CALEDONIAN EXCURSION.

Despite the stormy Weather, Sons or
 Caledonia Enjoy Themselves at Paw
 son Park-Result of the Athletic Con-
 tests.
 Taking into consideration the inclem- ency Of the weather, the excursion of the New Haven Caledonian club to Pawson park yesterday might be term ed what Is called an unqualified suc- cess. Despite the stormy nature of the day and the continual Dag" as the Scotch folks call it, the attendance of the members, their wives, sweethearts and other friends was very fair. The first, trip of the Victor in the morning was rewarded with fair complement of passengers, who were accompanied by Pipe Major Fraser. The skirl of the majors pipes seemed to have a magic influence on the company, and the fact that the gathering clouds were ominous and dark did not deter one and all from prophesying that before noon these dark harbingers would fly away and leave a clear and beautiful sky above.
 The second trip was made at two o'clock, when it was expected, owing to the half holiday in the stores and to the fact that the employees of Ewen McIn- tyre 6s Go. were to have their annual hop and supper at Branford that several hundred would take the oppor- tunity of the outing. But, alas, the hopes of those who prophesied were doomed to disappointment, for shortly after one o'clock the rain began to de- s,, %o~ &r tIr nH41, tyre company, who were all at Belle dock ready to go. decided to defer their trip to a more congenial time, and thus the Victor departed with mere hand full of passengers.
 The weather at the park was more agreeable than in the city, and enabled the Caledonians to enjoy themselves and carry out their program of ar engagements. The trip back was safely made shortly after seven o'clock, and before parting the company joined in singing "Auld Lang Syne.''
 The committee of arrangements was composed of John Menzies, George Munro, William Paterson and Charles Munro.
