NEWS ARTICLES CONISTON & HAWKSHEAD. ****** LAKESIDE.        A party which numbered about 700 people, consisting of Baptist School children, together with their teachers and other friends, visited Lakeside on Saturday afternoon. The members of the party hailed from Barrow, and their excursion had originally been arranged to take place on the 22nd of July, but owing to the heavy rain which fell on that day, the outing was postponed until last Saturday. The weather was again somewhat unfavourable, but the visitors managed to enjoy themselves until very heavy rain set in between five and six o'clock.        Owing to the adverse weather the special train which conveyed the party returned on the homeward journey about an hour before the scheduled time. Owing to the stormy weather which prevailed on Sunday, we had a smaller number of visitors than we have had on any other Sunday for some time past.        One of the usual Sunday trains was cancelled, in consequence of there being no passengers from either Blackpool or Fleetwood, the weather having proved altogether too boisterous for the steamboat, which plies between  Fleetwood and Barrow, to venture across Morecambe Bay. ****** LANGDALE NOTES.        The new Vicar took up his abode in Langdale this week, and the Church bells were merrily rung on Friday night in honour of the event. **        A ball, in connection with the football club, was held on Friday night in the Drill Hall, Elterwater, and despite the adverse weather conditions was fairly well attended. **        The new school at Little Eangdale was opened on Monday morning, when the children reassembled after the summer holidays. ****** HAWKSHEAD PETTY SESSIONS MONDAY.        Before Major W. ALCOCK-BECK and H. S. COWPER, Esq., John PATTINSON, farmer, Yew Tree Farm, Coniston, was charged with failing to deliver up to the nearest police station, on the 16th August, and order for removal of swine from Millom to Coniston, within 48 hours of such removal.        Defendant pleaded not guilty, and  said on previous occasions the sender had obtained the order and had delivered  up the order.        P. S. OLDFIELD and P. C. SMITH gave evidence, and defendant was fined 2s 6d and 10s 6d costs. **        James AIREY, innkeeper, Outgate, was charged at the instance of Inspector BLACKSHAW, inspector of weights and measures with having glasses in his possession for trade purposes, which were unstamped.        Defendant pleaded guilty to having them in his possession, but he did not use them. They were half pints, and although they had half pints on the bottom, they were unstamped when he got them along with some pints which were stamped  from the manufacturer.        A fine of 1s and 11s 6d costs was imposed. ******
