has • doubt how he oupt to vote, give, by a plumper
for 'Edwards, the beneht of the doubt to Weymouth's
friend. Sir Frederic Johnstone, M.P., curiously
enough, is more prepared than he has ever been.
£2,000 was offered for a Winter Garden just before the
announcement of a dissolution—a lucky hit which
would almost entitle us to think Sir Frederic is •
favourite with the saint, if there be one, who presides
over games of chance. In the fighting borough of
Poole, they have long been eager for the fray, which
will be to that independent and freedom-loving place
like the breath of life. Poole has been treated like a
worm to be trodden on by the unwelcome guest, and
like the proverbial worm, Poole has turned and turned
again, and no amount of treading seems enough to
prevent its turning, and that to some effect. The offer
of Sir Ivor Guest re the Ladies' Walking Field might
have been classed with Sir Frederic Johnstone's offer
of £2,000, only the Oast offer does not seem to be
thought to benefit more than Sir Ivor himself, and
Mr. Waring will make a good fight for the borough

Wareham we have an ancient member who means to
have " M.P. for Wareham "on his coffin, and may it
be long before that inscription shall be written. The
Liberals have named Mr. Woodward Wallis, of the
Western Circuit. The little borough of Shaftesbury still

having had • sharp fight with Mr. Denby Seymour on
the last occasion. Political discussion as manifested
at the famous old farmers' dinner, seems lately to have
passed over to Gillingham, and we are unable to
pnoeticate what effect the unit of Shaftesbury
will have on the character of Parliament. As
to Bridport, some cavilling at Mr. P. Ralli ham
encouraged a Mr. Warton to knock his head against a
wall In the hope of adding one to the Conservative
mechanical majority : but perhaps the only result will
be to exhibit the determination and readiness of the
Conservatives to snatch sesta. Perhaps in no instance
was that readiness which bids so high for success more
manifest than in the candidates for the spurs of
Knights of the Shire. Within a day or two the
addresses of the Honlde. CoL Digby_ and Mr. John
Floyer were prepared, while the Hon. W. H. B.
Portman, the Liberal member, followed; but the
"Tenant Farmer" so freely spoken of in London still
remained • "Man in the Moon," so that on the whole,
one cannot but fancy that a very sure Instinct, to sty
the least, had led the Conservatives to extra

the jury being 'Committed suicide whilst in • state of

22 deaths were respectively registered. The highest

injurious to health. From the above it will be seen that
this district has been comparatively free from disease.
It would indeed be greatly remiss of me if nothing

benefactors of our age, the Rev. If. Houle, whose long
continued labours for the public health are known to every.

Mr. William Randall, the officer for the western district,
says :
" I have the honour of submitting to you my annual
report for the year ending December 31st as
medical officer of heath for the Maiden Newton division
of the Dorchester Rural Sanitary District, This division
extends over an area of 37,066 scree with • population of
6,440. The total number of births registered during the
year is 144-6.3 males and 81 females, giving • birth-rate of
Milti per I,Wil. The total number of deaths registered
Is 106-68 males and 47 females, giving a death-rate of
1610 per 1,000. Of this number 96 occurred in the
asylum, which if left out would give a death-rateof 1227
for this division. Of the total number of deaths registered
16 occurred under the age of five and 89 above Accom-

uirthis
ly to th•aw your attention to the fact that no
is registered as due to symotic disease, the principal
Causes of death being 'chest affections' and ' diseases
not mentioned.' Of the latter several are certified as
due to old age. In Table B will be found the sickness of
paupers classified under the different headings, but the
number of cases due to measles and whooping cough do not
represent the extent of these =dailies, as so many cues
never came under treatment; that they were not of •
severe kind may be inferred from the fact that no death
occurred from either diseaae. The four cameo( scarlatina
occurred in • family named Hansford. of Littlebredy, and
are the only came of epidemic disease of • dangerous
character that have occurred in this division during the
year. The disease waeundoubtedly contracted at Bridport,
On receiving information of one outbreak from Mr.
Hawkins, the medical officer for that village, I at once
visited the house and gave instructions that
every precaution amulet be taken to prevent
the spread of the disease • disinfectanta were
freely used, and the family isolated so far as poiniblet
During the year I have visited with Mr. Chick, your
Inspector, most of the villages in my division, more par.
ticuthrly making • house-to-house inspection in the
of Littlebredy, Longbredy, Kingston Ruesell,
villages stgeostou, Toiler Porcontm, Bradford
Peverell, Maiden Newton, and the outlying hamlets of
Charminster. As the result of my inspections man
minor matters were reported to you by Mr. Chick. I y
have also on several occasions inspected and examined
meat, poultry, game, fish, so exposed for sale, but have
not had occasion to condemn any as unfit for food. On
April the 29th I reported to you a house at Winterborne
Steepleton as unfit for habitation; this was at once
abated, and the house has remained unoccupied ever
since. On June the 13th I reported to you the waters at
Zegars Barn as impure and unfit for use. The well has
since been cleaned out and the pump repaired, and the
water is now fit for drinking. On September 6th I
reported to you my investigations of the previous week,
and recommended what course should be adopted with
regard to the privy accommodation in Maiden Newton'
Mr. Chick at the same time furnished you with a detailed
report of the privy accommodation at each house. On
October 2nd I reported to you a case of overcrowding in
the parish of Great Toiler, which was at once abated.
On November the 14th I reported to you the outbreak of
scarlet fever at Littlebredy, and suggested that an
alteration should be made in the drainage to the house
and a heap of refuse removed. On the same day I
wrote to you recommending that a scavenger should be
employed for Maiden Newton, and also mentioned that
nothing had been done in accordance with your notice
requiring the conversion of existing privies into earth
closets, additional earth closets where necessary, and that
all drains connected with the highway drain should he cut
off. During the year I have on several occasions attended
at your meetings when requested to do so. In the year
ln I find I reported to you a case of typhoid fever in the
village of Lower Kingcombe, and recommended that a
supply of water should be brought from a spring near
within reach of the cottages. I was at Lower Kingcombe
te-day, and find the family I visited drinking river water,
as nothing has been done. Speaking generally of my
division, I think I may say that many sanitary improve-
ments and alterations have taken place Many nuisances
have been abated, better privy accommodation provided,
and every care taken to improve the water supply aad
render it free from pollution. So far as I am aware no
offensive trade is can ied on in this division."
TEMPERANCE ENTERTAINMENT.
A pleasing union of Dorchester and Weymouth friends
of temperance was effected on Tuesday evening, when
repremen 'staves from both towns gave an entertainment in
Alington Hall. A very fair audience gathered, under the
presidency of Mr. Wright, Jun., and Met Colonel
Bingham very kindly accompanied many of the soup. It
commenced with a piano solo, "Fairy Queen," by Miss
Gifford, who is favourably known at Weymouth, after
whom the choir filled the platform, and one could not but
rejoice ti see such a body of young people engaged in the
good mute They ring with brightness 'Always speak
the truth," and next Mr. D iddrell, with considerable ,
power, recited" Temperance experts every man to do his
duty." The audience weie a little el.iw in warming to
enthusiasm ; but the recitation partly arouse 1 them to
applaud, and after the next piece they were appreciative.
Misses A. and K. Harman played the Hallelujah chorus
slit much precision and readiness, and rendered that
pies with more poser than might hive been ex.
wee I from its performance on one instrument only.
They were of course applauded much.
"Self.deceived" was the name vf a song by Mr. H. B.
Bendel), the moral apparently being that • moderate
drinker may, while he thinks he is We, be self-Jeoeived ;
and his course downwards was well Illustrated.
Miss Harriet Glasebrook's tile of "Betty and the bear"
was very clearly and smartly read by Mr. Holrawoad,
teaching that those who dislike the evil effects of drink
should aid with real effort those who are waning $(111/161
the evil, and not with their 'sympathy" alone.
Very sweet indeed and remarkably graceful was Miss
Edwards's singing of "Silver chimes," accompanied at
the pianoforte by Mrs Colonel Bingham ;Miss Edwards
has excellent command of her voice, which Is pure red
silvery, and she was deservedly applauded.
"A strange bargain" was told of with much demises
by Miss Cook, who urged all the young women to make
their sweethearts sign the sledge before marriage
The well-known duet "What are the wild waves seir
ins r was charmingly rendered by Mines Harman and
Lockett, the contralto voice being *epochally rich and
round, in fact, so successful were both ladies that they
were heartily encored.
"Father Daniel" by the choir was a success, being sung
with moth liveliness and correctness.
Mr. WeilOWA ID the interval, pointed out that teetotalers
do net want to make enemies; but do not fear to do so if
necessary, still he urged his friends not to cram their
opinions down other people's throats ; there is no necessity
for that, for temperance opinions are growing. The friends
who had helped them in Dorchester they were much
indebted to, and he especially admired the plonk of the
Rev. J. Harrington In advocating tent They
were wig sorry to lose him, and ho he would be
prospered wherever be (041 e.
Miss Pouncy prettily played the piano solo "Happy
Land," but it was • trifle too long.
Mr. H. B. Randall very movingly sang "Mother would
comfort ma."
sprightly air, which set some feet moving, was the
French one played in duet by Mr. Rogers and Miss
Gifford, who showed much tallest and power of execution.
Mr. Rogers's comic reeding 'The Shark" caused roars
of laughter.
Miss Cook recited "Not fit to be kissed," with much
humour, and elicited • hearty_ and approving laugh
although she was very short. This young lady, nate;
Cons are always whole-hearted on the temperance side,
and this time she described the disgust of • little girl at
finding her father's breath smelling of tobacco and beer.
Another treat was the singing, by Kisses Edwards and
Harman of "On the blue wave," with all the accomplished
grace that each of those ladles shows.
A Dire MU' girl, Miss King, then mounted the.platform
and very readily recited "The robin's new year, a pleas-
ant trill., with a teetotal moral.
Miss Hawkine's pathetic solo "No one cares for me,"
and • capital chorus, "Hops of England," concluded a
very pleasant entertainment.
THE WEYMOUTH-ROAD IMPROVEMENT.

Letters continue to come in upon us complaining of
the action of the Town Council on the Weymouth
road, as compared with their inaction with realm' to
the drainage of the Cornwall Estate. The letters so
effectively deal with the matter that it is needless for
us to write more than we previously have done, on
what appear, as far as we can judge from facts in our
on, to have been a couple of grave mistakes.
at the inhabitants, if they sympathise with the
complainants, should move in the matter to prevent
more destruction of the trees, and ensure fairness in the
distribution of the Councils awards.

Ipewielt had answered better,although it Poseeseed several
grave faults. It seemed to him that what was most
wanted here was • place for Wats ltd performances, and
• place for recreation—a place where visitors might go
and amuse themselves in wet weather. They wanted a
large hall oovered or Partly covers 1 with glass, and in
connection with that a gymnasium, where visitors could
go and which the schoola would be very glad to make 1134
; besides a billiard table and • racque4court in the
future, and archery ground if there was room, lie
suggested as a site, • part of the Park, from Lennox street
on one side and the opening and Belvidere on the other,
which he considered to be the best position in the whole
town.
: Mr. Z. Mthmthoa, however, was somewhat opposed to
this, as he considered the Park was out of the war.
I Besides that it would coat • great deal of money to get
trees and different things to grow there. The beet site he
had board of was that of the present Park Hotel and tho
adjacent land. Tbe town was extending in that direction,
and that wee almost the only direction in which it could
extend. There was land at this place adapted to be laid
out for • garden and without any great expense, and very
different from that in the Park.
Me. TiastAwtsgr still clung to his proposal to erect •
first-class hotel or restaurant. He considered it might be
possible either to rent or purchase, or get possession of in
some way or other, one or two houses on the Peplanade
and turn them into • sort of restaurant. At the back of
them there might be spew enough for a large ball, while
the upper part of the buildings they might let as
apartments.
But Ur. PIDGEON remerked there was • restaurant here
already, which was one of the best rooms in the West of
England.
Dr. Stallion said if they had the proposed building
away from the front very few visitors would find their
way into it. He suggeoted comp?' irug in the buildiur
some place where iodise might go auil spout a few houra
on • wet afternoon. The site he proposed was that of
Covent Garden Howe, but
Kr. Alderman THOMAS did not think there was room
enough there, but still it ought to be somewhere on the
front. He thought the beet place was the space in front
of the New Darden% on the Beach, and adjacent to the
lisplanside. He had beea told that sufficient space might
be filled up for about £1.400.
Mr. Gime= suggested the opea space from the entrance
to St. Msry-street to King George's Statue. or beyond,
and having the hall above the road arching over the
entrance to the street.
Dr. Sinnott remarked that • well-proportioned arch at
the top of St. Mary's-street would be a grelt improve-
ment.
Mr. (MAHAN thought it necessary to have the hell on
the ground floor.
The Myron supported Mr. Alderman Thomas's mugger
tion as the most e, awnede in a financial point of view.
Mr. Alder.ean Diorites observed they must take it in
ruche manner as not to spill the seem of the Buy.
Ultimately the MAYOR promised to get an estimate of
the probable cost from the borough surveyer(Mr. Morgan)
of the filling up the space and the building of the wall ;
also the probable cost of the site of the Victoria Hotel.

which he was not, and he proposed Mr. IL E.
Waimea,ley for the post. Mr. J. C. Charlton seconded
the proposition, which was carried. Mr. J. II 'skins
was elected treasurer, Mr. A. Ke,y, secretary, and Mr.
Hunkin, asaistantotecretary, and the follo.eing w,re
appointed the committee :—Mesoro. H. A. Lawton,
W. Irerbury,%V. H. Curtis. /I. C. Corbett.A.
J. C. Charlton, G. Pyre, F. Italian', and IL SI Sledge.
Several alterations were nil& in ihe rule.. It was
decided that not less than three general meetings should
be held durin • the rowing eenson, and the 1111 l uittee
was authorig;tl to allow the Thetis to be 1140 I if
necessary whenever the Canteast attn eaullniA galleys
were in use. It was resolved that no membsr be
allowed to compete at a public regatta unleso he could
swim, and it was left to the committee to fix a coove-
nirnt Ilay for the annual dinner of the club to be held
at the Antelope HoteL In the course of ems remarks
on the financ al position and general prospects I,f the
club, Nre !looking said he thought they would be

did not see why the club oh odd not be otroncer this
