The Cinque Ports.

AN ANCIENT CEREMONIAL.

A ceremonial of historic int&reat was witnessed at Hastings recently, when th© Brotherhood and Qnestling of the Cinque Port met in general meeting, once more to assert their an oienfc rights, which in the present in- I italic©} arise in connection with the Coronation of King Edward VII Deputations from the Oiuque Forts, ihe ancient towns, and ' limbs' as sembled shortly after noon in the Town Hall, where, being robed, they heard the Oder of the Borough make Ihe quaint proclamation ordering their presence. The Solicitor to the Ports (Sir Wollaston Itoocker) called the names of the members attending, and the Speaker forthwith appointed tbe Bishop of Chichester hia Chaplain for the day* Wearing their robes and chains of office, the Mayors of thirteen Boroughs had assembled obedient to the Spea- J ker's summons,, With the chief Mag istrates were Aldermen and Councillors, accompanied, in the case of each Corporation, by the Town Clerk, officially robed, aud preceded by tbe ttergeants and Maces, The civic con tingent from Eye, an * ancient t3wn,' took precedence by reason of the fact that its Mayor (Mr Frank Jarrett) is also Speaker of the Ports. Next came the representatives of Hastings, whose claim to the distinction of being senior of the Oinque Port 3is still challenged by Dover. Following these were gentleman who appeared for Sandwich, Dover, Komney, and Bye, succeeded, in tarn, by the Municipal Guardians of Wincheleea, another * ancient town/ and by those deputed to aot for Deal and Eamsgate (as limbs of Sandwich), for Faversbam, Folkestone, and Mar gate (as limbs of Dover), and for Lydd ! (as a limb of Romney), Tenterden, which it still designated a limb of Kye, had not made any return. It had been ordered that a procession should go on foot to St. Clement's, the parish church ; but a heavy shower of rain compelled recourse to carriages, although the remainder of the day was fine. Deputies occupied the greater part of the navp, and tbe rest of the chnrcfa was filled by the general public. The sermon was preached by the Bishop of Chichester, who, taking as hia text the words •Without me ye can do nothing." (St John XV j part of v 5), held np as pattern for Imitation the manner in which the Cinque Ports had in the past preserved the civil and religious liberties of the people, warning his hearers that a time might even yet come when it would be necessary for Ifaem to show their strength in defence of their liberties. Unless he was greatly mistaken, he added, the people | had made up their minds that, what ever else happened, they would not submit to foreign interference in natters civil, political, or religions. Subsequently the Mayor?, Jurats, Alderman, Freemen, Councillors, and Oombarons ol the Five Ports, the two ancient towns, and their members lupohed together at the Queens Hotel Ijnnch over, the members of the Brotherhood and Guestling returned to the Town Hall, where, all being seated in order assigned, the Deputations handed in their returns, and individ ually subscribed to the oath. The Speaker appointed as his Olerk for the day £ Sir Walter Dawes, Town Olerk of Bye,' to whom was administered the oath of office. The Solicitor to the Ports next read, from what ia known |n the archives of the Parts as the * Black Book,' the decrees mada on the 13th day of August, in the 18th year of the reign of her Majesty Queen Eliz- Qbfttb, as. wel^ as the orders ai^d decrees of tbe'last Courts, held at Dover on Jane 26,1897. It next became the duty of the Clerk of the day to present tbe letter of summons Issued for the occasion, together with the returns pre. rented by the several authorities repre sented. Not until this had been done was the Speaker abje to. declare the », Courts o,f Brotherhood and Queatling' $uly opened, and it became his duty to explain why it bad besn considered (jtaifable |hat they should be convened, fjo''be bolden at Hastings, * instead of Bomney as usual.' The substantial reason assigned wa,s that, as the Bro therhood and Guestling had not n?et in Hastings^ since 1660, it was felt that the time had come when its members might with advantage assemble in the borough. •Freedom of debate' bad been declared, and, thereupon, two of the representatives of Dover offered friendly but emphatic protest against the claim which Hastings had set np in the agenda of being th© 'senior port.' By a happy suggestion from one of the Favensham representatives, the discussion as to the rival merits of tbe two ports was relegated to the end oi tbe regular business, and then it was allowed to rest for subsequent arbitrament.

"I have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla for loss of appetite, indigestion, and. to give tone and vigor to my system when training for hicycle racing. I only used three bottles ; but it was enough to improve my appetite and thoroughly restore my strength and health. I also gained flesh rapidly to my normal weight. 14 As a blood-purifier and general tonic for those who are affected, by Mac long, hot summers of Australia there is no medicine like it." It is because of such testimonials that Ayer's Sarsaparilla is called "The World's Greatest Family Medicine." We could show yon hundreds o! such letters as this. They all say that Ayer's Sarsaparilla helps every one who tries it. It always does good and sometimes makes such wonderful cures that they seem like miracles.
