A BRANCH OF TIII: U. K. ALLIANCE FOItMED.
On Friday evening lase, the members of "hope of Wey-
mouth " Good Templars' Lodge hail meetings at the room,
to promote temperance Legislation. They commenced
with a conference announced to be at six o'clock, but this
turned out to be %Yeysuouth time, whereby half-an-hour
was lost in waiting.
The Rev. W. Lewis, who had attended punctually, was
appointed to the chair, and he, also the Rev. E. Bolton,
Mr. Owen, and Mr. Glover, of the United Kingdom
Alliance, and others spoke on the Penuissive Bilk the
principles of which were ably explained by Mr. Owen.
hlr. Bolton stated, in reply to the exhortations of the
Alliance friends to make the Permissive Bill the test
question for canaidato for Parliament, that he would
make the religious equality question the first test, and the
Permissive Bill the second, if ever they should clash
which was very unlikely. Resolutions werepassoi
forming a branch of the Alliance for Weytuouth, wills the
Rev. E. Bolton (president), and the Rev. T. Greaves,
and other ministers (vice president). A comtuittee was
named, who will elect their secretary. It WAS also
resolved that ths auxiliary be requested to make arrange-
Lomita for a canvass of the town, to obtain signatures to •
petition in favour of the Permissive Bill. It was remarked
that the present House of Commons had not yet been
petitioned from Weymouth in favour of the Bill. The
resolutions being all passed unanimously and the branch
thus started, in reply to • request for suggestions, one of
the audience asked Mr. Owen wtether the Alliance would
not be likely to get an instalment of what they wanted
rather earlier than the whole Bill! At present the whole
Bill would give to two-thirds of the people of a district
the power of refusing all the licenses in the district.
Would it be well to add to say " the whole or any " of the
licensest This, if passed, would have the effect of at the
first licensing meeting closing some of the most abomin-
able of the public-houses, perhaps from four to six in
Weymouth, which evidently curse the neighbourhood
where they are situate, but which the magistrates still
continue to license. Mr. Owen said the Alliance would
not accept anything that would make thous a licensing
committee, they went for immediate and total prohibi-
tion ; but they would be glad of any instalment that I
might be obtained by the efforts of °t hem, as they were
already glad of the Sunday Closing Bill. Two or three
said Usat if the Alliance went for total prohibition or I
nothing, we may wait for generations before they succeed.
Another Alliance luau stooks:4 whether the worst public-
houses were those evidently bask or the "whited sepul-
chres" which are outwardly conducted in is respectable
way.
The conference closed with a vote of thanks to the Rev.
W. Lewis, chairman.
In the evening a public meeting was announced, and,
warned by the waste of time before the conference. some
did not attend till a few minutes after the time announced.
Oddly enough, this meeting semusto have begun promptly,
and therefore we cannot give the chairman's speech. A
standard of time is sadly wanted in Weymouth, sousetimoi
a quarter of an hours grace is allowed and sometimes
half an-hour.
The Rev. E. BOLTON was In the chair, and opened the
meeting.
Mr. OWENS said they had about 124 wiles of publichouses
in Manchester, and if they took on an average £1 spent In
them iser day, they would have 4:1,7:k1,T.5) spent stony
year. They could not imagine what a million of moncy is;
but let them take the 1:5,131) spent by .lay. Fifteen
sovereigns placed on each other makes an inch, and this

spent staily in Manchester on an article worth nothing at
all. bat is the remedy Ile had been 51 years a
teetotaller, or all Isis life, and he had got ,es well without
it. A brother tried it a month, found himself better, went
on three mouths, better *till, and then went for twelve
months, and found himself so well that he joined for his
lifetime. A gentleman saw a drunken man on the pave-
ment, west across to bins, and advised him to sign the
pledge. The man said "Are you a teetotalism r Ile
replied "No.' Then saki the loan "Just mind your own
business." But the gentleman had • large heart;
he went
to the man and said " If you'll sign the plolge. I will.
EMI replied the wau "Then I will, and he signed and
kept the pledge. The question touched us as ratepayers ;
he knew a woman who was sent to prison 1•211 times, being
kept at the cost of the ratepayers all the time. Its Salford

tend with the evil they had the tetuperance society, the
Bands of Hope, yet there is as much drunnkenness going
on as ever. When he thought of the glorious army of
Good Tempters, it seemed they were so Strimig as
to overcome it; but last year 1:111,0tO,000 were spent
in intoxicating drinks, or an excess of likikakiali,
over the previous Year. They wanted the power °'
granting licenses or no to be put in the hands of
the people, and not of the magistrates, and they tuust
organkte, awl make it • voting question. So long •
the people could throw up their caps, teetotalers will find
people saying " Our sympathies are with you'" but they
must WAS let the members of Parliament see that they
can vote. A working man asked Mr. Btogden, • candidate
for Wednesbury. whether • public-house put opposite his
property would lacrosse it. t Mr. Broaden admitted
that it would knock off perhaps £lllO from the value of a
SAO or .t 51.111 house. " %Yell then," said the non, " haven't
I a right to say whether I want • public-house opposite it
or not ? " Mr. Brogden admitted that behest, and he was
converted to the Permissive Bill. He urged voters to put
their country before their party, and cagy to vac for per.

amusement in Weymouth, and on the healthiness of the
exercise. When seeking a site for a new boat house, they
bad been met in a handsome manner by their worthy
member. Sir Frederic Johnstone, who had not only
increased his annual subscription to sufllcient to pay the
ground rent for the new house, hut had also given L'2o3

NE.W 111qATHOUSE:

Mr. THOMAS state,fibit'ile;ninZttee wanted to raise
about .ClOO. An arrangement had been made, for which
the club was greatly indebted to Mr. Nangle, whereby a
sub lease of part of the shipyard had been granted to the
club for the site of • boathouse, with free seams.
Mr. GROMS said Mr. Nangle had kindly spent a good
deal of time in drawing a plan for a new building. and he
considered one would not cost much less than £llO.
Mr. NANGLE said the concrete nos might be omitted
from his plan at present, and that s-null reduce the
expense to C.lO. He had referred the qu-stion of she to
Mr. Rolls, who conaidered that a width of less than
would be of no tape to the club. A woolen building would
always be requiring repairs: but the building proposed by
himself would be a substantial one, which would last out
the term of the lease.
The MATOR said it would be moat desirable to put up •
building which would last the full term of 20 years.
Mr. RODERTAOH. jour., suggested borrowing the money.
In a boat club he was connected with, they expended
1:010, which was borrowed from friends. The young men
in Weymouth were constantly shifting, and it would he
unfair to expect their club as at present existing, to bear
the cost of the boat-house.
The MATOR said if the lease restricted the building to
Boat Club purposes, there would be no security for the
loan.
Mr. NANGLE said the building was restricted to a boat-
house for the Club.
Mr. ROHERTSON replied that part of the money might he
borrowed from friends of the club, a. much as possible
being raised by subscriptions.
Mr. ('noss thought De might easily be raised.
Mr. J. C. Rotes had been given to understand Icy an
intimate friend of Mr. Edwards, M.P.. that he would
give the same amount as Sir Frederic Johnstone—lgreat
applause).
The Maroa said their experienoe of Mr. Edwards was
that be WAS never second to anybody —(ranewed applause).
Mr. It. THOMAS thought that, after raising as much as
possible by subscriptions, a number of guarantors should
provide for the other funds Let them decide to have a
good permanent building, and leave the matter to the
committee.
Mr. It. WILLS said the matter ought to be decided that
night, because the house should he built at once. At
present the boats were allowed to be stored in the watch-
bons°. br the kindness of the captain of the coastguard.
NANGLE suggested that visitors should be MOTS
generally arnuainted with the advantages the club
offered, and they should be taken to the boathouse and
shown what sort of a building the club had.
It was decided that the whole matter he referred to the
committee, to carry out in the best way possible, the
members to exert themselves in getting Subscnptions for
the boathoose.
Mr. R. ItotLs proposed that the entrance fee be
abolished.
Mr. F. Feess seconded, and it was agreed to.
The election of captains and the time of opening the
season was left over to a future day, and the meeting
separated with a vote of thanks to the Mayor.
