Ever since January %, 1859, when the
centennial of the birthday of the great
Scottish poet was celebrated in every city,
town and village in Scotland and England
even in distant Canada and Auetralia
| in South Africa aud India, as we'll as in
| our own country, illuminstions, concerts
| and balls were the order of the day-Scots-
men everywhere take pride in celeb ating
| the birthday of one who has taken place,
not only in the affections of his own coun-
| trymen but of all lovers of song, which is
without parallel in literary annals The
| poor and the rich alike. the cultured pro-
fessional man the mechanic and the farmer
all have learned to honor and admire the
| "ploughboy bard" who could 30 truthfully
and justly express the msnliness, the ten
derness and the pathos Of everyday life as
we find them united in the songs of Robert
Burns.
| The New Haven Caledonian club, after
successfully celebrating the anniversary of
the birthday of Burns for twenty two sue
cessive years, has decided to make the next
annual celebration, which takes place the
9th inst, red letter day in the history
of the club. To that end, the committee
having the matter IN charge have spared
no expense in obtaining the best talent in
order to give rendition of Scottish songs,
such as has not before been given in this
| city. The celebration will consist of a
| grand concert and ball in Warner hall on
that evening. The program for the con
cert, which is printed by W. O. Mcintosh,
the art publisher of 1893 Chapel street, has
on the tops of the front page the following
quotation from one of Burns most popular
songs.
| SHOULD aud Acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to min;
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days O. Aud Lang Syre.''
Underneath an excellent portrait of
| Robert Burns, surrounded by Scotch
thistles, which adorns the same page, are
| the following lines of that beautiful song
of Burns, which will be sung during the
evenings entertainment by Mr. Mace repor,
"There was Lad WAS Born in Kyle"
He'll hae misfortunes great and sma',
| But aye heart aboon them a;
| He'll be a credit till us a,
| Well a be proud o. Robin
