Folsom's' Fiume rm.! Soca wrr. —The hail-yearly balance
sheet of Court " Progress" shows that during the lad KU
months no lees than Aft lii. 64. had been disbursed for
sick pay and £l4 on funeral account. This large outlay
has reduced the fund by £l7, although it still consists of
the goodly sum of 11465 odd, but this call on savings
Indicates the need for increased care in the admission of
members, and much watchfulness that those who are ill
are as speedily as possible made well and got off the
funds, The total worth of the Court's funds is
£1921 151. 31d.

originated by the Mayoress of Dorchester (Mrs. D. J. G.
Gregory), which it is proposed to offer for competition by
the non-commissioned officers and privatise at the forth-

rifle corps, who last year received valuable prises from the
Mayor and Mayoress, will long have very agreeable

years an active officer of the corps, occupied the civic chair
of the borough.
