.' In an[exceedlhgly Interesting article In another column , today, ,Mr.; Arthur Langshaw, contrasts our modern Mayor’s Day procewlpn -With that of the'past^to the ;dlspafagement’of the present. His observations are based,, of course, on last year’s procession and; In one respect, at any rate', a n ; Improvement will be found nbxt 'Wednesday when the Mayoral,!! group emerges ,from, “ the Swab.” [ Indeed, before i t emergeSj since the Improvement Is In the garb of halberd-bearers who normally guard the entrance,,tb the hotel while the Mayoral party assembles. No longer arei our halberdiers to' be j seen In lounge suits sunhounted by top-hats. They are now to wear handsome cloaks 'An^^ three- cornered hats, and thus comes back Into th e ; procession at least one patch . pf[ colour. Mr, LangshaW would prefer
knec-breeihes, too,'but for that he; must wait awhile. Perhaps, too, he would like ■ to see the City. Fathers themselyes attired’■ In cloaks and three-cornered, hats. , For that, we fear, he must wait longer still—

on Tuesday, the composition of the TovVn ' Council remaining unaltered, there was' perhaps [less call thari usual for the “Cockle and Mussel Feast,” but we' are glad to know that it was held just the same, pr^erving an! old custom of which the town Is proud. Actually, all the Cockle and Mussel feast amounts to Is an Informal; little dinner given by thejMayor to his Council the day af ter the rhunlcl- pal election, to enable them to select the committees they will appoint on Novem ber 9th.; \Apparently the meal at ,to t, consisted of, cockles and mussels only.' This fare Illustrated an Inter-town .trade: which now seems curious. [ Cockles and mussels [were brought to ClltheToe for sale on fcertaln days each week by men; from Mbrecambe and Lancaster, j TOey came through the Trough of Rowland, along ropgh tracks across the moors, with their cockles and mussels slung In pan- ;- nier baskets over the backs of ponles- On the return journey, the horses carried lime froln the quarries, or other material obtained in ’!'the'district. Some early Mayor, wanting toltalk'over the toy?p’s business with his Council In advance of the first me'etlng;, Invited them to a simple meal of cockles and mussels. The meeting wasj useful and the meal served to sw'eeten the a'cerbltes of the election. It was repeated by later mayors
imd.now the Cockle qnd Mussel Feast, Is part of Clltherbe’s Mayorpmaklng procedure. They still sepe cockles and mussels at this feast, but only as a preliminary, to remind the Clouncll of Its origins; - '•
