- - - -SATURDAY, JULY 25,…
SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1914. Topical Tattle. Wbeln a little less than two years ago the Royal Hall, Ledbury, blossomed forth as a Picture Palace, there were the wise ones who r said Letbury could never support such a place uf entertainment. But this prediction [ proved an untrue one, and now Ledbury is to have the opportunity of endeavouring to support two picture palaces. Next Monday the Royal Hall is to re-open as the Picture- drome under the management of Mr E H Hopkins, and a week later the new Cinema in Homend-street will open under the management of Mr L P Hoult. The public, at all events, will be well catered for with two picture palaces in the town. As I confidently predicted in this column the National Conservative League excursion to Portsmouth on Saturday last was an un- qualified success, nearly 400 people making the journey. True, they were far from being all Ledburians, but the singular part of the excursion was the manner in which it was patronised by the people resident in the country districts. Those who went out on the boats had a good view of the pride of all Britishers, the Fleet, and although the King did not arrive till somewhat late in the day, yet many of the trippers had the good fortune to make their excursion on the sea about the same time as the King arrived. Everybody appears to have enjoyed them- selves hugely. What about Brighton next year ? A After a fairly quiet period locally, so far as outdoor attractions are concerned, we are now entering upon the month of flower shows. Commencing with Colwall, Red- marley, Much Marcle, Dymock and Stoke Edith will follow in succession, and Odd- fellows' and Foresters' fetes fill in other dates. And among it all, Ledbury, the centre of the district, will be without a flower show, or a fete, or sports, or anything else, but then we shall have two picture palaces—so what more can one expect. But, oh for the days of the old Oddfellows' and Foresters' fete and the horse and flower shows. Even Bosbury has lost its hone show, and the Oddfellows' fete is very small bones to what it used to be. ♦ The often repeated adage that it's an ill wind that blows no one any good was borne* out at Colwall on Saturday last. On the cricket field, which is noted for its fine belt of trees, without any warning and while the match between Ledbury and Colwall was in progress, a large branch suddenly fell to the ground, where a few minutes before a number of youths bad been standing. The management of the Cricket Club felt pleased to know that no one was hurt, and that they were relieved from paying compensation for inj ury to anyone, the funds of the club being low, and the windfall was to go to the relief of the same. The Committee was hurriedly called together to decide the price of the spoil. But judge of their surprise and cbargin when they emerged from the committee room to find that the undertaker had arrived with a powerful staff with saws, axes and choppers, ropes, ladders, trucks, &c., and had already removed the branc hes and was about to remove the body. This was more than the Committee could stand, and they had the gates locked immediately, and a strict watch is to be kept pending further developments. One gathers from tbe annual report of the Ledbury Building Society that the operations of the Society are very nearly at an end. There can be no doubt that tbe directors can look with pride on their achievements, for one has only to turn to the Newbury Park, Belle Orchard, Bank Crescent and Woodleigh estates to realise what a mark the Society has left on the town and what a shortage of dwelling-houses there would have been bad not the Society existed. One gathers that ere long the Society will have discharged the mission for which it was called into being, and in the future we must look to our Urban Council to meet the demands of Ledbury in providing facilities for the housing of its population. And I trust the Council will be as successful in its endeavours as has the Ledbury Building Society. # It is extremely likely that should anyone require to hire a motcr-car in Ledbury to-morrow (Saturday) will be unable to do so, as I hear the' cars from the two local garages have all been commandeered for tbe purpose of conveying the members of the Led bury and District Lodge of the National Conservative League to Bryngwyn, where the annual outing of the South Herefordshire lodges is to be held. ♦ An amusing incident occured at a neigh- bouring country town by the side of which runs the river Severn on Tuesday last, and as it concerns the fire brigade, I think it just as well to let Ledbury people know of it, and perhaps they will compare this exhibition with that of our own brigade, who thank goodness, can do a good deal better than this, although they are only a volunteer brigade. A friend of mine was talking to a boatman by tbe river-side and hearing a bell ring he remarked What bell is that ? Oh that be the school bell" was the reply. But was the reply it has been ringing for half an hour." Looking at his watch my friend found it was nearly two o'clock, so he strolled towards the town, when a boy said Be you gwine to the fire, sir." Hurrying along he came to the Fire Station and found an excited crowd gathered in tbe street. Owing to the Captain of the Brigade being away with the key, the doors had to be forced open, and some men from among tbe crowd were pressed into service. After half-an-hour's work getting the engine into the street the men found that they had forgotten to order the horses! ♦ Off went Joe to the contractor for the gees. "I want horses for the fire engine 44 Ob, do you," replied the contractor, well, the horses are all out; you must go up to the field and take two off the hay waggon." Another 20 minutes paesed. The fat cart horses at last arrived, were hooked on the engine and eft the brigade started with cheers from the crowd. On the river bridge the harness broke. After a brief delay for repairs they were off again, till they got about a mile out. They pulled up as a boy accosted them, saying You can go back; the fire is out." No fear," replied Jack, and whipping up his team off they went again as fast as thr fr-e8 could walk. Finally the fire lighters arrived at the scene of the fire and started operations, but found that in the excitement they had forgotten to bring the hose! The fire having burnt out by this time they adjourned to a neighbouring pub to await the arrival of the Captain. He ordered the brigade home, but still, I understand, they claim their pay. The brigade arrived home ab, ut 8.30 amidst ringing cheers from the crowd, and cries of Well done, A remark was heard afterwards, Well, thw is what we pay 109 in the £ rates for." No suffragette literature was found near the scene of the fire. I hear on good authority that the town is considering the advisability of having a motor fire engine. TATTLER.

EXCURSION.—On Saturday last the most popular excursion of the year ran from Ledbury, that organised by the Ledbury and District Lodge of the National Conservative League, took place to Portsmouth. The Fleet being assembled off Spithead for inspection by the King, the trip was largely patronised, the train consisting of 14 coaches and three saloons, carrying nearly 400 passengers. Leaving Led- bury at 4 a.m. the trippers made a good out- ward journey, arriving at the dockyard town ward journey, arriv i iii shortly before nine o'clock. As usual on these excursions refreshments of all kinds were dis- pensed on the journey, the wants of the mem- bers of the league and their friends being attended to by an efficient staff, who did their work well. On arrival at Portsmouth many took advantage of sea trips to Southampton and the Isle of Wight; others paid a visit to where the Fleet was at anchor, while Southsea and Portsmouth came in for patromge. Water- planes were to be seen in flight during the day, and these proved a scource of great attraction to many. The King visited Portsmouth in the evening and paid a visit to the warships. Generally speaking, everybody seemed highly delighted with the trip, which was joined in by the Ledbury Chuch Choir, the employees of the Malvern Gazette," Yarkhill Church Choir, a large party from Madresfield, and other com- binations. At 11-30 p.m. the return journey was commenced, and Ledbury was once again reached shortly before tive o'clock on Sunday morning. Mr T E Hewins was the hon. sec- retary for the excursion and admirably carried out his duties, and was well backed up by the Committee. Nurse Laxton, Clarence House, Worcester Road, Ledbury, wishes to announce that she is at liberty to undertake Maternity Cases, privately, at the low fee of IfJ, (working class), town and country, within a radius of five miles. Also any general case of sickness can be attended for a. very small fee. Every case strictly private. —Advert. J. W.
