THE WEDDING RING OF ENGLAND.


IN O D J £N T S OT' PK E V IO U S , COl tONATiaxN'S.


The Coron»tion ceremony in Us origin E'"


and its m»ia purpose is a re^ious one intended to consecrate the King in the service the State. But it has a secular significance also, as may be seen from the portion of the service in which the Arch­ bishop of Canterbuiy presents His Maje.sty for recognitioB at each of the four .sides ot the theatre in the Abbey. Later on, when the oath hat been taken, the Royal per- *on anointed with the holy chrism, and the Monarch girded with the sword, comes the investiture with the Coronation Ring. “Then the Keeper of the. Jewel House,'


‘ f , filf I I - / i I f i'1


say.s the order of service, “shall deliver to the Archbishop the Kings Ring, in wiiich a table jewel is enchased: the .Archbishop shall put it on the fourth finger of His Majesty’s right hand, and say; “Receive tjiis ring, the en.sign of kingly dignity, and of defenct of the catholic faith ; and as vou are this day solemnly invested in the govemmewt of this earthly kingdom .so may von be sealed with that spirit ot promise which is the earnest of an heavenly inher­ itance, and reign \tith Him Who is the blessed and onlj- Potentate, to whom bo glory for ever and ever. .Araen.” The wedding ring of England as it has


come to be known is. in one form or an­ other, of centuries old antiquity, and ol legendary origin. The story is told ot a certain “fayre old inan" who asked .alm.s of Edward the Confessor and received all that, the Saint had to give, his ring. Soon afterwards two English pilgrims lost their


I rii ’%


....ay-ill-the Holy Land, and encountered a “fayre ancient man,’’ who questioned them as to the ptiqxrsc of their journey so lar awav from home. He comforted them with hi.s dricc, fe<i them, lodged them for the night, and put .hem in the right order of their going. -And on departing he tohl them who he was. T am John the Evang­ elist; and say ye unto Edward your King that I greet him well by the token that he gave me this ring with his own liaiides, which ring ye shall deliver to him again.' The pilgrims obeyed the Evangelist’s be bests; the ring wa.s received by the Con­ fessor, and in due time found lionoured place at his shrine, tveing represented m the stained glass and .sculptured stone of the ancient Abbey. It was in connection with this story that


Edward II. presented at his Coronation a piece of gold made ir, the shape of a man stretching out is finger to receive a ring. With different Monarchs the finger on which the ring .a.s placed varied con­ siderably. In the case of Edward VI. it was placed on the fourth finger of his right hand, and Charles I. is believed to have followed this practice, though the record of the event Is .somewhat indefinite. When Henry lY. wa-s crowned, he exhibited the signet ot Richard II., given to him by that monardi as a token of his right to


■ the succession. A contemporary French writer-tells how; the ring “wherewith they


-are wont to espouse their Kings” was taken to Ixjrd Percy, who Vrelt down and placed


■ ; h .


it on the Kuig's right hand. “But,” adds the .scribe, “I would not give a farthing for it, because this office was performed without right or justice.”


The Coronation Ring finds no mention m


the famous Commonwealth inventory ot the Regalia, and it has been concluded that the only one now in use was made for the crowning of Charles II., and, with different settings, has been employed at ihe Coronation of many successive Sove­ reigns. The ruby (engraved with a St. George's Cross) of which it is composed, has always been regariled as a Royal stone, capable of im])arling light and wannth. Sir John Mandeville tells the story of a Chinese Emixjror \vh<. illuminateil his palace with a mliy a foot long.


When James II. made his first attempt


to fly the country he took whh him the Coronation Ring and a diamond bodkin belonging to the Queen. .But the fishennen of Shoemess detected the Royal identity. “It is our Father Petie; I know him by liis lean Jaws,” cried out one of them; wliile others addressed him variously as a “cniming old rogue,” or suggested that the “hatchet-faced Je.siiil” should be searched. As he was alxmt to sail the semnen rudely entered his cabin, not without the captains connivance, and proceeded to search the King and his companions, who offered no re.sisiiiiii-e, believing th.ai they would escape more lightly.


At last, one of them, feeling alxrut the


icings knees, got hold of the diamond bodkin and cried out, with the usual oath, that he had got a prize, but the King boldly dedared he was mistaken. He had, indeed scissors, a toothpick case, and little keys in his pocket, and what he fell was, un­ doubtedly one of tliose articles. The man seemed incraiulous, and rudely thrust ms hand into the King'.; pocket, but in ms haste he lost hold of the diamond bodkin, and finding the things the King had men­ tioned remained satisfied it was so. By thi.s mean.s the bodkin and ring were pre­ served. I'he ring had a tragic histoiy. It was the favourite ring of Queen Mary of yeoi.s, and is said to have been sent by her at her death to her son, James I., rhrough whom it came into the possession of Charles I. On the execution of that King, Bishop Juxon gave it to James II. As a relic of the Stuarts it was purchased in Rome for Geore IV., and restored to its country .


ring fits the more popular the ruler will De and the longer the reign.


There 's a tradition that the closer the This was


curious'y exemplified in the case of Queen Victoria. The ring had been made too small for the proper finger, and Her Maj­ esty wished to have h jrlaced on the little finger, but the Archbishop insisted on carrying out the order of the Coronation to the letter, and forced it on the young Sovereign’s ring finger, to her acute pain and distress. When the ceremony was over it was necessary to use iced water be­ fore the ring could l>e removed.—“Morning Post.”

khana on the Edisford ground on Saturday afternoon, before a good attendance. Several interesting races took place. 'The fir.st w-as a liat trimming comporiuon in w' ich the competitors had to ride from the .starting ixrint to the ladies enclosure, dismount, and wait for the hats being trimmei!; then out them on their heads, nioimt, .and ride round the field to the starting pomt. The winners were: Mr. Cro.s5, 1; Dr. Orme, 2. The next was a race which called for a great amount erf sk’ill. Small rings were fixed to pol^s in the ground, and the competitors had to drive past in motor cars, and try to hook off the rings with small wooden swords. .Mr. W. B. Barber was the winner, and Dr. Orme and Mr. H. L. Rushton tied for second place. 'Musical Chairs.—^I’he com­ petitors had to follow the Marquis de Jaucourt round the field, and at a signal from him, gallop back, tlio.se who failed to catch a pole,


(siib.stitutcd tor


chairs) wore ruled out. This went on until there were only two competitors left and one pole. The winner was Mr. A. L. Orrarod, Mr. H. Grimshaw being placed second. Threading ’be needle race follow- e<l, the w-imiers being Mr. H. L. Rushton, 1; -Mr. Macalpine, 2; Dr. Orme, 8. A very amusing competition designated “Apple and bucket race” was next run Eight competitors had to ride in front of the enclosure, dismount, pick an apple out of ;i bucket of water with their teeth, and then ride rouixl the course with the apple still hi their moutli. Mr. Macalpine was first, Mr. Cottrill second, and Mr. H. L, Riishton third. A blindfold obstacle race; in which ladles drove the men with reins over obstacles, was won by Mr. Mellor, Mr. H. L. Rushton and M r. J. K. Thwaites being second and third respectively. Driv ing a motor car between posts fixed certain distances, called for skilful driving The race was run in two heats, as follows Mr. A. L. Orrarod and Mr. Mellor; Mr J. R. Aspinall and Mr. Cross. Final: Mr A. L. Ormrod, 1; Mr. J. R. Aspiiiall, 2. At the conclusion of the gymkliana the


at


second round of the competition for the cup presented by Mr. Ormrod was proceed ed with. Mr. Ormroifs team was composed of: Messrs. R. Grimshaiv, Cottrill, h . L Rushton, and A. L. Ormrod. The Marquis de Jaucourt relied upon the following: Dr, Ornie, G. J. Mellor, B. Greenwood, and the Marquis de Jaucourt. Mr. J. R. Aspiii all fulfilled the duties of umpire. The game consisted of four “chutkers,


and was the most closely contested game of any yet played on the ground. The fir.st “chukker” was unproductive so far as goals were concerned, but the interest was veiy great. Mr. Rushton succeeded in re­ gistering a couple of goals in the second period, Mr. Greenwood scoring once for the opposing side. Mr Orinrod registered a third point, and although the “Whites' made strenuous endeavours to get on eveii terms they were a aoint behind at the fin ish. Mr. Mellor scored their second brilliant fashion.
