A FINE SUCCESS.
Clan mcLeod,s Concert and Bali at the
AtheneuM.


Atheneuna.
The Sons of Scotland, Clan Mcleod, gave
a very pleasant entertainment last night in
the Atheneum. It consisted of grand con-
cert and ball. The programme of the concert
was printed recently. All the performers
were repeatedly encored, yet Miss Lizzie Lid
dell of New Haven and Mrs. S. B. Thomas of
New York seemed to have raised most enthu-
siasm among the audience. Mr.. R. Paton's
mastery over the violin and Mr.. w. Eunson' s
comic representations were respectively Won
derful and irresistible. The bagpipe played
now and then by Duncan Urquhart and the
highland fling and sword dance by Peter
Crerar created that enthusiasm among the
audience which is peculiar to the Scottish
people.
After the concert the benches were remov-
ed from the floor and the ball began to take
place. The dance was started at about half
past eleven and ended at o'clock in the
morning.
The entertainment was a success both So
cially and financially. The proceeds will go
to the benefit of the clan. There are from
forty to fifty members in the New Haven Nc
Ieod clan.
