HBH 1890 June 26 local news Three mile handicap was skated. The winner turned up in EWBANK, SCARFE being second, and BEAR third. Hastings correspondent yesterday: - Considerable excitement was caused in HASTINGS today by the marriage of Miss Amy ROACH to Mr B L KNIGHT, which came off, notwithstanding the rain, at St MATTHEW'S Church, which was of course crowed. Service performed by the Rev J HOBBS, and as the lady was a member of the choir the service was choral. The bride was given away by her father (Mr ROACH), the Rev J ROBERTSHAW, of Danevirke, acting as best man to the bridegroom. A string of old boots was tied to the back of the carriage occupied by the happy pair. This was bootiful, but a reversal of the usual practice, which is to have the "boot" in front of the coach. Joking apart, both parties have the good wishes of all who know them.
