friends of the Ridgway Sunday School, numbering nearly
100. had an outing at Wylie Oliver. near Preston, last
week. After luncheon the boys enjoyed themselves by
bathing in the sea, and the girls gathered in the fields and
had rarities sport'. Afterwards they visited the Roman
pavement, the waterworks at Sutton, and returned to tea
in the barn at Wyke Oliver, kindly lent. About 8 o'clocl4
alter • capital day's pleasure, they went home, anti arrived
without a einglemnshap, hoping for • repetition of such a
treat next year.
WOOL.
ON Sunday last the children belonging to this school had
their annual treat. During the morning the appearance
Of the weather gave MUM for much apprehension, but
about two o'clock it cleared up and the sue shone out
with its usual summer brightmai, and brought joy and
gladness into many a young expectant hem'. At hen-
get two the children ansembled in full force and marched
to the church, where a short service was held. The
prayers were read by the Rev. W. L Holland, the (acme
Sinew of the View, and the address was given by the
Rev. 0. A. Hodgson, rector of East Stoke. Service being
over the children marched through the village singing,
and the neat appearance of the children was heightened
by the multitude of flags and banners, the whole appear-
ing very festive. By the time the village had been
paraded tee was ready for the children and the children
for it. They were then taken to the schoolroom and a
comfortable tea provided. The greet number of friends
present prevented any delay in serving the childrea, and
all were amply provided for and well satialled by live
o'clock, when the order warn given to adjourn to • field,
kindly lent for the occasion by Mr. May. Here various
games were provided, such as scrambling, running races,
jumping in sacks, dic. The whole was enlivened by the
strains of music played by the Wool hand, under the
able presidency of Mr. Langford. About 7.30 the children
returned to the school, where Mr. Holland gave a short
address, and the proceedings were concluded with singing
and cheering. On going out each child received a bun,
and they all departed to their homes happy and tired arid
already beginning to think about next year's treat. Let
us hope that next year's treat will be as successful and as
creditable to everyone concerned in it as this has been.
Dancing on the green was kept up by the older people to
a late hour. Among those present we may notice Rev.
0. A. and Mrs. Hodgson (of }last Stoke), Mrs. Randall (of
Lulworth). Rev. W. K Holland. Mr. W. Boner, Miss
Male, Misses Hobbs, Miss R. Dobie, Miss Mayo, Mr.
Netturre, Miss Walters, Mr. and Miss Budden, Mr. and
Mrs. Dom. and Miss Creed.
