COROPIATIOIN Day—This town presented a dull and
cheeriest aspect on Coronation day. Shops were °hoed
and basinees generally sunended. A stranger visiting
the place might have concluded that it was • day
of moornieg, for until about eleven o'clock there was
no public recognition of the event, either by belle
ringing Of lags lying. Mr. C'hurchwarden Elnr,
however, after making inquiries.. to their silence,
ordered tint the bells should be rung and tbe Union Jack
boicted from the church town. The various attractions
at or chant, Wilton, liaibun Map, anti °Sher
places in the neighbourhood, drew • large number from
the town, and almost all kinds of vehioles were engaged
bloom Bennett and Bird, of Balisburynnet, very
kindly entertained the whole of Una employees at
Bournemouth, to which celebrated watering place they
were conveyed in two omnibuses drawn by three hones
each, supplied by Mr. Eyers and • Arst rate turn out it
was. Amid the hearty aliening of their Blandford
friends the party left the town, and arrived at Bourne-
mouth about eleven o'clock. A sumptuous cold colla-
tion was provided for the party at the Belle Vail hotel.
After dinner the health of bar Majesty was proposed
by Sr. Bird. who referring to the war between Austria
and Penmen, expensed a hoist., and one in which all

treat they had affordedtheni, and said that the friendly

evidence of the nantlial good testae, witching between
the employvre and the employed. Be also expreoed a
hope that it might long continue, and that other beads
of firms might be 'mined to copy en good an nun*.

the party arrived home about eleven o'clock, highly
delighted with their trip, amid expressions of rratibade
