eOUntahly loOksd HPoa ey that party wIEA
disfavoS. WhethcF they considered their
plentifal alIowaBee Of batter e waste, or
whether they had bad dAgessioos and
grudRed the cakes 10 those who had bet
ter ones, IL not known; but certain IL Is
that they formed 80 strong party about
this time that they pulled TO the ground
old "Banbury Cross" 80 celebrated in
our nursery rhymes.
So the people Of Banbury made two
parties, and waged war right valiantly
upon each other; suppose It must have
been with their tongues, for never
heard of any other weapons being used
but anyway, half the bakers turned
preachers, and preached down the cakes
and the rival cake-makers, and the town
was in such 0 commotion that none we're
made for many a long day. Thus the
Banbury pastry came to have new in
terest, since it formed the bone of con-
tention over which grave learned men
fought with such vigor.
It is said that the Puritans looked upon
the cakes as a superstitious relic, because
they we're more used at religious seasons
than at other tines, and wished to pro.
.hibit the sale of them only on feast or
Aast days. And, indeed, cakes have al
ways, from time to time, had peculiar
religious significance attached to them.
There are those made at Congleton, in
Cheshire, triangular in shape, with q
raisin In each corner, emblematic of the
Trinity. The New Years Day God cakes
of Coveptry; the Good Friday bun, with
its cross; the Jewish Passover cake.
And, again, the Puritans treated the
mince-pie with religious observance; and
the old rule rigidly adhered to by them
was, that the crust of this pie should al
ways be oblong In shape, in imitation of
the manger wherein our Savior was laid,
the mince inside being supposed to refer
to the gifts of the wise men.
So more than fifty years passed away,
and these cakes were still regarded with
disfavor, and ceased to be sold at the
roadside inns and taverns, formerly their
principal depots; and none were made in
that old English town, except, I suppose,
now and then q painful ON the sly, by
some white-haired old baker, just to see
that the cunning had not left his hand,
or perhaps for his pretty grand children
who had heard their fathers talk many @
time of the battle of Banbury Cross, and
wondered how the cakes tasted whose
name had passed into proverb. .
Now, when Charles II. became King
Of England, that monarch "who never
said foolish thing and never did wise
one" the Banbury bakers began to see
bright times ahead of them, and to get
down old dusty receipt books that had
been laid away on the shelves by their
fathers with leaf turned down ut "Ban-
bury cakes" For Merrie Monarch had
come to rule them who lived Tor the in
diligence of his appetite and cared little
for matters Of state or party qaarrels.
And 90 once more the time came when
hungry, belated travellers, stopping at
English inns On country roads, were
served with tAnkh-sis of foaming ale and
hot B&nbury cakes 10 send them on their
way rejoicing.
At the present day these cakes are
more widely sold than ever, and in ls41
