that there are probably 1900 men in ST.
Paul eligible to membership who are
not members, and the chief reason L
have found has been because they have
entirely misunderstood the aim and OBJ
iectS of the society. While our society
IS primarily a social society, yet the
pocket of our worthy treasurer, MI. Nc
LeOd, is always open To relieve distress.
A large proportion of all our receipts is
laid rellgiouSly aside for BENEVOLENT
purposes. We calculate that no worthy
ScOtchman, whether a member OF Our
society or not, shall want, or be burden
on city. county Or state. We seek by
our social and literary gatherings TO
cultivate taste for Scottish music and
literature, and we strive to encourage
the growth and extension. OF. our ma

The bridegroom may forget the bride

The monarch may forget the crown
That on his head an hour has been;
The mother nIay forg the ebfid

But I'll remember thee-ocotland-

Songs ana speeches.
BANKS and Braes o. Benny Doom"
was sung by the audience. w. +, Myron
leading, Prof. Z. q. Titcomb, accom-
PIANIST, and it was gwen with vim and
spirit that was aeilghtful to behold.
Inc toast 10 the president OF the United
States and the queen Of Breat Britain
was responded to by the bund. Mrs. T..
d. Yale sang "1nis Is My Dream" so
cDarmingIy that she was recalled, and
touched responsive chord i'll every
heart with Bessie, the Maid OF Dun
dee" sung as it should be.
Rev. Smith Baker, d. d., of Mime
apOiS. spoke to tile toast Scotland"
At the outset he said he knew nothing
ABOUT Scotland, but as the reverend
gentleman was in peculiarly pleasant
mood, lie kept the Well-fed listeners
ughing from start to finish. He spoke
OF the Scotch as the Yankees
OF Scotland, and OF the Yankees as
the Scotchmen of America, in prov
ing that the two nations have much i'll
common. they are alike, he said, III
love or country; i'll poHrehess of the
trueSt kind; III their lntultlve sense or
pr0priety; III the great qualities of
stieKtotIYeneS and perseverance,: i'll
religious Instinct; i'll Theological percep-
ton and analysis: in stfaight-laced con-
scienIioushess. DR.. Bakers remarks
were punetuated by anecdotes and Incl
dents that were so pat and pointed that
his short talk proved an excellent set
tier tor the good victualS consumed.
Mona" Was sung with good effect by
E. McCatfrey, and then Judge j. j.
Egan eloquently responded to the toast
America" Columbus, he said, having
accidentally discovered America in a
search for snort passage 10 the Indies,
found here people the origin of whom
no man knew; whose earliest and per-
laps better history will never be writ
ten. Then, tracing the various events
as recOrded-the DloodthirSty quest for
gold of The Spanards, the peaceful
English settlers in New England, the
Revolutionary period, the civil war
and dwelling ably OF each point, the
speaker closed in happy vein ten
minute speech that was capital in Its
treatment Of so broad Il subject.
Mrs. Yale sang 20 Happy Day" and
My Laddie" to the entire satisfaction
of all hearers, and eX-President James
II. Barnard spoke for 1.-THE Lasses' as
only master of his subject can. Deep
study of the question has enabled Mr..
Barnard to form decided views, and lie
finds no trouble in expressing them in
graceful, pointed sentences that would
be pleasant to ever sn sour lass, and
none such ever attend st. Andrews
banquet.
w f. MyToni is always favorite with
his countrymen, and justly so, for none
SO well as he can do full Justice to the
musical tWang that is the spieiest part
Of good Scotch song. Last night he
we'll sustained his part and put the
company i'll good humor to rise and rem
der Aud Lang Syne" as it has not
been sung since the last banquet. Dane
ing filled the balance of the evenings
pleasure.
