discussion has had at least one good effect, in
opening the eyes of Churchmen to the fact that
such things as have been pointed out are taught
by clergymen of the Church of England. Canon
Ltddon denied that such things could be ; he
was not aware until afterwards that such things
were. Of course ; therefore, the great majority
Of people are also ignorant of them, and they
Will now perhaps be better able to understand
the oiler of Evangelical Churchmen at the doings
of their Ritualistic brethren.

Fisrnitit.--On Wednesday the return match between
the Dorchester and the Evershot Football Clubs wan
played on Poundbury. The day was tolerably line, and
there was • xid sprinkling of spectators. Play com-
menced with the Evershot team kicking off, but the ball
was soon gradually driven by the Dorchester men towanls
their adversaries' goal, and a touctndown was obtained by
C. Lloyd-Jones, who, however, failed to turn it to account
After some further play touch-downs were secured by
Mallandaine and Farquharson, but the tries at gaol were
again unsuccessful. hay then became very brisk on
both sides. the ball being kept mostly in the Evershot
quarters, but without any further result until half-tune
was called. The game was then resumed with more ardour
than ever, and a second touch-down was gained by
Farquharson and two by Damen, but none of these were
converted into goals. Shortly before the clime of the imme
a goal was kicked for Dorchester by C. Lloyd-Jones, but
was not acknowledged until after much altercation.
Brown, Parke, Andrews, and Fudge also played well for
Dorchester. Turgnam, Harvey, and Burt very good
service for Evershot, and Stancondie for the latter club,
gave early promise of bechming a first-rate player. In
Justain to the Evershut team it sit be obeervisl that they
played one nein short for the first half of the game, and
that two of their men left the ground before the gaol was
obtained by Dorchester.

Pnessurrarios.—A by no means unimportaat element
In the sIICCOas of the Doreheater Vocal Association has
been the efficiency of the accompanists and particularly
of Mao M. W. Lock, the pianist, who has en sedulously
and admirably taken part in the weekly practices, under
the direction of Mr. Beyton Smith As we intimated in
our aOliCe of the lad concert, Miss Lock Is about to go to
the Royal Academy of Musk., and the members thought
the occasion opportune for acknowledging her really *ra-
vine' since the year Pl7l, by some little present. A coin.
nate° was funned, •bo thought it best the solve-rim
Gen should be small. AU the members present
and past, cordially approved the tostimon• and
when the funds were collected it was decided
to consult bibs Lock as to the kind of present she
would like This seems a very wise thiag to do. She
chose a locket, and a very elegant gold one was obtained
Irons Massa. Saunders and Jacob's, Dorchester. It is of
large sin, and has on one side Mice Lock's initials
enchant within • wreath in high relief, and on the
reverse the following inscription beautifully engraved mid
artistically ; " Presented to Mary Wills Lock by
the members of the Dorchester Vocal Association,
January 11, lea" The formal presentation was ioada
at a meeting of the members in the Holy
Trinity Infant sc.hoolreimo on Monday peening, when there
was a intsuaroUS attendance. Mr. Herbert W. Hodges re-
marked upon the loss the association would sustain by the
temporary removal of Miss Lock from Use town, sod
thanked her for the valuable assistance she lice 440 long
remlerod to them. Her being about to leave gave rise to
a wish amongst the members to offer her some token that
they appreciated the help she had JOYeU as accompanist;
and he mentioned the unanimity with which the members
joined in the Mstimouial. In their behalf ha asked her
acceptance of the locket which hail been purchased, and
wished her happinase and success in London. (Applaus.)
The Rev. Walter Lock, in a neatly turned speech, acktonvi
bodged the present on behalf of hie cousin, Muss Lock,
In the absence of her brother from the WW2., lie desired
to thank them vary much for their kindness The work
was voluntarily undertaken by her, and she felt amply
rewarded by the practices and the concerti, which afforded
her real pleasure. At the saute time it was very gratify-
ing to have one's efforts acknowledged, and their present
she would highly value. Wherever she went she would
have pleasant recollmtions of the association; and at any
time in the future when she was ill Dorchester and die
engaged the would be happy to give them every assistance
In her power. In his cousin's name he thanked them
moat heartily for their kindness.
MAsT FOILDINOTON SCHOOL Roes—The large School-
room of this pariah presented a very bright and lively
aspect on two occasions lately. On Thursday, the 7th inst.,
the enamel meat was given to the Sunday School. Nearly
or quite NO scholars sasetubled, ranging in age from Ave
to seventeen; and • goodly number of teachers and other
friends were on the spot to thaisaire and entertain. The
large numbers produced no uneemliwthble crowding, for
the very successful enlargement of the hthoolreorn, com-
pleted a year ago, provides not only maple space but the
convenience of a double room ; the old schoolroom tonging
ap=souter chamber and the new room an almost equall y
Inner one; the two connected by wide open arch-
ways. By Meet 1.30 the whole company were present;
and after singles arms the serving of ten cake, and buns,
went on vary actively, superintended by Mrs. Motile. (who

and that the scholars to their very great credit met
the disappointment when the reason was irstilainai with
thorough cheerfulness and ipsol will. Let Thumlay,

Holt' Tazvny Isiyawr ScHooL—Tbe children attending
this excellent school had a happy time of it last Thursday
afternoon, when they enjoyed the del4lits of •
Ghristnias tree, and sundry toothsome delicacies dear to
young appetites. The entertainment was originated, we
understand.. by Miss Oldliekl, but, once suggested, there
were 'wee)* ladies in the Pariah and the Rector ready to
assist in the goal weekoujd they contributed a lame
number of really useful and valuable garments, as well
am toys for immediate pleasure and il.truction. Amonspit
the ladies; taking part were blip. (ildrield, Miss (oombs.
co.h., Mrs. Burnett. !dm
Hodges, the Misses the Misses Penton. Mrs.
Spicer. Miss Symonds, Mire Einses, the Misses Lord, Mr&
Vatcher, Miss Hopekirk, de The room was neatly
decorated. The school clock was vrreatlaml with
.Fra..nerY
and flowers, indicative of the merry hours. A Christmas
tree eertlPied the centre of the room, and was laden with
tlet weetas jackets, Piandores, capes, &c., &c., the
whole being illuminated by Chinese lanterns and wax
, tapers. There were numerous wreaths upon the walls,
and several mottoes, done in laurel leaves on white, with
a leafy border, including" Welcour," "Success to this
School,' " A happy Nee year,' while a variety of
miniature flee .aaia to the gaiety of the scene. The
happy party began to assemble at four o'clock, and the
little 011eal came or were brought front quite long distances,
notwithstanding the rain and the slush. All looked
their hest and brightest. Most of the ladies we have
named were present and a few other persons, including
of course the Rector (Rev. H. Everett), the two church-
wardens, Mr. R. Davis, and Mr. E. Burnett (Mayor), Mr.
J. F. Hodges, ju ,nr. Mrs. Shaw (Came), ,tc. The school-
mistress (Mies Salisbury) with her pupil teachers—Louisa
Gould, Carrie Voss, and Annie Bye—were present,
marshalling the children, leading their singing, and so
! forth. When all had arrived, the children sang some
Christmas carols very pleasingly, as well as some songs
with imitation exercises, such as "The humming bee,"
which the youngsters imitated with the power of a very
lively hive, to their own no small eratilication, as well as
the wondering amusement of such of the visitors to whom
this new style of school instruction and amusement was
a novelty. "The winds" wen, also admirably imitated
In a variety of forces, and they certainly outdid with their
united voices many • theatrical device for raising a storm.
The Rector then briefly and simply addreeled the children,
telling them the bettersuost of the presents would be given
to those who had been the best behaved and had attended
school the meet regularly. He hoped these gifts would
lead them to come every day to school, and to try and do
their best Meantime they owed many thanks to the kind
ladies who had provided these good things for them. The
distribution of the articles, and the toys, and the sweets
followed, every child getting something of each kind.
Pleasure beamed in every face, and all were radiant with
happiness. Some of the top soon came to grief, for there
were inquiring ntinds anxious to know the why and where-
, fore, and toys, like many oil bohiess, won't hear very
severe testa. But some were treasured up t carefully
Particularly by the girls, yet they were ready to display
their treasures to any interested, and even to invite one
to have a blow at a whistle, particularly if the little sues
could not make it sound herself. After a veil at thi, fun,
there was a scramble for meets and nuts, and so fortl4
and the merriment was most exhilarating. A musical
box, lent by Mr. Charlie Greening, played some tunes
very sweetly. The children then sang a school song, with
some lines adapted to their own. After all this play they
were ready for some work, and Mrs. Burnett had kindly
provided it in the shape of a huge pile of famous buns,
from which every child received one, and there were
extras for such as could zuve*re a double share. Mrs.
Hedges and Miss Helges played • duet on the pianoforte,
the lively music setting the little ones all in motion.
After more singing their friends bean in coming to take
them home, so the party broke up, but before leaving each
child received an orange from Mrs. Burnett, the Mayoress
distributing them herself. It wan a highly successful
party, and no doubt the enjoyment afforded amply repaid
the ladies who so kindly interested themselves in providing
the entertainment

110IY TRINITV C1111(4'11. -A vestry meeting was held at
Holy Trinity church on Therelay !limning, te coneider
sign a petition for a faculty for the pro's oed re beildisig
a the church. The Rector (Rev. H. I.verett)
and there were present-Mr. X Davie and Mr. X Burnett.,
churehwerdens ; Mr. A. Spicer, Mr. Hawkins, Mr. J. F.
Hodges._ junr., Mr. A. Atkins, Mr. J. Mil., Mr. W. H.
Goffid, Mr. G. Churchill, with Mr. Henry Simonds, on
behalf of Colonel Henning. and Mr. Galpin in reference to
the affecting of his intersens by We prop eel works. The
Rector read the notice and the petition, which set forth
that the estimated cost of the re.buibling is 44000 of
which i:2,O1.10 have been subscribed, and the remainder it
is confidently expected will be raised by further donations
and subscriptions. The population of the parish at the last
census WM 1,1L.5, and the present church i ides BSI
sittings, of which III) are free. Ily the presmved enlarge-
bent and re-arrangement of seats els, sittings will be
obtained, of which 1113 will be free suet unappropriated,
and el provided in a gallery for the school children. It
concludes by baking the Bishop to auth 'rise the Rector
and Churchwardens to execute the worke propmed.-Mr.
Burnett desired to explain why a vestry was called. Ile
did not think it was at all necessary, but he thought it
hest to have one in order to give any parishioner or other
person in lute way aggrieved an opportunity of speaking
on the subject, lie had had memo GOIIIIIIUIIiCALii,II with
Mr. Symonds who, on behalf of Colonel Henning, wad
anxious to preserve Ins (the Colonel.) right., with regard to
the sittings appropriated to his family and the From'
people in the preyed church in lieu of Ws aisle in the old
one, He (Mr. Burnett) was not prepared to say whether
Colonel Henning had any rights or not, but Mr. Davis and
himself as churchwardens load no evidence of any, and he
bad looked through the books with • view to ending it.
(Mr. 11. Symonds said it wee a right by custom), No
doubt whoa the old church was pulled down ma the
Promo aide done away with, the Henning family occupied
the seat next the Corporation pew and two lower down for
servants, and they were atlW the Frome sittings, but
there was soothing in either the vestry or the pew leek
appropriating them-Mr. Davis said in the pew Islek
those sittings were carried out blank ; and he stated that
In Pitl, the landowners-Mr. Henning, Mr. Cull, the
Churchills, and the Rector-claimesl seats. Ile wax present
at the Line.-Mr. Burnett said if Were were any vested
right., it would be their duty to recognise them in the
new church. He would propose " That the petition for
the faculty be signed, and that all vested rights of
parishioners and ethers, being proved, be reserved in the
erection of the new church." -Mr. 11. Symonds said Col.
Henning would prefer the mention of the reservathm of
his rights in the faculty.-Mr. Davis thought they could
not do that without proof.-The Rector ougguitiel the
claim was by prrecriptiou ; and it waa said, 50 year.'
pomesion. -Mx. Burnett sugg.t.l it might have bees lest
non-user. -Mr. H. Symouds said it might save litigation
if it were nientioned in the faculty-Mr. Burnett declined
to put it in the faculty, but said any rights would be
reserved-Mr. Davis said the aisle in the old church was
not exclusively occupied by the Frome people, and mimed
several other fatuities who sat there-Mr. Hodges sup-
posed the Freon people 1111ffe IA the same position as other
parishioners in the matter.-it was said there used to be
a church at Ironic Wlittield, and when that went the
pouple were accommodate! at Holy Trinity in an aisle,
and that being 1,0110.1 down seat* were given them in the
premut church. The Rector said no doubt the church-
wardens would reserve for them the eame number a
sittinge and the same rights as they now have. -Mr.
ISuruett remarked that a resolution if the vestry reserving
rights "'mid to, stronger evidence than mention in a
faculty.-Mr. 11. Symonds said he mime.' the resolu-
tion would be sufficient, but., of course it would not
preclude any stele Mr. Symonds might think necessary. -
ler. Burnett, noticing Mr. Balpin present, said he was
sorry he had left the perish; he had come with regard to
his windows claiming non-interference with them as
ancient lights,-The Rector said he believed they were
reelecting them.- Mr. Galpin sad of course he had no
right to speak but the Rector and Churchwardens said
they were very glad be had come, and hoped he would
speak freely.-Mr. Galpin said lie was much struck with
Mr. Buructes remark,' about reserving existing righta in
the church, and he hoped they would be no less mind! el
of the rights of those living near.-The Rector said the
subject had always bees before the committee in getting
plans-Mr. Galen said by the courtesy of Mr. Btuisett he
bad seen the plena, and be was advised that if the build-
ing was so carried out it would inflict on the adjoining
property • serious amount of injury. The building would
come neater than anything proposed before He thought
it courteous to attend the vestry, and tell them the course
he intended to take, so that hereafter they could not say
li,, was captious and had done anything without warning.
11, did not want to frustrate any wee' design, and should
be willing, if there was no interference, to assist; but he
warned them that if the works carried out seriously inter-
(erred with the occupation of the adjoining premises, he
should he le,und under his agreement with the tenants to
take the necessary legal steps to oppee them He, there'
fur; smegeste,l careful consideration of the matter before
• faculty inis applied for, as he should be sorry to spend
his Money and nut the parish to expense about it. Ile
Isle advised that at present the carrying out of the plans
would be highly prejudical to hie iuteresta -The Rector
said the subject Im.) been continually pressed upon Mr.
Ferry (the architect), and he assured him (the Rector) that
the building would not climibisa his (Mr. (lalpin) light at
all-that there were means now, by reflectors and so on,
to prevent the light being diminished in the least. -Mr.
GatPtu said they must not flatter thenmelove that any
artificial means could be substituted for the natural light
that was now obtained. The church would project some ;
20 feet further into the churchyard, be directly opposite
the principal windows, and only 13 or II feet from the
house. -lieference to the plan showed the distance to be '
about 1,1 feet.-Mr. Hodge* questioned the expediency of
signing the petition 1,, the fens of what Mr. Galpuo had
said; and others in the vestry coincided in this view.-
Mr. DO.Vill .I.lggedod an arrangement with Mr. Capin,
