the pastor, Rev. J. Wood, preached a powerful
sermon from the 2nd book of Chronicles, dwelling
principally on the reformation brought about by
Joriah. There are about 200chi1dren in these schools,
with room for more. and especially f r more teachers,
end, 1-d by the organist, Mr. R. J. Rogers, assisted

hymns very pleasantly. The congregation was

Last Sunday the anniversary of the above schools
was celebrated at the Rank-buildings Chapel, where
sermons were preached by tht Rtv. J. Trafford, from
Psalms lxxviii., 7—" That they might set their hope
in God." The sermon in the morning was an able,
eloquent, and spiritual discourse. In the evening Mr.
Trafford preached from—" 0 satisfy us early with
thy mercy, that we may rejoice and be glad all oar
dam" and the sermln was appropriate and Impressive.
The children sang beautiful hymns very charmingly
when they were sufficiently well drilled in the tune.;
but the minister once or twice requesting the choir to
allow the children to be heard when they were
sufficiently acquainted with the music, the choir
I stopped, and this showed the children did not do so
well without the singers in the gallery. There are

was gliedrto be weloomed home egain in Weymouth by
, mamma and the youngsters, alter the perils of the
road. Still they rushed in and out, over the oft dreary
Wareham-road, until the course was clear except for
, the few that had to pack up and make all safe for
another day. In town, ranch and Judy shows, nigger
minerals and foreign beads sought to levy penny
taxes (silver not relused) from the crowds who were
enjoying the delightful salt-breeze-laden air.

WEYMOUTH AND DORSET COUNTY RAOEB.
Late in the season have Goole off our annual races,
which, bald on the breezy fiat of Lodmoor, are greatly
dependant upon the weather as to their enjoyability
or otherwise. N a doubt "noble sportsmen" are keen
enough to watch the running of good horse' over a
sodden turf and in the midst of drenching rein ; but
for the many on whom the pecuniary success of the
meeting depends, the question of weather is all-impor-
taot. Tiserefore, wheala rain-drenched night was
followed by • stormy and drizzling morning, anticipa-
tions were rather moderate, and probably leas people
came to town than in former year*. 'the Railway
Companies announced special !unities I but still the
Influx was by no mesas eu great, according to our
judgment as we might h pentad with fair weather,
and this was the more tentalisieig because in the after-
noon tire rain entirely ceased, And the sun even shone
out occasionally, the roads hardened, and the
Esplanade dried so far that they at once began putting
down some more yellow stuff. In front the bwhers
had bad • pleasant time in the salt ma waves, and as
we marched up the Esplanade with hundred, whose
faces were turned Loimuor-wards, and speculated
what consular flee it was Hag Mr. Howard had belated
in front of Greenhill House, the wading boys and
girls were topped by a woman of mature age, who woo
exhibiting her comely limbs knee-high to &miring
groups. Further up still, we observed the damage
done to the Council's announcement—" No bathing
allowed this side ad the Po.t." It has been smashed
about almorr. as touch se the partition between the
Council Chamber soil the Municipal room, and they
had better tak o animal t 'gather as to whether 'tis well
to put up a stoning post tor the bathing buys to
piactise at. Above the post, young Weymouth is
enj .ying the briiiy without fear of any reguls-
time rie to bathing only in the forenoos, and
fend-ins emitter,s are watching the exhibition of
statuary from the shore. The sea has rolled up
thousands on thousands of pebbles towards the Green-
hill, and they overapread the footpath, so that to save
bout-crunching, ankle-wrenching slips, we jumped
from point to point and so got over the pebbles. Sir
Frederic's beautiful Greenhill Gardens are being
improved, drains laid in, and pates repaired, and
generally they show the watchful superintendence of
Mr. Nangle does not relax. Now gaining the road,
we note the natal features, the barrows with sweets
and pop-drinks, the " Pity the poor blind, the soldiers
and sailor., the rough world.hardened faces that only
appear in Weymouth at race time." " C'rect cyarcl?

of dark water? Here is Constable Andrews, helping
Mr. Macklin to take sixpences from the nos-seekers,
when they may cross a temporary plank-bridge, and
so on to the turf of Lodmoor, leaving the vehicles, from
a chiefs to a tricycle, to pass rattling on by the road,
merry brake-loads of pleasuredakers making the air
resound with eong and shout. In the well-known field,
there are all the great booths tor refreshment of body
and mind, the telegraph, the saddling paddock, the
place where they sit at receipt of etudosn, and above
the great betting enclosure, where the book-makers up-
lift their feces to the stand in search of customers, and
join in • chorus of "cal to one bar two. Our old
