difficult to sell, owing to the shortness, of keep. Auctions

upwards of 1,000 sheep on offer. At Mr. Ensor's sale was
offered an excellent lot of Down rams, the property of
Mr. (1. W. Homer, of Athelhatupton, whose sheep have
obtained wide celebrity. Two-tooth rams sold at 54irs. to

Doneusariot I/SUMMAR SCHOOL-It will be rememberel
that some few months ago representations were maale to
the Endowed School Commissioners with a view to taring-
ins about the utilization of the mania school foundations
of the borough anal the eatablishment of i thoroughly
good middle-class commercial school. Several com-
munications have been made to the commissioners
through Mr. W E Brymer, M.P., and we believe that
Mr. J. G. Fitch, who has given great attention to the
Dorchester case, hail kept the matter before their notice
as one that might be taken up immealiately and with
Freak advantage to the town ;lint the changes proposed
in regard to the Commission by the new 31inistry
rendered them unwilling to take up new cases until
Parliament had definitely determined the conditions
under which the work of framing schemes Amok' be in
future proceeded with. We understand, however, that
now there is reason to hope that the matter of the
Dorchester endowments will be re-considered soon after
the vacation, and it is expected that in the course of a
couple of months communications will again be opened
with the Trustees and others with a view to the early
publication of a scheme.
