An elegant breakfast was prepared at Spring-hill Villa, and was partaken of by upwards of forty guests. After breakfast, Mr. and Mrs. Sutherland set out for Brighton, while the large party left behind celebrated the event by a pic-nic at Bodiam, returning at night to finish the proceeding with a supper at Spring-hill Villa.

Pic-Nics
A party of more than 400 persons assembled at that picturesque place then called "The New Roar" on the site of the Old Road at Silverhill on Wednesday afternoon, July 1st, and there engaged in rural games and other amusements of a recreative and harmless character. Of course the inner man was cared for, and for this purpose a variety of delicacies, were provided by Mrs. Porter, Mrs. Rhodda and Mrs. Street. Tea and coffee were also supplied and everything was arranged with tact and taste which could not fail to delight the company. Mr. Rhodda erected some substantial swings and also lent his horses and vans for the conveyance of parties to and from, whilst Mr. Davis provided good service by presenting at the harmonium. The day was remarkably fine, the place was delightfully picturesque, the company was select, and the enjoyment was complete. The profits of the affair - £9 - were added to the fund for the enlargement of the St. Leonards Wesleyan Chapel.
