Colonel Hgersimo, CY.. president of the year, mea

clearly represented in the bill that it required but • ray
few words from him. Under the various heads it eves
encouragement to many virtues which are ornaments to
the society in which they are found. It gives encourage-
ment to good haired., good wifes, good lathers, good
mothers, good children, and he ventured to think that
tree who have really striven, rising la entartir with
their neighbours in the various classes-those whom
he should now award prier had given assurance of being
alive to the responsible duties which their estates in life
respectively entail. When he was asked to be president
on this mansion, he felt his areptanoo was bred more

William Palliser's experience. Again no attempt was
made to cause the studded projectile to override the
rifling, but the committee appear to have h irried
forward to prove the correctness of their first report.
With this view, the gun was doubly charzed and furnished
with crusher gauges, whose business it was to report the
pressures under which the gun gave way. Unfortunately,
the committee had previously pressed these gauges with
36 tons to the square inch, and they recorded nothing
when the second 3M-ton gun was finally burst. Although
It was immediately proclaimed that the verdict of the
committee was correct and the Woolwich system
triumphantly vindicated, it must not he forgotten that
the sister guns have burst in very different ways In
the case of the Thunderer, only the two forward coils were

sorry to say he forgot the blue papers, which are generally

with the thought that our vegetable exhibition downstairs
is as fine this year as it has ever been, therefore he trusted
no greet harm had been done_ With regard to the work
of the society for the year, be had very little to say ;so far
as the prise-takers are concerned he did not know he had
anything to say. But with regard to others, he p-oceeded
to give some hints. In Clain A., in which prises were
given for gardens, allotments, and tidy gardens, he had
had many complaints from the Inspectors of districts
of the inconvenience they were Pot to from • little
want of pains and care on the part of thou who
send in certificates The inspectors have a hard day's
work, and generally two days, going from perish to
pariah, from garden to garden, and It wee only due to them
that thou who send in the certificates should do their beet
to lighten their work, first by giving them the best instruc-
tions' possible as to where the cottage may be situated, and
the order in which they lie in the parish; and sem:oily
that they should get their allotments numbered instead of
it being necessary to go down the village in search of some
one who is supposed to know to whom the allotments
belong, and who perhaps dose not know after all.
Remembering also that the inspectors have • hard day's
work, gentlemen should refrain from sending in impossible
or improbable oendidates. It was &common thing to send
in names hapluserd, instead of going round the parish for
information as to the parties whoa) =Mel have been sent
in; so they often found • woman who said to the
inspectors—" No, lam not going to try for a prig., and I
don't intend to let you into my cottage.' Mr. Kindersley
also instanced • gentlemen who did not send in any names
for competition, and on being asked about it, said—" Oh,
yes I I forgot to send in, but I sent about half the names
in the parish lut year; will you put down the other half
this year r (Laughter.) An inspector also told him he had
been long distance to see • cottage, which be found quite
unsuitable for a prise, and on complaining the gentleman
who sent him said—" Well I wanted to show you the
view from up there; it is so very beautiful." (A laugh.)
That must be very gratifying to the inspectors who had a
very hard day's work, but it showed a want of considera-
tion for their labour. (Rear, hear.) In class E. for
needlework, the competition was very good, and the
needlework excellent; 142 pieces were sent in from 19
different parishes, which he thought was a very admirable
show of needlework, and proved the prises were appreci-
ated in the different schools. (Hear, beer.) Major
Kindersley now wished to refer to subject which had been
mentioned to him with regard to the society's prizes. A
gentleman very much interested in it said "We have now
been for 34 or 35 years giving oda,s for growing vegetables
don't you think it is high time to teeth people to cook
them r With hi. (Major Kioderaley's) natural tendency
to Conservatism, he was slow to take up the idea; at the
Fame time he thought it should bo discussed in the
parishes, so he brought it before the meeting to-
day. The idea is that they should try to teach
cookery. With regard to the means for doing
so, a School of Cookery in open in London: it was
founded in consequence of people feeling that of all our
arts' the art of cookery bus been neglected, and so it was
started to educate not only the Londoners but all the
country in cookery. And this school had made arrange-
ments whereioy Uri land out a cook into a neighbour.
hood, the cook gives lessons in demonstrative cookery—
shows bow it is done—those who look on not having the
opportunity of putting their own bands to the work. The
idea is that a cook should be sent down from London,
visit the different parishes actively in connection with
the association, and In those districts the cook would give
one lesson in each parish school. She would go from
parish to puish, giving lessons to the girls and women,
and poi& ly to the children, or even the men, in the lute(
cookery. Of course many who are in active co-opereli in
with the 'society will say, "I do not wish it;" "Von
well: said he, "do not bare the cook." On the other hand
there may be thou who would desire her help. It is
suggested that they should take the money given in prises
for growing vegetables, and apply it for the racemes of
having down the cook. Over L9i) is given every year for
allotment gardens, Ise— and over £lO • year for prises for
vegetables, and this L3O would go a long way towards find-
ing the money for sending the teacher round the parishes
for several weeks. The charges are .f. 5 51. a week besides
the cook's expenses. £3O would therefore go some war ;
but he suggested she might give six lessons • week in the
parishes and three other lessons might be given in the
same time, whereby money might be gained, for she
would be allowed to give nine lesions in the week, and it
would be hardly probable those nine would he spread over
nine different periehes. If six were given in the country,
three might be given in Dorchester. or Weymouth, or
other towns whence • little money could be got. He
thought the means of carrying this out could be seen if
the suggestion were approved, and if it were, be should
bring the matter before the committee in the autumn, to
decide whether the experiment shall be mule. Suva.
none on the subject be hoped would be sent in, and he
promised So lay them before the committee. In conclu-
sion, Major Kinderaley returned thanks to Ur. Bingham
and the meeting for their vote.
"God Save the Qleen" was then sung, and the prison
were distributed, after which the gathering dispersed from
the Town Hall: but the shows, both of use ilework in the
Council Chamber, and of vegetables and flowers in the
Corn Exchange, were visited by large numbers of old and
young.

INDEPENDEN I' ORDER OF GOOD TEMPLARS.
Tbei seventh anniversary of "Caxton" Lodge, No. 3.402,
and the twelfth of the introduction of the Order into
Butane, was celebrated on Wednesday last. Price. dings
commenced at half-past 11 with an open-air meeting on
the sands, but • rather chilly brute blowing at the time
! the attendance wee not very large.
Mr. Glover acted as cheirmen, and there were also
present—Messrs. . Bingham (Birmingham), Rea (Reading).
H. Rogers and other supporters of the temperance cause.
The meeting was only of short duration, and the
addresses were very brief, it having been announced that
there would be another puhl c meeting in the (menthe at
the Gloucester-street schoolroom.
Mr. GLOVER first addreseed the meeting. In the
course of hie retuarks he quoted the tsetimony
of Dr. Richardson. and other emintht medical men,
in favour of the total abstinence principle. He 'asked
them to assist ey paelie opinion and by individnel
example in bringing about the much-desired end, and
' to outfit in every way possible their repre.entatves in
the House of C mimeos in curying out the great and
noble object whe i
el thee bed n view. It wee, he c ,ntended,
a burning disgrace that Chreti on Eegland should be tl e
worst of all the nations in he matte., and should on
the Sabbath day keep open throughout the country those
dens of infamy and crime, when ell other branches of trade
were prohibited on that daf-
Mr. BINGHAM followed With a sh"et seesith. He errimi
that the cause of the misery awl sin the ugheut the country
should he eeelt with rather than the c queue... and
they would then be able to solve this on emelt. iflieulty.
Give localities the power to decide on the que.tion
whether they would or would not have the Purer treffin
in their midst, for it was serest injustice that it sewed be
thrust on them. Recently at the beeping meeting in the
town of Mod there .•1111 an application made for a new
license. netwitbstanding there was one publichouse to
even. 90 p non'. The application was opposed by most
of the townepeople, and a reimeronaly.signed memnriel
MU presented against it. Still the magistrates deceled In
the face of this to grant the license, saying there were yet

bltewthurnshteorr:Pethsetlocd'ealigtireesattowmthnegil
to help them make the legislation about to be brouget
forward as complete and IV effective as they peasibly could.
Mr. Owns invited any portion" who disagreed with
them, or who could devise • better or a shorter plan for
dealing with the question than total abstinence, to come
forward, and they would give him an attentive bearing.
There tieing no response the meeting clued.
In the evening • public tea was held in the Temperance
Hall, Park-street, which was largely attended. This was
followed by • meeting and entertainment, in the Gene
cester.etreet 'chute eom wh,n there wee • crowded

women who lived to help. Of the helpmeets of olden
times they were not all perfection of conive ; but the
