chaplain to the corps also met them at the Drill-hall
Assembling at the latter building they marched to the
Militia Barracks, headed by the band under band-
master H. Wellspring, playing lively airs. The men
were in marching order,. and looked very soldier-like,
the whole of their equipments being very closely
examined by the Colonel, at the claim of which the
corps were put through a smart drill, and acquitted
themselves as the 3rd D.R.Y. know so well how to.
After this Colonel Steward addressed the men. He
lauded one and all for the creditable manner in which
thee had performed the various movements, indeed
during the whole 17 years he had been connected with ;
the volunteer movement he had not seen the drill of i
that evening equalled. Capt. Hodges 'Vaal especially
complimented on the high state of efficiency to which
he had brought the corps; to have I lone this he
must have spared no time or trouble. The men were
thanked for having mustered in such large numbers,
and the gallant Colonel concluded by expressing a
wish that he might meet them all in tamp, and that
they might spend a pleasant week. On Sunday a
good muster attended Trinity Church, when the Hon.
Chaplain preached them an excellent sermon.
JUVENILE FORESTERS' DEXONNTILATION. -Connected
with that flourishing branch of the ancient order ••(
Foresters, Court " l'rogress " in this town, is an
equally prosperous Juvenile Court. It has not been
established much over three years, but the committee
of the present Court who have the management of its
affairs have spared no pains to make it a success. That
they have succeeded is evidenced by the fact that there
are already over 160 members and the invested capital
amount to about 4:75. But these societies require to
be brought continually before the public in order that
they may judge for themselves of the interest taken
in our rising youths, and the desire to instil in them
habits of forethought and thrift, and also to encourage
the youngsters to take an interest in their own welfare,
and in these societies. Accordingly arrangements
were made for a (Ate and demonstration which was
fixed for Thursday last, and came off with
great edat. It was decided to have a procession of
the little ones and a tea in the open. But to do this
there must be a 'passing round of the hat," and the
hearty response the committee met with will no doubt
I encourage them another year to go and do likewise.
, Our borough member, Mr. W. K Brymer, gave a couple
of sovereigns, the Hon. Captain Ingby, member for the
county, gave a sovereign, and the inhabitants of the
town responded nobly to the solicitations of the com-
mittee. Mr. J. Fudge very kindly threw open his
field near the West "Walks, which he has done on
previous similar occasions, and here the time was
spent. The committee were -Messrs. G. Forsey
(chairman), H. Charles (secretary),G. Milm(treasurer),
W. Riglar, T. Frampton, T. Stovey, S. Whittaker,
C. Cake, G. Nobbs, V. Warren, A. Scott, and T.
Chubb. Assembling at the field above mentioned,
they marched in procession through the principal
streets of the town, headed by the Dorchester Town
, Band, under Bandmaster Stevens, whose capital
I playing VIM the subject of general comment. About
140 or 150 juveniles joined in the procession, and
looked very gay, their young faces radiant with
smiles, and many of them proudly carrying flags or
banneretts. A number of these had been lent by the
Bristol brethren, and made a nice display. Foremost
in the procession was the magnificent banner •J the
parent Court, borne by a couple of the members.
Hundreds of spectators turned out to witness the
procession, and the town wore a ve7 lively appear.
same. After perambulating the principal streets they
repaired to the field, where the youngsters were
regaled with a host of good things which had been
provided through the kindness of friends, and that
their appetites had been sharpened by the walk was
pretty evident, as piles of provisions quickly dis-
appeared, and those who waited on them had all their
, time occupied. However, they were amply repaid by
seeing how heartily their kindness was appreciated by
the youngsters. A number of amusements had been
provided, and there was a very good list of prizes to be
competed for. A large number of persons visited the
0 field in the course of the afternoon and evening, among
• these being the Rev. H. and Mrs. Everett, the Rev. It.
; P. Raikes and family. Mr. and Mrs. G. J. G. Gregory,
Mrs. Care, and family, &c. We should add that the
field adjoins the Holy Trinity Rectory grounds,and the
1 interest shown in this society by the rector and his
! lady was much appreciated, and warmly spoken of by
• the Committee. 1)r. Robinson, the medical officer,
; also attended and made himself very busy among the
boys, having a kindly word for all. As we have said
there were a number of prizes offered, and the excite-
went among the boys as the various events came off
wig intense. The following is a list of the various
L prizes competed for, with the names of the winners,

it was evident they had not been backward in practis-

races:-

J. G. Gregory. The interest this lady takes in every-
thing that tends to the welfare of the young in so well
known, that to add more to her praise now would be
to reiterate what has been written over and over
again. The hearty rounds of applause which greeted
her on Thursday afternoon testified very plainly to
the esteem in which she is held, and the kindly word
that was spoken to the little ones as each came for-
ward to receive his prize again showed that her heart
and soul were in their welfare. After this there was
a ring formed, and those who chose gaily tripped it on
the " light fantastic," the ground being in excellent
order for this favourite pastime. Of course Band-
master Stevens had selected a capital me of
dance and other music, and all went off well. There
was the usual kiss.in.the-ring and other games, and
the whole of the proceedings concluded with a
balloon ascent, the cheers of the children being
perfectly deafening as the "ball of fire" row in the
air. Altogether the day's proceedings were a great
success and the committee and all concerned are to
be congratulated. Before separating cheers were
given for those who had in any way contributed to
the day's festivities, and there is no doubt that July
27, 1876, is a day that will be remembered for many
years by the young members of this prosperous Court of
Foresters. During the afternoon the following pro-
gramme of dance music was performed by the band :

Shortly after this he saw him come out of the field to the

ARRIVAL OF THE DORSET VOLUNTEERS
AT LODMOOR.

Weymouth was much excited to-day (Monday) in
anticipation of the visit of our gallant volunteers to cam p
out at Lodmoor. The tamp with its rows of white
tents facing the old parade ground of the Q.O.Y.C.
and looking toward the sea had been for some days
the subject of much interest ; and very much anxiety
WWI expremed on Monday morning when the weather
was gloomy and a shower or two fell. But towards
midday it cleared up, and by the time the men arrived
was quite line, and the sun shone out brightly in the
afternoon. Lines of flags were stretched across various
parts ot the streets, especially in St Mary-street ; the
l'ile-pier was also gaily adorned with a profusion of
bunting; the New Gardeir, had several flags displayed ;
the lamp-pasts an the Esplanade were decorated with
line fir trees and fla,,a., and the town looked very gay.
Large crowds of visitor,. entered by the various trains,
and the Esplanade an I King-street were especially
lined with spectators gaily dressed. The first corps to
arrive was Bridport, which came at 11 o'clock, and
broke off for a short time, waiting the arrival of the
main body. The Weymouth corps shortly after
mastered, and marched to the Railway station to
receive their visitors. Colonel Steward came by the
12.10 ordinary, and among those awaiting the coming
corps we observed Battalion-surgeon Tizarl, Quarter-
master Newman, and other important officers of the
battalion. The crowd continued to increase till about
half-past one, by which time all fear of a dull
day was removed, and the face of Nature
WWI beaming with smiles, as were those of the
townsfolk, who with,
delighted at the honour
.lone to Weymouth by the battalion encamping so
near. About half-past on”. the long-expected train
arrived, and after -• ,on and near the railway
Oviform, they were :wowed a few minutes before the

The battalion then marched to the Rings Gardens,
where they were provided with bread and cheese by the
Reception t'ononittee, and beer by Messrs. Devenish and
Co. ; there was also gingerbeer, dtc., for teetotalers. The
men half encircled the interior of the Gardens, and
they were carefully attended by numbers of busy waiters,
themselves volunteers for the work. The officers were
entertained at lunch in the band tent, where the
Mayor gave the toast of "( 'olonel Steward and the Officers
of the Battalion," and the gallant Colonel responded
in an appropriate speech. The battalion ra.formed and
marched up the Front, down St. Mary-street, up St.
Thomas-street, the inhabitants turning out in strung
force to see them paw, and thence to the camping
ground. The long procession took five minutes to march
past a given point. They were there formed into
companies as follows, commencing (from the south end.
