THE CLITHEROE TIMES,' FRIDAY, TUNE 17, 1898. St . M a r y ’ s ' - '/v: M u t u a l I m p r o v em e n t S o c ie t y . ANNUAL OUTING. The above Society alteinpted its annual


jaunt on Saturday last, and was favoured with exceptionally sunny weather. The par­ ty numbering 25, drove in a large wagonette from the Wellgate Mews, and started from the school at 2-15, and with “ William’’ as “ Jehu ” had little to fear as to the handling of the ribbons. The route selected was Chipping for the camp, returning via Longridge, Ribchester,


and Whalley. The route lay through charming scenery


of an ever-varying character. Having passed through Bashall town, and reached the elevation beyond Walker Fold, a panor ramie view of rarest grandeur revealed itself, for surely the fair face of nature could


spirits. As examples, two fellows were hav­ ing a very animated bit of boxing, whilst a couple of others were pulling each other’s heads, and tearing and wrestling like frolic­ some whelps, whilst a comrade standing by with a comical grin remarked “ I have more trouble with them now than I ever had when they were little.” Before leaving the camp a farm-house almost overshadowed by Parlick, known as


“ Crossnapend,” was pointed out as the spot where a certain Clitheroe lady composed a


hymn which is embodied in the collection of hymns of Low Moor Church. - Returning to the Sun Inn at six o’clock,


the party sat down to a sumptuous knife and fork tea, which was so much appreciated as to give rise to hearty votes of thanks, which were formally conveyed to the host and hostess. Tea over, a section of the ramblers having had the privilege most kindly accord­ ed to them, set the bells of the Parish Church in harmonious motion, their music causing many to compare them with other bells in

mented upon. A field of buttercups attracted the atten­


W 'B


tion of the company. The field was a large one close to the highway, and so massed togther were they, that as they wa-ved to the breeze, and flashed beneath the brilliant sun, they had the appearance of a lake of liquid gold, and the dazzling effect excited the ad­ miration o f all. Having reached a spot midway beneath


the “ long-ridge,” or Kemple, the attention of the ramblers was called to the graceful group of hills that cluster around the Trough o f Bowland, forming the far-reaching Bren­ nan and;Langden Valleys, the gathering grounds of the Blackburn and Preston Water­


works. Arriving'at the village of Chipping about


3-30, a halt was made at Mr. Berry’s, the sun Inn. Here the horses were released, and the ramblers now set out for the Encamp­ ment. Ascending the somewhat rugged height


below the Camp, a wonderful expanse of scenery was in view; bold Pendle to the North-east,with Hambledon and the Rossen- dale heights well defined Southward. Now within the encampment, a pleasing and ani­ mated scene presented itself. Some 50 or 60 white tents, relieved here and there with


the more substantial structures, such as the stores, canteen, and officers’ quarters, together with the moving scarlet figures of the soldiery, made a perfect,picture of military life in a serene hour of peace. The party were informed that the two


companies in camp consisted of the 3rd Lancashire Fusileers and the North Lan­ cashire Regiment, Major Fleming in com­ mand, and numbered about 260. The Companies only arrived from Fulwood Barracks on the previous Monday, which was a very wet day, but they had since had five lovely days in unbroken succession, and were thankful. Some little pleasure and surprise was


. / ' t


afforded by the discovery that two Clither- onians were amongst them, viz.. Privates James Langstretli (Lowergate) and John Talbot \Hayhurst Street). Langstreth has seen considerable service, and formed part of the Chitral Relief Force. Another young man, Albert Baron, hailing from Billington, was pleased to leam we were from Clitheroe. He is a Lance Corporal, and has seen twelve years’ service. The civility and alacrity with which they received and entertained the visitors was the subject of grateful re­ marks, and although many of the party had visited the encampment before, they all agreed that this occasion had furnished the most pleasure. Here and there were to be found soldiers cleaning and furbishing uniforms whilst their


■ bare arms and chests disclosed the fact that the tatooist had been severely at work. Many elaborate designs were shown to the party, and one young fellow declared that his brother’s limbs and body were utterly covered with designs,and that down his back was depicted a hunting scene with hare and hounds in full cry and scarlet coated riders, his brother had paid several pounds, besides the suffering, to the native tatooist. An unfortunate youth attract ed attention being a defaulter, he was pre­ paring for pack drill, which meant that he was to carry the full kit and pace the round two hours per day. Whilst some were in­ dulging in supine restfnlness, others were ex­ erting themselves to their hearts’ delight with football. A young man afforded much merriment


with his primitive method of shaving in the open air. He had a small looking glass perched upon a stoop which fell down three times whilst the visitors eagerly watched his reckless operations. One tent is known as the barber’s shopandis labelled “ Execution Shed,” which it was explained meant that everything is taken off but the head, and this was verified, for one soldier’s head was so thoroughly “ cropped ” that the back of his head looked like a big india-rubber ball. The love of pets amongst soldiers is univer­ sal. In many tents, birds were to be found in cages of unique pattern. A blackbird and two thrushes were in a perforated Hud­ son’s Dry Soap box, whilst a cigar box with rude strips of wood served as a cage for a half-fledged thrush. All drill being over for the day, the


soldiers seemed supremely happy, some of which seemed unable to control their bubbling


oacinsf around. pacing Ribchester beine’ reached eing


about ten, a brief stay was made. Descending the steep incline above Billington, the party noticed a cyclist approaching at a fearful speed, and when within about six yards o f the wagonette, the machine and rider came to the ground as if with a crash.
