,after three minutes. The horses came racing down. Moor Lane,
were speedily harnessed and the steamer drawn off along Lowergate at a tremendous rate, arriving at the mill only 13 minutes after the alarm was raised.
... Owing to too much water in the boiler,' : steam was not raised as speedily as had been expected, but 15 minutes after arriving on the spot, water was being poured on to the build-

Clitheroe had scored three grand goals, two of them direct from his passes, and won the
game hands down. □ A Chatburn beekeeper and naturalist
