SUNDAY SCROW., AiitYlllsAAles are important, a.
trom Übe amounts realised by collection the committee
upset to get ennugh to carry on the work. Tie a
groat pity arrangements are not 10 made as not to
clash with each other. We regret to see from the
hand-billa that the Wesleyan and Glouoseterstreet
(Independent) had both their annual N1T.120011 lad
Sunday, and while children's voices are always appreci-
ated by our ministers, they certainly cannot be at both
places at each manic*, which would very much depre-
ciate their financial results.

Itrruait or Ms. NueL—A our dramatic corres-
pondent predicted, novelty after novelty appears here
In rapid succession. Mr. Nubs seems determined to
mark his tenth autumn season with eclat, as the talented
actor, Mr. Flockton, from the Adelphi and Vaudeville
these:re, London commenoed • abort
meat no the opening night in his own drama, Charlie
Charles
the First," Mr. Flockton, according to the Bath,
Baster, and other papers, sustaining the title role,
Charlie, most ably, and his is truly a 'Dished perform-
awe. Ile will be well supported by Mr. Neelte's new
company, and the play will be mounted regardless cf
coat, 'such sa has never before been seen in Wer-
mouth—with more new scenery front the Bath
Theatre. The members of the company Sr. all fresh
facie, and we shall not be surprised if Mr. Fawcett
Lomax does not soon become • favourite. Ai in the new
burlesque of "The Illustrious Stranger," he with
the other cut will' be seen to great advantage. With
such attractions as these surely no one can complain
that Weymnth is dell, and, u many who have
attended assert, they have been much amused, and will
be doubly go with the next week's bill of fare. Box
pl., tickets, and every iutormation at Mra. Jeffery's
