Taurus/roe Sooterr.—Tbe annual meeting of the
members of the Poole Temperance Society was held
on Thursday evening, Mr. G. Curtis (the President)
occupying the chair. The report presented by the
Secretary (Mr. H. Penny) referred with satisfaction
to the rapid progress which the principles of total
abstinence are new making in the country, as evidenced
by the attention given to the temperance question by
the legislature and by the very favourable attitude
now assumed towards it by the Christian churches of
the country. The treasurer's report showed • balance
of £3 19s. Bd. The president, vice-pre=
committee, and other officers for the year were
and arrangements discussed for holding • series of

In former years.

—is most encouraging, not only to the massagers. but
to all who value a sound scriptural education. While
thus on the one hand the cominittee feel that vivo
have much to cheer them, they have, on the other,
grave cause for anxiety, in consequence of the heavy
debt which unfortunately has aoctimulated, and which
has occurred either through the death, or removal, of
old friends, and whose places have not bees supplied.
The debt has reached £44 Us. 44. After mature
consideration the committee have come to the erectus.

simply a camera for the ratepayer'; that, although
It is now a voluntary matter, it eannot remain so
much longer, unless a vigorous effort is made to
support these schools by all who pay the poor Mtb,
and thus keep out the School Board with all its heavy
expenditure."
Concur.—On Tneadayevening • concert, organised
by the Bicycle and Tricycle Club of Poole. was given
at the Antelope Assembly Rooms in aid of the funds
of the club. There was • good front seat audience,
evidently the remit of a whip-up by the members, but,
as siverti-ing bad been dispeosed with, the attendance
of the general public was bat meagre—shout 50 in the
second mate and a dozen in the third. There were be
less than 17 selectioas on the Programme. and, in spite
of this liberal bill, the audience indulged In that
abominable mimeos, the encore, at the conchwion of
nearly every song, the coosequessee being that the
pleasure of the evening was considerably marred by
the artistes—exeumble perhaps in amateurs, weakly
yielding to them unreasonable taxes upon their good
Wore. Both first and mood parts opened with •
nutt, admirably rendered by Maims. J. Hoskins,
's/a, Legg, and Wills. Mrs. Newling, who sines
prettily and mr•0617, but who, primp, we may be
seemed for remarking, should for • time at all events
eschew the florid. Is • vest favomite. and, ie reply to
cello that would not be dated, substituted other
ballads. Miss Gabled, we were 'wry to bear, was
unable from Moses to apnoea.. Mr. W. Bowles, a
I baritone, was very anowesful, as was Mr. ff,„
reale,ffrawho rendered his bass tongs with good offset.
Mies Come, contralto, pang prettily, although her
voice is not strong, sod Mr. Percy Smith, tenor, also
drew forth loud plaudits. Mr. Left, tenor, is deserv-
ing of the highest praise, his remag of the "Death
of Noises " was simply splendid ; he fully deserved the
hearty rounds of genuine applause which greeted him.
Bach part concluded wi.h a comic song, and whim we
mention that the representatives of this shade of art
were Mr. Stanley Hayti, and Mr. Wattleworth,
enough has base said to 'bow that they literally

" Svoirr."—A correspondent sends smith. following:
—'On Thursday a grand stag hunt took place at
Park.tone. It was initiated by • young gent:eman
named Todd, who has reoantly coins to reside in this
delightful spot, and hails, I believe, from the north.
Mr. rodd is credited with being in the happy position
of having plenty of " the ready." A few weeks ago
he cause of age, and the event was kept up in what
was doubtlessly considered good old Enmesh style—
plenty to eat and drink for the mere askiug, the cow
sequaoce being that the British working man, as
represented at Parlutooe, felt extremely disinclined
for work the next morning. Thursday's proceedings
were conducted on the some style of liberality. An
immense marquee had been erected in Ina grounds of
Mr. Todd's residense, and in this a most splendid
breakfast had been issid out by Host Noble of the
Railway Hotel. There seemed to be no distinction of
persons and everyone who come was welcome, cham-
pagne flowing in riven. It was • eight to 'Atom&
Half of the sportmos had apparently had

about the truth. —ED.]
