among the flowers. But no view of the boat racing can
be obtained unless we push to the front of the half-
dozen-deep crowd, and mayhap, send tumbling into
the water below some of the boys sitting on the
curbstone of the Esplanade wall with their feet
dangling over the depths. By the entrance to the
Pier is a lively gathering of barrows covered with
fruit and drinks, the vendors doing a brisk trade,
while the numerous cabs are also incessantly on the
move. All along, the north edge of the Pier is lined
with the van-coloured crowd, who have deserted the
rest of the surface, although there is a pretty fleet of
yachts to be looked at from under the Nothe Fort to
MacSanders's Hole, and even to the Harbour bridge.
Each has her flag at the topmasthead, and many are
fitted with costly magnificence, which peeps out even
in the appointments on deck. Glancing at the groups
bestowed about in cosy green hollows on the Nothe,
and about the white stonewak of the Fort, we
have one look at the extension of the Outer Pier, for
which the money was so opportunely found by Mr.
Edwards, 'MP. The bay is by this time evening.
shaded, all but a few yachts have fled from the dancing
sea, there are not many boats on the water, and
attention is directed mostly on the committee barge.
Stout policemen guard the entrance to the wooden
pier, duly declared by the Town Council to be
dangerous. Is it for fear of accidents that the medical
officer is stationed there? And how delicate the
attention, in case of accident to the trailer parts of
humanity—that ladies and children are also on the
dangerous pier! Though really it looks as if the
warning against "danger" had the effect of making a
nice little reserved plisse for the favoured ones. "Our
boys" have ascended the lamp posts until Constables
English and Delamont stand in dread of danger to the
Harbour lamps which are already burning out day-
light. By this time the boat races, detailed so
elaborately by the reporter, have come off, and now
the crowd shriek with delight at a race in tubs.
Propelled by paddles, these prim rdial germs of
Admiral Popoff's new vessels make good speed when
the force is well-balanced ,• but let the over-eager
paddler put-to more strength on one side, and round

between tens of Dorchester and Shaftesbory, in which
the marksmen of Dorchester won. It is noted
that the crack Shaftesbury team, who hai e beaten so
many others, have been increasingly unsuccessful in
their encounters with the shots of the county town.

mene sports, pier is
best plate for wing, unless you happen to be on that
lively Noah's Ark, the committee barge, which flies
the blue peter as if she were just off for • voyage. They
seem to have some powder to burn on board that com-
mittee bargo, am! Pvory and
goes off from an armstrong with a startling bang, which
makes the general public believe that something might
could, would, or should have happened. And surely
now there is going to be a champion galley race, or a
contest between the best pair-oars in the laity, for the
Dolly Vardens, the Pinafores, the young ladies with
mortar-board hats (girl-graduates we suppose) all get
as nearly opposite the barge as they can. Even those
tall lasses who wear hats like thaw of ancient Assyrian
statue*, with horns bending round them, all hasten to
see the great event. 'Tis the greasy-bowsprit-walking!
Who can say we are not an intellectual people when
the crowning rapture of the day is to see a more than
half-naked man walk shakily on a spar white with
lather and slocum, rush wildly towards the end, slip,
and after a desperate grasp fall, lucky if he escape the
sprit, into the water. This was evidently the best fun
of all, before which yacht race*, and even rowing
contests paled, and the shouts of laughter which
greeted each attempt and failure resounded over the
New Quay End, and were answered far up the
Esplanade. Behind the shouting crowds steamed into
the Harbour the beautiful steamer Empress, with •
freight from Alum Bay of passengers, not so many as
you would have thought, but perhaps as it was rough
outside, many were exercising the attentive steward.
Out of the harbour goes the Telegraph steamer, with •
lot from the east of the county, and surely there are
, some whistles trying to give The Girl I left behind
me." It all gets darker and cooler, and soon after
seven, the committee boat people let off some more
gunpowder, and escape safe to land.
From the pier the crowds dispersed over the
Esplanade; but near the Yacht Club 'tie whispered
"The Prince is coming! His yacht Formosa has
been in Portland Roads, and H.R.H. will dine at the
Royal Dorset this evening." The commanding form
of Mr. C. Hambro is seen near the Club House, if
that has anything to do with It; but our tale of Count
An having been at Dorchester makes the
list=stelieve they are being gammoned, and that there
is no Prince and no Count In the neighbourhood. But
the Italian Band draw up to the front of the Club
House, and play charmingly, our active Superinten-
dent Is seen evidently under extraordinary
responsibility, and soon a vehicle drives up amid •
cheer. But no ! 'Cis but the cart de virile of the Wey-
mouth Laundry Company. Officials of the company
are radiant in the consciousness that all the buttons
are on the clothes therein, and the crowd laugh
at the sell. It had got quite too awfully dark,
and the lights were too few to illuminate the
front of Charlotte Row satisfactorily, when the band
struck up "The Campbells are coming," and • party
of four or five gentlemen, among whom these neared
recognise:l the Prince, walked up quietly through the
crowd. Regardleas of grammar, they shouted
'That's him,'" and a cheer was raised ; but before the
public could gather enough faith to lift up their voioes
heartily, the Prince and his companions had quietly
entered the Club House, and then the crowd,not
quite certain whether they had been duped, had
missed an unutterable privilege, went off to see the
fireworks.
There was no mistake about these. Some time
before nine a balloon WWI MOM bearing away a bright
light over the town, the rockets hissed, the burning
stars fell, and the coloured fires lighted up the
Esplanade, making the brick =uses of the Terrace
quite Lombardi= in flair ruddiness. The Statue of
Ring George the Third was to be specially illuminated,
for the chest-of drawers pedestal bore the framework
of an apprepriate set piece, a Cutter Yacht. Our train
left too soon, and we missed that; but until the time
when we hastened down King-street, the air in front
of the Royal-terrace was intermittently in a blaze
with fountains of sparks big as geranium leaves,
showers of coloured fireballs, scores of whirling
crackers, or hundreds of streams of golden rain. The
night was dry but starless and moonless, and the
fireworks seemed all the brighter, and when we got
to the station, another rush of rockets and blazing
stars dashed above the house-roofs and lighted up the
place. Up ran the people to the trains; but still
they kept coming, the Great Western train was ever
so late, and the South-Western later still, so late as to
' -se should take ' . . .

At the We inesday's police-court, before Dr. Drew, J.
Milledge. Esq., and H. Raggett, Em., a lad named
Albert Xing, aged IS. was brought up on • warrant

taking with him the box and tools (produced). worth

P.C. Bartlett said on Tuesday he went to Plymouth,
where he found the prisoner in the custody of the police.
He found 12e. Id. in his possession, also a key, which he
found unlocked Mr. Rose's workshop.—Elizabeth Ann
Whitely, prisoner's sister, • widow, living with her
mother, having just returned from Indio, said she knew
nothing about the money, more than her father bed told
her he did not wish to prosecute him.—Prisoner pleaded
guilty to the charge—Mr. Rose, in answer to Dr. Drew,
said the prisoner was not a very good boy. He had for-
given him two or three pet, thefts. Ile expressed his
willingness however to airs him another chance—The
Bench decided to punish the lad, and sent him to gaol
foe 14 days.

After the loyal toasts, Dr. MOdaithan rose and pro-
health of "The Bishop and Clergy of the
574 the

who responded.
Dr. SIMPSON gave "The Army, Navy. and Reserve
Forces," coupled with the name of General Parks and
Colonel Scott for the army, Captain Church for the mars.
and Colonel Steward and Captain listrobro for the reserve
forces,
General PARISI briefly replied.
Colonel &on referred to the recent visit of the Queen
and the Prince and Princess of Wales to the Sunny as a
proof of the solicitude of the Royal Family for the good of
the soldiers.
Captain Ounce was sure the navy of the present day
was better than those of all other states of Europe. The
nation was always ready to spend money on the reserve.
When the time came he was confident they would sustain
the honour of that flag which has
"Braved a thousand teerairem.

Contain 11•1010 responded for the Yeomanry. He was
ears they all had • good opinion of the Queen's Own.
They liked the regiment and he was sure the regiment
liked Weymouth Al the same time be wee sure they
were ell ready to respond to their Colossi's call and would
be quite willing to go to any other town if asked to do so.
(Applause.)
Colonel STZWARD for the volunteers said he felt proud
to be connected with that force. During the 21 years they
had existed he hoped and believed they had done the
county credit. (Hear, hear.) They could not boast of
the deeds of the army and the nary, and could perhaps
hardly boast of the conquests of the Yeomanry—(laughter)
—yet he believed they were as good men and true as any
other force, and when called upon he was sure they would
not be found wanting. (Cheers.)
The CRIAIRJLAN then gave the toast of "The Houses of
Parliament." He expressed the pleasure which he felt in
seeing Sir Frederic present on this occasion. He was sure
he had always voted the way his constituents wished, and
ever would be ready to do so. (Loud cheers.)
The Mast was drunk with three times three. and " one
more for the result of the next election."
Sth F. JOBistrlcuth was loudly cheered on rising to respond.

none the less Ifad were we that since leaving them we
had seen the Prince of Wales.

came there that evening to attend the first banquet M the
Conservative Association. He took this opportunity of
expender his very great thanks to the Chairman and to
a those gentleman who had taken such a great deal of
trouble to form this association. He would like to as, •
few words on what the Liberal Government had done and
were at present doing. When the Liberal Government
first went into power they were told that everything was
to be arranged in • satisfactory manner. Well, he asked,
what happened? Br. Forster, uncalled for, and without
the slightest rare whatever, abolished the Peace Preser-
vation in Ireland Act, What was the result? Why, they
heard of ships betas boarded in open dayal, acmeand gun-
powder taken, the police briar been o to Are on the
mob. He dared say Mr. Forster knew t bat at the
same time he (Sir Frederic) °Petered that under the
Conservative Government life and property in Ireland
were ea& He asked wry they as sow t (No.) He
then referred to the Mob Diatarbusse Bill, which he
maintained was but a contrivance to avoid doing what
every right Government existed to protect. Sir Fredric
spoke strongly egabist the hurried manner ia which the
Wee most important bills, Implorers' Uebillty Bill. the
Burials Bill„ and the Hares and Rabbits Bill had been
brought forward. It wee be argued a rear unfair thing to
try and e rusk" such vital questions through Parliament
at such a tlin• Of the Session. sir Frederic renciaded his
=r follows :—I believe we are approaching• great

wish to see our most cheriahed institutions swallowed up
by this wham* nave. (Hear, hear.) I Say nothing
rebtet the present minister,,formed as they are; but I say this—there is an ugly crew behind them. (Applause.) They are only welting to get into power to attack the
dearest interests we have in Ragland. What do
they care about the Whig ineummat Thiir will say this
to the Government "Goon, and if you deal choose to, to
off, if you don't choose to legislate for what we wish.let as

DISCENS.
Our P.D. say.: "You shouldn't have been in such
• hurry, Mr. Discene Don't you know the trains are
always late on such nights as Monday's? Now, I
waited till the very last, saw the cutter all lighted up
In firework?, and they told me It was the Bloodhound.
Twee a splendid eight, and after it was all over, I
walked up and caught the train, for we didn't get away
till 10. Next evening I went down to Weymouth, and
with • lot of others, looked in at the window of the
Gloucester Hotel, and saw the Prince In there, happy
enough, playing with some ImA:2o I thought were
Ida sons."—Moral far press- : Don't go and
fancy you have seen all that could be, until you have
found out where the P.D. was.

Ragland is tivyroughly °error/vs. But let nut tell poll
that the one thine and vie astaapal thing la your organi-
sation. (Rear, bear.) Witlk good complete and thorough
organisation, I believe victory will be almost certain. but
without it defeat is inevlteble. You have taken • step in

you 'n lal 00 and 0104 Per. Gentlemen, I wish you God
speed from the bottom of my heart (Loud cheers.)
Mr. O. RAMIRO than proposed " Prosperity to the Con-
servative ewe, coupled with the name of Yr. Wait: Ha
spoke with pleasure of the condition of the Conservative
muse in Weymouth. Speaking gertrally, he said at the
present time it behoved every man who loved his Q•ietel
and country MI bestir himself and de the but he could to
frustrate the designs of these "Radicals," who would !
a every institution of the coentry. and every prin-
elbelneL cherished, and which they believed were the
glory of Begbuid and tending to the peorparit, of the
country. (Lupien's.)
Mr. WAR made a long speech in rings.
Dr. Sault next proposed the health of The Writers."

Sheriff Burt.

"The health of the Lodi's" was proposed, and responded
to by Mr. CRICIIMAY, Jas.
Mr. HAPIBRO proposed the boulth of Colonel Seen. the
Vice.Prealdent. who briefly acknowledged the compliment.
Sir TUMMY= JOHNITONI proved the health of "The

The health of the Corporation was. proPemd by the
CHAIRMAN, and acknowledged by Mr. Aee.

This concluded the toast list

tack again, and was ready to go the course. Captain
Stephenson in passing, asked if the Formosa
was disqualified; but the sailing committee loyally
declared no protest had been entered, and Formosa
had better go on with the race. I remember another
instance which helps to prove the Prince is by no
means without "go." When claimed as a capture at a
sham fight after a desperate charge, It R.H. and the
beam" sadrairs under his command wheeled round and
galloped off beyond reach of their would.be captors,
under a supposed withering fire. The proper climax
to the affair of the Weymouth start should have been
that Formosa won the race ; then the vessel portrayed
in pyrotechnics on the front of the King s Statue
might well have represented George lll's royal
descendant's yacht.

--
The honour conferred upon the loyal borough of
Weymouth will, I hope, be properly acknowledged by
the town authorities. Even although is sick
of addresses and would like to walk up from our
King's Steps as quietly as he did on Monday night,
the Major-Mayor and other civic grandees ought to
let H.R.H. know that the warmth of our welcome ts
not to be measured by the weakness of cheers re-
pressed from a doubt whether they would be agreeable.
Everyone in Weymouth is delighted at the presence
of the popular gentleman, as well as honoured by the
condescension of the Heir to the Throne, and I hope
our Council won't let there be any mistake about
that.

TIM PROW! ANT) PRINCESS Or WALES.
It is understood the Royal cruise will last
about eight days, and extend to Dartmouth and
Torquay. During H.R.H.'s absence. the Princess
remains in Cowes Roads on board the Royal yacht
Osborne. While the 13w-chante is in dock, the young
Princes will join their Royal mother, and after the
yachting cruise, the Prince and Princess of Wales will
go to the north of Scotland for some weeks.

Samuel Cook, landlord of the 'White Hart, Westabore,
was summoned for siding drink during prohibited hours.
—P.C. I:herding on Tuesday last was pawing the White
Hart about j.puit twelve, and heard v 'ices inside. He
went to call another constable, and on returning with him
they met two men coming from the haus-. When taxed
with baring been in there, they denied it at first, but
aftererszds admitted they bad been there. 03 speaking
to the landlord he admitted he had served them, and
begged them not to oay anything about it —By Mr. Widge
He did not see any beer drawn or any pots about. He did
not look for them when the defendant admitted it.—
P.C. Irv' corroborated the other constable—The case for
the defence was a total denial that the two men, sworn to
by the constables as having come out of the house, were
ever inside it.—ln support of this Mr. Budge put the
defendant into the box, who swore the two men did
indeed corns to his house and ask to be served with hear,
but he refused to comply with their request. He neither
*old them nor gave them beer, but the police threatened to
make him pay for it. In reply to Sept. Hunt. he raid he
never admitted to the police that he had drawn any beer.
What he asked the police to look over was the fact of two
men coming and knocking at the door.—Supt. Hunt :
But surely you know better than to do that —Witness:
Well, they said they shsuld summon me for it, —William
Matthews, one of the men, swore he never went into the
house, and never took anything to drink. " fismuel
denied him," and because be did so he told him "Well,
you won't have much more money out o' I."—Sy Sept.
Hunt: He told the constahle he'd been to try and get
some beer, hut they wo lot him have it. The police-
men said "Oh, it's not abt a' good trying t er..rn turkeys
this tints o' year." (Liughter).—The other man Butcher
swore to the came .tory.—The Bench thought it a very

The New York Bul!din estimates that the surplus of
American wheat at the close of the present harvest
will exceed the average requirements of Europe by a
hundred or a hundred and fifty million bushels. With
the unconsumed surplus of 1879 it is supposed the
United States will have thirty million quarters to
dispose of within the next twelve months, or a third
more than the whole consumption of Great Britain.
It is believed that so low a price as 2.is. per quarter
will not keep American corn back.

Were the Encombe burglars part of a gang who had
meditated a descent on various mansions this autumn?
High Elms, the seat of Sir John Lubbock, was broken
Into on Wednesday, and the burglars got the run of
the billiard rooms and valuable museum but were
able to carry off only about £6O worth of property.
