The beautiful dining hall was made
more attractive by the distribution of
potted plants on tables and various
other places. The officrrs-eIect and
several distinguished guests sat at the
table at the west end of the hall.

ceived with applause. The officers in

A. ID. acknowledgements.
President William Rodger delivered
all address in which he acknowledged
the compliment paid him of ret cleo
ton to tie Position of presiding officer.
Only once before had similar compli-
ment been paid to any of the members of
tue snciety and that was to the father of
tne society, Father Taylor" Presi-
dent ROdger referred to the custom of
COMMUNICATING st. Andrews day, and
said that it did not mean that Scotch
men in America were less loyal to the
land OF their adoption, for it was the
boast of that people to vie with all
Americans in becoming good citizens
or this country.
The first toast of the evening was:
"ihe President of the United States
and the Queen of Great Britain" Re-
Spouse by orchestra and bagpipes.
Rev. j. S. Black, u. D., of Minneap-
oils, responded to the toast "BOnnie
Scotland" He said the Scotch had no
apology to make for celebrating ST.
Andrews day. The Scotch make good
citizens wherever they be. Scotchmen
were among the early settlers of
America. They had been crowded
out at home and came to
America, land that all Scotch
men who live here love. The founders
OF this government found their proto-
type for the constitution in the declara-
ton OF freedom from the hierarchy of
the Presbyterian church in Scotland.
j. G. MyrOn sang 1.-The Highland
mans Toast in ali acceptable manner.
DIR. Dinwoodie made fitting response
to the toast, America, the Land of Our
Adoption"
Mr.. and Mrs. De Wolf sang in their
charming and inimirable manner 1.-The
Language of Love-" by Suppe.
Hon. j. n. Castle, of Saltwater, re-
sponded to the toast, "rne State of Min
nesota," in patriotic and eloquent style.
He SAID the person who would forget
the land of his birth would make poor
citizen in any place. The first wedding
in Minnesota was only forty-four years
ago. and the couple were of Scotch
descent. and their wedding took place
before justice of the peace in Battle
hollow, near Saltwater. Minnesota
people had reason to be proud of her
people, her officers, her schools and her
deeds in war and in peace.
ID. HI. Colville sang bonnie Mary"
Rev. Robert Christie, ID. D.. responded
| to tile toast, ''Our Failings." in the eIo-
quent manner for which his after-dinner
speeches are noted.
Mrs. De Wolf and Mrs. Colvllle sang
sob. Vert Thou in the Could Blast" in
a truly artiStic'and excellent manner.
Prof. j. j. McKinnon, OF Minneapolis,
responded gracefully to the toast The
LasSieS."
The programme ended with the
House Oh Hope quartette singing "The
Bloom Is on the Rye"
Although it was then after midnight,
the bonnie lads and laSSieS, and indeed
many of the older folks, could not go
home without participating in a social
Scotch dance. Kleist's orchestra was
again called into service. and dancing
was the order until the ''wee sma"
hours began to lengtheu and reminded
the company that good thing cannot
last always. and that they must sep
arate. which they reluctantly did, but
with the remembrance of most enjoy
able occasion.
