By far and away the smallest competitor, "Jeannie" had thoroughly mastered the in- tricacies of the Spanish dance, specially de- signed and taught her by the Misses Roberts, Huyton, of May-day celebrations fame, and the decision of the judges in her favour was a dis- tinctly popular one.

On Saturday last two more planes of glass, were broken, and after the whole of the school children had denied iaall knowledge of the affair the same two infant ajccfased each other of throwing the stones which broke the. windows. Mr Stevens, the headmaster, visited the parents, but was received in anything but an amicable manner, and finally beat a retreat.— At a managers' meeting on Monday he asked what course he should take.
