Memorl(.ll Fountain to the Duke of Athole.

On Monday afternoon the Duchess-Dowager of Atholo
performed the ceremony of inaugurating a fountain, which
has been erected by the inhabitants of Dunkeld in memory
of the late duke. A committee was appointed by the inha-
bitants for carrying out the memorial , and on it having
been resolved that it should assume the form of a fountain,
they chose a design which had been prepared by Mr. C.
S. Robertson, architect, Perth. The foundation stone was
laid in August last by Mr. Jack, the chairman of the com-
mittee, and the work having now been completed, the
Duchess Dowager of Athole, who has along with the pre-
sent duke granted a supply of water for the fountain and
the town, kindly consented to preside at the inaugura-
tion. On the front of the pedestal the following inscrip-
tion has been carved in mediaeval characters :—" To the
memory of George Augustus Frederick John, 6th Duke of
Athole, K.T." On the north side—" Born Sept. 20, 1814,
died Jan. 16,1864." And on the south—" Erected by the
inhabitants of Dunkeld and other friends, 1866."

Shortly after 2 o'clock her grace the Duchess-Dowager
with the Duchess of Athole, Lady Strathallan, Miss Mac-
gregor, Mrs. Kier, Mrs. Ogle, and Mrs. R. Drummond, took
up a position on the platform; and among those around
the fountain were the Duke of Athole, Viscount Strath-
allan, Lord J. Murray, Sir St. V. Whitshed, Bart., Captain
Pollard, R.N., &c.

The company sung the 100th Psalm, and prayer having
been offered by the Rev. Mr. Wilson,
Mr. JAcx., the chairman of the committee, made a few
remarks expressive of the appreciation of the people of
Dunkeld of the virtues and acts of kindness of the late
Duke, and stated that his grace's memory wouldbelo.,neg_
respected by the working class, to which he (Mr. Jack)

you have felt what you could do, and .you have done it
with the energy of men. (Cheers.) It is now therefore
most gratifying to me to think that so much disinterested
energy should immediately reap a benefit to the inhabi-
tants of Dunkeld—(cheers)—and that my son and I have
had it in our power thus to unite for a Common good.
(Cheers.) The water which will henceforth flow from this
fountain I hope will prove a benefit to all at the present
time, and with God's blessing will, I trust, continue to do
so through many future generations. (Loud cheers.)
Her Grace the Duchess-Dowager then turned the water
on to the fountain, and it gushed forth amid the renewed
cheers of the multitude, which were mingled with the
booming of cannon from Stanley-hill. Her grace then
drank a cup of the water, and her example was followed
by the ladies accompanying her and others around the
fountain. The Duchess-Dowager afterwards shook hands
with the members of the sub-committee, the architect, and
contractor, and retired amid the cheers of the crowd.
The procession was then reformed and marched to the
Athole Arms Inn, where a large party sat down to dinner.
