H 449-50. iMemorials of old Lancashire. Edited by Lieut.-Colonel Fishwick and


Rev. P. H. Ditchiield, M.A. Our county is one that is full of historic


and antiquarian' interest and these two high- Iv -nteresting volumes are a welcome addi­ tion to the Literature dealing with these subjects. One chapter is devoted to “ The Crosses of L.mcashire ” which includes the ancient Saxon crosses in Mtolley Church- vaid, another deals with- “ Castles and For- tifit l Houses,” giriing a very intersting his­ tory of Olitheroe Castle. The illustrations ana numerous and well executed. B. 451. Ancient Stone Crosses of Eng­


land. Alfred Rimmer. The .-uicient crosses of England have


been diiided in-to Memorial, Market, Preaching and Weeping Crosses. At the time of the Refonrui-tion' there were prob­ ably not fewer than five thousand crosses in England. Many of these were elabor­ ate structures, some resembling a Gothic Turret, with niches for statues, other were built in the form, of a canopy under which it was posrible to take Shelter. Tilie general ■ nam


e of cross w-as applied to them as they


w-ere invariably surnioun-ted by a crucifix. Soilie of the most bleautifutl examples i-n England are those erected by Edw-ard I. (.\.D. 1290) -in memory of -his Queen, Eleanor, being pla.ced on the sjjipts where lier body rested in its funereal progress to Westminster. Almoat evdry wiMage .and town in olden times had its cross, standing usually on the rillage green, or in the mar­ ket place, in the former position generally accompanied by -thle stocka From these crosses proclamations were a-nnounced and sometimes the election of Mayor took pJl'ace there. In our ow-n towim a cross stood in the ceuthe of -the market pljce and old Inhabitants ahvays spoke of any meeting taking place there as being held “ at th’ cross.” This volume of Mr. Rimmer’s is a standard w-ork on the subject. B. 507. Traditions, Superstitioars, and


Folk-iLore, (chiefly Lancashire and the Nort-h of Englarad), -their Eastern origin- and mj-thical significance.


-Ch'as. Hardwick.


To the student of folk-lore this is a. welcome volume, givin-g accounts of various Legends, obseiyanoes a.nd ceremonies. The Lanca­ shire Witches, Fairies, Boggarts, Spectres and many other superstitions which were ohlaracter-istic of -the “ good old timtes ”


.are also commented on. ' B. 638. The Monumental Brasses of


Lancashi-re and OheShire, with some ac­ count of the persons represented. James L. Tihomely. B. 681. Ru^h-Bearing: an account of


the old custom of strerving Rushes; carrying Rushes to Church, The Rush-Cart, Gar­ lands in Churchas, Morris D.in'cers, W.akes, etc. Alfred Burton. This old custom once common to -the whole country only now lingers in a few' isoI.a,ted places, chiefly of Lancashire and Yorkshire. Grasmere Church is one of the few- places where the custom of carrying rush garlands and Streav- ing the Church floor ari-'th -rushes .stiiil sur­ vives. Probably Dow-riham -in thi.s district is the place wihere the obsen-ance was last kept. The old practice of rush streaving originated through tile floors of houses a.nd


churches in olden times being composed of nothing more th.a.n the e-vrih, avell beaten and smoothed, the only covering bestowed upon them before skins and carpets came to be used being .fresih nishes, sometimes mi.xied avith saa'eet herbs. It aras deemed

(To lie continued in next week’s issue). LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. -Sir,— Wf have before us a notice^ sent


out by ail Assessor, a regularly appointed Income Tax Official, with the usual form Number 11, as follows: — “ Lu order to obtain total e.xemptiou—


a,ba,tement— or the lower rate, it must be claimed by every space oai page 3 being fi'lled up, and tlie form signed and ro- turared wkhin 21 days.” This is grossly inaccurate and misloa,di-


ing, as we ithall presen-tly show. Tliie official form, No. i iE , sent out by


Assessors broadcast with the kuow-ledgle of -the Board of In-land Revenue, is equally inaccurate and mislead-ing, in so far as the following statement is concerned: — “ Your p:i.riticu'l;u- atten-tiou is called


to thi© fact tihat axem.ptipiii ab.atement, or the relief iu resiiect of earned income can be obtained only by signing tlie declaration and giving a full detailed statement of your income f-rom e-i'ery

earned income must be jireferred at the time . the retu-ni ii> made, and must in any case be i>referred before' 30th Slep- temiber in the year for wbich. the tax is charged.”


■ j! Taking the last st.a,temeuit first, the fact

TfflE CLITHEROE TIMES, FRIDAY, JUNE ll 1909 PROPOSED] NEW SKATING RINK,


LICENCE FOR MUSIC AND DANCING GRANTED.


w-as proposed to be erected in King Street, opposite the Station Hotel. Since they made the previous application the plans of the building had been passed by the Highways Committee of the Clitheroe Corporation. I t had been decided to erect an all-brick building at a cost of over £2000, and it w-ould be fitted up w-ith all the necessary requirements for an up- to-date skating rink. To carry on the skating rink a music and dancing licence was absolutely essential and he did not think anyone could have a reasonable objection to the rink. Air. Weeks was present that day on belialf of a private person and his objection could therefore only be a private one. An objection, to have any w-elght must come from a public body and not from a jjrivate individual. If they infringed the legal rights of an individual the latter had a legal remedy in. another Court. Councillor J. Holden said he w-ould like


cation on behaff of the ow-ner of the adjoining property. Air. Ramsbottom said the skating rink


the lieeneo in his name. He thought a music and dancing licence was essential and lie did not consider that a band would be a nuisance. Air. IVceks : Is it essential to have a


rink as public benefactors or merely in the interests of shareholders ? Councillor Holden : That is our business.

I t is a private limited company. Air. Weeks: You thought if you got


the rink started it w-ould bo a good speculation ? Councillor Holden : AVo arc willing to


risk it. Air. AA'ecks : As one of the proinotors


j'ou wish to make money out of this '! Councillor Holden : I should think so. Air. Ramsbottom : You would not go


said he was responsible for the preservation of order in the town and his opinion wa.s that he did not think the rink was re­ quired. In fact he tliought it woukl be to the interest of the public if the licence was refused. Clithoroc had a groat many more music and dancing licences than cither Blackburn, Burnley, Accrington or Bacup. In Blackburn for every five thousand of the ]3opulation tlicy did not average one ; in Burnley they averaged 1.03 ; in Accrington, 1.159 ; Baoup, 2.443 and Clithcroc 6.132, so tliat ho tliought they liad quite sufficient. At the last licensing sessions there was an application for a billiard licence and the Alagistrates refused to grant it on the ground tliat there were already sufficyont jilaecs of aniuscmont in the town. In 1903 the music and dancing licenses in the town wore reduced from about 21 to 14. Air. AVccks said ho opposed the appli­


submitted plans of the proposed rink which had boon passed b}- tlie Highway.s Committee. Ho thought the building would cost about £2,250. The Chief Constable (Air. AY Clayton)


cation on behalf of the owner of houses in Balfern Terrace. Air. Bamsbottom had said he was only rc])rcsenting a private individual and that if the skating rink was conducted in such a way as to become a public nuisance he could bring an action in another Court. That was not an attitude that Air. Bamsbottom ought to take up at all. They had not the slightest evidence on behalf of the promoters that the hall was wanted in the interests of the public. Air. Bamsbottom carefully refrained from asking his witnesses aiy-- thing on that point. That was the reason why ho asked Councillor Holden the question as to whether he intended making money out of it and Air. Holden had candidly informed them that lie would not have gone into it had it not been a speculation. The promoters came for­ ward to make money and at the highest it was dnly one'private interest against another pi-ivate interest. There was no evidence to show that the hall was required in the interests of the public. Anyone who knew the town at all must be aware that there uas a sufficiency of places of amusement. There was already one skating rink and a good one and those who thought that two would jiay in Clithcroe must he very sanguine indeed. There was no room- for two public halls iu the town; the present one did not -pay, although the directors had .spent a con­ siderable amount of money from tinio to time. A short time ago a concert hall was erected in Parson Lane but, it was now used as a bazaar. His client. Air. Drinkall, came to Clitheroe about fifteen years ago f6r tlic benefit of his health and he found that the town suited him very well. At the present time several persons, for the sake of making monc.y, wised to erect a skating rink next door, wliere a band would be playing practically all day long, and where crowds of people woAild congregate from time to time.

At the Borough Police Court, yesterday, before Councillors A. Roberts (in the chair) W. Hardacre and Mr. E. Crabtree, Mr. J. H. Ramsbottom, solicitor, (of the firm of Wilson, Eastw-ood and Rams­ bottom), applied, on behalf of the Clitheroe Roller Skating Rink Company for a music and dancing licence to be granted to Councillor J. Holden as director and nominee. IVIr. W. S. Weeks oyiposed the appli­


jiared to accept ten o’clock. The magistrates retired and on tlieir


return the Chairman said they had decided to grant the usual music and dancing licence without restrictions.


ROWLAND EDUCATION SUB-COMMITTEE.


-MID-SUAIMER HOLIDAYS. Rfev. Cainom. AA’ilson presided over t-he


mon-thly meeting of the Bowland Education Committee o-ii Alomday, when there were also present th'e Rev. J. C. Garnett, 'Messrs. AV. G.i-rnett, Junr., E. Moore, Jos. Robin­ son, J. AAI Gill, J. R. Towler, J. Taylor, along with M-a. Ford, represeai-ting the County Council, Mr. C. A. Milford (clerk) and -A'lr. Townson (school attendance officer).


MEDICAL INSPECTION OF CHILDREN.


The Clerk int-imated that he had, as


requested at the last inteetiing, sent out cir- cula-rs to the various school corresixmdents asking the managers to undertake to look after the children under -the Inspection of School Children Act, arid authoirising them if considered -desirable to co-opt women for that purjxise. He ha,d received replies from 'Wh-itewell, Gisbume and Grindleton Lane F.nds. None of thle remainder had written him. It was suggested ithat the Clerk sliould


assume they were .ill w-ill-ing to do it. Tihe Clerk; I always find wth'eai I assume


anvithing that it rema.iins undone. 'Mr. J. Robinson, said the A'-icar had men­ tioned the matter to bi-ni at Grindleton, a.nd it w-ould come forward at the ne.xt meeting of m.anagers.

Tite Clerk annioiiiticed that he bad writ­


ten the County Autlbori-ty wiit-h regard to tlie playgroun-'l, etc., at Pa.ytliome Provid­ ed .“cliool a.nd had received -x reply stating tha-t i^' was the invariable- ipractice of the Kdiication Committee not to proceed with ;i.''ii:iKa;ltLng iintill the ground became con- s-c-'kkited and the same procedure had heert followed in this instance. They wer-j of ophiiion that i-t would be better for the chi,ldiren- and chea-i>er in the long run


to asphalt the ground, as was done not only in tow.ii but in country schools. To


, convey an idea of -the expense it w-as estimated that an area of 550 square yards


[ would cost £50, to which tlhey might add :i further sum of £<) for the portion tha-t


j would ‘h;i.ve -to be pai-ed. -Tllie letter con­ cluded by asking wihat was mevint by coi-er- ing the ground wiiitli “ scrap.” AVouId such traatmen-t give a ha-rd surface in- all kinds of weather? Mr. Ford suggested tlibt the cost might


be considerably reduced by the use of tarred chiippi-ngs.


'•


Tit was decided to advertise for tenders in the Clitheroe and Crai'len pajjers.


•’ COMMERCIALS ” NOT AVANTED. The Clerk read a notificatiion from he.i,d-


qiia-rters prohibit-ing comm'ercial travellers


'from calling upon schools during sc-h<x>I •hours unless possessed of a. written- permit from the AA’est Riding authority. M-r. Ford explained thii.t this instruotion


w:i.s due to the fact that cinie tra.veller hail offered a tip to a schoo-lmaste.r in order to obtain fa-voiirs, but the sdlibolmaster in question had promptly reported the matter.


-AIIDSUM'MER HOLIDAYS.


-A d-iscussion took place as to the date :ind dtrralion .of -t-he anmial midsummer


iliol-iday and it was ultimately decided to ;rllow the usual five weeksv managers to choose the -time most sui-tekl to their owiu particular school. 'lllie Clerk expressed a hope that man-


;igers Ini.ving fixed a date for commencing the holidays iwnild adihbre to it. In pre­ vious years it 'h;i,d l>een customary for him


• to receive commun-ication-s at tire -last j moment stating that certain schools iixire j closed a week -lief-o-re the date origi-n-;i.lly I li.xed and fhis led to som-e expense in :ul- vising by wire iieople concernied, that the


I sdiouls in his district were closed. I Mir. Ford mentioned that a couversa-tion ; had taken i>lace at the mesting of the Edu- i cation -Authority -as to how the sum-mer hbklays might be utilisied tor the -beaiefif of the boys. Seei-ng that girls were -taught


hou.sekeepin-g, etc., it was tlibught. that while bantime was -in ]>rogress Ix>ys might be taught' sometMiilg about , agriculture which would be useful to thlem in after -life.

worth will bo familiar to our readers as the heroine of one of the most sensational and romantic episodes of recent years, which for some time, kept Press and public


agog with conjecture. Now, ns a writer of romance, she turns


her natural gifts to interesting account, and eontribiitcs a really sympathetic and graceful little story to this week s “ Stories for All,” w-hich is certain to create a great deal of attention in all


quarters. The same number of “ Stones for All, '


which, by the way, improves with every issue, also contains a.fine story by John K. Leys, entitled" “ Like a Thief in the Night,”- and another good yarn of soldier- life by Scudamore Jarvis, entitled, “ Bor­ rowed Plumes,” in . addition to seven or eight other fine stories.


Would’ the Magistrates care to have a skalting rink next door to their own private residence and be subjected to the monoton­ ous strains of music aU day long ? If the licence was granted his client’s property would depreciate and the tenants would have considerable annoyance. The only matter that could justify the erection of the rink was that it was in the interests of the public, but the application was not launched upon that ground. He asked them not to grant the licence, but if they did he would like them to make some restrictions as to the_ time, etc. He asked them not to allow the rink to be open after ten o’clock in the oyening.

CLITHEROE CRICKET CLUB ANNUAL SPORTS.


The annual professional athletic spoms under the .mspices of the Clitlieroe Cricket


Bowlling and Tennis Club were held on- the Clliatbu-tin 1-toad enclosure on Saturday. T-hie siror-ts should have been held on AVhit- Moaiday but tvere postixmed on account of the very i-nclemeiit weather. The climatic coudiliions ou Saturday were also "very mi- I'avourable, with th'e result that the sports were a complete financial failure. Rain descended heavily and there ivere few spec- •tators; wliile many of tire competitors failed to put in an appearance. This is to Ire regretted, as the cricket club have to reily upon the. sports for a balance an the right side at the end of th'e season., and when- the sports fail theile is generally a deficit. Considering the heavy condition of the ground some surprisingly good con­ tests were wi.tr essed, tout in th'e half-mile liicycle race, J. W-li'alley, Brow-sholme and C. H. Daw-son, Cl-ithbroe, came to grief owing to the slippery nature of the turf. The judges were Messrs. J. Clark and


F. .Sagar a.nd Mr. H. Hargreaves was the referee. Mr. A. Lord, (Burn-ley), acted as starter ami the Cterks of the Course were as follows: Councillor Baldw-in, Messrs. A. Aspin, J. Birtwelil, J. CIv,i.dwi'ck, AV. Calverley, J. S. SmMi, J. Smith, J. Bloomfield, E. Rawsthome :ind J. Edmondson. '.Messrs. J. Brieriey and J. Coulthurst officiated as handi-cap- pers and th'e duties of secretary and treas­ urer were assiduously carried out by Messirs. R. Jones and R. AV. Robinson re­ spectively. Seler.'tions wiere rendered dur­ ing the after-nocun by the ClitKeroe Borough Band, but the gala i-n the ei'lening was abaindoned.
