BREAM COTTAGE GARDENERS' SOCIETY.
The Fourth Annual Show was held at Colliers’ Beech, on Saturday,
August 1st; and was, all things considered, better than any former one.
The long drought had parched up the land, and consequently many gardens
were unable to produce vegetables which were considered by their owners
as worth entering for competition; hence there were only 157 articles
this year against 193 last year. On the other hand the onions and potatoes
were better, and the baskets and pots of flowers, and designs in grasses
and flowers, more tasteful. The attendance was not so large as last year.
The Lydney Volunteer Band played during the afternoon, and gave great
satisfaction. At 6 o'clock the prizes, all of which were of a useful
and substantial sort,—as quilts, sheets, fire-irons, tables, knives
and forks, crockery, iron ware, tools, &c., many of them presents
from Lady Campbell and Mrs. Noel,—were presented to the winners
by Lady Campbell. The judges were the same as last year,— Mr. Collison
from Clanna, and Mr. Moysey from Newland House. The following is the

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL TREAT
Was held on Thursday, 6th August, and was attended by 180 children. The
rain, which was most welcome otherwise, spoilt much of the out-door
arrangements, and the tea was taken in the school-room. The following
prizes were awarded:—For attendance: Hubert Lucas, a story-book;
Bessie Worgan, scissors. For general good character on leaving school:
Agnes Robbins, silver thimble. For sewing: Emily Howells, silver thimble.
Other rewards given —We take this opportunity of urging parents
to send their children regularly to the Sunday School and of drawing
their attention to the injury done to children's minds by sending them
to one place on week -days and another on Sundays.

The Poor Man’s Friend Club held it anniversary for the first time on Tuesday, August 2. The members met at the school and went to Church, and afterwards transacted business. About 75 persons had tea, with a substantial supply of cold meat, cake, &c., in the Boys' School; and towards dark a short address, showing that the club would in all likelihood thrive, as having no break-up, was made by the Vicar; followed by the Rev. A. Mac Leay, who is temporarily supplying the place of the Rev. B. A. Galland. The club numbers 42 members. The feast brought in a profit to the club of about 7s.

We purpose, by God’s blessing, shortly to begin a monthly celebration
of the Holy Communion at 8 o'clock. It will probably be upon the third
