Tbe down Clerk (Mr. W. S. Weeks) - G -


wbmitled the loyal address which he has prepared on similar lines to the erne drawn up by the late Mr. John Eastham on the iccasion of the Coronation of the late King Edward VII. The address which has been ■igrossed on vellum, was approved on the proposition of the Mayor, seconded by Alderman Roberts. T» reads as follows:—


"T'o their Most Excellent Majesties the King and Queen.


May it please your Majesties.


We, the Mayor, Aldermen and Burgesses of the ancient and loyal borough of Clithcroe, in the County Palatine of ],ancaster, which for several centurie.s W.T

Vour Majesty the King ascends a 1 hrmie unique in the annals of history. ihe wide expanse of Empire over which rour Majesty is called to rule is unex- impled, and the illustrious line of predecessors in youi excellent oflice is without a parallel.

Town Hall of the said Borough this 16th day of June, 1911,


J. T. Whipp, Mayor Wu. Self Weeks, Town Clerk.


The one theme of conversation at pres


•at ii the Coronation of their Majesties ting George and Queen Mary, which will tike place on Thursday next at Westminster Abbey. The daily Press has devoted coL innns to this gorgeous ceremonial, and to tbe viK work of preparing for the accom- omdation of large numbers of visitors from


—


building an "oven” for the process of roast­ ing which will liegin on Friday evening in the Cattle Market, ana Mr. W. Green is providing the necessary machinery. Em­ ployees of the Corporation will act as basters, and the Ox Committee, in white aprons and caps, will act as carvers. Stands, erected by Messrs. A. Veevers and and Son, will provided in the Cattle Market (3) one in the yard adjoining the Auction .Mart, and another in the Market and


bread will be distributed to all comers. Messrs. Appleby, of Blackburn, have given the flour required.


The


mounted head of he ox will be drawn for, and in the matter of ticket selling, it is stated that Mr. W. Lees holds the record thus far with 350. The carvers which will l>e presented to the Mayoress have been sui)i)lied by .Mr. Theo. Wilson.


—G ~ The fancy dress ball to be held at the


Palace, on the evening of Friday, June 23rd, is arousing much interest, and the promoters have the most sanguine hopes of its success. Prizes will be awarded. Mr. J. W. Southworth will be tlie donor of the lady's prize, and Mr. Walter Greenwood will give the award for best gentlemens costume. A prize is also offer^ for the most grote-sque or humorous costume, by Mr. F. B. Mitchell. Dr. Orme (Chairman of the Dance Committee) will specially nominate the judges, whose identity will not be disclosed, even K) the committee; and although a proce.ssional march will take place during the evening, the adjudication will not necessarily be made then


The final arrangements with regard to


the competitions have not been completed, but the prizes will not necessarily be award­ ed for the most gorgeous or the most ex­ pensive dresses, so that those competitors of modest means, but who possess ingemi ity and taste, will have an equal chance


of success. Refreshments will be served in the open


air, on the flat roofed part of the building, which will be decorated and festooned with


lanterns—an arrangernent which,


given a continuance of the present warm weather, should be a very pleasant innov­


ation. Those who intend tc take part m the


ball arc requested to apply for tickets at once.


Very hearty congratulations to Mr. Jno.


Harrison, the well-known Castle street tradesman who yesterday celebrated his


79th birthday. By the way, Mr. Harrison has been act­

_ -.r 4-Uo. lofo KiTTcr Mr. A. L. Garnett, District Chief


Superintendent of the No. A North West­ ern Dietiict of the SC John Ambulance Brigade, has been ordered to take charge of the whole of the units from the No. A District, in London, cn the occasion of the Conmatico. The order extends to both' days. Two members of tlie local Ambul­ ance Brigade have been deputed for duty in l^ d o n for Friday, the 2flrd inst., the day of the King’s progress—Sergeant A. E. Dixon and Private J. Foster (secretary)


Apropos of the work of ambulance men


fat crowded centres, the London corres­ pondent of the “Yorkshire Post” says;


The whole of the ambulance work on


the day of the Coronation and the day following has been undertaken by the at. John Ambulance Brigade, and, as there are “brigade calls,” the provinces will assist as well as the Metropolitan districts. This year, for the first time, members of the Brigade will be furnished with police passes, a step which has been taken to prevent impostors from passing themselves off in uniform. Oflficiating members will have to be at their posts at 6.30 on ifie morning of the first day, and when their duties will finish will depend on circum­ stances. The police arrangements allow for a couple of St. John men lo be sta­ tioned in front of the crowd every eighty yards, and for the other men with the appliances to lie behind the crowd; but previous experience has shown that cut and dried rules made hi advance are apt to be considerably modified by actual local conditions. When King Edward Vil. opened Kingsway, an order from Scotland Yard directed the Ambulance men to take up their stations in the rear of the crowd, but when the Chief Conunissioner of Police arrived on the spot he commanded the order to be withdrawn, at tlie instance of a brigade superintendent. Ambulance men of long experience find that it is towards the front of a crowd that their sendees are required moslly. J'br instance, a brig- arle superintendent of 18 years’ service, who is going on duty with 10 men next Thursday, -tells me diat in a crowd which is, say, nine deep, it is in the third or fourth row from \Jie front that a great number of the “casualtie.s” occur, ..le victims being in very many instances per­ sons of short stature, who .are overcome by the want of air. All the members of the Brigade give, their services gratuitously, not only on national occasions such as the Cor­ onation, but also at the big athletic meet­ ings and at the exhibitions.


In many


instances the superintendents belong to the professional classes, but in Txmdon, at any rate, working inen are among the most devoted and self-sacrificing members of the St. John Brigade. Railwaymen especially have distinguished themselves by loyal and willing service.


The local Territorials who will join others - G -


of the Ath East Lancashire Regiment in London for the Coronation, are Sergeant G. Burgess and Privates Richmond and


Wood. The Mayor gives a cordial mvitauon to —G~ . .


the various brigades, representatives of public bodies, friendly societies, and townspeople in general to accompany him to the Parish Churdi on the evening of Coronation Day. The service, which will begin at 8 o’clock, will be of about an bout’s duration. The form of service will be specially printed, and a short address will be given by the Vicar.


The Free Church Council has also


arranged a service on Ihursday evening in the Wesley Church, to be conducted by the Nonconformist ministers.


The general programme for the Corona­ —G—


tion festivities, together with programmes for the processions (including plan ol the Marked Place) where the schools will asemble, and plan of the field) and the Friendly Society’s procession sire now on sale at the newsagents; price one penny


each. The workpeople at the various mills m - G - .


the town have entered into the festival spirit with remarkable enthusiasm, and weaving sheds, winding and spinning rooms are bedecked with the national tri-colours, paper festoons, and patriotic emblems of


all descriptions. In connection with the tea to be given to


old people in the Public Hall on Corona­ tion Day, some 934 invitations will be issued during the next few days to persons


aged 60 years and over. — D—


The children in the VVhalley road dis­


trict are to have an additional treat on the day of the Coronation. Mr. Thurston Smifh has generously arranged for their entertain­ ment in a field at the rear of the Craven Heifer hotel, for which he has distributed some 250 tickets.


At a meeting of the limestone Rock —G—


Lodge of Oddfellowws, held on Saturday last, all the arrangements wore made for the Coronation procession, which takes place on the 24th inst., and a hope was expressed that the members 'ffould attend in full force. Bros. W. Thomber and I. Cants were appointed delegates to attend the District Meeting at Sabden, on July 1st next.


It was announced that the Past


and Present Officers’ ramble, conducted by Bto. Tom Hargreaves, will take place on Saturday (to-morrow), the route being by Colthurst Hall to Talbot Bridge, returning By Bashnll Bavea. Members of any kidge and friends will be heartily weloomod.— Meet at Lodge Room, King Street, at t . o'clock p.m.


A house to house collection has been


arranged to be made in Clitheroe this week-end in aid of the National Children's Home, Bonner Road, London, N.E. Es­ tablished in 1869 for the reception and training of destitute children, the Institution has extended its ministry to almost every phase of child need, the orphan, the crippled and afflicted being cared for in country and seaside branches. During the past year a sanatorium has been opened at Harpenden, Herts., for children threatened with consumption. Its equipment and methods have been approved by the highest medical authorities. Reports and full par­ ticulars of the work can be obtained on application to the principal, Rev. Dr. Gregory, National Children’s Home, Bonner Road, London, N.E. Mr. Fred Whittle is the local honorary secretary, tor the collection, and he also will be pleased to give information as to the work. More than 750 children 1 aye been received into the Homes from Lancashire.


—G— Close upon 1,000 Bast Lancashire pig­


eons were liberated at Weymouth on Sat' urday, in connection with the Federation race, distance roundly 220 miles. On Tuesday, the Federation secretary, Mr. Robert Houseman, placed the first ten in each of the two sections. section a bird,

—G— Wilkinsons, 10 .mid 12, Moor Lane, have


a fine range of Carpet Squares, Stair Carpets and Axminster Rugs. An enquiry ami look before buring will be appreciated and may be profitable to both, as the value offered is excellent.


_ _ - G - The Vicar of Clitheroe has offered iver-


sonally to defray the cost of conveyance, in Friday's pagent, of all old people who attended the Parish Church and took part in the procession on the occasion of the late Queen Victoria's Coronation in 1838. Names should be sent to the Vicarage as early as possible, and not later than Mon­


day. — 0 — The anniversary services in connection


with Low Moor Church Sunday school will be held on Sunday, and as the special preacher is the Rector of Slaidburn (Rev. J. C. Garnett) one may confidently predict crowded congregations. In the aftenioon, the customary procession will take place and all old schdars, teachers and friends are invited to take iiart and to join in the services.


— 0 — In connection with the torchlight proces­


sion, the Lancashire and Yorkshire Rlj'.

PREACHER: Dv. T. b


brated at Stonyhurst College, yesterday, with all the usual detail and solemnity. Last year, the celebration had to be aban­ doned owing to illness in the College. The festival was favoured with brilliant weather and a large number of people from Preston and East Lancashire towns took advantage of the opportunity to witness the event. As is customary, the celebration began with the administration of the Eucharist to a number of junior students at Hodder College, High Mass being celebrated in the public church. Father Woodcock was the celebrant, with Father Junks as deacon and Mr. Gallagher as sub-deacon. IThe event, however, is the procession in the afternoon, and, although there were no new features introduced, it was brilliant and imposing. The public church was crowded to its utmost capacity to witness the ceremony of fitting the Sacred Host into the gold monstrance, whidi was borne By the Very Rev. Father Jos.Browne, Pro- ■vincial of the Jesuits. He was attended by Fathers Bodkin and Cassidy, and


, . n J- u il_


cloth of gold, borne by four philosophers in dress suits. The procession filed put of the church, through the playground, and, entering the College b; the west entrance, walked to the Academy Room, where benediction was pronounced. From there, they proceeded to the boy’s chapel, where another service was held. Father Magee preached a suitable sermon. The procession afterwards passed across the great quad­ rangle and along the front of the college to the public churcli, where the Host was removed to the tabernacle. The beautiful vestments wor* by many of the priests made a brilliant scene, and the military side of the display was very imposing. The members of the Officers Corp were num­ erous, several of them carrying rifles with fixed bayonets. At all the services, and during the procession, suitable music was rendered. Tliis included Mendelssohn s “Lauda Sion,” Donovan’s “O' Salutaris," “Panga Lingua,” Zuleta's “Lauda Sion,” “Tantum Ergo,” and “Adoramus” ; the hymns, “Cor, Jesu,” “Faith of my fathers,” “Sweet sacrament divine,” and Schultzfs Litany. -The concluding overture was “Concert Overture n D” (Faulke). Mr. H. J. McArdle was the organist, and the choir was under the eondiictor.ship of Father Sharkey.
