A large crowd and a pleasant day made
Clan Gordon's twentieth annual pIcnIc
held al Caledonia park Saturday after
noon, marked success. There we're fully
twenty-five hundred people on the grounds
during the afternoon and It was very
quiet and orderly crowd.
The ease and smoo.hness With. which
everything was done speaks we'll for the
amusement committee which had the
affair tn charge. Here and there about
the grounds we're various stands where
refreshments might be obtained. At the
Ice cream stand over sixty gallons OF Mas
colts famous cream were served during
the day.
AT the Pavilion Gilbertson's orchestra
furnished music for those who s'tripped
the light fantastic toe The Highland
Cadet Pipe Band Of Montreal, dressed in
Highland costumes, delighted the crowd
with their rendering of old Scotch melo-
dies.
At three O'clock all the children on the
| grounds, under twelve years of age, lined
| up for Mayor Barclays generous distribu-
tion. Each child was given dime and
nearly $50 was used before the procession
had ended
/ A very pretty feature was the dancing
/ Of the Highland ding and the sword dance
| BY the Barclay sisters, Flora, Maggie and
Grace. After this Angus Fraser, one OF
| the pipers from Montreal gave very
| graceful exhibition of the Highland ding
