DINNER AND PRESENTATION TO LIEUT-COLONEL GRIMSTON: Lieut-Colonel Grimston having been compelled to relinquish the command of the 2nd Hants (Southampton) Volunteers, through circumstances well-known to our readers, it was decided to entertain him at dinner, and also to present him with a testimonial as a token of the esteem and regard entertained for him by the corps. The dinner was originally intended to take place in the month of June, but in consequence of the illness of the gallant and much respected gentleman it was postponed sine die. On Monday evening about 300 volunteers and several civilians assembled at the Royal Victoria Rooms to do honour to their late lieutenant-colonel, who received quite an ovation on descending the staircase, and also to present him with a testimonial. The Mayor (Captain P. Perkins), presided; he was supported on his right by the guest of the evening (Lieut-Colonel Grimston), Captains Bassett and Elliott, Dr. Dayman (hon. surgeon to the corps), Sergeant- Major Dixon (Hants Yeomanry Cavalry), and Mr. Pinsent; and on his left by the Rev. Dr. Bradshaw (hon. chaplain), Mr. J. B. Stebbing, J.P., Lieutenant Le Feuvre, Lieutenant Harfield, Ensign Keane, and other gentlemen. The newly organised band of the corps were stationed in the orchestra, under the direction of their bandmaster, Mr. D. Crook, who deserves much credit for the pains he has taken to bring them to such an efficient state, they played several selections, &c, during the evening in a manner which drew forth loud applause from the large company present, and there is every reason to believe that, under their very able conductor, they will become one of the best Volunteer bands in the county, as well as an especial favourite with the people of Southampton.

The Lord Mayor’s Candidature: The Lord Mayor of London attended a meeting of his supporters at the Dolphin Hotel, on Thursday evening. The room and the passage leading thereto were crowded, and a wish was expressed for an adjournment to a more commodious place, but considering the lateness of the hour and also that a large public meeting would be held on the following night, at the Victoria Rooms, it was not deemed desirable. His Lordship’s reception was of the most enthusiastic and gratifying character that his friends could wish. The attendance, which was very influential, comprised General Bullock, Capt. Tinling, R N., Captain Engledue, the Rev. N. Cotton, Rev. E. Edmonds, Rev. Dr. Bradshaw, Messrs. C. Day, A. Lamb, H. J. Pinsent, T. C. Elliott, E. Coxwell, W. J. Le Feuvre, A. Grey, J. Coupland, &c. The Lord Mayor, on entering the room, was received with an ovation of cheers. Mr. A. Lamb took the chair, and called upon the hon. secretary, Mr. E. Coxwell, to read the minutes of the last meeting of the committee, which having been done, the Chairman said: Gentlemen, you have heard the minutes of last night’s operations, and either by mistake, or something else, I naturally came and took possession of this chair (laughter), but having sat last night so comfortable I took it again. (Hear, hear.) My duty is very simple, because I saw the disease was so contagious that you took fire before I got my head within the door with his lordship. Therefore, I have simply to announce that the Lord Mayor of London is present and will be very glad to make a few remarks. …
