THE EVENING NEWS.


of the Poets, counrymen and women and
AnSlicized friends met at AIilGngton's
Hall TO do honor to his memory. The
opening exercise was an grafton from
Judge Will Campbell. That gentleman,
in assuming the position of orator, GER
taiuly chose the most effective style, for he
did not make speech, but with his coun-
trymen and friends gathered around him,
talked in u manner that should have been
heard to have been appreciated. his
biography Of the Poet was complete from
his first verse composed at the plowshare,
to his death at AYR. His struggles, his
successes, his frailtieS and virtues, were all
recounted, and like a true Scotchman,
the speaker could never fault his clan.-
Quotations from Burns poems were pro-
fusely rendered, and with rich information
rarely heard. Tam 0'Shanter, John An
derson NY Joe John, and other gems from
the Burns ledge, were admirably assayed
at the orators will, and amid prolonged
applause. After the remarks, or rather
talk, of Judge Campbell, the dance COM
menced, and with American fancy, and
Scotch reels, the hours flew quickly until
twelve o'clock, when the party adjourned
to Robson's building for refreshments
Here the Burns grace" was repeated by
Mr.. Livingston, and the carnival COM
menced; the supper was of epicurean
quality, and the " Haggis" pudding was
pstronized by all. After the tables were
cleared, the President of the evening an
nounced that the balance of the amuse-
ments would consist of two kinds, dancing
at the Hall, and song, sentiment and wine
at the tables. We chose the latter, and
never passed a more agreeable hour
The first toast was from Mr.. Livingston,
the Chairman. ITO the memory of Ro-
bert Burns, one of natures greatest ard
noblest works." Received with applause
and responded to by gentleman whose
name we could not ascertain, in an orl-
ginal poem of considerable merit. Next
came a song, BY Mrs. Ross, which was
rendered in peculiarly happy manner.
A toast by Mr.. Auckland, was given to the
memory Of George Washington, the pat
riot, hero and statesman; responded to
by Mr.. Graham in IN appropriate man
ner. Glasses sounded, and the sentiment
was received with a bonnie warmth
Sons-The Star Spangled Banner. by
Mr.. Lindsey. was sung, the whole au-
dience Joining in the chorus; and here we
wish to remark, the spirit of loyalty that
seemed unanimously to peryade the
gathering. Mr.. Mcintosh gave as toast:
"The land we left, and the land we live
in - received with cheers, and responded
to by Mr.. Taylor, as follows: The
American Eagle and the Scottish Thistle,
whoever handles either roughly will sure
ly get scratched. Mr.. Livingston respond
ed in telling speech and song. After
which came song by Mrs. Gillespie, OF
dear Scotland" Mr.. Woods proposed
a sentiment-To Erin's Green Isle. her
sons and daughters, God bless them.
Responded to by Mr.. GroSom. Then
came songs by Messrs. Mckenzie and Ii
vineston. Sentiment followed sentiment
in quick succession, and song after song
was merrily sang, but as the hour waxed
late, and we were getting tired, after lis
tening to Rally round the Flag, by
little Miss Lindsey, we left the scene
with thoughts sacred to the memory OF
Bobby Burns.

other weapons, were used freely, and with
