CENTRAL BEATEN AT HYDE. As at the previous meeting of the teams,


Clitheroe Central on Saturday found Hyde too many for tihem, the homesters running out winners by three goals to one. Hyde’s iposition in the table shows them


to be one of lihe strongiest teams in. the second division of the Comlbmation. and they are striving 'hard for promotion. Yet on their visit to Clitheroe tiiey were very lucky in capturing the points, which was solely due to an accident that-deprived Central of Strahan, and their standard of play was not such as one would have voted them among the aspirants for the champion­ ship. ^eing that there was an important Cup-


tie only a few miles away I naturally imag­ ined there would be vieriy few spectators at


the match. I was agreeably surprised, however, on


teaching the ground, to find there was a capital attendance, almost every coign, of vantage being occupied. The playing pitch was in a shocking con


dition and in one place jxirticularly, the players could scarcely mot'e owing to mud. Taking into consideration; die fact that


the day was beautifully fine, it was probably the worst ground Clitheroe have played upon this season. The ball appeared 'terribly heavy and


difficult to lift and this probably accounts tor the Clitheroe men collapsing as they did towards the end of the game. In the first half the Oastledtes had quite


as much of the play as the homesters and some really good passing was indulged in by. the fonvards, Bates and Crabtree especially evoking admiration.. The forwards played together splendidly


up to the interval and they had hard lines in not being more than a goal ahead when' the teams crossed over.


. Dodd had hard luck on one occasion in


striking the cross-bar with a shot that de served a goal. Arrowsmith seemed to think the ball was going over the bar and he -xvasas mudh surprised as anybody When the leather rebounded into play. Banks, too, 'had a good diuince of putting


the ball into the net. He had practically only the goal-keeper to beat but owing to the bad state of the ground and his own tardi­ ness he lost his balance aiFdfell, the leather being eventually got away. In the second moiety Hyde had far more


of the play than in the earlier stages of the game.


clearances. Prosser was injured in the latter portion


of the encounter and for a time the team was disorganised. Prosser wont outside left, Dodd inside right, Crabtree right half and Eccleston full-back. But 5ie players reverted to their original, positions when Prosser .had recovered somewhat. Considerable enthusiasm pirevailed when


Hyde drew level, but it was as nothing com­ pared with'the scene'that xyas enacted after the second goal had been scored, Carruthers diverting the ball past Finch. Encouraged by this 'the homesters attacked vigorous'ly and before the close another, goal was scored. It, however, came from the foot of Strahan. Finch was given a hot rime but he kept


a marvellous goal and could not be blamed for the Shots that scored.


! The goals scored by Carruthers and Stra-j


ihan were accidentally done, of course. The- players were trying to get the leather out of .play but instead of doilng that they de fleeted it into the net. Nobody was more sorry than the culprits for what happened. Clitheroe: Finch, goal; Prosser and

! ------------------------------------ MEDAL COMPETITION. The medal competition was opened last


Saturday and the interest .that is being shown in the competition was evidenced by a capital assembly. Green Eyed Monsters and Clitheroe Amateurs were the first on view, but the teams got at loggerheads and so ugly were the developments that referee E. Cook stopped the game af ter three play­ ers had been sent off. The Amateurs were then leading by 'two goals to nil.' They have since been awarded the tie. A capital game was seen between. Bawd


lands and Commercial Miill. Both sides put up a good fight and considering the ^ t e o f the ground both are to be congratu­ lated on .their play. Commercial Mill scored first, but Bawdlands quickly equal­ ised and subsequently the latter- ran out , winners. Jones showed fine forin for Bawdlands.

CHAS. FORDE’S BILE BEANS TRIUMPH.


Mrs. Mary Norwood, of 102, School


L.ine, Bushev, Herts., recently told a Lon­ don journalist the reason why she and her family ha.ve for so m.any years past adopted the worl'dnf.n.med Chas. Forde’s Bile B^ns as their family medicine.


'


the Amateurs -are one of the many junior clubs in Clitheroe; the Monsters on. the other hand are a lot of young men, who got together a team more for the fun or devilment of the thing than, for a 'trial of skill. Moreover they--^e Monsters—'Were quite free with their talk, for a week before til© match, as to vihat they meant to do with their opponents. Therefore k is easy to see that_thfi Amateurs knew what was in store for them when they took the field, j For the Amateurs to play the same game as ; the Monsters was an utter imipossibility, so k was their plan- to trust to the referee keep- • kig the game in hUnd. Now as a matter of fact this is exactly vhat he did not do, for he allowed fouls, which in ordinary cir­ cumstances, would have ended in the player being sent off the field and suspended from playing again., to go uncheck^ and when the Amateurs complained of these tactics, he told them that if he blew for every foul, he would never have the Whistle out of his mouth. This is no way for a referee to deal wkh a game. The Amateurs stood this sort of thing for the first half and then they began to take matters more into their own hands, with the result that two of the team were sent off the field, one for fouling and the other for rough kickkig. As to sending the first one off the field I have nothing to say, but .the second did abso­ lutely nothing to merit thie penalty imposed on ham. Those on the field on Saturday saw tlint perfect kicking was almost impos sible, for .the ground was about four in^'es deep in mud. Yet the referee sent the phiyer off for rough kicking when- i f was nothing more than a mdsfcick. Why he should send him off .and allow the two play­ ers of the Monsters to continue after they had played the tricks they did on one of (lire Amateurs’ defeniders is a question to be .answered by the referee himself. Of course people will say “Who is to blame for all .this?” The answer is undoubtedly the r-eferee, for if he had ruled the game wkh the authority be is supposed to use, I am sure k would have ended all right. Thd solution- of the matter is this. The com­ mittee Should appoint a neutral referee, some person who will use his authority as he .is supposed to do, and then the games will be played as they are suipposed to be plaved.


FAIR PLAY.


LOCAL WORKERS TAKE PART. A Great Forward Movement on an


unprecedented scale has been inaugurated by the Lancashire and Cheshire Band of Hope Union, Workers in the Union’s 2,100 Juvenile Temperance Societies, com­ prising 285,000 members, have been busy for some months past in carrying out the huge task of organization. No fewer than 90 towns and districts are taking part in the movement, which has for its object the doubling of the membership of the associated societies that form the union, and the raising of £20,000 for educational temperance work. These local organiza­ tions, at the suggestion of the Coimties’ Union, have enlisted the help of Ministers, Teachers in Sunday Schools, and workers in Christian Endeavours, Guild, P.S.A. and Temperance Societies, so as to ensure the success of the Campaign. Special interest attaches to the methods


by which this remarkable project is to be carried out. Some idea of its colossal nature will be gained from the statement that it will, among other things, comprise the visitation of well nigh a million homes, and the delivery of some 30,000 to 40,000 letters to Sunday School Teachers. As to the Sunday School work arrangements have been made, and partially carried out, for scholars to be canvassed by their own teachers, and asked to join the Band of Hope or Temperance Society connected with their own church. Teachers have entered into this task with enthusiasm. The visitation of homes, on account


of the scale on which it is conceived, will , take up three weeks, and will be carried ; out in a systematic manner. An army ' of sympathio canvassers have undertaken the work, each to visit some 30 to 60 homes With them, for delivery to parents at every home, they will take copies of a letter, signed by Canon Hicks, in which the following paragraphs appear ; “ Most people are agreed that Alcoholic drinks are quite unnecessary to children, and that they will, if they abstain, enjoy better health, be stronger, bettor fitted for their work and likely to live longer. The teachings of science and every daj’’ experience go to show that drinking on the other hand hinders work, weakens moral control and tends to shorten life.


Children should be given an j Opportunity.


' You will, I am sure, whether you are


a teetotaller or not, desire that your children shall be given every oppor­ tunity to groxv up. healthy and strong and to make the’^best of life. No ' better way of ensuring this can bo found than that of training tliem-in Temper­ ance principles. “ Where there’s drink , there’s danger,” and the hopes of thousands of fathers and mothers have been blighted by it.

, modern enemy to health, character and prosperity, is strong drink. Most affectionally, therefore, do I invite you to encourage your young


. people to join a Band of Hope or other Temperance Society, and to see that they attend regularly. They will get nothing but what will be good and helpful to them in their after-lives. TheyAvill grow up all the happier and better for the hours they spend there in learning the nature and effects of alcoholic &nks and how to resist and overcome the numerous temptations to intemperance that abound on every hand.” Delivery of the letters will be followed


up by other visits for the purpose of in­ viting parents and guardians to enrol their children in some Band of Hope or Juvenile Temperance Society of there oxvn faith and religious persuasion. No R eflection on Adult Habits. In response to enquiries the promoters


of the Forward Movement have explained their reasons for embarking on this large effort. The Counties’ Union, they point out and its workers, believe that, if the children of to-day can be got hold of and trained in temperance principles, the next generation will witness a greater improvement in the drinking habits of the people than has been experienced in the past generation. It is a work, they believe, in which all citizens will willingly help, seeing that whatever the personal views of a man or woman ns to their own practice may be, there is an almost universal belief that for the child ab­ stinence is a thing to be desired and secured. Furtlier, it is made clear that the doubling of the membership is designed without reference to denominations, the one aim being to get the children of to-day attached to some temperance organization, perferably that belonging to the ohuroh of its own parents or guardians. For their work the visitors have specially designed books in which all promises to join, a society will be noted, xvith.the name of the society xvliich the signor electsjfor attendance. The increased 'melnbefship which will be gained by this effort xviU add to xyhat has already been phenomenal gro'wth, for in fourteen years the'Lancas­ hire and ChMhire Band of Hope Union has increased its- sizej by more' than 300 societies and 95,000 .members..,


, The Union has many activities. From 9Jd. 8r


the point of view of public interest the main are the delivery of Scientific -Tem­ perance Lessons in Day and; --Evening Schools, working Band of Hope Societies in pubho institujiions such m .Industryal Schools, Workhouses, Traiiiihg Ships and Village work-by agents. Head-masters ,


in schools of all denominations, and of higher grade and grammar schools, have expressed appreciation of the Lectures in Day and Evening schools, which are given by a staff of highly qualified lectm'- ers. The figures themselves illustrate their success, for in all 15,787 lessons have been given, attended by 48,698 teachers, and 1,637,448 scholars. Of the scholars 651,750 submitted essay reports of the lessons, to whom 292,770 certificates of merit were awarded. The financial part of the Forward


Movement is a scheme to raise during 1909 a sum of £20,000 for educational work in Schools and Societies, and for Village Efforts, and for special work among the young in densely crowded areas. This includes a big bazaar to be held in Man­ chester in October, stalls being furnished from all parts of the counties. In ad­ dition, various workers and sympathisers xvith the work of the Union are making systematic collections, and many personal friends are contributing largely. From many quarters it appears, and


those not exclusively Temperance, this Forward Movement has won great ad­ miration, as being the biggest thing yet attempted in connection with Juvenile Temperance work. The Scheme has ap­ parently won large-handed support from men who are known for commercial acumen, and who do" not scatter their gifts without the assurance that good result xvill follow. The workers are consider­ ably encouraged by an act of generosity on the part of the well-known philanthrop­ ist, Sir. Wm. P. Hartley, who has made a stimulating offer of £1000 towards the funds, £500 of which is conditional upon the whole amount being raised. Mr. J. S. Higham, M.P., treasurer of the Union, has promised £300 ; Mr. H. Knott, J.P., £200 ; IMr. J. L. Tattersall, £100 ; Mr. J. 0. Nicholson, J.P., £50; Mr. C. Kerr, £50; Mr. R. Cooper, £50, &c. Many districts arc promoting big efforts, for example; Liverpool £1,500, Chester £100, Colne £100, Accrington £160, Blackburn £500, Bolton £1,000, Macclesfield £350, Tod- morden and many others are seeking to realise One Shilling per Member. With sucli a start the workers may well hope for success.

He'had been told bv sewral Iriberajs that if a Consen-ative were put up thev would


vote for him. ' If the Liberals' did uot “ stir up” thev would have a Consen-atu’e in the field, .and if that were so he woidd vote toe him before Mr. SJiackleton. He had nothing .against Mr. Shackleton as a man; he was a straightforward and a good man on tHie temperance question. But when he got into tlhe com'pany of such men as Mr. Keiir Hardre he had to advance bis opinions a very long way before he ^ I d work with themi. He voted for Mr. Snlac- kloton af the last election, 'because he was the better man; but Mt. Shackleton did not irork to his (the speaker’s) ideals, and Jie iTOuld not mind \r/bing and.even, working for a. Consorvatii'e before he would do so for Mr. Sihackleton again.

COUNTY SESSIONS. Monday: Before Messrs. W. Garnett (in


the chair), the Mayor (Aid. J. T. Whipp), J. T. Travis-Qegg and J. Worsley Taylor.


A CANDID MOTORIST. Harry P. Densham, Oiford House, Wai>.


■rington, was. proceeded against under the Motor Car Aa for exceeding the speed limit. P.S. Chioey stated that in consequence


of compl.aints made by residents of Chat- bum at a Parish Council meeting, he meas ured off a distance of 440 yards on' Clith­ eroe Road, OhatbuTin, and in company ivith hvo constables st.ationed himself there to take observations. At 3-5 on the 5th inst. iritness was at one end of the measured dis­ tance and P.'C. Cross at the other. Witness instructed P.C. Cross to signal to him im mediately any c.ar passed him. 'When de­ fendant passed in car E. D. 226 witness ■started his watch and stopped it when he re- coii-ed the signal from P.C. Cross. He found that defendant had covered the dis­ tance in thirty seconds, or .at the rate of thirty miles an hour. Witness then gave the signal to P.C. Halliwell to stop the car and after getting 'defendant’s name and ad dress he told him he would be reported. Defendant said he could not bring any re­ butting eviidence owing to the fact that his speedometer was broken. Defendant said he could not deny that


he was exceeding the speed limit but he did not think he was traTOllling at thirty miles .an hour. The road was straight and 'wide and down hill. He had driven 420,000 miles and th.at was the fiirst time he had been prosecuted. The Chairman: Is it the first time you


have desen’etl it? Defendant: I doubt it. I fancy I have


desen-ed it before, so far as the 20 miles Ls concerned. (Laughter). In answer to the Chairman, P.S. Chiney


said there was traffic in. the road at the time. The magistrates retired to consider the


c.ise and on their return the Chairman said ■the Bench had decided to inflict a penalty of los. and costs as a warning.


VEHICLE YViITHOUT LIGHT. John Gramger, James Street, Clitheroe,


was summoned for driving a vehicle witli- out light. P.C. Rusbton. deposed that at about 9-30


p.m. on Monday, the iS'th inst., he saw de fendant drii’ing a horse attached to a gig in ClithcToe Road, Ytialley. He noticed that the gig was iviChout light and he called out to defendant to stop. Instead of doing so, however, defendant urged his horse to a gallop by sliriking it and sliouting. Wit­ ness then blew his whistle several times but defendant did not stop and witness did not see him aga'in that night. He saw de­ fendant the following day at Clitheroe and asked him vihy he did not stop wheni re­ quested. Defendant replied that he heard someone shouting and wibistling but thought he had a ‘ flicker ” in the lamp and that it would burn up. Defendant sard tihere was a small light in


the lamp when he passed the constable. The spring had failed to pusih the (xindle up as it burned. Sixan after passing the con stable he stopjied .and pushed the candle up with his finger and th'e light was aftenvards all right. P.C. Rushton said he followed defendant


for about half a mile and there was no light at all in the lamp. The Chairman said it was a most d.anger-


ous practice to be without light in these days of motors. Defendant said he always saw to it that


he h.ad a'good light. P.S. Chiney said he was with P.C. Rush-


ton when the latter made inquiries at Clith­ eroe. Defendant then admitted that the light was out and that he ought to have stopped. A fine of 5s. and costs was imposed.


HAD BEEN TREATED WELL. William Lees, no fixed alxide, was


charged with being drunk. P.C. Rushton stated tkat at 8-50 p.m. on


Saturday he and P.C. Savage received in­ formation aliout a man haring been run oier in Accrington road, Whalley. On going x> Che place they found prisoner lying on die footpath. They examined him and found a slight bruise at the back of his head. Pris­ oner was unable to walk and ithey took'him to tlhe jxilice station on a stretcher.

The man pulled up so suddenly thart his wife .and two year old child were thnown out. -
