privilege. The Order was increasing in favour, and stood
only second to the Manchester Unity of thlsifellows, the
two societies embracing in their ranks Over a million of
the adult population. The South- Western district at the
end of het year cunsisted of 85 court; with 11,610 financial

meml•ers of that branch, and the increase during the 12

VAS: juvenile Foresters, of which neatly OM joined in
that 12 luonths. The funds amounted to £10,381. The
past lied been a remarkably heavy year for sickness;
throughout the whole order it averaged nearly eight days
per member. When they regarded the sickness experi-
mice!, and the vast sum paid to brethren on that account,
the value of the Order was apparent, and it was seen as a
working-class organisation for the highest purposes of
philauthrophy, in providing mutual support in the time of
sickume and distreet-(applause). The Foresters had pro-
riled two lifeboats, one at Teignmouth and the other at
West Hartlepool; and the latter had been the means of
rescuing II seamen from a wreck-(applause). When they
contemplated the tains of Forestry. and the successful way in
which it carried thetu out, he thought they might alljustitis
ably feel proud that they belonged to such an order-(ap-
plause.)-Bro. Nelda replied for the court. They were roles

lint, and every one was free to enjoy his own opinion—
(apf louse).
The CHAIRMAN proposed "The Army, Navy, Yeomanry,
and Volunteers." Ile thought there was • certain amount
of sham about the efficiency of our army and navy. If
all were known he believed they would find the regiments
of the army were not so strong as they should le, aiol that
the navy was very much undermanned. To this lie
attributed the recent loss of the Vanguard. Ile thought
it was rather hanl on Captain Dawkina that lie ahoulil be
ordered to take that ship to sea with only 10 able seamen,
and about BE men instead of over eal. They had not MO

tic to the work of three, and, that being irupomilile,.the
vessel was lost. lie coneidertel it an unfair responsibility
on any loan to command A ship under Knelt circuit:ottani-ex.
AA to the yeomanry, be wished they could get a few more
recruits, and that the force was more popular than it now
seemed to be. The Dorset battalion of volunteers was
seissiol to none in the kingdom. It hail sustained a great
loss by the relinguishment of the command by Colonel
Manse', but he believed that in Colonel Steward he would
be succeeded by an officer than whom they could not
have found a better. With the toast he would couple the
Earl of Eldon, the vice-commodore of the Doniet Yacht
Club, and bon, colonel of the Inirset volunteers. The
yacht club, started at Weymouth, had now smiciated
with it 13,000 of tonnage in yachts, although it hail only
heen established six months. That indicated what a place
Wei. ttttt oth might become fur yachtang—(applause).
The Earl of ELDON replying Kahl lie did not expect he
should ever go far to see, or be much more than a Port-
Coninnelore. Ile alluded ti, the singular vagaries of the
Iron Duke in first running down the Vanguard and then
first thing eu leaving dock running into the Black Prince,
and suggested it should be put under lock and key till our
next war—(laughter). As to the volunteers he hail hoped
there would have been an "efficient," which he was not,
to respond. Ile spoke of the loss of Cot. MAIISHI, and
eel:mei:wit satisfaction at the appointment of Cu! Steward
as his successor.
Mr. Bova), speaking for the Yeomanry, aabl there had
been • comintssion sitting in regard to their rights and
wrongs, and he hoped next year a bill would be introduced
whieh would improve the position of the force.
Mr. ClagLOin proposed "the Lord Lieutenant and magis-
trates," in a complimentary apeech.
The Earl of ELDON seitionded. It was tell we only
valued what we paid for, and he hoped, should stzpendiary
magistrates be appointed we should value them as highly
a 4 we had to pay therul(laughter). Ile proposed " the
county members, awl the member for Wareham—
(applause).
Mr. 11111111RO. who was called on to respond as a fernier
borough member, mid Mr. Gerard Sturt told hini he
declined to preside in order that the committee might

attributed the mtisfaction given by the magistrates very
much to their clorka and expressed his own oldigations to
the clerk at Blander& He thanked them for their kind
reception —(toast).
Mr. Lacer said he had received a letter from Mr. Stork
who said his house was full of company, and it WU
sessions ; his application to Mr. R.. Hankies to preside only
reached him yesterday, and to-day he hearsl from him
regretting he could not attend. Mr. Welt had written to
nay he did not feel quite well enough to be present: and
Col. Mantel waa also prevented attemiling. The hon. sec.
then read the prim list. Mr. Lacey then made the follow-
ing statement as to the position of the society :-..
. The society has been In existeuce 26 years, and now num-
bers 64 members. In January, 1872, the society, after paying
such pre ttt i t ins has hvi hose awarded up to that time, started
with a balance at the bank in their favour of Ss 15.1 ' in 1073,
£4 test: and in 1874. tI2 RH &I. The balance at 1110 begin.
111114 1.1 the proem year amounted to £26 bus 2d. the society,
mit having given pray s foe pervitud e SHIM 1872. At the
annual meeting In May the committe felt they could go beck
to the former state of things and offer prises In all the classes,
tsking away the champloo prise in ploughing, and Increasing

ocribere grA Is, making a total of 05 les 21. I should state
ale, that if all the prises Ivel been given they would
have amounted to £7O SS I but for want of more com-

year with about the same sum as we had at the commeamement
of the pre-ent year, about e 26. On behalf of the society I feel
I ma) add that if It dive not continue to porper it will not he
for want of that ven• neceseary Item—money; and what is
wasted is more memlbcrs, and competitors to carry away the
full nuntler of prise."
The CHAIRMAN said they must all be much gratified at
the statement made by Mr. Lacey. It promised well for
the future of the society. He thought it was a good thing
to give prizes for ploughing, hedging, and shearing, as it
enu coragel filen to become
proficient in their work, and
asbled materially to the success of the farm on which they
were employed. Mr. liarland had jut been saying that •
tnan shearing a sheep well saved ild, or Is, a head to his
master. But they would not get men to do their lest

would all stick to the society. lie believed Such 11410Cil-

The CHAIRMAN said he thought the judges before the
ploughing was begins should say what they considered the
proper width of the furrow, and also state the time shoed
for the work—Osear, bear).
The CHAIRMLN propoont "The Mayor and Corporation

Mr. Fittsven returned thanks for the compliment, and
wished the Mayor had been there to respond to the tsta.t.
It was twenty-aix years since he Joined this society, ate'

on the secretarrahip of the old agricultural society, awl,
finding that did not work well. it was turned Sato a

declined, lost it was well managed, and he Was glad to lied

this society ho got married, and now his eblest son .scots-
pied a faros ler the department of Woods and Forests.
That cost several thousand pounds, hut he hoped it wooLl

early days of the society special directions were gi ren before
the ploughing was commenced. To-day he went to the

Filliter I" He told him he was. Then the man said he
recollected him holding up his hand when they were to
hmin to plough in the trials years ago. It was pleasant
to he remembered in the way. In regard to the labour
•piestion he 'laid g0.,1 touter. made weal servants, and
good servants mae good niaaters. Turning again to the
matter of his son's farm Ise tail he found the money and
his son the farming -o;ughterl. It was a question, he
thought, whether it was better to occupy under a depart-
ment or a private landlord, lost he must say that Mr.
Clutton, the manager of the Woods and Forests depart-
ment. in the matter of repairs was very tight indeed
(laughter).
The Csisinwsv suggested Mr. Filliter should say some-
thing about the Agricultural Holdings Act.

Several other complimentary toasts followed.

to pervade the gathering, awl the healthy condition f the
