mic given by the Caledonians in this city
yesterday was one of the best conducted
affairs of the kind that has ever taken place
in this locality, and certainly attracted the
largest attendance of the season.
An hour spent at East Park among the
wearers of the plaid and tartan, with the
wild strains OF the pibrock echoing among
the green woods, carried one back to the
olden days of Bonnie Scotland when the
Draw Highlanders gathered only too will
ingly for a foray into the lowlands and
across the border, or danced on the green
sward and gained glory and renown by
feats of strength and agility.
The games, under the able management
of Chief Morrison and Tom Scott, were the
center of attraction.
There were some notable Draw Scots
from abroad who had achieved glory in
the national games, and they were TO
give an exhibition of their strength and
skill.

met at the railway depot by two bagpipers
in full kits and by delegation from the
local Caledonian Club and escorted to the
clubs headquarters, where they were ban
quoted and toasted IN right royal style.
