Hardacrc. CCXRPORATION PARK.


A Sub-Committee report to General


Purposes Committee that Mr. T. Eastham had ofeaed to let the Corporation a strip of land, adjoining the Corjioration Park, containing from two a; three acres, at the rent of j£13 per annum for 31 years, the Corporation to fence seme off with a milit ary fence five feet high, tlie land to be staked out by Mr. Welch and the Borough Surveyor. It was proposed by Alderman Roberts,


seconded by Councillor Cottam, and mianimously resoivied that Mr. Eastham s


offer be accepted. It was further proposed 'by Alderman


‘ Never-Fade' Serges are Tested Serges.


........ ...... .. oui NEVER-FALE Serges, we m*j m/ tint in tb«ae we have


aomething more than a “name. “ NEVER-FADt ” ropreaont* tno


real charaotoriwtic of the SersTO- It is a


Serge.


THE DYE. The Dye c# a blue serge ii one of it«


nott Important points. All blue dyes are »ot alike in quality; all Indigo dye», even are not alike. ’ You jnaj have Indigoes good, bad, and indifferent. To say a serge I.S “ guaranteed Indigo dyed" is no guarantee as to keeping its coiow. In these day.s of adulteration. Dyes hare


in IK3 way bccii excepted. A serge may appear to be all that could be desired in the .shop, but tire que.stkm la—Will the colour stand?


, So difficult is a good dye to jud|;e that


even those wh* are buying and selling cloths daily may be deceived. At one time h was possible to test the quality of the dye by applying acid, Init now even this test is of Fttle use. What then, is tlie purchaser to do to be


sure he is gevtinj what he desires? In the first place, be may to some extent


be guided hy dealing with a reliable firm, but the only and really practical methoj is to test the serge in wear. But this is impractical, as any defect would be founa out too late.


OUR TEST. All manufactureis agree that the most


—severe iwst a dye can be put to is the natural test of S e a Air and Sun. We decided, therefore, to test a numhci


of Blue Sergea by cxpo.lnB: lar«e pieces on British LigThthouses,


and are jtrmid to report that the "Novar- Fades ” down ' to the lowest


qual ity stood the t e s t un- changred. Other .serge,s failed to stand the test, and came back totally changed in colour.


THE WBAII. T h e w«a»r of tl»e “NFrVER FADES"


will prove cftiiie as satisfactory as 'b e d ye. Not only for our Serges, but for 'I'weeds as well, we make a special point of selecting cloths with a view to good wear, rejecting tho*e that are tender and weak. Although we have said so much about the


material and dye of the “NEVER'FADE” Serges, there are other considerations of a mexst important character which must be taken into account ui the making of a suit, and it is just here that we, with our long experience (of over thirty years) in the Tailoring 'I'radc are able to .speak with


confidence. THE FIT AHD ETYLE.


That “nothing looks nicer than a blue


serge .suit” is not always true. It all de­ pends on the quality of the serge, make and the fit. .So far a-s make and fit are concerned, Y#e giY* » s ia tn ed a r u a r a n tc c to r e tu r n m o n e y in


fu l l if w e f a i l to x iv o s a t iA fa c - t lo n . This shows the confidence we have in our ability to please our customers, and - sho'old in.spire confidence to place a trial


order. You are under no obligation of any kind


whatever to keep a garment that fails to satisfy. Nothing could possibly be fairer


than this. The many thousands of suits that we


make to tire nreasure ot customers we h®'’® never seen Ls sufficient proof of our ability to please, and if further proof were wanted it is found in the constantly increasing volume of our business.


OUR TERM*. Our business is conducted on * * * b


principles. We buy for oM h and aell fo< e a c h , and are consequently bi a position to supply garments considerably bekw the usual retail prices.

CROSSHILLS. The Sub-Committee also reported haying


had an interriew with the Horrockstord l.ime Co. Ltd., respecting the lease of


Crosshille. It was proposed by Councillor Carter,


.seconded by Councillor Hardacre, and unan’mously resolved that it be proposed to

WORKS IN VALE ROAD AND MILTON AVENXrai.


A letter was read from Mr. E. Chester,


eecretary of the Ribblesdale Friendly Aid Associatioo, asking the Corporation to cany out certain street works and charge the same along with the materials lequir^ to the same Assodatkm, the work to be done to the satisfaction of this committee in such manner as to Justify tlie Corporation taking the streets over as public streets


when completed. On ti*e piopoeition o f . Akiennan Roberts


seconded by Coundlloc Cottam, tiie Coun- <51 was reooBunended to carry out the works


in his report for tlu; quarter ending March 31st, stated: Eighty five births were regis­ tered during the first three months of the year, and llii.s number, calculalcil on an estimated population of 12,600, gives a birth rate of 27.1 per 1,000 per annum. F’ifty deaths occurred iluring the same period, equal to a rate of 15.1 per 1,000. Six deaths were due to acute lung affec­ tions, one to influenza, six tr> malignant di.seasc, and one to diphtheria. The tol- lowing infectious reports were received: Seven of scarlet fever, two of diphtheria, one of cr_v.siiK‘las, and one of puerperal fever. All ended favourably with the ex­ ception of one case of diphtheria. A con­ siderable number of c.ases of “sore throat” occurred amongst school children—chiefly scholars attending the Council school—but whilst these cases were undoubtedly in­ fectious, reports from the Pathological Institute in Manchester showed them to Be of a non-diphthcric type. 'I'he school was disinfected upon one occasion.”


THE CORONATION.


ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE BONFIRES.


Not the least impiortant and effective of


the celebrations which wUl mark the crowning of King George will be the net­ work of bonfires which will bl.aze forth from one end of the kingdom to the other. The arrangements for this phase of the festivities are in the hands of a Central Bonfires Committee, composed largely of Members of Parliament, of which the Earl of Carlisle is chairman, and the organisation is on a very complete scale. The procedure suggested is ffiat in Eng


land and Wales the bonfires shall be fired simultaneously at ten o’clock. North of the Border the hour for lighting will be 10-30 p.m. For England, Ireland and Wales a detonating rocket will be fired at 9-B5 to call attention, and at the hour the bonfires will be light^ and the National Anthem sung. Arrangements will be made, where possible to illuminate the hills on which the fires are burning with coloured flames, and in many cases rockets will be sent up at inter­ vals until midnight, to which hour the fires will bum if properly constructed. Twx3 of the principal blazes in the vi­


cinity of the Metropolis will be those of Hampstead Heath and Shootei’s Hill, which will be visible for miles around. I,ewisham is building a large bonfire on an eminence between Grove Park and Hither Green. At Gravesend the fire will be lit on tie famous Windmill Hlil which over­ looks the town.


It is estimated that at least twenty beacons in Essex and Kent will


be seen from this point. Wales by reason of its physical conform


ation, is at once the most suitable and most difficult of the four countries for bonfires. Set off against the advantage of the splen did sites offered by the mountains is the difficulty of getting *he materials for the -blaze to their summits. Wales has enthus­ iastically taken up the bonfire idea,^ how- erver, and from the Garth Mountain m Glamorgan to Caorgybi Myndd in Anglesey there will be a chain of flaming tokens to the loyalty of the Principality, mth Snowdon .towering away above them all.

Leaving Clitheroe for Nelson, he established a prosperous business as a cabinet maker, and became one of the best known tradesmen of that town. He had, however, been in failing health for some years, and for the past three or four years had practically Eved in retirement, although the retail part of hys business is still being carried on by his daughters. The funeral took place on Wednesday

THK FA1.AOK. It has been admitted on all hands that


the “turn" given by Wm. Salmon, trick cyclist, is one of the best that has b ^ n seen in,Clitheroe. His performance can only be described as wonderful. He is as much at home on one wheel as an ordinary cyclist is on tw'o, and he plays a violin into the bargain. He also introduces a new and clever method of roller skating, which is not likely to become very popular, and suc­ ceeds in wheeling himself in a wheelbarrow. Madame Duxbuiy, the well-known vocalist, is also appearing, and the pictures are well chosen.
