The Scotia Club of Hudson County, or
ganized two years ago, met last night to
elect its officers and make preparations,
not for clambake, planked shad dinner
or every day common "chowder." but
something new in the line of feasting 1t
must not be understood that the club was
formed for merely gastronomic exercises,
but to keep alive interest in .tAuld Scotia,
stern and wild" its literature, history and
folk lore of the hills, the gqens and the
people. Thoroughly believing in the Scot
tish axiom that there's nae folk like oor
ain,'' the members drop business and
politics when anything pertaining to the
club is on the carpet. So last night there
was big attendance and the papers read
were interesting
Chief John E. Macarthur, who presided,
bade welcome to the members and con-
fined himself to the ''canniness" of Scotch
people; their economy and prominence in
big business undertakings. He argued
that Scotchmen in every walk of life had
distinguished themselves; the army navy,
legal and medical professions were full of
examples, and whenever the North Pole
was discovered a Scotchman would be
found sitting on the top, of it, The Chief
created much laughter when as an illus
tration of the thriftiness of the Scot he
told story of man who once said to
him
Il can't see why you people should say
haze for have -
Il told him that it was our economical
disposition said the Chief because
every time a Scotchman says hae for have

being, completed, a general discussion fol-
lowed, winding up in arrangements for
the annual feast. A committee for that
purpose, consisting of P. McCree, Ian
Glenn and Ian McAusland, was appointed,
and having retired for few minutes it
returned with draft for the menu,
which was unanimously approved. These

The menu agreed upon, the next thing
talked over was the place to eat it.
Some suggested that the Robert Davis
Association should be requested to sub
stitute it for the repast at Donnelly's
Grove on September H. but Chief Nevin
opposed it, on the ground that it would
be necessary to print several thousand
translations of it. Some hazarded the
idea that if it were printed in Irish
Gaelic it might go; but that too fell to
the ground. Finally the place for the
feast was left to the Dinner Committee
Il move We, sir, that we invite Presi-
dent Mckinley, who is of Scotch descent,
to the banquet said Clansman McDatz.
If you do. retorted Chief Nevin, "Tn
invite W. j. Bryan, who is of Irish de-
scent; he said so the other day..
That started lively talk, ending in
the determination that only Mayor Hoos
of Jersey City, Mayor Pagan of Hoboken
should be invited, his Honor having been
guest of honor before. Just before wind
Ing up. the singing ''Auld Lang Syne" the
historian of the club said
Gentlemen, since. we are about to ask
the Mayor, it would only be a compli-
ment to him to have our National anthem
Chieftain has taken pains to translate
the lines into German; but he is too
modest to tell you SO. l however have
his translation, and here it is:-
Wer mag vergessen alter Treu',
Und lag sic noch so welt?
Wer mag vergeSSen alter Treu'
Und gutter alter Zeit?
Die quite alte Zeit. mein Freund,
Die CUTE alte Zeit-
Den Becher hier, den bringen wir

Wir brachen spielend auf den Holm
Die Blumen welt und brett
Nun hat der Veg uns mud gemacht
Seit jener alien Zeit.
Die CUTE alte zeit u. $ W.
Wir platscherten i'm Bach umher
In Lust und Frohlichkeit,
Nun rauschte zwischen uns Elm Nicer
Seit jener guten Zeit.
Die CUTE alte zeit u. $. W.
