At the conclusion of the day's proceedings the band of

&c., in a manner highly creditable to Mr. Dean, their band-

master.
In the course of the afternoon Sergeant France of the
corps of Commissionaires, picked up a purse containing
£3 lOs. od., and with commendable honesty handed it over
to the officer in charge of the police station, and before
gun-fire it was owned by Mr. C. Nightingale, of
Wimbledon. . _

During the meeting a post-office has been kept on the
ground by Sergeant Russell, 38 A. Souse poets have
brought as many as 300 letters, and it has been very
amusing to witness the eagerness with which the volun-
teers have surrounde i the box of this officer when a post
has arrived. The crowds have been at times so great thai
two constables have been actively engaged in keeping them
back until each letter has been looked over and put in the
proper pigeon-hole, which has been done by Sergeant
Russell with a rapidity almost equalling. that which could
have been done by one of the Poet-office sorters.

Mr. J. E. 13 bt=l,ktr has died
uorth nearly 4000,000. if we remember rightly, Mr.
Baillie is recorded as the banker who advised the late Sir
T. Grahani not to bank,
