A special reporter having charge q ne
arrival Of His Majesty. the King. yee1o1dng.
while around Carnival Palace, heard II fol-
lowing related:
THE DUKE OF PERrH-THE CELEBRA1D CON-
BAT OF CLAN CHATTAN AND CLAN GLE.
Toe present Duke of Perth, who accompa-
MES HIS Majesty, the King Of the Carnival
in his visit to this city, is connected by bio
and marriage with the famous Scottish fau11y
Of Buccleuh.
When quite young man, he with ely
forty men of his clan, scaled the WALL Of
Lochaber, and opened the gates to Ro1eet
Bruce, who was thus enabled to gain . 1nost
signal victory.
The Duke has large soar, now poxtially
hid by his flowing beard, of which r. how
ever, is very proud, it being gained h this
wise:
1t appears there existed, according % Ut
veracious chronicler, Sir Walter Scott - one
time in the Highlands, . most deodIy 1oud
between the powerful families Of Clan Ohat-
tan and Clan Q1ele. This feud twas agreed
should be settled by q commit befwesn
twenty men Of each clan, who should fight
with shield and clamor until enc acknoWl.
edged their defeat or all were killed.
Accordingly, at the appointed day the chosen
tan before Perth, where the battle was to b
fought. They were accompanied BY their
bag pipers, who each turiously played their
instruments in defiance of each other, and in
cited the combatants to the highest fury.
The clans we're accompanied by delegates
Of the Grahams of Netherhy, Fosters. Fem
wicks, Musgroves and MacGregors. The old
Lord Of Edinboro appeared on h0rsebacks
while it was announced that the Campbells
were coming A large number. unfortunately
thinking that this had some reference to the
animals in Barnum's menagerie, went to get
ready for the circus, and so missed the fight.
Lord Edinboro said as all of the combatants
wore kits, they would some of them doubt
less be kilt, which raised laugh until his
lordship began to explain it was q joke.
When the preparations for the combat were
complete it was sscertained that owing to the
chief of Clan Quele, seeing double, he had not
as many men as Clan Chattan, and discussed
the matter so long that Lord E. asked when
he was going to stop Chattan about it.
A small boy ran up at this moment to say
the police we're coming, but as the Duke had
decided he would take the place of the miss.
ing Clan Quele man, the fight commenced.
Whoop. hurrah. how they then did fight.
Up and down over the grass, first one way,
then the other, in and out, fair blows and
foul.
The Duke of Perth had the head Chattan
mans head in chaucery, and was giving it
to him, when the cry of "look out for the
police" was raised.
The crowd fed, dispersed in every direc-
ton, and all escaped, but as the noble Duke
was climbing over q picket fence his foot
slipped and he was struck by one of the
sharp points under the chin, which made
scar for life.

"Once there was dromedary who met in
the desert rhiroceros. The latter was
nearly perishing with thirst, and implored the
former to grant him just q small supply from
the quantity he had on hand. "Nay," re-
plie0 the dromedary, II always procure q
supply when see there will be Q demand,
and am sorry I can not accommodate my
friends. as shall profit by the scarcity"
"Very WE'LL" the rhinoceros replied, and
went his way.
Shortly after the dromedary came upon the

pool which he had fastened to reach.
