For a number of years he was secretary of the Agricultural Society, succeeding the late Mr J. E. Tilburu. He was also secretary of the Fire Brigade. He has been for many years one of the secretaries of the Barnard Castle Conservative Club aud secretary to the Barnard Castle aud Teesdale Benefit Building Society. A sportsman of repute, he has represented Baruard Castle iu both cricket aud football fields, aud iu his early- days he acted as secretary of the Baruard Castle Football Club. He is a keen cueist aud cau bold his own with most people ou the greeu cloth. He was secretary of the Soldiers aud. Sailors Families'Association iu the early days of the war. Mr Nicholson is expected to take his spat ou the magisterial bench at Baruard Castle this morning. FOOTBALL. The gKiue in thefinalof the loeal Medal Competi- tion on Saturday, was contested with great keenness, hotli teams putting in all their worth. The honours went to StAindrop, although the consensus of opinion was that the Cocinthi ians showed the hatter form, and were unlucky ••> not wresting this, the Leal of the honours from their op[H>iicnls. The game wa< witnessed by a good crowd, and from start to IUMJ-II excitement Kin high', each side bang vociferously urged on by the partisans. The final score was Staindrop 2, Corinthians 1. Slaindrop now hold all the trophies of the league, \'u :—the League Championship Cup, Nursing Cup, and the Medal Competition Shield—truly a great achievement in a single season.

HELM Kit. Romaldkirk. HAPPY FUNCTION AT BARNARD CASTLE. The first dinner connected with the Barnard Castle Chamber of Trade was held at the Kings' Head Hotel on Friday night, about 30 members, including several ladies, being present. Mr J . W. B. Heslop, president of the Chamber, received the guests. After diuuer, the Presideut submitted tbe loyal and patriotic toast aud referred to tbe marvellous reception which the Royal Family had when opening the Wembley exhibition on Wednesday as an instance of the people's love for the King. An adjournment was then made upstairs where the remainder of the speichmakiug was interspersed with music and mirth. Mr G. Hepper, Stockton, was tbe entertainer aud with his illimitable store of anecdotes aud wit, always refined, be kept the company iu con- tinuous laughter. Mr J . Franklin ably accom- panied the songs on the piano. T11K Sl'EBC'HKS. Mr A. H . Nicbolsou, iu proposing the toast of the evening, " The Baruard Castle Chamber of Trade," was enthusiastically greeted. He remarked.tbat he felt it a great honour to be asked as" Chairman of the Urban District Council to propose the toast. Unfortunately at the present time trade in Baruard Castle and district, in fact throughout the county, was, he believed, very bad indeed. Being iu an agricultural area the towu relied to a great extent on the success of the agricultural indus- try. For five mouths the local auction mart bad been closed owing to the outbreak of the Foot and Mouth Disease, aud this undoubtedly had meant a great loss to tbe town. Speaking of auction marts, Mr Nicholson said they would have noticed that it was intended to form one at Middleton-in-Teesdale, and how that would affect Barnard Castle remains to be seen. He could not help thinking, however, that it would be a good thing if some suggestion could be put forward whereby the two marts could amalgamate. He trusted, now that the summer was approaching, better times would be in store for the town and neighbourhood. There were some people who were opposed to motors aud chars a-baucs coming to the town, but he personally was desirous of ».«iug as many as possible come, because not ouly did they bring a certain amount of money, but the more the people came the more it was advertised The Couucil has already approached the rail- way company with the object of gettiug an adequate traiu service, and this was a step iu the right direction. Iu conclusion. Mr Nichol- son assured the company that the Couucil would always be ready to receive suggestions from the Chamber of Trade for furthering the interests of the towu, and that anything they might propose would always receive the careful consideration of the Couucil. (Applause). CO-Ol'KBATIOS IN OKOAXISATIOS. The President, in reply, congratulated Mr Nicholson ou being elected Chairman of the Couucil. Like himself Mr Nicholson was a native of Baruard Castle, aud they were proud to kuow that he had risen to the highest position iu the town. (Applause). He thanked Mr Nicholson for what he had said about the Chamber of Trade, aud was glad to bear that any suggestion the Chamber might make to the Couucil would receive sympathetic con- sideration. When he (Mr Heslop) was appointed- President of the Chamber, the thought occurred to him that it would be nice to have a social gathering such as this—and be was giad that the ladies had beeu invited—where they could express their views upou matter.^ atlectiug the trade of tbe towu. Everyone of them had the well-being of Baruard Castle at heart, but he was afraid there were rather too many organiz- ations existiug for the same object. It was a mistake to have too many associations. What they needed was co-operation for the fnrther improvement ol the towu. Ho was glad that tbe Chairmau of the Couucil encouraged tbe coming of chars a bancs to Baruard Castle, convinced as he was that people ouly had to visit the town to become lovers of its beauty aud charm ; because it was, indeed, a beauty spot. (Hear, hear). Oue thing very much needed was a secondary school for girls, and be hoped everythiug would be done to have oue established iu the towu. (Applausei. " The towu and trade of Baruard Castle " was submitted by Mr R. Woodhauis, who referred to the difficulties experienced by the tradesnieu iu the towu attributable directly to the closiug orders necessitated by the outbreak of foot aud mouth disep.se. Baruard Castle was essentially an agricultural district, aud when the farmers iu the neighbourhood could not sell their live stock it affected the towu to a very great exteut. He was giad, however, to know that strong representations were beiug inade to the Ministry of Agriculture to get the order suspended. T11K TOWN'S SKIPS. Mr .1. lugram l)aw-ou, Clerk to the Crbau Council, iu response, said that haviug beeu lu the towu 41 years be claimed to kuow some- thing of its requirements, its aspirations and failings. He said Baruard Cattle was a place of lost opportunity aud referred to the fact I that cousiderable improvements might have I beer, made at very iittle expeuse it tney bad I ouly exercised foresight. They must look ahead aud go forward, for staguatiou meant j death. They had many natural beauties aud j attractions. There were tbe lovely woods, ! which Lord Baruard opeueit to the town at a ' noiuiual reut; a museum which was the best I out of Loudou; a goli course, au auuual . eyclislb' meet which brought thousaud* ol visitors, aud a musical toiiruaiiKul whiei: probably brought more p. opie to the towu | thau au-ythiug eise; as well as ill—f other thiugs. But there were several things they lacked, inciudiug a new market house aud | municipal buildings worthy of the place. They I required business men ol foresight to ta^e au 1 active interest in the welfare ot the towu, aud be instanced the good doue by the late Mr Robert Barker, who. he saiu. always looked ••0 years ahead. It was he Who proposed Who (lagging ol the town, aini who also was the meaus ot getting the reservoir and tuauy other tlnugs. What they r.quired were meu who dreamed dreams and saw visious, l«cause th. ideal of today became, the real ol to-morrow. (Applause). The siugiugof tbe National Autium brought a most eujoyablc luuctiou to a close. IH)R01"HY." FOR BEST RESULTS ON BAKING DAYS USE LlNGFO R D8' BAKING POWDER CELLIEK'S OPERA AT B.VK.NAKU CAS I I.E. Last night, with the promise oi a success!iii run, the Barnard Caslie Amateur Operatic Society made their atuiti.il ajqvarauce with Celiier's comedy opera, " Dorothy." Judgiug by the booking ot seats, which beg.tu sctcrai weeks ago, the members ot the society stand high in the regard of local playgoers, aud it is to be hoped that those who uo not book their seats iu advance wiil show the same cucouiag - inent lor our local amateurs. It is impossible iu this week's paper to do mure thau mention the opening of the presentation. Opening nights do uot as a rule show the actors auu actresses at their b^si. ! uj from wiiat we have seen we are convinced that no pains have b-'eu , spared to make the week a i.,emorable oue iu i the annals of the local The piiuM.

At Thursday's Urban Council meeting a discussion arose from which it is hoped may come an improvement iu the Barnard Castle train service. Strangers have wondered why the inhabitants put up with so scanty a railway service. They who kuow a little more about it are surprised that the local authority has not done more to impress the railway people with a sense of their duty.

HAPPY F U N C T I O N A T BARNARD C A S T L E .

The first dinner connected with the Barnard Castle Chamber of Trade was held at the Kings' Head Hotel on Friday night, about 30 members, including several ladies, being present. Mr J . W. B. Heslop, president of the Chamber, received the guests.

After diuuer, the Presideut submitted tbe loyal and patriotic toast aud referred to tbe marvellous reception which the Royal Family had when opening the Wembley exhibition on Wednesday as an instance of the people's love for the King.

An adjournment was then made upstairs where the remainder of the speichmakiug was interspersed with music and mirth. Mr G. Hepper, Stockton, was tbe entertainer aud with his illimitable store of anecdotes aud wit, always refined, be kept the company iu con­tinuous laughter. Mr J . Franklin ably accom­panied the songs on the piano.

T11K Sl'EBC'HKS. Mr A. H. Nicbolsou, iu proposing the toast

of the evening, " The Baruard Castle Chamber of Trade," was enthusiastically greeted. He remarked.tbat he felt it a great honour to be asked as" Chairman of the Urban District Council to propose the toast. Unfortunately at the present time trade in Baruard Castle and district, in fact throughout the county, was, he believed, very bad indeed. Being iu an agricultural area the towu relied to a great extent on the success of the agricultural indus­try. For five mouths the local auction mart bad been closed owing to the outbreak of the Foot and Mouth Disease, aud this undoubtedly had meant a great loss to tbe town. Speaking of auction marts, Mr Nicholson said they would have noticed that it was intended to form one at Middleton-in-Teesdale, and how that would affect Barnard Castle remains to be seen. He could not help thinking, however, that it would be a good thing if some suggestion could be put forward whereby the two marts could amalgamate. He trusted, now that the summer was approaching, better times would be in store for the town and neighbourhood. There were some people who were opposed to motors aud chars a-baucs coming to the town, but he personally was desirous of ».«iug as many as possible come, because not ouly did they bring a certain amount of money, but the more the people came the more it was advertised The Couucil has already approached the rail­way company with the object of gettiug an adequate traiu service, and this was a step iu the right direction. Iu conclusion. Mr Nichol­son assured the company that the Couucil would always be ready to receive suggestions from the Chamber of Trade for furthering the interests of the towu, and that anything they might propose would always receive the careful consideration of the Couucil. (Applause).

CO-Ol'KBATIOS IN OKOAXISATIOS. The President, in reply, congratulated Mr

Nicholson ou being elected Chairman of the Couucil. Like himself Mr Nicholson was a native of Baruard Castle, aud they were proud to kuow that he had risen to the highest position iu the town. (Applause). He thanked Mr Nicholson for what he had said about the Chamber of Trade, aud was glad to bear that any suggestion the Chamber might make to the Couucil would receive sympathetic con­sideration. When he (Mr Heslop) was appointed-President of the Chamber, the thought occurred to him that it would be nice to have a social gathering such as this—and be was giad that the ladies had beeu invited—where they could express their views upou matter. atlectiug the trade of tbe towu. Everyone of them had the well-being of Baruard Castle at heart, but he was afraid there were rather too many organiz­ations existiug for the same object. It was a mistake to have too many associations. What they needed was co-operation for the fnrther improvement ol the towu. Ho was glad that tbe Chairmau of the Couucil encouraged tbe coming of chars a bancs to Baruard Castle, convinced as he was that people ouly had to visit the town to become lovers of its beauty aud charm ; because it was, indeed, a beauty spot. (Hear, hear). Oue thing very much needed was a secondary school for girls, and be hoped everythiug would be done to have oue established iu the towu. (Applausei.

" The towu and trade of Baruard Castle " was submitted by Mr R. Woodhauis, who referred to the difficulties experienced by the tradesnieu iu the towu attributable directly to the closiug orders necessitated by the outbreak of foot aud mouth disep.se. Baruard Castle was essentially an agricultural district, aud when the farmers iu the neighbourhood could not sell their live stock it affected the towu to a very great exteut. He was giad, however, to know that strong representations were beiug inade to the Ministry of Agriculture to get the order suspended.

T11K TOWN'S S K I P S . Mr .1. lugram l)aw-ou, Clerk to the Crbau

Council, iu response, said that haviug beeu lu the towu 41 years be claimed to kuow some­thing of its requirements, its aspirations and failings. He said Baruard Cattle was a place of lost opportunity aud referred to the fact

I that cousiderable improvements might have I beer, made at very iittle expeuse it tney bad I ouly exercised foresight. They must look

ahead aud go forward, for staguatiou meant j death. They had many natural beauties aud j attractions. There were tbe lovely woods, ! which Lord Baruard opeueit to the town at a ' noiuiual reut; a museum which was the best I out of Loudou; a goli course, au auuual . eyclislb' meet which brought thousaud* ol

visitors, aud a musical toiiruaiiKul whiei: probably brought more p. opie to the towu

| thau au-ythiug eise; as well as ill—f other • thiugs. But there were several things they

lacked, inciudiug a new market house aud | municipal buildings worthy of the place. They I required business men ol foresight to ta^e au 1 active interest in the welfare ot the towu, aud

be instanced the good doue by the late Mr Robert Barker, who. he saiu. always looked ••0 years ahead. It was he Who proposed Who (lagging ol the town, aini who also was the meaus ot getting the reservoir and tuauy other tlnugs. What they r.quired were meu who dreamed dreams and saw visious, l«cause th. ideal of today became, the real ol to-morrow. (Applause).

The siugiugof tbe National Autium brought a most eujoyablc luuctiou to a close.
