ILZVIZW OW THE TILOMANILY.

Amin did the MUD shins on Weymouth tog Logwoor
the parts in which the Yeomanry were specially int,,restaa
on Friday. and let us hope that in the rut of the country
the radiance was welcomed. No doubt it stirred out of
their homes hundreds and perhaps thousands who would
not have come to Weymouth had rain been added to the
cold wind which blew albeit from • southerly direction.
With busbies adding to their apparent height.
and snowy white plumes making the dB Nino
more noticeable. The band, te whom especially Wey-
mouth's thanks are due for their musical sonear the
shares of the Boy, IT delishted their admiring sadi-
sm.. sad when the .O.R.Y.C. had mastered all who
could he induced to f ju, the sight was inspiring. So
mewed to think the ladies and gentlemen who n
the reginteat, and passed a favourable verdict, even
before
Colonel the Hon. Cecil Duncan, lit Life Guards, was
likely to be near the mane. Off t Wooer over the new
metalling of the Preston-road, still gritty and dusty for
want of more water, and yet more, and ag in the
Yeomanry enter the well-accustomed Review Ground,
where already • marquee has been erected for the want:
of the body, and on the bask of which fruit and aerated
4A-sailers muster abundantly' but not so abundantly
muster the peigic as to make trade very good. This year
the Q.O.Wf.g. are drawn up in the opposite direction
from that we bt.ve slap them in so many years, and stand
with their rear to Freston-bills, and facing Weymouth,
Portland, the Bay, the skin& beech, and shove all the
by which the Inspecting Offifer is to arrive. Th.

far from the °entre of the ground. and Sept. Gal., tkrgt-

though the public were not numerouo, Mr. Barnes might
have found beautiful originals for his picture in short

One part of the sigh is miming this year —the splendid

kelp the ground, didn't arrive, and pa little disappoint-

force fo the best advantage, for they are in Wails rank,

and maims of a kffe Guardsman are seen flashing on the
road, and the yeomanry are on the look-out as if a

as possible, and use received with general salute but the
wind almost prevented the bead from being beard. rime
