I ought to mention one thing which occurred, and
which all admitted was the most interesting sight of
the day. As the games were going on, the Marquis
of Abercorn presented Mrs. Cluny Macpherson and her
family, Mrs. Davidson and the Misses Davidson,
Tulloch, to the Queen. Her Majesty conversed for
some time with Mrs. Macpherson, during which one
of her sons, a smart little boy, came up to his mother,
and was immediately noticed by the Queen. He is
about five years of age, and was dressed in the High-
land costume. lle made his bow to her Majesty,
who introduced him to the Prince of Wales and the
Princess Royal. In two minutes after the three were
seen walking up and down, having hold of one ano-
ther's hands—the Princess Royal being in the
middle. Just as the crowd was dispersing, the
Prince of Wales was called into the Lodge, and when
parting with the little Macpherson the Prince was
heard to say—" Don't go away, please, we'll meet
again." The crowd gave three cheers for the Prince
of Wales, and he turned round and took off his High-
land bonnet, and make a bow in acknowledgment.
The Queen remained out all day, and seemed to
take great interest in the games, and Prince Albert.
himself measured the distance to which the stone was
thrown.

At the conclusion of the proceedings, Allen Mac-
donald, the bard of the district, was introduced by
Cluny, and recited an original piece of his own com-
position welcoming Queen Victoria to the Highlands.
Poets Laureate used to get a cask of wine on such oc-
casions, and Macdonald was also handsomely re-
warded by her Majesty.
