There’ were dresses in accordance with modern styles, but the major- ity were suggestive of the pictur- eflilllo rieflisna of past centuries.

Their parade in ‘tho ‘Market-place where they assembled fully equipped with their bells, showed ‘that in some towns the crier must be ‘an ornament in any civic procession. lThey marched from the market-place to- the sports ileld, where the contest was held.
