to render the off kir what it happily pr.,ved--:s ( c.f set
success. I' kvoured with A gi mi-u. summm's morn-
ing t, e choir, conomitt,e, an I a few friend. •ho have
the caner of temperance warm at heart, started ah mit
ten o'clock on ruesslay fr on the People's Coffee
Tavern. The drive was delightful, the scenery on the
journey being at intervals much admired. litngst-ad
was reached shortly after twelve, and then refresh-
ments were partaken of, Mr. and Mrs. Richards and
Mr. Sheppard having preceded the others, and pre-
wed for any demand that might be made in regard to
food for the inner man. After • ramble about, and
se enjoyable " dip " indulged in by several of the
"sterner" sex, dinner was partaken of in true picnic
fashion, Mr. Lamb proving himself quite at home in
the "carving exer." A substantial meal having
been apparently much enjoyed, the company whiled
away the afternoon by walking, boating—this being
by no means the least important amongst the enjoy-
ment's—and numerous games of old English character.
A picnic tea was *erred at five o'clock, and the "cup
that Mein but not Inebriates" was particularly
refreshing. After tea the worthy hon. sec. offered a
few remarks, expressing a hope all were enjoying
themselves, and that the choir would continue their
entertainments next season. In conclusion Mr.
Richards regretted the absence of Mrs. Bingham (the
mwddent) from amongst them that day, referring to
the unwavering interest that lady evinced in the tem-
perance cause, and concluded by calling for hearty
cheers for her, which were, it le needles to state,
readily responded to in ringing style. The friends
then separated till eight o'clock, when amidst a drizzling
rain—tdie previous partof theday had been delightfully
flea-they nartedln the best of spirits for "home, sweet
home," which was reached amidst much cheering
about half-past nine, the excursion having proved
suomesful beyond the most sanguine expectations. We
should add singing was indulged in both out and home

DORSET VOLUNTEER RIFLE SHOOTING.
On Tuesday and Wednesday last the county shooting
maw oir at the convenient butts at Maiden Castle, under
the excellent arrangements of the hon. secretary of the
D.V. Anociation, Limit G. Williami-Anirews. who was
most eSciently assister.l by Staff-Sergeant Osmond, and
the number of entries was so great that the two first c/01-
petitions occupied the whole day. The weather in the
meaning was bright; but in the afternoon so overcast
that there was no "glint" on the barrels. A shifty wind,
however, rather baled, especially those who were not
need to the range; it warn blowing manly from behind
the marksmen, but would sometimes blow • little from
the right, and then from the left of the rear, varying in
direction at different ranges, and this seems to be the
explanation of what the volunteers summed up in • word
as a "fish-tail" grind. Somebody was cruel enough to say
there always is • wind at Malden Carle. and that it never
pleases; but on Tuesday the Dorchester corps had no
ocasion to find fault, for their team were so fortunate as
to win the be t ilion challenge cop. 8 omit of the corps had
