CHOIR SERMONS AT TH E


BAPTIST CHAPEL. Last Sund.ay was the dl.’ly set a]iart for the


choir sermons at the Baptist Cha.jiel, the preacher for the aec.asion being Mr. Cowgill,


of Biimley., In the afternoon the little chapel was welL


filled when an .augmented choir rendei rd tli.-il gr.and cantata, entitled “ H.idas's-ih. ’ .nie characters represented were: Hada.=.=ali (Queen of Persia) Miss Fletcher; Zimsh (Wife of Hainan), Miss Hindle; I-^aman, (Prime Minister of Pcrsi.a), -llr.

now acting as postmaster, and who is a cantli- dato for the vacant position, presided over the meeting, a'od in his remarks said he was pleased to see so Jiiaiiy ijresenh that evening—a fact which alone betokened good feeling existing to­ wards Air. Wlmlley. So far as he was c/jneerned - ho could bear his testimony to the kiindly way in which Air. AVlmlley had always treated him, inoro especially during tlic last four ycai*^ dur­ ing which time he liad been closer to him than at a n y . lira© l>efore. He had never hatl any other master, qikI h© felil very much th© parting from one wlioni he had worked uader aucb a long number of years. Although, they would bo parted in the office, yet it woulil be satisfactory to know that he was.not going far away, and although not on official matters, yet in a friondly woi’’ lilicy coultl have a chat to­ gether. His best-'Wish was that Air. AVhalley and liis good adfe, Airs. AVhallej*, might live


ness at, tlie Post Olhee being suspended, the stofi in. . conmection. -svitb the ' Clitheroe olRc© chose that day as a ftttimg time to sliow their respect, and cs’.teoni to their late master, Air. AVlialley, tn'Iio had retired Xroni the service, by presenting him ^vith a vaUmhle timepiece.. The whole of the sub-postmastex^ from the outlj'ing district received an invitatioa to an‘*excellenU ten, which was served by Mr. Jos. . Bennett, Aloor Lane. There were presiMjt some 30 or 10 employees, who did ample justice to one of the best teas that could have been provide. Tea ov’er, Air. II. W. Bobinsou, chief clerk,


Ou Monday oveiiing last—BankHoJiday—buji-


long to enjoy the remaining years of their lives in health luul hapx>inc8&. He then called


the afYuirs in th© office on© who has long guided anil suxieriiitcndcd the very iirogi’essive work wliicih has gone on in tho office here. One wlio I am sure has been looked up to by all; one who has ever been ready to council ami ntl- vise; one who though we may ot times have thoughf? harsh; but .T believe that below tbo sometimes ruffiod surface there was calm and kindness. J. may say that* I have worked un­ der Air. AVhallcy for jnaJiy years—nearly 28, and unlike tho storms of the elements we have to battle with outside, he whom w©have learned to love and respect, has been the same day in and day out. I t is, Idion, for these, amongst other reasons, that the losing of Air. AVhalley is painful. But, gentlemen, on the other hand, i t is a pleasure to be here, especially under tlic very unique circunhstaiices which can happen but once in a lifc-timc. I t is a pleasure, I say, to know lUiat after so many years of -..er- vico, there is to-night in this meeting such an cxprii3.?!ou o.f good feeing, respect, and esfeem towards Air. AVlmlley, and to find this esteem has taken such a practicable form. 1 Jiave got a few statistics tlogethcr in connection with n»o office progress, and 1 find that since Air. Wiialloy's service began great advancement l.as been made in th© town for the x)ublic benefit. A’\m would no doubt see the paragraphs in the Totvd paj/57fl of Friday last, which is not. allo- jj»)‘'her' aecurnto infonnatioii. But I may say wfrrfc since I entered the service there were only two town’s ijostmen, three rural postmen; Air. Whalley, two' clerks, ami I think two messen­ gers, and one branch postman, making a total all tohl of ten. Tliero wer© llhrce sub-offices— Slaidbuni, Bolton ami Downliam—increasing the staff to 13. Now there is the postmaster, five clerks, three messongers, six town postmen, 19 sub-offices, with-iiumerous branch deliverers, bringing the tobil up to GO o rilhereabouts; ami this tail is liardly able to cope with th© work ut times. These facts will give you an idea of the rapid strides the offic.© has-made here. The correspondence passing througli the office liero about tlie same f'liine was about l.OOO per week. Now the correspondence jier week is over 39,000, which shows the cnennous increase between the two ijericds. Thor© lias been in the introduction of iics^-cards, half-penny stamps, the telegraph, telejihone and paj-ccl post, besides a lot of other minor facilities for


place T cannot do less than thank you for the great honour you have confcrretl ujioci me f'O- day, in placing me in the enviable and honour­ able ponition in which I am placed; honour­ able because i t is the conveyimg of your esteem and respect through nio to our lads master, Afr. Whalley. Tiiis gatlicring to-night is unique in th© history of the Post Office a t Clitihero, and to my mind is' both x^^hiful ami i)leasureable. Painful bcause we are losing from the helm -of

CRICKET NOTES. Last Saturday Glitheroe -ivere at heme once


, m.ore, after liaving a -week’s r e s t ; - ' -Settle w-ere tlie opponei-fts, and right stur­


dy opponents they made. The home team; were fortunate in winning


the toss, and made well out of their bargain, sending up the resiieCtable total of 162. The Settle fielding was of a very loose char­


acter, sai'eraJ catdies being missed, and this might be said to be-responsible, ini a; great


-measure, for the total being carried so l.aff. Norman Oxburgh came out'with th© tep


score for the home tesuTii but his batting is not anything'like what h e is capaCle of show­ ing. His hillings was a very lucky one,being iTiflirred by sei'eral chances. Dick Flanson treatedns to; some of his eld


foi-n-.;. H is innings ivas. quite char<toeris.tic of his earlier days, and he secured his 42 by good allround cricket. Duckett again came out ivell irith the ba.t,


compiling 27 in first rate style. I was glad; to see Phil Alitchell in the ranks


again, and he justified his place by scoring 15 not out, his total being got by very nice hitting. But the lioiioui's with the willow must be


given to Burgess, the Settle pro-. He compiled 71 by \e ty ptetty ciicket. His hitting was very clean, and scmie of bis late


cuts weie a treat to watch. Although o-ur opponent, one must give him


credit for olaying what was perhaps the best innings seen on our ground this season. Then we had three of Settle wickets down


for 13, our chances cf -victorj' were veiy rosy iiideetl, but, alas, for itlie unceriaiinly of crick­ et, the next ivicket did not fall until 93 had been scored. If the Settle fielding was bad, Clitlieroe was


nc improvement in this department; if any­ thing it was perhajis a. little worse, several catches being droppetl which proved! rather


expensive. When tlie last m.an caime in, eleven, nins


were wanted toi make <a tie, and twelve to win, and consequently exciitement ran high; but it did not last long,the last two men, Garnett and Knowles, polishing off the necesr.ai-y runs just before time, and Settle went up two points. Wo could have done very well with those


two points, and considering that we meet the s.amo team again to-morrow, it will not be tho Clitheroe players’ fault if Jhea' are not avenged, and two' points secured out of Set­ tle, and to' cry qiiito Herbert Hai-greitves will tiiifortunately be­


an .absentee frc.na the team to-mon-ow, but a good substitute has been found in. N. Alders-
