Gala at Conisbro’

On Saturday, a gala took place in Pigott’s field, and was under the patronage of the cricket and football clubs, as well as of the local friendly and benefit societies.

A football match between Mexbro’ and Conisbro’ teams and a cricket match were arranged.

The Conisbro’ Brass Band’ (far the benefit of which the gala was held) attended, and Mr. Shaw’s String Band and the Conisbro’ Musical Society rendered selections at intervals, Mr. J.I Beardsley conducting.

The weather was gloriously fine, and the attendance was large.
