OLD DUNMOW FLITCH CEREMONY.—This old-time custom was continued this year at Ilford, Essex, when four members of Parliament and their wives competed for the flitch of bacon which is awarded to the married couple who can prove that they have lived together for a year and a day without quarrelling. The judge on this occasion was Mr. Tom Webster, the famous cartoonist, and the jury consisted of bachelors and maidens. The photograph shows Mr. V. L. McEntree, M.P., the winner, on trial.
