"The Army, Navy, and Volunteers," was responded
to by Quarter-Master Grovel. of the Yeomanry, who
said that he had been connected with that force for 53
years.
"The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese, " was
associated with the name of the Rev. E. W. Pears, of
Dorchester St. Peter's.
Tho Rev. E. W. Pears remarked that the chairman
had told them of the great advantage of competition,
and if he did not return thanks to their satisfaction for
the toast, let them remember he had had no com-
petition for the last four or five years —(hear, hear, and
laughter). Ile should be very glad to see other clergy.
men present, and then perhaps he might do better—
(applause). He begged to thank them for the toast
they had drunk, because he felt quite certain that the
prosperity of ourchureh depends upon the existence of a
god undent4ndingbetween the clergy and the employers
of labour, especially in agricultural districts—(applause).
Where such an understanding exists things go on
Pleasantly, but where it Is not there is up-hill work for
both parties, and he believed the labourers suffered in
eonsequenee—(hear, beer). He esteemed it • great
honour to act as honorary to this aasocistion,

country, .1100 one memo went down to the west to
show how to breed Bonet sheep, and another gentleman
went to Leioester and beat all England with his
cattle, bringing back four or five prise. ; and if he
(Mr. Smith) did not bring hack three first prizes, be
(the speaker) believed it wee owing to his loyalty, for
he did not like to beat the Queen.—(applause and
laughter). He took • deep interest in his (Mr. Smith's)
success,because more years ago then he liked to mention,
when living in another part of the county, he had the
pleasure very often of seeing Mr. Smith at his church,
and he was very pleased on coming here to meet him
spin ; he congratulated Mr. Smith most heartily on his
sucoess.—(epplatuic). He thought that these little com-
petitions at home were very useful. They led men to
set their wits to work to improve their stook, and,
having carried off prises at Dorchester, they went further
afield, and showed other people that in Dorset we were
not in all things behind the rest of England, but that
we were before other parts of the country in many
respoots—(applause). lie hoped they would always
have confidence in the bishop and clergy, and that they
(the Bishop and clergy) would deserve it ; and he trusted
that he might be spared for many years to meet thorn
on similar occasions, bulbs hoped lowest other offirgy.

in returning thanks to thou.—(applaue).
"The Lord Lieutenantand magistracy of the county,"
was responded to by G. Worry, Esq.
The Ilea. E. W. Pears pro pmed " the county and
