COMPXTITION OF MYERS.
The annual competition for prizes given by the
Highland Society of London, to the three b perfor-
mers on the great Highland Bag-pipe, was h id +n the
Theatre Royal, Edinhuigh, Timidity lati, in pretet ee
of a Commi.tee of Judges, named by the Highland
Society of Sc' tland.

Tue firit prize, being a handforre pipe, pr scaly
mounted, and adorned with a fiver Lisle, upon ...Lich
there has !ince been engraved the proper int: riptinn,
together with 4.rN me. ks Scots n (root,. was diljUd4Cd
to Duncan Ma,Malter, piper to tie Laird of Coll.
The fecund pi ize, bring 30 met ks, was adjudged
to Donald MacNrb, piper to the Brt adalbane volun-
teers, and al the Laird of Mae. an.
And the third pt ize, being likewife 30 maks, was
voted to Peter• Forbes, from F fs, Pei ttlinire.
On this nee'afion the Right 1-1,,n chit Earl of Mor-
se was pleated to mark his approbati m of the encen.
ragement given ler the prtfervati, n of Our aricient,
warlike, and national mufic and mannt rs, by deliver.
ing the prize pipe and the other prizes to the fuccefs-
ful competitors, which his Lordfhip did, in ptefence
of the audience. attended by Sir JoHN Castrasu., of
the Argyllthile militia, Colonel GRANT and Colonel
DUFF, of the Invernefs.fhire, Mr. Larson!, of La-
mont, Colonel MscLEAN, of COll, Mr. Mq...toD, of
Rafay, and the other Gentlemen of the Committee.
The audience were alfohighly entertained with the
reels and Highland dances introduced between the
acts. And although this was the firtt year the at-
tention of competitors had been called to playing the
cudgel, it was perfr rated in a much better style than
could have been expected. Thefe, with the belt
dancers, received fuitable premiums from the Com-
mittee.

From the increafed countenance and fupport which
not only thole connected with the Highlands, but the
c-mpany in general who are in Edinbuigh at the races,
are pleated to give to this annual competition and ex-
hibition, the Judges were much gratitied to find, that
from the large amount of the receipts of the Theatre
on the day of competition, with the turn allowed by
the London Society, they were enabled to make an
addition in money to the competitor who gained the
&ft prize, and to treple the fecond and third prizes,
betides making a handfome divifion among the un-
fuccefsful candidates, Tome of whom had come from
a great dillance, to encourage them to further exer-
tions in this ancient national mac, and likcwife
among the Highland dancers.
