the same dimensions as that of Coroha tlon day. Thus 12,000 people at! least have seen how Clitheroe presents history in outline and the town has achieved another advertisement which if we were an'enterprislng seaslde tesort would bring in the shekels In the shape Of thousands upon, thousands of hew visitors,' but which' we have not yet acquired the art 'of turning to! good account. However,[the £500 votbd for the Coronation by the Town Council should hardly be[ needed, as, the Pageant proceeds exceed that afficunt and £73 was raised by the torchfight procession. Clltheroe’s decoratfons, though following no rigid scheme, worked out to the smallest detail) were neatly effective and compared favour­ ably with those of any of their pear neighbours, evoking comments of admir­ ation from the thousands of people who have passed through the town dunng the last ten days. The crowd who watched the torchlight procession |dld not seem to be, quite so large or so tightly packed as the one of two years ago.lbtit nevertheless the procession was witpessed by many thousands of visitors as


townspeople. The intenal between King George V.’s Silver Jubilee and| the crowning ot King George VI. and Queen Elizabeth has been perhaps too'sport for the spectacular part of the proceed­ ings this time to make quite' the same outstanding appeal as It did two yearp ago. Moreover torchlight processions this Coronation have been more numerous than In 1935. Clitheroe’s fame for this sort of carnival has spread far and wide and mother towns have now tried their hand! at it we can only accept their competition as the slncprest form of flattery.
