v'fited Wigan on Monday evening. .As if this were not enough, even the m'lnimilng Ilf the toss saw fortune first smile on them ,i.nd then, like the fickle jade she is, spurn them away. In other words while Clith-, eroe kickM the better way in- a dead calm and fair weather they had no sooner changed ends than they were callled uj^n io luce a blinding downpour, accompanied by a leinpurary gale. Etiil it was not dur­ ing this period that the damage wais done, .iii tliree of the hoime goals were scQKd in as many minutes m the fot half. That CJitlieroe managed to keep Wjgaii out lor 87 minutes out of me iinieiy was to me lar more amasing linm the fact Uiat they were defeated dr liial me) tailed to iiuldii a single point.

Watson played m quite an eiicouraiguig fashiiOii al ter he had settled down, but he was very nerv­ ous at tire outset and frequently Iris judg­ ment was at fault. The two- latter defects were noticeable in Ireland, who was bad and good in tuyns. About tlie time tlte goals weie scored the custodian was un­ doubtedly flurried, but in the second half he pertoiined cleverly. Lambert and Mac­ kenzie worked hard but cxnly seldom did their passes to the forwards bear any frui-t. The tront line needs little commeixt except that Scrahan was about the only one whp t'cr had a Ictok in. BriekCilMej, Dodd and duty were manifestly too little and out­ classed. To describe tlie game is scaiceily neces-

WHALLEY AGAIN VIlCTORIOUS (By “ Abbeyite.”)


Whaldey ga'iined an easy victory at the ex­


pense of Buflnfey St. Audi-ew[s on the MTiaJ- ley ground on Saturdaiy. The match was witnessed by about a


handful of spectators, but this can probably be accounted for by the.fact I'halt two shows


■ wure in progress in fihe village, to say noth­ ing of the fair.


The home team batted first and knockied


up the formidable sejotre o f 157 for eight wickets and than closed their innings. ^ This score was made up of several goexi


'inditviiduaJ contributions, Liangshaw pla.ving a fine game for his 51.


The Whallley score proved far too big for


the St. Andrew’s men, who were sent back for S3.


Boddy and Ramsbottom opened the

Langshaw and L. G'lreen got together,


but the latter was unfortunate in being run out for eight runs.


Aimond foUoiwed shortiy afterwards,


Dewhurst finding his way -into his wicket when tire former had only scored a single. Hindle and Langshaw made the stand


.of the afternoon, the score being taken- from 99 to 154 before tlie pair were separated,


Fliudle being tlie first to go after hitting up 20. Langshaw' foiiowed three runs later, a


change in the bowling being (responsible for his downfall.


He gave a good display of batting his 51

CLITHEROE DEFEATED. (By ” Coverpoiilnt.”)


Clitharoe were defeated i!n a friendly en­


counter with RibbJesdale Wanderers ow Saturday. This is the first defeat that Cii'theroe have


sustained tliis season, and coming from the qmirter in which it did, made the pill ail the more bitter -to swallow.. There was only a sni.alil attendance of


spectators, very little interest being taken in friendly matches. Ciithonoe won the toss and opened with


Croasdale and Mitchell, against the bowling of Coulthurst and Lakeland. Runs came very ^Imvly. for a time, the


first 12 overs producing only 10 runs. Mitche-iil was bowled by Lakeland at five,


and Windle fallowed a run later. Cro.asdale was out at 14, and Clarke at 20. Haworth and Hargreaves came together


at this stage, and added 19 before Haworth was bowled by Lakeland. Ha-rg|reaves was cksn^ed four runs later, after making 10. Dlxo,n sent the sc)t|re along at a botKjr


pace by adding 10 in one over from I.a-ke- land.


Coulthurst, hdwever, wais causSbg the


batsmen some trouble, and in three overs dismissed three batsmen for no runs. Dixon hit a ball from Lakeland out of


the field foy six. The ninth wicket added 18 runs.


The end came at 67, Coulthurst and


Lakeland bawled througlifvut, the formei having five wickets for 25. and tire latteir five for 38. The victor}' of the W'anderefls was due


to the fine batting of Hoyle, who scored pracl-icaJly Iialf of the score, 40 out of 79. He laid about th-o botri-'in-g and h.ar.l


severa.l chances m-issed off hfis bat. ^ Lakeland gave him valuable a.ssi.sitanre and was the o-n-ly other pla.yer to- reach double figures. He had strung togedher 14 before he fe-Hi


a victim to a, catch by Miitchell off Bourn. Dawson with 9 to liis credit wa.s the near­


est aiiprnach to double figures. Hainson and Robinison were each dis­


missed without sooriug. The match xvas lost by Cliitheroe thifvugh


indifferent fielding, several chances being missed. Bourn wasa.ga.in in form .and took 8 wick

CLITHEROE


COTTAGERS’ SHOW. A GREAT • SUCCESS.


The 36th annual shpiv of the Giiltheroe Cottagers’ Flower and Vegetable Society


was held in- the National School on Saitur- day, with gratifying success. As regards (entries and the general quality of the ex­ hibits the show was in advance of all prd- -ylilous recisrds. Which is all the more remark­ able when one considers tire poor season


now drawing, to a close. Mr. Henry Tomliaiso-n is president of the


Society which is capably served by te seore- taxy and treasurer, Mr. J, Cook and Mii'. R. H. Whalliley. The judges were Mr. Troughtoni, P’resloii',


and Mr. Tyler, Gisburne Park. The Mayor (Aid. Whipp) presided at the


opening of the proceedings when there was a large gathering 'present, iindudfeg -thd Mayoress, Coun. T. Garnett and Dr. W.


E. Musson. The Mayor congratulated the Sivciety on


having obtained the services of Coun. Garnett to open th-e show. Nobody took a greater interest in- Qitheinoe and its affairs than Mr. Gaimett, whom he had great pleasr ure in caliilng upon to open the showi. Coun. Garnetfi after commending the


wiork of the Committee in keeping the Society together, remarked that he had had an oppoi-'tuniity of Id.oking round while the judges had been completing thdr arduous task—a task he would n-ot care to undertake amongst so many, capital exhibits—and he must say wlia-t a rea'Siy good colleciiion of fll'Vwers and vegetables had been got together cons'detring Ih-r weather we had experi:- eiiced. When nne had before them .as they had that afternoon the results of the laboum of the cottagers of Clitheroe in the cultiva­ tion of floiwens.and vegetables one came to the conclusion that thebe was gre.at cause for con-gra-tulaitipn, showfivg a,s it did that many people were taking an- initerest in thd oldest and perhaps the most honourabTe of all our industries. He w.as particnl.ariy struck with the wonderful display of celer}’, especially consTidering the .adverse condi­ tions to which he had ailre,acly .alluded-. .Again when one c.ame to think of the great amount of atten-tilan.' concentrated- upon every one of the exhibits there was reason for gladness th.at sucli a healthful a.nd bene­ ficial recreation was still'l able to attract so ma-ny people.- He .sinceiioly congraitulaited the committee on the increa.se in the num­ ber of entries as wdl as on the quality of the exhibits and had great ple.asnre in fotm- aflv declaring the show open. br.


said the}' had rOasian to thank


the Mayor and Mayores.s for th-eir pre^-nce that afternoon a-nd for advancing the iinter- ests of the Socl-'ety as they advanced the interests of ever\”ttiing that was good. He hqped Aid. Wh-ipp would continue to be Mayor for some time to oome.^ In malmy


respects he (Dr, MussOn) coiasidered they (had a wonderful exhibition. What .Mr, Gairnett had said about the celery was abso-


'lutelv true and he ailBo noticed with satis­ faction that prizes had beien offered for a basket of wild flowers, tire arrangement to be (taken, into consideration- That was as it should be, for the arrangement was of as much oonsequeince as the collection of the flowers. -After aillluding to the wonder­ ful effect wild grasses had in- arra-nging a bobquet of wild llow-ers Db' Muspon- said another year he would give a -i^zo to the boy 'or girl who under the control and the


■ watchful eye of the commi(ttee, raised the best bean, plant in wa.ter, also a maize plant, .to maturity. These pursuits were higuly benefidall in the way of instruction in hoa- tioul'ture. Concluding, he said he xvas highly pleased as one of the managers to allloav them the use -of the National school


for their show. Mr. Tomlintian moved a vote -of thanLs


to Coun. Garnett for the able manneir in which he had opened the proceedings, Mr.


Cook seconding. Coun. Garnett, responding, moved thanks


to the Mayor and Mayoress for tlieir cour­ tesy in attending. They were always fore­ most in forwarding the gctod things of the


town. Mr. Rd. Ha(ntle'}-, secondmg, sand tlie best


way in which they could Shmv thedr appre­ ciation of tile services rendered to them by their visitors was by taUnig a greater in­ terest in the cultivation of floweris and vegev tables, which was a'healthful as well as am enjoyable occupation.


The Miifi-or suitably responded. During the afternoon- and evanii'ng line
