They might have differed on some subjects—he I If
had taken a contrary view on several occasions—but he
wished to bear testimony to the great energy and general
attention, and also to the efficiency, with which the
business of the Council had been conducted during the
past year. If that was their opinion, he thought they
ought wit to allow the Council business to pass over with-
out tendering their unanimous, thanks to the Mayor for
his conduct in the chair doming the past year, and that
they felt lie had ilischarged those duties with credit to
himself and satisfaction to the town.
Mr. 110Dog4 said after the very excellent and appro-
priate remarks which had fallen from Mr. Gallen, he had
great pleasure in seconding the proposition. Undoubtedly
the Mayor had given to the service of the Council a great
deal of time which was valuable to himself, and the leaat
they could do was to present to him their congratulations
on the carrying out of his office in so creditable a manner,
and alio give to him their best thank,.
The Mayon said he begged to thank them 'oust sincerely
for the kind CXpreKlli.lll,l used towards himself. He
could only say that he bad done his utmost to carry out
Use duties of Mayor of the borough without fear and with-
out favour. Aim he might tell the Mayor elect, it did take
a great dual of time, and the office of Mayor was **no bed

who had not Willed and homes he hoped the club would be

Mr. .1. Hazel. responded, and spoke of the origin of the
dui., in a meeting of live at the Rectory, whereas now
there were 40 members. The club was going on steadily
but surely, and he believed that in a quiet way it was
doing • deal at good. The refreshments they supplied
were not intoxicating, but they were all aatislied. The
members helped themselves, and the committee trusted to
their honour to way-(heu, bear). He had been treasurer
since the commencement, and had never misled a peony-

all the slay, wanted good harmless amusement and recre-
ation at night For that the club was started, and it met
a want. Many young men went to puhlic.houses because
they had nothing else to do with themselves. This gave
them the very place they wanted, awl he wad very glad
so many availed themselves of it. But it was very hard

DORCHESTER CLUB.
The anniversary supper of the Dorchester Club took
place last Thursday evening at the head quarters of the
3rd D.R. V. in Princes-street, by the kindness of the com-
manding officer, Lieut. Hodges. The club was established
two years ago to provide for the young men of the town
• place for recreation and social intereourse after business
hours, and the fact that there are now forty members and
the club fiourithis, justifies it,. formation and shows that
It met a want in the town. The President et the club is
the Rev. 11. Everett, Rector of Holy Trinity, "'loose
countenance and support has been of the utmost value.
His interest was manifested on this occasion by coming
home from his ambling tour earlier than arranged in
order to be present at the supper, and this kindness was
warmly apprecntol. The hall was beautifully decorated
for the meeting, being bright with the ....lours of its various
adornments and charming by the diversity of garlands,
chains, hanging baskets, and deVieCA, interspersed with
bannerets. Great labour and excellent taste marked the
decorations, which were the work of the Misses Hazel,
Miss Keats, Mr. Kerley. Mr. .1. Hazel, &c., and many
thanks are due to them. At the upper end of the room
was the aspiration " Health and happiness to the Chairman
and his bride," done in three white letters on blue, with a
bordering of fern leaves, alternately natural and silvern.
Underneath were arranged the elegant bannerols of the
3rd D. R. V., and of Lieuta Hodges and Williams. Masuive
wreathings, set off with flowers wore placed on either
side, and the angles of the room were turned with large
panels on which were depicted Egyptian figures. Below
was extemporised a consenient buffet. The walls were
covered with flags and lace curtains and mirrors em-
bowered with greenery had a pleasing effect On one side
the motto was Success to the Dorchester Club" and
opposite the sentiment •' Peace and Prosperity." TrOphies
of evergreens interspersed with bright ft mere and shields
(nicely done by Master K Grassby) bearing one the regal
crown and V. It., and the other a Prince of Wales' plume,
diversined the adornments. From the timbers of the roof
depended flags of various hues, coloured chains were
crowed diagonally, while fern baskets, and ornamental
tlevloev of various kinds, with even the plain gas pendants
gracefully looped with bright chains, made the adornments
perfect Near the door heavy curtains with lace over
them cut off a portion of the hall which served as • con-
venient ante-chamber. Very great trouble must have been
stowed on the preparations, and great praise is due to Mr.
and Mrs. Hazel and their family for the chief portion
of the work. A long table extended down the
middle of the room, and spread with good things provided
bv Mrs. Howe, of Comilla, with • supply of game from
Mr. W. F. Brymer, MP., and the whole set off by elegant
pot flowers from the conservatories of Mr. H. It. Harris,
the font care,sb/4 was effective and pleasing. The
Rev. H. Everett presided. with [snout Halos in the vice.
chair. and the company included Mr. K Burnett (ex-
Mayor), Mr. G. J. G. Gregory, J.P., Mr. C. Keane, Mr. A.
H. Leek, Mr. It. Hazel, Mr. H. Ling, and others with over
Wel the members of the club. The supper was excellent
After the repeat.
The Paratnitwr spoke of his pleasure at meeting them,
and his conviction that such meetings with the after-
dinner expression of kindly sentiments tended much to
the promotion of peace and harmony. In giving "The
health of the Queen, ho remarked that though in this
country the monarchy is exceedingly limited, yet the per-
sonal character of the Sovereign is of very great im-
portance. He expatiated on the good qualities of Her
Nl•issity, and hoped that for many years our good, gracious,
and beloved Queen would reign over a happy, contented,
and prosper°is people—lapplausel.
In giving "The health ..f the Prince and Princess of
Webs, the CHAIRMAN said he considered the Prince was
doing • very wise ant proper thing in going to India. It
was a marvellous thing that so 'Walla country as England
should hold possession of a great empire like Ilindostan
with its vast population, and anything that could be done
to attach them to oar Government and bring them closer
luta association with us, ought to be done freely and
ungrudgingly. Ile referred to the risk the Prince has to
run from fanatics and the climate, and exprewed • hope
that he may return safe and sound, and that all the good
results anncipated from his visit by the most sanguine
amongst us may he abundantly realised. He would couple
His ltoyal Highness's health with that of the Princess—
(applause). He (Mr. Everett) had not had much experi•
owe of tnarrissi life, but he was informed-30 excellent
authority—he would not say whow—that married ladies
as a rule did not like to be separated t.. 1 long from their
husbands —(laughter)- therefore let them drink their
united healths and hope that the Princess would haoe her
husband restored to her sale and in good healtb—fap-
pisitsel.
In proposing the " army. nary, and reserved forces," the
Chairman amid at the Mansion House banquet leading
members of the Government lip detised for the
deficiencies of both army and nary, but there was no
apology uttered in regard to the reserved forces. Ile took
%at to indicate they needed no excuse beiag offered, and
It was a matter for magrztulation. They had a.. vice-
chairman an excellent volunteer officer, and he coupled his

that he was also the doctor of the " Ilusl-of-liope" lodge,

Many years ago, he used to stand almost alone in counte-
nancing and advocating these Friendly Societies, but now
happily their value was more clearly sten, although now
they were not supported as they deserved to be. The
attention of the legislature had been directed to making
these societies as safe as they could possibly he. This was

carried by twelve to eight. "That the plan as recom-
mended try the committee of the Lower House of Convoca-

and generally to restrain all useless expense at funerals.
2. To discontinue the carrying of the body on shoulders as
irreverent, and often unhealthy. 3. To discourage funeral
• entertainment beyond what is needful for persons coming
from • distance. 4. To endeavour to give a more hope id
character in the conduct of funerals generally. 5. And
we would earnestly advise the bearers and men to
join audibly in those parts of the service appointed for the

following Sunday. It was stated this very subject was
