AUCTION BY CANDLE LIGHT.
An Ancient Custom stiII in Vogue
Among the People of Dorset
shire, England.

The discovery that there still ex-
lists in Dorsetshire, England an an
cient custom of holding an auction
by candlelight has directed attention
to the fact that Warwickshire can
also lay claim to this quaint relic Of
bygone days Mr.. George Morley, in
his book on "Shakespeare's Green
wood" says that not far from the
field where the crown of Richard the
Third is said to have been hidden
after the battle Of Bosworth Field.
an auction by candlelight takes place
every year. At one of the two inns
in the parish of Warton, an auction
is held each October for the sale Of
grazing rights on the roadside and
common lands of the village, and the
sale, which for a hundred years and
more has been the annual event
which makes life in Wharton inter-
esting, is conducted by the road sur
veyor under regulations laid down in
an act of parliament. Five lots are
let for the year at each auction sale,
and the tallow, candle, Mr. Morley
tells us, is ''cut into five lengths half
an inch high. each half-ineh of candle
being for one lot. Then the road
surveyor proceeds 10 describe the
lots. This is highly amusing in its
way, for the promotion to the post
of honor in the sale usually inspires
the road surveyor with pretty wit;
and he alludes quite gayly to the
sporting rights over an old gravel
pit and to the pond in lot l. which
has no fish in it. and concludes with
the exhortation: "Get on. gentle
men, please; the lights burning"
But the eyes Of the company are at
tracted to the fame Of the candle.
1t is something to watch. something
to make jests upon. And yet the
company show not the slightest dis
position to bid for the herbage un-
til the candlelight is dying out. Then
the competition is remarkably brisk,
and at the last flicker Of the fame
the lot IS knocked down amid roarS
Of laughter.

ed. Mr.. Blakeney also gave two vocal
