NJ as well as others
who did not come from the land of
cakes, but who take a great interest in
the annual Scotch field day, and always
contribute literally to the prize. list.
Among the spectators in the boxes
were: W. II. Eustis, who donated
fine gold medal; l.. NJ. Stewart, who
also gave gold medal; Hon. K. b.
Langdon and many others. Chief
Byron Sutherland presented the prizes
at the close of the games, and all the
contestants were pretty well Satished
they had obtained the value of their eX-
ertionS. The day was a good one for
athletic sports, as clouds obscured the
sun and materially reduced the heat
during the day. The events were
started off about 2 o'clock by the master
of the arena, Archie Gray, and the In
terest hardly tagged to the end. The
greatest interest was taken in good
many of them by friends of the contest
ants in the spectators seats, partlcu-
larly the pole vaulting contest,
for which c. Cragie and A:
A. Nicholson entered. They had
a stiff tusSle for first place, which wa
finally won by Nicholson, who made
eight feet and eight inches. The caber
tossing, putting the shot and other DIS
tinctively Scottish events were all ap-
plauded literally, and the foot ball
game for the governors cup at the close
held about half the audience to late
hour. The play was good Oh both sides,
and resulted in q victory for the Tam
O'Shanters over the Carnations, who
started well and made goal i'll few
minutes, but seemed to tire out before
the finish. The Tam O'Shanters got
the second goal, the Canadians the
third, and then the Tam OShanters
made two more in succession. The bal
ance of the hour was spent in unaVatl-
ing efforts 10 get the ball under the bar,
and time was called with the Tam
O'Shanters victorious by score of 3 to
2. The record of the events in the
