%WIC HOLIDAY IN DORCHESTER.

The various attractions at Dorchester this Bank Holiday
drew an entraordisary number of visitors to our
town. Whether the "Celebrated Clown Cricketers" or
whether " Nemo" was to have the palm for being
the best patronis d was • matter of some speculation;
but at one period of the day It seemed as if
either intaglios or Aran/ would be almost •
matter of impossibility, foe the rain descended in torrents
for some considerable time. We believe the object of the
promoters of times entortaistaentr was that of torovidlog
sufficient attraction inside the town of Dorchester, both to
attract visitor, and aloe tn keep the Dorchester
_people at
home. On other Bank Holidays the attractions have been
very meagre indeed, and now a start has been made in
this direction, we hope that on future holidays our town
will be made quite as attractive as other places. Fortun-
ately, as the day wore on, the rain ceased and the
weather improved, until by the time the eh itors
began to arrive the sun was shining brightly. Klatt-
sion trains brought hundreds of persons from Wey-
mouth and other parts during the day, and notwith-
*rending the decidedly auspicious state of the weather,
our streets presen'ed a brisk and holiday-looking amber-
once. Notwithstanding there seemed to be • spirit of
rivalry between the Managing bodies of each of the fetes
nothing approaching a collision occurred during the day,
although r ach side did their best to make their cause good.
The "Clowns" bonded the Italian Bead from WOT mouth.
