ENGLISH HELD MANY FEAsTs
Oyster Festival, White Bait Dinner,
Fish Pie and Sausage Repasts,
Among Former Celebrations.

There is scarcely an old city or vii.
lage in England that formerly did not
have an annual banquet of some sort,
designed to advertise the particular
products for which the place Is fam
Gus, observes correspondent. Col
chester had its annual oyster feast,
which was given every October, usu-
ally at the beginning Of the month.
But that was comparatively modern
festival. Much more ancient was the
yearly white bait dinner at Greenwich,
which at one time was almost as great
a social event as the dinner given by
the lord mayor Of London.
The fish pie dinner. at Gorleston,
near Yarmouth, had as its guests each
year 65 fishermen, with the vicar at
the head Of the table. The number at
the table was strictly limited to 65,
except the vicar, and was never more
or less. At Yarmouth. the home Of
the far-famed Yarmouth bloater, the
annual herring dinner was quite an
event. The menu consisted entirely of
herring Of all ages from infant sprats
to grandfather herring, prepared in
many different ways. Peterborough's
sausage dinner was given every year
by the mayor and corporation Of the
town, and every variety Of sausage
known was served to the guests. An
other famous feed. was the venison
dinner given at Farnham by the bishop
Of Winchester.
