Preston Guardian
Saturday 2 April 1853
Good Friday
On of the best signs of the times in which we live appears in the way in which the people dispose of their holidays, as they seem at last to have hit upon the plan of "promoting conviviality" without the fear of them ending in noisy and turbulent brawls. We perceived that tea gatherings were announced to take place in connection with most of the Sunday schools of the town, to be followed by recitations, addresses, &c.; whilst at Salem school the members of a drum and fife band in connection therewith made their debut; but from the specimens given us of their ability in the streets, we are afraid they would be pronounced a little more noisy than musical. From the apparent activity manifest in the streets, we should say the tea parties were well attended. In all other respects the day passed over dully enough.
