President Botkin, to consider the ad-

earnest and energetic members who
shirk no responsibility and evade no
duty when called upon to ''put their
hands to the plow," and was character
lied by that unity Of purpose and genu-
ine accord which brings success to any
enterprise. The enthusiasm evinced by

shine, by far, any that have preceded it.

that those who come to make merry at
these gatherings will have no cause to
murmur, for it will be the endeavor OF
the society to please even the most

protection from the elements in case o.
inclement weather, and in which the

Sentative Of Scottish cavalry, and several
floats, resplendent in tinsel and gay
coloring, representing memorable events
in Scottish history, giving a delineation
of some of those thrilling incidents Of
feudal times when warning clans went
forth, in battle array, to do or die for
their master, at which times it was
frequently demonstrated that prudence
