 The New Haven Caledonian club had l a rousing meeting last night, the occa sion being the installation of the new officers for the year. After the installa- tion ceremony a banquet was rendered the outgoing and incoming officers. Am pie justice having been done to the abundance of dainty Scotch dishes which had been made ready by the wo- men friends of the club, Chief w. c. ! Mcintosh, who has been reelected to that honorable position, made an elo- quent speech, in which he remarked on the great good the New Haven Caledo- nian club had done in the past and of the still greater good it was bound to accomplish in the future. Songs and readings, as well as other speeches, were contributed during the evening by various members of the society and were greatly appreciated by all pres- ent.
 Few men are better known or more highly respected in the city of New Haven than is the new chief of the club, w. c. Mcintosh, A hard worker and an eloquent speaker, he is the very man for such a position as that of chief of the New Haven Caledonian club. Since his occupation of the chiefs chair he has done much to raise the standard of the clubs work by his enthusiasm and admiration for everything that pertains to the welfare of a Scotchmen MT. Mcintosh is also an active worker in the New England Order of Protec- ton, where he is highly esteemed by the members Under his leadership the Caledonian club will undoubtedly meet with much success during the present year.
 First Chieftain Charles Menzies is the right man in the right place. He is an enthusiastic Scot and has been mem Der of the club for quite number of years, during which time he has done much good work on committees. He is the senior member of the we'll known plumbing firm of Menzies & Menzies.
 Second Chieftain John MacLauchlin, who has been for many years the clubs treasurer, is also one of it's oldest and most respected members. Since he be- came the head of it's financial depart ment the club has gone on prospering as it never prospered before, while it's funds has kept increasing beyond the faintest dreams of the most ardent members. He has done other useful work for the club and it is needless to say that his services have been greatly appreciated.
 William Paterson, who was installed as financial secretary, is now holding that important position for the second term He is one of New Haven's young est and brightest business men, being the head of the firm of contractors and builders that bear his name. He takes a lively interest in all that concerns the welfare of the club and is captain of it's bowling team.
 John MacLauchlin, jr., is one of the | clubs youngest members and was in- stalled as recording secretary for the l second term last night. During his 1 tenure of office he has worked hard for | the success of the organization, and his unanimous reelection is positive proof | that his efforts were appreciated by ! the club.
 With such a staff of officers there is but little fear that the club will go on and prosper in the future as it has done in the past.
