiently close to the winner
to Make the race an !etas-sting sight. Happily the day
passed without accident, end all present had a day's
good enjoyment of the peculiar kind racing affords.

AND DORM COUNTY ROYAL
RYE INFIRYLRY.

A general meeting of the subscribers snd governor,
of this institution was convemed for Tuesday last. at 11
am., in the Board Room of Me Infirmary,to coeditor the
best means of providing additional acoommodation for
the in•riablents. C. Hombre, Req., M. P.. presided, and
1
there were also prowitt :—Colonsi Steward. W. wok
sp., J. P. Hodges, Req., T. Coffer, Beg,. Rev. T.
Greaten, Rev. J. litephensca, Dr. Rhodes, Mr. W. B.
Groves, Mr. Maunders, Mr. Oakley, Mr. It. Thomas.
Mr. Plowman, ka.
In introducing the business, the MAMMA' stated
the °blest of the meeting in the terms it was convened,
and invited any gentleman having • Proposition to inrike
ho proceed.
Ur. RHODOS said that perhaps it would save time if
they would ellow hist toexolain to them their present
petition. At the last meeting it was universally agreed
that the accommodation they now had was insufficient,
and the arrangement of the stating building bed. The
result of a circular sent round the county WU, he thought
the collection of between £2OO and MOO. Plana were
submitted to the committee by various architects for
carrying out the object in mew, but it turned oat that
for want of space and from the contraction of the
present building, its enlargement was impracticable—
ihere was not sufficient sp ice obtainable to render
possible the erection there of • thoroughly good building.
It therefore became a question whether instead of gate
ting the present infirmary and putties about tbe old
wails, it would not be desirable to consider the &dais.
ability of obtaining a new site and disposing of the
present building. He believed that the report which
Mr. Maunders read to the but meeting was to the effect
that it was considered the requisite alteratons in the
present building were hardly admissible.
Mr. MAunntan : That was the report, Or rather
, statement, made by Mr. Crickmay.
Dr. Ititonta, continuing : That being so the present
meeting was called to discuss the subject, and to lave
various sites submitted for their opinion.
The CHLIIIIMI : Since that meeting have not some
sites been suggested?
Dr. RHODES : Yes, several. There was the middle
school site • it was also proposed to join this institution
with the site;
Infirmary ; and there was another
suasstion, that *plot of I and iih °eta be purchased situated
in Hingotreet, now oecupird by the Sun Inn. This last
he thought a very desirable Rite.
The ries. TAUterr Onset= thought that from •
..a....aoent eubtiattem in the last meeting any .a.m...1.r
in respect to the enlargement of the present building
depended on whether or not the adjoining house, or
the house at the hack, could be obtained, and that point
seemed to be in a state of doubt.
Dr. Rsorits : it has been settled that the house at
the bulk cannot be bad.
Mr. Octaves: And the home at the side?
Dr. RUDDER thought that would make it excessively
ineonvenient
Mr. MAUNDERS reed the minutes of the last meeting,
from which it appeared that four voted for s proposi-
tion to inquire if Mr. Ingram was disposed to will the
adjoining house, and on what terms, and five for an
amendment, which was subsequently carried, that the
original idea of sbt•ing a new site and erecting a new
buddies, be carried out.
Mr, }SLIM I What is Dr. Fox's opinion?
Dr. Rffotoss: He has never *amassed an opinion to
me on the subject. I asked him to he present, but he
said " No "
Mr. ELIOT : I should very much like to hest what he
thinks about it There visa proposition to unite with
the Royal Infirmary.
Dr. RHODES. referring to the middle school site, said
he thought going there valid be moving from a good
situation to a bad one : hedid not think the site down
there desirable. They sated him to speak his candid
opinion—be did not like it They were shut up there,
close to those dreadful utwnills and the backwater, and
he piece of ground was not sufficiently large for the
pnrpose.
The CHAIRMAN inquire' whether the present meet-
ins could decide anythim in the matter?
Major ETZWADD reanareed that there was no formal
resolution before the meeting, and they were rather
toeing time. 14e begeedto propose that the scheme for
obtaining the Bus Inn site be con•idered, and that such
steps be taken as would orward Its purchase. He sug-
gested that a drawing slould be made of the institution
as it would stand on thee site, that it be put at the head
of a cheater and sent throughout the county, with a
view of getting more nteariptious. It was a county
institution, which made it so much the more important,
and also much easier to raise funds than if it was simply
• local or town institution as wee the iefirmsry.
Mr. GROVES suggested that site would afford very
little room for a yard, the area being very contracted,
and he inquired if they had thought of purchasing the
Royal Infirmary.
Dr. Rsonss : We should le worse off then than we
are now. The present rite was 45ft. by Sift., and that
of the San inn 45f t. by 40ft., for which £7311 was asked.
Mr. GREATER: What I 1150 for a piece of laud
45ft. equare I Swish I hail some land up that way—
(l•oithkr.)
Dr. Raw= : That's not hall so bad as the Royal
Infirmary.
Mr. Oats M: I think they bad an excellent bargain.
The position of the Sun inn was as bad a one as could
possibly be thought of —it wain the midst of noise, and
duct, UPI was but a small Pot. They would never be
justfied in asking the pubis and the county to give
'owned* purchasing that rite, where they could have no
Proper yard or anything elm. It memo& to him that
it would be completely throwing money away.
The Ceritaats : I think Ur. Steward's proposition
is not seeondeeL
After a pause,
Dr. MIDAS: I bag to second it. He had applied to
Mr. Auden.n for rite., who said if they wanted . bit
of freehold they would have to pay £6OO or £7OO for it.
He (Dr. Rhode.) knew of no site more desirable or suit-
able than that in King-street. It was • corner piece,
was within 50 yards of the beach, and, what was most
important sieing that four-fif,hs of their patients catue
by train, WWI only about 50 yards from the railway
station. Within that short distance was the bench for
children to play on, the site afforded a sea view, and
the free circulation of air. U anything more was desired
for a public institution he must bow.
Mr. OSZAVHS said the objection to the present site
was that it yam quite inadequate to the wants of the
institution; but the Sun in site was only loft, wider,
and for that they were t. rtiend E7OO •
The CIUIRSIaIe suggested that the increase of area
was hardly sufficient to justify their taking it, awl he
advised waiting.
Mr. Etdot : Is not a sea view bad for the eyes ?
(laughter.)
Dr. RHODZS : On the Ring-street site they would
only get a sea view from a bay window.
The Rev. J. STEPHINSON dot not consider the piece
dear; the question was whether it was desirable.
Mr. Octave. : Then we must have got the site for
the new church wonderfully cheap. It is 125 feet by
120. • corner plot, a splendid site, square, and having
capital walls worth about C 25, and all for £1,200
Dr. Reonms : You are five lest lower there.
Mr. Octaves i I think not. There May be a little
slope, but compare the area. Any judge of sites in
Weymouth would soy that was infinitely better than
the San inn site, independent of the quantity.
DI. RHODIS: That ill • matter of opinion.
Mr. StitliklutOls : No doubt the church site was

*heap.
Mr. GUAM! thought they paid very good price.
Let them consider whet would be the prioe per sore of
the Sun inn site, 401 a square, at 1700. Why, it
was • hoodoo Prim
Yr. Gaol= Biked if say Of the &melt tend Gould be

sold.
Kr. GRZATU said be wanted to keep it MI. They
...it perhaps sell 30 feet by 80 feet, aud if they ooald
, ford a rum proportionate to that asked for the
. inn site they would be able to build the church.
111 r. COLTON inquired ll a site cduld not be gilt beyond
Iffi. John's °burets, a sort of extension of the esplanade.
Dr. RRODIS replied no. In asses of diseases of the
eyes • little time wee of greet importance, and it was
desirable both for surgeon and patients that the inlismary
should be as near as poseible central.
Yr. ELIOT : I do not think the Sun Inn a good site,
sad new did.
Dr. RHODES said he was supported In his opinion as
to that site by Dr. Smith, who thought ;nothing could
he sleet.
lir. ORIATER asked if any plan had been drawn
for combining this institution and the Royal Idfiruisry.
Dr. anomie said the arobitoct stated the site did not
admit of making a good building.
Yr. Geasvos was ineredulous. If the specs proposed
1 to be tsken for the new infirmary was insufficient for
I two buildings, it was quite obvious this one space was
inadequate for the eye infirmary, for the other contained
I far more than double the space.
Dr. RHODES suggested it was possible to erect two
buildings on two separate plots, which would be more
erivsentageous then a combiued institution on a piece
r than the two united.
Mr. Titoismd said it had been fully decided that they
should not abandon the present freehold site for one
that was leasehold. He had attended several meet-
ings, and was one of the sub-committee appointed to
march for • new freehold site. They had made in-
guinea all over the town, and could ficd no other site
available Mum this in King-street, and he thought the
committee definitely 'rattled on that plasm. He oonsi-
dered they were called on that morning to devise some
means of getting funds for erecting the building. He
did not know they were called on to discuss the question
of site.
Mr. ORRATICH: The King-street site was never an-
, embed by the committee.
Dr. RHODRR: The building committee met, arid re-
commended that also.
Mr. GRILSVIN : But no general committee accepted
the site.
Mr. THOMAS: Whet is the iiaretion before us?
The CHAIRMAN: To consider the best DASDs of pro-
viding additional simommodation for the in-patients.
, rtioatts ; I gamma that will embrace the whole
qumtion.
The Commute : fl'..; so far eel mu make out from
the minutes of the last meeting nothing was settled.
Mr. Tillogas : To make the meeting practical, would
It not be well to put the question of site. Unless there
lien amendment Mr. Steward's motion must be canted
or negatived.
Major Retwsto said his proposition was that the
Kingetreet site he considered, but ho had no objection
to altering it to that the King-street rite be purchased
for the new building.
Dt. Ritonta wooded. What was wanted WAS for
the committee to have power to lay before the county
some plan for the enlargement or improvement of the
iwarmw7. What be usderstood took place at the last
meeting was this—that the building committee, eon-
slating of ebe=lve gentleman met, and they could find
no more gni ate than the flan ian,oad be wig under
the impression that was embodied to • motion and
entered in the minute hook.
Mr. GREATEN. Excrue me interrupting, but I don't
think that at any meeting any report has been received
from the building committee.
Dr. Roe.: I think Mr. Thomas wee prountl
Mr. THOYAMS ; NO.
Mr. MAUNDERS : The meeting was not held.
Mr. Genets : The Namur soy, then has not
been a muting.
The CHAIRMAN: It Seems to me Men that the matter
Is still in the bands of the site committee.
Mr. Thomas said he mold give them • verbal report.
They could see no site an elegible as that in King.street
—is fact, it was • sort of Hobson's choice—they could
I not get any other. They could go to the Johnstone
'estate and get 10 plums Wambold, but no freehold. lie

thought Bing-street a very suitable and premium*
situation. There the institution would be sees by all
taming to the town. Dr. Rhodes reported that It was
well suited for the patienta—be was their medieal
officer, ried he thought they ought to defer to his
Judgment.
Mr. Oasarns said it seemed to bias most desirable
that some enlargement should Mae elms of this
valuable local and county institution. but be thought
they had got adrift as to the right manner of doing it.
In any alteration of the building action west certainly
be taken by the Governors—it would not rest with the
subscriber', though the Governors would at course
to the latter for assistance. As soon as he saw that wee
to be "a general meeting of the subscribers and friends"
he soneluded that they were going ahead • little too fast.
I Dr. RHODIM, referring to the roles, observed that
I demon of CIO, or annual subeoribers of • guinea, and
' lbe medical officers, were the goveroors, so he upper-
banded that wee • meeting of governors.
Mr. Geneva/I did not believe they had power to decide
an pulling clown that building.
Mr. ELM asked If the present institution Muhl not
be enlarged so as to amoomodate the in- patients
they were likely to have for some years to come.
Dr. itHODCS said he should this that the architect
had submitted half•a-dosen plans to diffnient meetings
n• altering that building, but all of them proved in-
different, sod be thought it was agreed that unless they
gutted the place and rebuilt it alteration would be of no
essential service.
Mr. ORRAVes inquired whether, admitting such to
be the curs, It would not be better to re-build the
'misting Institution.
MAJoll STEWARD said he understood the present site
was worth more to sell than the new one, It was quite
onathird smaller and eerteinie Much less advantageous
than that in King -street.
Mr. ORZAVIS : I sboUld think that meld not be.
Mr. SsewenD : There cannot be mach more Male
than there is in this street.
Mr. GRZAVIS : I ooesider this site much better, and
I never heard any complaint against it esoept ice limited
character.
Dr. RHODES: I never said the existing building was
disadvantageous ; I simply say it is not large moue).
Mr. ORgAVES remarked that if they bad the sun inn
site, a few additional petieffts would make the Manta
-
ties at crowded as it now is.
Dr. IttiOnis said here they had an c•pectitg only at
the front, in High-street the site was at • corner, and
with everything desirable for a public institution. He
thought Cure eoulil be uo comparison bettmeo the two
suet.
Mr. ()REAVES was of the same opinion, and that the
prerent site was incomparably the beet.
Mr. Toone& referring to a suggested enlargement of
the present buildini, said Mr. Andrews had told them
they meld not rase it and block out the light of the
houses behind.
Dr. RHorite said they meld get CBOO or £l,OOO for
the present site, sad that to ging.eireet could be got
for L7OO.
Mr. GILHAVIN : That shows this is the best Ate.
Dr. RHODMI : Yes, for shop'.
On the Chairman being about to submit the motion,
The Bev. TALBOT GILLAVVI moved an amendment,
postponing the question till the report of the sub-coin•
Medea, with particulars of the various attes oonstdered,
waa presented to the governors.
Mr. Thomas : It will only delay the matter.
Mr. COLIoIL inquired if the property behind mold not
be purchmed.
Dr. RitoDill answered no.
Mr. Suer: And what about that at the side?
Mr. I'Lownele said Mt. Ingram told him he would
sell "at • price."
Dr. Morris : Just so. And it would be ineonvenient
to have two separate institution
Mr. THOMAS said if they waited for the eMornittee's
report they could have no more than be had stated.
Mr. Genevan : You are not tAe committee ; you are
simply a member of it, and I think that in courtesy to
the general committee they should give • written
report. We don't know whether they are unanimous
in their views or not.
The CoMmeme thought the Committee sleatild send
in a report in proper form.
Dr. 11.110 DES said be was in • position to state that
certain members of the building committee met and
made a report, but there was not enough of them to
constitute • meeting. Wm be (to Mr. Tbomiu) not
right?
Mr. THOMAS: Something of that sort.
The names of the euteconimittee weio then mentioned,
end included Mr. Eliot, whereupon
Mr. °Beeves pointed out that at this meeting were
two members et the committee, mob reummeoding a
different site. It was quite evident they mutt have a
report from the subcommittee to know what they did
advise.
Dr. RHOORS Liked if it me not in the power of a
general meeting to carry any preposition that was
placed bsfore it. As the subscommittee lied presented
no written report—
Mr. Oneelga : But no doubt they are prepared to do
so and will to so.
'Dr. MHODLS maintained that the general meeting had
• perfect right to decide any queetion pat before it.
Mr. °MINIS remarked that they bad Po report to
act upon.
The CHAIRMAN thought their coarse would carry
greater weight with the subscribers and the public if it
was taken after receiving and oonsideriog the com•
mitten's report.
Dr. Hoopes said it was most difficult to get a
meeting, because gentlemen mine ham all parts of the
oounty.
Mr. Oaraves m But not your building committee.
The general subecribere bad decided that nothing
should he done tfil they had e report from the com•

Dr. Winn= : I beg your pardcm : it was • meeting
of the general committee did that.
Mr. GazAvss : Why was a 'Raiding committee ap-
pointed! Itecause the general committee felt they
were not in • position to ascertain the facts about
site, which is a matter requiring much investigation,
and is not suitable for a public discussion like thin.
lie wits quite sure that the gentlemen who bed some
from a distanoe to attend the meeting would not grudge
the time and trouble of coming agsin for the sake of
the iestitution.
Mr. COLeok., as one taming from a distance, said he
should be very happy to come again if he could.
Mr. Unitas said he thought the amendment was
onlv made for the purpose of delaying the work.
Mr. °agaves assured them that instead of wanting
to throw the matter over, no person was more desirous
than he that some step should be taken in the right way
—and not in the wrong way--for improving the

iOl-fit7otlon.
Mr. ELIOT said his mind was not fully made up u to
pulling down the present building.
Mr. THOMAS thought if it was possible to Improve
the present institution they should endeavour to do it.
Mr. ELIOT said it was freehold. they had bad it for
the lut 25 or 30 years, and he ihoult like to hare had
Dr. Fox there to get his opinion with regard to the
present building. He thought Dr. Fox was one of the
building oommittee.
MAOIIVCIIS : He woe nominated, but declined to

serve.
The CHATIUIAN: Dose anybody beeond Mr. Graves's
amendment?
Mr. EMT: I will second it.
On the amendment being submitted, Roe voted for it,
and four for the original proposition ; the question of
site is therefore postponed till the oommittenhave made
their report.
A vote of thasks to the Chairman, on the motion of
the Rev. T. ORLOVSS, dosed the proceedinp.

early on the morning of Sunday the 29th ult., some
evil dispo•ed persons damaged a steam engine, the
property of Mr. J. Reader, of Winfrith, standing on
Down farm. It appears that the depredators pulled the
engine—of three botse power —about 20 yards and then
let it run down the hill, going over the hedge into a
1 pmee of fuzee, and breaking two fl7wheels, the two
front wheals of the carriage and shafts. A reward of
£2O has been offered to any person giving such infor•
Mardi as will lead to the oonsiation of the offenders.
