From the Evening News, 1993: THE date will be forever red in the Bolton Wanderers' calendar.

It will go down as the night 8,500 Bolton fans, a magnanimous beaten manager and the famous Kop saluted each and every one of Bruce Rioch's heroes.

Bolton Wanderers, the club that in days long gone revelled in FA Cup glory, became true giant-killers for the first time last night when they beat Liverpool 2-0 with goals from John McGinlay and Andy Walker and knocked the holders out of the Cup.

MORTGAGE rates were cut today by a full one per cent - the fourth drop in less than a month. This brings the rate down to 8 per cent, the level of five years ago.

THE art world was buzzing with controversy today after the disclosure than Lady Churchill destroyed the Graham Sutherland portrait of her husband, Sir Winston. The Churchill couple both loathed the work, of which Sir Winston once said: "It makes me look half-witted, which I ain't."

Sutherland himself attacked the destruction of his work as "an act of vandalism."

SIR,- The letter from 'Four Single Typists' in your paper is typical of the attitude of many younger office girls of today.

It is to be hoped that when they marry, their husbands will be in a position to buy a house "outright" to prevent them from having to work.

As for their argument that married women say "my husband this", and "my husband that" - how about husbands saying "my wife can do this", "my wife can do that".

One must give the girls credit. however, for admitting their selfish attitude towards their future husbands. Yours,

Two Can Live as Cheaply

ONLY those intimately connected with then institution, and those who get a glimpse of the working of the Bolton Schools and Workshops for the Blind, can accurately describe the grand work being carried on at Tipping-st. to help those who have been deprived of sight.

On Tuesday afternoon and evening there took place the annual event to which the blind workpeople look forward with much pleasure - the usual dinner and concert being attended by great success. In the afternoon about 40 of the blind and their friends sat down to a substantial dinner, and the evening gathering, attended by a large number of well-wishers and helpers of the blind, was presided over by the Vicar of Bolton, the Rev. H. Henn, M.A., president of the institution.
