DIUDPORT ATHLETIC spouTs.

Preparations were duly ruade on Wednesday for these
'porta and a grand day was expected, hut the heavy rain
of Wednesday night and the drenching showers of Thurs-
day morning made the committee very anxious. The
Dorchester Rine band was engaged, and competitors had
entered from Weymouth, Dorchester, Crewkerne, Maiden
Newton, and other places, so that putting off the sports
was scarcely possible. However at nine o'clock • telegram
was despatched to Bandmaster Wellspring at Dorchester,
saying it would be of no use for the band to come, pro.
viiied the weather did not clear, and the other arrange-
ments were left dependent on circumstances. About 12
o'clock the rain ceased, the sun peeped out, the hand was
telegraphed for, and hope gained the ascendant. The
weather continuing tine, all the shops were closed at two
o'clock, the townsfolk donned their holiday attire, and it
was determined to proceed with the spwts. The first
event came off at 2. Li, only a few minutes after the ap-
pointed time, and was

comfort whieli was sometimes recommended in our
troubles and difficulties, though he Mill not sure that it
was • very good one, that was to look around and see how
much worse off souse of their neighbours were. And
some of their poor neighbours were much worse off than
themselves. The steamer had tried to go down to Bourne-
mouth this morning, but had to come hack about half.

much worse off than those before him—(assent). Well,
he hoped they had haul a plessant trip over to Portland

have notieed on boanl the strainer, especially on such a slay
as this, how important the nub ler was to the host, how help-
less that strainer would have been if it Isad not been for the
ruddier to steer. It would have been • plaything of the winds
and wastes and soon have come to grief. That was just a
picture lof all; we are sailing over the ocean of life, and
we all need something to steer by, or we shall certainly
come to grief in this way. If we have nothing to guide
us, nothing but to he tossed by the waves of passion or
the wind of pleasure and self-seeking, and the currents of
temptation—if we have nothing but these to guide us,
we shall certainly come to grief in the ocean of this life. I
But there is much worse behind; if we have nothing to
guide us safely to that eternal world, we shall make a
terrible shipwreck indeed, and what is more fearful than
the shipwreck of the ininiortal soul. They did not need
him to tell them what we all have togisiulo us, much more
safely and surely than the rudder slid the ship. God has
given us as the guide His holy weed, His blessed Bible, to
direct us, through the difficulties, and trials, and tempta-
tions of this life, safely to the haven of everlasting rest.
Ms-sine of them, he knew, had tried to steer their ship by
that guide, by that blessed book, and had found the
comfort of it ; souse here sin read their Bibles, anil the
mon, they went on in life, the snore they would feel the
blessing of having such a twister as that to steer by.
