THE Now TOWNHALL AND COM! EX/MANOR AT

old-fashioned town of Ringwood and probably there
has not been so much bustle, sue timed and festivity titers for a century or two pest. The streets looked
like soma fairy garden ; Indeed, from the reilway
station to the Munk, nearly every house was gaily decked with greseneel, fine, mottoes, ito. The roe&
were spanned with numerous &mhos, some of which
were most eleborately decorated. There were cordons
of evergreens suspended between dozens of houses.
numerous strings of floral and evergreen devices, mid scores of mottoes The flags included apotommio from
all parte of the world, from the double-beaded eagle of
Imperiel Ramie to the insignificant loolring ensigne of
petty German States; and, as though WIN were nob
saffisient, there were ship =' by the bandits& Ms,
and even bits of ooloured scalloppefi resod the

were as inissallaneous he they madly are on comb

the Lady of the Manor." They may have meant
either, or, indeed, all. The averners and doted
decorations are simply indenritiabla ; it would pussies

The bells rang right merrily at frequent intervals
throughout the day, and the band of the Volunteer
Engineers, from tiouthampton, played • splendid
selection of muse In the Market-place. The harmony
of bred and bele however, was frequently interfered
with by tha alienating row whin a tend of roving
Germans made on instruments that ought to have been

residents had "open houses" for the day. In short, it
seemed to be a day ef gental joy and rejoising.
