MyrOn, Robert Morrison and James
Singer.
Ex-Presldent Robertson in vacating
the chair said the membership has i'll
creased the past year, and the sOcials
are yearly becoming more entlcIng to
friends. He expressed thanks to the
press for aid III making the society
success. The new features of the SOci-
ETY. are of literary character-discuss-
Ing the topics of the day. An employ
ment bureau is also added to the sOci
ETY.. and now no worthy Scotchman is
left without a situation being found

t0pher Leckie, vice president; H. R.

treasurer; committee. Alien Brown,
W. F. MyrOn, DIR. Fullerton. Robert
HaddOw, Duncan Connell, DIR. Donald.
The presidpnt-eIect, Mr.. R"dger,
made an address which was regarded as
to the point. James Singer sang "ScOt-
land YETI very accepiably. Rev.
S. q. Smith made happy
response to the toast Scotland"
During his remarks he said he would
have been much awe-Stricken by the
representatives of Scotland around him
if it were not that angels of mercy sus-
two ladies, one of which sat on each
side of HIM. He also cOntrasted. in his
happy vein. the feast of the Scottish
fathers and that of the present occasion.
ii reference TO the noted Scotch men
of letters was roundly applauded.
William Macarthur, dressed in the
costume of a Scottish highlander,
handled the bagpipeS in manner that
drew forth rounds of applause.
Miss Susan Mckay sang the "Caller
Herrin'' in a clear, mellow voice, and
so acceptably that she was called for
again, and responded with the song
''Dde We min Lang Syne."
Rev. Burrell. of Minneapolis, made
happy response to the tOast-"Amer-
ica." He admitted that he was only
half Scotch, but said that the part that
is Scotch is no humbug, it Is real; old
pure land O'cakes. He related expert
enceS of visiting family in MinnPapO-
lis who were members fhis church, but
whom he had not visited in the two
years they were there; but finding they
were about to leave the city ne went to
see them. They were so indignant that
tie family coming in one by one re-
ceived him coOly, until at last the old
lady came in. She was the coolest of
the family in her demeanOr, and up
braided him for his neglect, and said
when she lived in Scotland she at
tended a church twice as large
as his, and the minister called
one quarter. She would
frequently break Off in her general COIL
versation to say: "You must excuse
me, am Scotch" meaning that the fact
of her nationality would excuse her
for being abrupt, and showing her ill.,
dignatiOn at the apparent previous
neglect of the speaker in calling on the
family. The doctor then showed how
the Scotch half of him asserted itself in
being equally abrupt in manner
He also SAID that as between the
land of cakes and the land of Yankee
Doodle he was an American. Scotland
was a beautiful land-to move out of.
He effectively described the climate and
miSts of Scotland, and spoke of the
American half of him drinking soda
water while visiting i'm Scotland. He
paid tribute to Scottish history and
her great men. but said there is one
thing in America that is worth all of
Scotch history, and that is the story Of
the old bell ringer who rang equality of
man around the world.
The assembly Joined heartily in the
song my Country it's of Thee"
The trio, 20 Willie's Brew'd a Peck
o. Maut'' was rendered in an accepta-
bic manner.
Mr.. Sutherland's response to the
toast "Our Sister Societies" was in his
most happy vein.
Miss Nellie Maben sang "You" in a
pleasing manner.
Mr.. Thompson's response to the toast,
''The Lassies," was a popular subject
| well handled. Miss Susan Mckay sang
''Wi thin Mile O. Edinbro Town" in a
fascinating style. Every one Joined in
"Auld Lang Syne" with a will. Prof.
Willis orchestra diScOurSed its best
strains of music in filling its part in the
programme.
Dancing followed the banquet, lasting
until late hour of the night.
