FOUR SURPRISE PEALS IN A DAY.

When, some years ago, the St. Stephen’s, Westminster, Society, rang three Surprise peals in a day, it was thought that tho last word had been said in what could, be done in regard to the number of 5000’s that could be rung in one day. But that idea proved a fiction, and this Easter a Kentish band rang four 5000’s of Minor in a day. It had been left, however, for a band of the Middlesex Association to score the first four peals in one day upon rings of eight, and they did it in as complete a manner possible by ringing them in four different methods.

NEARLY TWELVE HOURS' RINGING.

The time occupied in actual ringing was close upon twelve hours - a prodigious day's work for ordinary mortals. But then, as ringers, the men who took part are hardly ordinary mortals. All but one were in the 15,000 of Bristol at Hornchurch two years ago, and that one, with four of the others, were in the famous 18,027 at Loughborough in 1909. Nevertheless, four Surprise peals in four methods in one day is a performance of great merit, both as a feat of physical and mental endurance. It will be noticed that, the ever-youthful I.G.S. was one of the number. Tho older he gets the more game he appears to be

for tasks which many a young man would shrink from.
