this reunion. The Scotia Cluo, as you
are all aware, is a distinctively Scotch
club. organized expressly for the purpose
Of reviving and maintaining some OF the
old traditions and sages OF our natlVe
heath. 1t is made up wholly OF natlVe

"There is only one other word | wish
RI saw. and hat is to explain why this
affair is held on Saturday night, and l
| say it with all the frankness Of a New
York Police Captains testimony before
the Mazet Committee: it was held tonight
in order to prevent any of those present
from hooking the K-aiser-(Roars of
laughter)-or anything else tomorrow.
Because owing to the guarding influence
of my friend, Chief Murphy, Jersey City
is not what is commonly known as a wide
| open town. (Renewed merriment.j
Then began an entertainment which for
excellence and variety has rarely been
! equalled at any private entertainment
held in the city. There were the humor-
lists Tom Ballantyne and Bob Mcdonald,
c.. f. Werner and A. Reeves; singers like
| Charles II. Smith, Harry Morgan, j.
| oliver, Tom Mcdonald, Charles White and
| Tom Patterson; artists like ]. L. Gossin,
| Al. Raymond and others. Pipers Lamb and
| Willie Mcdonald played splendidly and
when at the close of the dinner Lamb
| danced the sword dance to music by Nc
| Donald with the pipes the applause was
| deafening. to say nothing of the Irish reel
which closed that part of the entertain
ment. Mr.. A.. ]. Corcoran and Chief Muir
| ply made brief speeches.
One of the guests was Chief Engineer
Walls of the auxiliary cruiser st. Louis,
who gave a graphic account of the cutting
of the Cuban cables. And so on went the
programme, the only trouble being that
the POSTMASTER had SO many good things
| to announce that he couldn't find room
for all. Aud Lang Syne' brought the
| dinner to a close.
