SCHOOL TREAT. —On Thursday last the children and I
teachers of the Girls National School had their annual
treat in the park attached to Colliton House, through
the liberality of the Misses Churchill. They met at the
school-room in the afternoon, and walked up High-street,
two and two, each carrying a little cup to drink tea from.
The procession extended far along the street, and the
children were radiant with expectancy. After tea on the
sward, the young people thoroughly enjoyed themselves
with various amusements, and dispersed about half-past
. eight o'clock.

CORONATION BAT.—in happy recognition of the 38th
anniversary of Her Majesty s coronation, the bells of St
Peter's and Fordingten paled forth joyously at an early
hour on Sunday morning, awakening sleepy mortals, and
directing their thoughts to some of the blessings of the
Victorian era. The usual colours were also flying on the
churches ; the flag at Holy Trinity, by the way, is much
the worse for wear and sadly dilapidated. When there is
a new church, perhaps some ardent parishioner will
collect enough money to provide • new one.

chizter, had their annual excundon on Thursday last, the

C=l Isle of Wight, was the place of resort. The party

port, and afterwards reached Cowes, where they betook
themselves to the steamer for Southampton, and returned
home by the midnight train. The slay was one of thorough
, enjoyment

GINSWIT'S OM :S.—Last Tuesday Ginnett's Circus
visited this town. At about one o'clock the procession.
representing "The march of the King of Ashantee into
Coomassie, paraded the streets. The dresses were very
gay, scarlet, and blue, and green, dc.,bright with spangles.
The ladies each carried • bannerett. The evening
performance was well attended. It began with two young
boys who rode upon a hare-backed horse and performed
various feats. Mr. Ginnett then introduced his horse
Michaelmas," which would march upon its two hind
legs. The gymnasts did some skilful feats on the
bar. The " Juggler of Japan " was clever in his
performances on horseback. He had about half-a-dozen
balls which he threw up one after another and kept
them all in motion together. He then had three sticks,
one of which he threw up and kept twirling it round while
the horse was going at a gallop. He also had a large hall
' which he kept up in motion with the end of a stick.
After that he had three large balls all of which he
maintained in revolution. The mesmerism WAS very good.
The feats on the trapeze by D'Altroy were astonishing.
Throwing himself off the high Isar he was caught by a
man on a lower one, hanging by his legs. Ile suspended
himself into the hands of the other. Repeating this he
turned • summersault in the air, and WAS caught again by
his comrade. The dorm's pony was very amusing, doin
the g
everything e clown order j it, If he said " jump
away it bounded, and if "don't jump" it stood stock still
spite of everything. Finally all the acrobats summer-
saulted over a horse, and then formed • pile on its back,
till the height was considerable. The attempts and
failures of some of the clowns provoked roars of laughter.
It was raining almost all the dine, and the tent was not
waterproof. However, the company seemed thoroughly
to have enjoyed the performances:

rillCKET.—Kingston Park v. The Channel Spoadran.—
This match took place at Kingston Park, last Tuesday. in
the presence of a goodly company, including many ladies.
The sons of Neptune have, of course, but few opportunities
of handling the willow, yet they made a gallant stand. and
Scott in his double-figured score included a splendid drive
for slx, which should hare been run seven, and was the best
hit made on the ground this season. For the Park club
Hanley and Wilkinson made large scores, the form of the
latter being especially good. The match was decided by
the first innings. Scores :
