For himself he had been • -inember of tile 2orl Dorset
for a gainer of his eXittenoe, and Captain Farrar and
he were the only two who now, he believed, held the
same positions in the corps from the Lit; perhaps it
was bemuse they did not deter,. promotion—(l.2/6hr).

The CHAIRMAN stated that they had looked out
apparently • blank day, when Captain Barrett would
be able to be present; but unluckily he had appointed
that day to drill the Blandford corps, and with his

mentely pleated to join the volunteers, and was always
hippy when be could stay alliongin them. It was very
cheering to see the strength of the compeny at the end
of last season, and when a further effort was made,

him of another incident. Oro poor fellow wow et-
