111110tIll to do all in his power to further the volunteer
movement (bear, hoar). The review WU fixed to take
place at Wimborne, on the 23rd inst., and he thought I
it desirable that the °caution should peas off with aim)
worthy of the town--(cheers)- and that treasures should I
be taken for making the:whole affair a complete success,
so that after the review the volunteers should wish
that Wimborne should be the spot fixed upon for
another review at no very distant period—(cheers). If
the inhabitants would only take the matter up and
each on that day do everything that lay in his power to
make the review a mamas, it would be so beyond the
possibility of doubt—(lieu, hear). After a few more
observations the chairtuan called upon

" That the meeting desires to take the present oppor-
tunity of expressing the great pleasure of the inhabitants '
of Wimborne end the neighbowhood, in the selection of I
their town for holding the anneal review of the Dorset I
battalion of rifle volunteers by the Lord Lieutenant,
and in pledging themselvee to give them a hearty ramp. I

adopted.
Mr. Evans then moved, "That in addition to the
public decorations, the inhabitants be asked individually
to decorate their respective residences," Mr. Evans
I imagined that this proposition was put into his hand
becensedlle was an architect—(laughter)—he quite agreed
with it, and expected at least that'll houses in the line
of march would be deooratod—f hear),
