The Philadelphia Caledonian Club tournament is
thing OF the past, and the streets to-day are com
parativey free from the bare-legged and joly.lo
ing Scots. The gathering OF yesterday Is conceded
to have been the most successful, both as regards
the numbers In attendance ana financially, thai
has been vouchsafed them for years. The crowd
at OakdaIe Park was immense, and surpassed any
similar gathering at jones' Woods, not even ex.
cepting the athletic Jetes held there in which
Donald Dinnie and other celebrated Sons
OF Scotia participated year or so ago
But one or two trivial accidents were chronicled
and no brawls occurred to mar the festivities

entertained at fine banquet In the large hall
Of the Assembly Building, corner Tenth and
