slid, that they bort perforce give up the anticipated

more annoying was that they could not co 11111 l unicate with
their expected hosts for they did not know where he was,
1.4 the putting elf the tr'at had l'een 'idled till the

who kindly interatal himself in the matter, planned
what WWI thought the next best thing for the limn who
wanted to go on the water, namely, a voyage to Portlani
and they were afterwards to return to the Club-room an,
have a ieaslinner there. So at hailbpast three about MI
embarked on board the C.ointlialore, and got a frm‘kener
in the voyage to our neighbour isle, where some of them
explored the Ilreakwuter, the Admiralty work% or Chesil
Beach, iinil others noted the free reading room, provided
by the Alission to Seamen. They were to have returned
at half.past five : but the steamer was in suck demand for
rendering assistance to vessels that half an-hour's delay
gave them further appetites, and when they returned, a
little after nix o'clock, • short (line sufficed for cleaning
and brightening up in the lavatory of the (auk and then
they muatered upstairs. Mr. Tigwell, of tit Albans Dow,
hail provided an excellent cold collation of meat pies,
followed by bread and butter and cake, with capital tea,
ler the direction of the worthy secretary of the C.ltih,
Mr. Page, and his ci.•ellent and amiable wife. Tables
kW( been laid the whole length id the room, and even the

(,race before meat was suns first. The vcyrigu to
Portlaal, with a little lier.rii.4 ba,irsg Kith ways, had
made tho men sh3rieset, and though the supply of eatables
was very great, something like a clearance was effected
in good time. Every one having feasted well, looked
after by Mr. Richard Eliot, Mr. and Ilre. Page, and

SEEDS.
The recent rains have created a good demand for
seeds required for present sowing. In white mustard
seed particularly there has been a lively business
passing at improved rates; fine samples are scarce.
New trifolium now comes forward somewhat more
freely from France, the late drought in that country
having temporarily slackened the consumptive de-
mand. In sowing rape seed there is no change to
report. New English winter tares do not yet offer
very freely ; for yearlings there IS a free sale. Sowing
rye is in fair request. New imported Italian keeps
firm in value. In canary seed a further advance of
Is. to to as. per qr. must be noted, the supply being
very limited. John Shaw and Sons.
