NOTES BY THE WAY. A holiday fit for a king. That is the
\erdict of the vast number who have spent the week at the vaitous pleasure resorts. The greateiJt factor in all holidays has been OJi its best behaviour and if the holiday makers have had a time fit for a king it is because they have had kings weather,
Uiily to-day h;is the first drop of rain fallen. Crushing ? Well, bless ) ou, there has been jtlenly of thtit. but the average mill opera tive cares little about a crushing if all other things are favourable) Somehow Clitheroe, however unfortunate in other directions, tiearly always matiagcs to have a litie week for the holidays and this has been jio ex ception to the rule.
There are two weeks in the year to
which Blackpool lodging-house keepers look fonvard, namely, the Blackburn atid Clith- croe holidays and the Oldham wakes, or it, the vernacular— “ Twaix.’' These are the harvest days and should they fail the Black' pppj sciisoii is at once pronounced a dismal
failure. The fiitst week, however, has beeti about the greatest success on record. Jf next week be as good .is its immediate predecessor then the lodging-house keeper'; cup of joy will be filled to overllowing.
You ne\’er saw sucli ti Blackpool! Tlic 4‘i

On Mr. Walter Morrison’s Peny-Gheiit Moor, tile bird,s were so wiild that shooting over the dogs was abandoned and driving resorted to. The kill was 48 brace of grouse, not 28 as stated previously.. Mr. Morrison's party also shot at Rough Close Mr. Alric Watkins and party were again sliooting on the Austwick and Clap- ham Moor, upon which a heavy bag (137A brace) was made on the opening day.

shooting was made, on Monday, on the Bolton Abbey Moors. The ducal party left the Hall at ten o’clock, and proceeded through the Deer Park to the Hazlewood Moor, where a start was made at the Brown Bank. There were very few people as sembled to witness the departure of the sportsmen, but during the d.ay there was a large number of visitors. The shooting party consisted of eight guns, namely, the Duke of Devonshire, Lord Lurgan, the Earl of Essex, Lord .Stanley, M.P., Lord Earquhar. the Hon. H. Stonor, Mr- Arthur Sassoon, and Mr. C. Hamilton., The day was beautifully fine and warm, wdth very little wind. Birds were very plentiful and in excellent condition, there being only a few small birds observed.
Up to lunch time the bag amounted to
231 brace, the proceeds of three drives. I n the second drive the Duke of Devonshire wa,s credited with 29 birds. The Prince of Wales was expected to arrive at The Hall, JBolton Abbey, from Studley Royal, oij Wednesday morning, iin time to accompany the ducal party to the moors.

By tile way. the reverend gentleman' had ;i tilt at what he called sermon-moiigers- those preachers who speak not from the hetirt but from what they have picked up in books.

To tlie great ddiglit of tlic folk whom i
once licard alluded to as “ lliose curious siiedmens of humanity,” to wit the devotees of the rod and line there has been an im provement ill the state of angling matters in the Ribble and Hodder during the past' week or two On Bank Holiday there was a nice .run of water^ but in the earlier part of the day it was somewhat thick for fly.. This, however, cleared considerably, and towards evening tlie fish were r'lsing with considerable freedom. Some exceedingly hetivy sliowers during the afternoon made
things rather uiipleasanl, but tliey diid not last long. Ltisl Saturday the water was in prime condition— a clear brown— and some very good sport was obuiined at times dnr-. iiig the day, but for some reason or otlier' tbe trout 'were rather caitricious, and nutliing very great was done. Appearances of tlic weatlief seemed to promise that the liead ot water now running would keep up for a lime, and anglers in ibc Ribblc below Clitlieroe have had good sport during the
week. 1 am reminded llial un Sundtiy special
services are to be lieid at tbe Parisli Cliurcli on behalf of tlic homes fur waifs and strays (Manebester Diocesan Branch). Not long
ago 1 referred to tiie splendid work accom plished by this organisation and 1 am. sure that in the collections at St. Mary’s on Sunday tlie waifs and strays will be specially
remembered. “ The Glorious Twelftli ’’ duly arrived on
Saturday and excellent sport lias oblatiiicd tills week in Clitheroo district, many large consignments having been sent to tlie mar kets from Clitheroe station and post office.
Captain Starkie, of Hunlroyde Hall, along witli his party, found excellent sport on Pendle Hill. The bag for the first day was 65 brace, second 105, which consti tutes a .record, tlie previous one being 99!, making a total bag of 170 brace.
Ion included in the service a prayer for the success of the mission at Blackiwol and tilso that the threatened strike in the cotioii trade would be avoided. 1 see that the Bishop of Manchester has notified the clergy and chiircliwardens of the diocese that he authorises, and earnestly recom mends, the use of tlie following prayer on Sunday. He also earnestly deprecates tuiy disciissioii of the question of the Cotton Strike front the pulpit. “ More things are wrouglit liv prtiver tliaii tills world dreams of.” “ Almiglity God, who art alwtiys more
ready to liear than we are to pray and art wont to give more than eillier we desire or deserve, we lumibly beseecli 'i’hee to hear oiir prayer that thou wouldst guide at this time the minds of those who as leaders of the employers and of the employed are in Thv Providence charged witli llie
is.sues now at stake in the cotton industry. Gniiit unto them both an earnest desire for con- cliiatinii and wisdom in devising means thereto. •Avert, if lit be Thy Will, the calamities

May we ticktiowledge 'I'liee in all tilings, and ever seek Thy glory and tlio advancement of Thy Kingdom tlirouili Jesus Clirist oiir Lord.”

Apropos of General Booths visit to
Nordiamptoii it may be recalled lliul on the ouasiun of his first visit twenty-five )ears ago he was pelted witli eggs.
It was also
here lliat he publicly offered prayer for re- puriei, ill the following terms: “ Aid now, dear Lord, bless tlie reporters, whose nini- ble p.ens catch every word almost before it is utltitd. Like Thyself, they are omiii- ur-iicr:, and almost omnipotent.

Tlie judge is fond of yachting, and he invited the K, C. to join him on a cruise. The invitation was duly accepted, but as soon as the craft got out to sea tlie breeze freshened into a gale. Soon the guest exhibited unmistakable signs of nial de mer. “ Can I do anything for you ?” asked the Judge sympathetically. “ Yes,’’ giisped the advocuite. “ You will greatly oblige me by over-ruling this motion. ’
