Not the least quaint and interesting
way of celebrating the coronation Of
Edward VII. is that which will prob
ably be carried out at DENLY Dale
near Barnslcy. For over 100 years
the inhabitants have baked large pies
in commemoration of remarkable
events. As far back as the recovery
of George Ill. the practice prevailed.
and another occasion was the .cOnclu-
sion of peace between England and
France in 1915, when the pie contained
half a sheep, twenty fowls and half a
peck OF flour To celebrate her late
majestys jubilee, the pie was baked
in 4 dish weighing fifteen cwt. 1t was
eight feet I'm diameter, two In depth,
and the total weight was over two
tons. The cost was ESQ, and 1t was
drawn by ten horses. Unfortunately.
the pie. when cut. was found to be
