The curtain was immediately raised, and the numerous and
fashionable company assembled had an opportunity of seeing
that no fewer than 52 Highlanders, pipers and dancers, had
come forward to this competition appropriately dressed in their
native costume.
The competition continued till after S o'clock.: • en,the
last competitor had done playing, the judges retired deter-
mine the prizes. They remained in deliberation considerable
,
time, and upon their return, the whole competitors again
called upon the stage, and the decision of the prizes was an-
nounced by Lord Arbuthnot, Preses of the as fol-
lows : Committee, itltwvetore,

The Ist prize—A handsome pipe, of superior tone and work-
manship, ornamented with a flag bearing the national emblem
of the thistle, and a silver plate, upon which a suitable inscrip
tion has since been engraved, with 40 merks in money, was ad-
judged to Adam Graham, late Piper-Major to the Rosshire
Militia, now Piper to the Caithness Meeting, who had formerly

mounted Highland dirk was placed at the disposal of the Com-
mittee, as an extra prize. Tins prize, the Prows stated was
